I will lead an effective and efficient government that delivers quality services to the people. The role of government is to regulate, create an enabling environment for growth, and effectively manage the nation’s security sector so that every citizen can live and work in safety and with confidence.

With support from @UKinKenya through @ELGIA_Africa, CMD-Kenya convened a structured, party-centric discussion with the Linda Mwananchi Movement’s officials and policy leads. The focus of the discussion was issue Prioritization ahead of and beyond the 2027 Elections.
Together, we reviewed citizen priorities and evidence gathered through KISP consultative processes to identify the most salient issues facing the citizens today.
Political parties are the vehicles through which citizens’ demands become policy. As the movement evolves into a political party, this engagement was about grounding the movement's policy propositions and, ultimately, its manifesto on the real needs of mwananchi.
As CMD-Kenya, we believe that issue-based politics and consultative frameworks are key to strengthening democracy and delivering results for the people.
Edwin Sifuna: We go into this meeting in Taita Taveta, and these young people are on the back of all this information about everything that has been taken away. They tell me you need not worry, all these positions, some of them were given by Raila, but most of them are given by the public, and we are saying there is something better we feel would suit you. I’m sure it would roll off your tongue if you just say H.E, si mbaya #CitizenExplainer
This afternoon, I joined family, friends, and loved ones in Kisii County for a memorial gathering in honor of the late Rukia Mandari Ogeto. It was a moment to reflect on her life, celebrate her legacy, and continue standing in solidarity with my brother and longtime friend, Senior Counsel Ken Ogeto, and the entire family.
May God continue to grant them comfort, strength, and peace as they cherish the memories of a life well lived.
Tomorrow morning, I join Egesa FM for a candid conversation on the state of our nation and the urgent work ahead.
I will outline practical solutions to restore order, accountability, and opportunity for every Kenyan.
Tune in at 8:00 AM. #MrFixIt
Hon. Kalonzo had a sit down with Jeff 3 weeks ago, only 100k people have watched that interview since. Hon. Dr. Fred Matiang'i had his interview a day ago and 127k people have already watched the interview.
That itself defines the two candidates.
Fred Matiang’i: Right now, we are united by the desire to give Kenya a change in its leadership. It is not a walk in the park. Coalition building is usually a painful, messy experience, but people do it because that is probably the best option they have at that point in time. It is too early, even the Kibaki Tosha was said 3 months to the elections. In the process, we should find a formula for identifying a presidential candidate. That formula ought to be inclusive, consultative, and people-centred #CitizenSundayLive
Fred Matiang’i: I am conscientiously seeking the opportunity to lead this country seriously. I promise Kenyans I will not make excuses, I will not wake up in the morning and make excuses for not doing what I was supposed to do. Kenya’s problem is governance. The problem of this country is management. I propose, and this is my view, that this country needs a fixer. I am Mr. Fix It, look no further #CitizenSundayLive
Fred Matiang’i: I believe people who say police are working with goons, and I tell them that is because of the failure and dysfunctional nature of the security sector. I know Kanja is a very good policeman, in fact, probably one of the best police officers this country has ever had. I know Noordin. We worked together; he was the DPP at that time. These are people who, if left to work on their own, would deliver a safe, clear, and clean Kenya. You can see clearly that some of the work these people are trying to do is either being undermined or interfered with. I am prepared to give a serious government to this country #CitizenSundayLive
Tonight, I join Kenyans on JKL Sunday Live to share my vision for 2027 and the urgent plan to fix our country.
It is time to restore order, rebuild our systems, and put Kenya back on a path that works for every citizen.
