Ruto is helping Tanzania and Uganda track and abduct political activists and opposition leaders who fled their countries to escape political persecution and are living legally in Kenya. Besigye is in jail because of him. Ruto is a danger to anyone who speaks truth to power.

The Kenyan government has shadow-banned my social media accounts because I am running against Ruto. I have a following of about 3.5 million across all my platforms, but the Communications Authority of Kenya and the National intelligence Service have found ways to block my posts from reaching my followers. If I were not a threat, they would not have bothered. Kenyans who speak out on important national issues are facing similar bans. The Ruto regime has suppressed the hashtag Ruto Must Go. You rarely see posts with #RutoMustGo. Even the politicians who pay bloggers to post their every move are not using that hashtag. They know the algorithm will suppress it. The 2027 election will be decided by the ability of candidates to reach voters directly on their phones through social media and WhatsApp. In 2024, we mobilised Kenyans in 35 counties to hold protests and reject the Finance Bill. We did that after holding only one physical planning meeting. Just one. That is why the state desperately tried to pin terrorism charges on me, and when that failed, they charged me with possession of ammunition and tear gas. That is the power of organising we the people and I as the People’s President have at the click of a button. That is the power of social media. It penetrates deeper and further among my target audience than political rallies or traditional media. A ballot revolution is only possible if we can reach Kenyans on their phones, not through a biased media or noisy rallies. The silent majority, the 7.8 million Kenyans who refused to vote in 2022 are going to vote this time, and a ballot revolution will send Ruto home. Ruto is desperately trying to pull another Cambridge Analytica-style operation, just as they did in 2017. In 2017, UhuruTo’s team paid six million dollars to Cambridge Anayltica to run misinformation ads targeting Raila Odinga as a devil worshipper, a practitioner of witchcraft, and a lord of poverty. The same man Uhuru and Ruto are now praising was character-assassinated over and over by those two. It is even possible that the two conspired to ensure he “lost” in 2022. That is why most of Raila’s inner circle are today’s Ruto praise-and-worship members. They betrayed Raila while he was alive. When the character assassinations failed, they tortured and murdered IEBC IT manager Chris Msando and used his logins to rig the election. To muddy the waters, UhuruTo’s killer squad murdered a 21-year-old medical student, Carol Ngumbu, and placed her body alongside Msando’s, trying to make it look like a sex crime rather than the theft of an election. Kenyans were not fooled. After the August 2017 presidential election was rigged, the raging bully Internal Security Minister Fred Matiang’i unleashed the police on Raila Odinga’s supporters. I was hit by a teargas canister while leading a protest demanding that the government stop killing Raila’s supporters. During that period, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights documented 94 deaths, 201 cases of sexual violence, and more than 300 injuries. They stole an election. They murdered opposition supporters. That is a past Kenyans cannot afford to overlook. As the person who blew the whistle on River Yala and saw human bodies tied in gunny bags floating and rotting in Siaya, I refuse to overlook such an inhumane and barbaric past. Do not be surprised if Ruto tries the same in 2027. Members of Parliament were bribed yesterday to pass a bill that removed the requirement for the IEBC to livestream polling-station results. Ruto is laying the foundation to steal the elections. Ruto might even go further and do exactly what Flávio Bolsonaro did in Brazil. Bolsonaro, who enjoys strong support from America’s right wing, conspired with Meta and, without any explanation, disabled President Lula’s Instagram and Facebook profiles from running ads just ten days before the Brazilian election. Lula was forced to file formal complaints in court and secure an order compelling Meta to stop restricting the reach of his content, treat both campaigns equally, and correct the algorithmic and AI biases that appeared to favour Bolsonaro. I would like to know how I can punch Ruto out of this ban and kick him out of State House. Talk to me.

In 2027, we take full responsibility for our choices. No more blaming the devil. Chukua kura! Kuna shughuli kubwa inayohitaji sauti yako na kura yako.

"Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; none but ourselves can free our minds".- Bob Marley Our generation must dare to dream and realize a better Kenya for our children, one free of tribalism, nepotism, corruption, and thuggish leaders. They deserve to inherit a better country, whose leaders serve them, not kill them.

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
— George Santayana As we mark not celebrate Mashujaa Day, because there is nothing worth celebrating, let us not forget the Kenya our forefathers fought for, bled for, were jailed for, and many died for. It was for land and freedom yet the majority still have no land, and freedom of speech exists only in theory. A simple social media post can get you abducted by the state and murdered. Our grandparents fought for a Kenya where we govern ourselves, so that every person would have access to good schools and healthcare. It was so that we could enjoy the fruits of our land and better wages. It is not yet Uhuru. That is why in 2027 we will vote for a new Kenya where the dream of our forefathers will finally be realized.

Kenya has about 10,000 active licensed doctors serving nearly 59 million people. Our doctors are stretched thin, and millions of Kenyans depend on an already strained and underfunded public health system. I will employ all available doctors willing to serve in the public health sector and expand medical training by fully funding specialization programmes. These doctors will be required to serve a stipulated number of years in public hospitals, ensuring that our investment directly benefits patients who depend on the public health system. I will pay them well so they can focus on serving Kenyans in public hospitals instead of running parallel private practices to sustain themselves.

