What you need to know:
- The people should refuse to be herded into voting blocs for the politicians’ greed at the expense of service delivery.
- Hypocrisy, pretences and hopelessness among citizens are some of the main problems bedevilling the country today.
Strategy • President William Ruto has just changed his political tactics, “giving a break to his sunroof escapades and now inviting mammoth delegations to State House”, remarks Taabu Tele. “The late President Daniel arap Moi must be smiling from yonder at his prodigy, albeit in denial, for reviving his hitherto mobilisation juggernaut, YK92, replete with its Tutam slogan.” His contact is [email protected].

Delegates • As the 2027General Election approaches, many people will be selected to accompany their leaders on visits to State House, or DP Kithure Kindiki’s Karen residence, says Githuku Mungai. “I’ve been wondering how the delegates are picked, as nobody has ever approached me when the delegations from Kiambu County prepare to make such visits.” His contact is [email protected].

Services • The people should refuse to be herded into voting blocs for the politicians’ greed at the expense of service delivery, says Carol Maina. “In Nairobi City County, hospitals are congested, and streets neglected and dirty streets yet after the MCAs went to State House things have gone quiet. We should effect the recalling of representatives who can’t perform.” Her contact is [email protected].

Prosperity • Hypocrisy, pretences and hopelessness among citizens are some of the main problems bedevilling the country today, says Joseph Macharia. “Others are lies, impunity, and the rampant abuse of powers by the top leaders. When everyone begins thinking about what they can do for this country, will the real journey to recovery and prosperity!” His email address is [email protected].

Performance • Keenly following the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, Jotham Ndung’u is beaming with patriotism as Kenyan athletes shine. He’s happy about the excellent show on the global stage. Says he: “Coming so soon after national soccer team Harambee Stars’ good show in the Chan tournament, I hope they sweep more medals and break world records.” His contact is [email protected].
Have an impressive day, won’t you!
