Open Letter to Edwin “Wakenya” Sifuna: We See What’s Happening
Sifuna, we need to talk…
Not about your politics. Not about your platform. About the company you’re starting to keep.
There’s a pattern forming, and we Kenyans are watching.
People who spent years switching sides, dodging accountability, and rebranding every election cycle are suddenly finding their way into your circle. Not because they believe in what you stand for but because proximity to you is useful cover.
Let’s call it what it is: integrity laundering.
When someone with a track record of scandal, betrayal, or convenient amnesia starts showing up next to you, smiling for the cameras, nodding along at your rallies, they’re not endorsing your vision. They’re borrowing your credibility.
And here’s the thing: credibility doesn’t transfer. It gets diluted.
Every recycled politician who gets a seat at your table is a signal to the people who trusted you first. It says: maybe principles are negotiable after all. Maybe this was never different from the rest.
We didn’t back you because you were the safest bet. We backed you because you weren’t supposed to need the same old faces to survive politically.
So here’s our ask, plainly:
Choose your circle like your legacy depends on it, because it does.
The people who stood with you when it cost them something are worth more than the ones showing up now that it’s convenient.
Kenya doesn’t need another leader surrounded by yesterday’s compromises wearing today’s rhetoric.
We’re watching who you let in. Choose wisely.
Let’s address the elephant in the room because I feel like many people don’t want to have this conversation😳
So the plan is to vote for Sifuna simply because he can help get Ruto out? As long as Ruto is gone, then we’re good? Haven’t we been here before? Isn’t that exactly how Ruto benefited from the anger against Uhuru&Raila ?
And before that, wasn’t Uhuru’s victory also driven in part by a wave of sympathy over the ICC cases and the feeling among many supporters that it was time to stand with him and push back against those they believed were targeting him? Look at how Uhuru’s administration left this country? Haven’t we already seen where voting out of anger or emotion, instead of demanding better leadership, leaves this country?
The next election cannot just be about who is most likely to defeat Ruto. It has to be about who has a clear plan to deal with corruption, protect the Constitution, end abductions and extrajudicial killings, fix our broken healthcare system, reform education, create jobs, reduce the cost of living, tackle public debt, restore independent institutions and ensure there is real accountability in government.
I understand the thinking. The common enemy is Ruto, and the enemy of my enemy quickly becomes a friend. But I refuse to believe that after everything this country has been through, Kenyans are ready to settle for people with serious questions hanging over them simply because they are the fastest route to removing one man from power. A perfect example, Aisha Jumwa😂
We cannot keep voting against someone. At some point, we have to start voting for something. Otherwise, we’ll keep changing faces while the system that keeps failing Kenyans remains exactly the same.
The slogan is “Linda Mwananchi.”
The new sign in is Aisha Jumwa😳 What a shame!! Nini haswa mna linda?
You cannot build a movement around accountability, integrity and putting Kenyans first, then turn around and recruit the very politicians who represent everything people have been complaining about for years.
If this is the standard, then “Linda Mwananchi” risks becoming just another political rebrand with a catchy slogan. Also @orengo_james this is beneath you!
This is the same Aisha Jumwa who has spent years at the center of political controversy, changing political camps, facing persistent integrity questions, and becoming a symbol of the kind of politics many Kenyans say they want to leave behind. At a time when people are demanding accountability and a complete break from the old political culture, having her in your camp sends the exact opposite message🚶🏿♀️ kwendeni uko
The next person who wants to lead this country needs to stop telling Kenyans they have a plan. We are tired of hearing about plans. You already know the problems!!
Odious debt, corruption, a broken education system, a struggling health sector, unemployment and the high cost of living and so much more. None of these issues are new. Tell us exactly what you are going to do about them.
Kenyans don’t need another campaign built on slogans and promises. We need specifics, timelines and accountability. Anyone asking for our vote should first tell us, in detail, how they intend to fix this country. We already know the problems. What we’re waiting for are the solutions.
This business of saying, “We’re meeting, we’re consulting, we’ll unveil our agenda when the time is right,” is not going to work anymore. The time is now. Tell Kenyans how you will deal with the debt, what laws you will change to fight corruption, how you will fix public hospitals, what reforms you will make to education, where the money will come from, what you will cut and what you will prioritise.
WANTAM!!
NO,NO, NO Mr. so called President!!!
You don’t get to talk about threats when your administration has spent the last few years becoming the biggest threat to ordinary Kenyans. And this habit of calling everyone who disagrees with you “anti-development” has to stop. Kenyans have every right to question you. That’s not being against progress. That’s holding the people in power accountable.
You keep asking Kenyans to rally behind your government. For what exactly? To celebrate more taxes? More borrowing? More broken promises? Support is earned, Mr. President. It isn’t demanded. So please stop with this nonsense of blaming the opposition every time things aren’t working. You asked Kenyans to trust you with the country. The least you can do is take responsibility for what has happened under your watch.
The opposition is not responsible for the state of our economy. You are. You’ve been in charge. If businesses are struggling, if taxes have become unbearable, if millions of Kenyans are working harder than ever but getting nowhere, that’s YOUR RECORD, not theirs.
WANTAM!!
This guy conned his church members over 200Million Kenyatta shillings, sold the church and went silent for a while. Now he's vying in Kikuyu. 2022 he used to move around in. G wagon alafu anapea wamama lesos pekee. Don't let DCP wave give you shitty leaders
It is now official that goons work in hand woth police. Not even hiding. 💔💔💔😭😭😭. They work together, eat together, sleep together and walk together. In short police are goons and goons are Police 💔💔💔😭😭. We have painfully lost this country 💔💔💔
Kenyan police have fired tear gas and used water cannon on Nanyuki protesters for a second week over a US-only Ebola quarantine facility at a nearby military base. Rights groups report at least one person killed as construction continues.
Al Jazeera’s Malcolm Webb reports.
Massive solidarity to the people in Laikipia fighting necolonialism right now. The people have rejected the quarantine facilities. Kenyan police are enemies of the people. #RutoMustGo