This is a gratitude post. I’m blessed. Took this selfie while out running in London this morning. I’m truly blessed. I have everything I need in my life: good health, a family that truly loves me, and a dozen or so close friends who would go to the ends of the world for me. I don’t need anything more. I have a wife, children, many books I intend to read, places I still want to visit, and good friends. I’m not running for president because I need to gain anything beyond what I already have. I want to help every child born poor in Kenya fulfil their potential. My dream is to realise the dream of our grandparents that everyone should have land, freedom, and access to good education and the best healthcare when they need it. I was born dirt poor, yet I have lived my wildest dreams. I want that for every Kenyan. I’m living at my best potential, and I want that for all Kenyans. I’ve created so many things and projects from nothing that it still amazes me how my mind works. I follow what my heart tells me, with everything I’ve got. I don’t fear failure, and I don’t suffer from bystander syndrome waiting to see what happens before I commit to something or support someone. Neither do I follow crowds like the wildebeest in the Maasai Mara, who blindly follow each other into the jaws of crocodiles in the Mara River or drown by simply jumping without looking. Don’t be a wildebeest! I’m running for the presidency to help fix Kenya. I’m only 43, and for now I’m happily delaying some of my dreams of travel, hiking new hills, reading, and sometimes writing. Still, whether I’m running for president or simply running somewhere in London, I remain blessed. Fall in love with yourself so that you can believe in yourself. If you work on yourself, your body which is truly your home will always be comfortable, and nothing the world can say or do to you will break you. Take a pause. Count your blessings. And if you’re not yet following your dreams, go for them. Just go for it. Najipenda. Jipende.

I look forward to today’s conversation at the political Baraza in Northampton. Next Thursday, I will be at SOAS University of London. In addition, two groups of Kenyan explorers in the United Kingdom have challenged me to a six-hour hike in Kent next Saturday. During my week-long visit to the United Kingdom, I will conduct media interviews and hold meetings with my campaign’s diaspora advisors and supporters. For further details regarding additional engagements, please contact my campaign office.

At Safari 7s, young people shared their vision for Kenya. They want a Kenya where they have jobs, women are safe, healthcare is accessible, and those who break the law, no matter how powerful or rich they are, are prosecuted. A Kenya where we are all equal before the law.

Kenyan politics is a constant act of masturbation and jerking off. You have to do clownish things and behave like a clown because Kenyans expect a circus. Failure to do so means you don’t get the attention, and in the circus of Kenyan politics, you will be ignored. If you can’t pull off a circus, splash money and it works much better. You buy respectability even if you have the intellect of a toilet fly that follows a coffin to the grave. So it’s basically a game of absurdity and money. That doesn’t mean all hope is lost. That’s why some of us are in politics: to make it about issues. Those who support me and other progressive leaders give me hope. I hope that our children will inherit a better country, one where, in their time, our politics will attract the very best, who will build a nation worth living in. Finally, Kenya is basically a poor ghetto with ghetto leadership that has an insatiable greed to accumulate power and wealth. We, the few hundred thousand middle-class Kenyans who have the privilege of a decent income, can take our kids to private schools, and afford private medical cover, are so scared of losing what we have that we are willing to compromise and sell our souls to maintain our comforts. My advice is that you don’t need to be in politics loudly. Quietly support change in your ward and constituency, and help save Kenya. Do civic education so that the average voter doesn’t vote blindly for money, tribe, or political party. The 2027 election is about saving Kenya, and if we fail to do so, we can kiss change goodbye. We cannot survive another five years of what is happening today. Happy Saturday!

This is a very disturbing acquittal. The four suspects admit to raping and robbing their victims. They basically bribed or perhaps intimidated the victims and told the court they had an out-of-court settlement. The two police officers will be back on patrol to continue terrorizing citizens. This acquittal is unacceptable and an insult to the rule of law. @katibainstitute @waikwawanyoike @WMutunga

Kenya police officers want better pay, better housing, and improved working conditions. They want promotions based on merit not because someone paid a bribe or is related to a senior officer. They want politicians to stop interfering in recruitment, where letters are handed out to politicians to distribute or sell. They want therapy for the trauma they face in the line of duty. They want to stop living in tin-roof shacks. They want Mr. Ruto to stop sending them to abduct and kill children. They want to stop being forced to work with goons to harm Kenyans who do not support Mr. Ruto, lawbreaker number one. Giving police officers new uniforms instead of implementing proper reforms is just Ruto applying lipstick on a corpse. It’s also foolish to use your daughter to steal, because when the time comes, your whole family will end up in jail and there will be no one left to visit you. It’s only a matter of time. What’s more sickening is that you expect the same police officers you’re exploiting stealing billions under the pretext of new uniforms while refusing to pay their overtime to protect you and your family.

The person who wanted George Muchai dead is known. Muchai was armed, as were the police bodyguards protecting him. One gunman killed four men, three of whom were armed. It was an assassination. This conviction of some random thugs is further proof that Kenya is a mafia state.
