Just spoke with a friend in Nepal and the situation is uncertain, but one truth is clear, no state built on corruption, extraction, and exclusion can last. From Kenya to Bangladesh, Nigeria to Nepal, young people everywhere are rejecting authoritarian excess. They know better is

In Kenya, there is a terrible government budgeting problem, mainly that of budgeted corruption, demonstrable by the huge percentage of money that goes to recurrent expenditure and that which goes to development. Compare Nairobi County 2025/26 budget of Kshs 45.4 billion with Ksh

The Prime Minister of Japan while presiding over a $4.2 Trillion economy, can't make financial donations to politicians or supporters. In March this year, the Japanese PM almost resigned for gifting new lawmakers $676 each. In Kenya, whose economy is less than 1% that of Japan

Why is this government so obsessed with destroying our environment? From the failed attempt to carve out Ngong Forest for an Eco-Lodge, to tree felling and backdoor restructuring in Karura, and now the outrageous plan to grab 50 hectares of Mount Kenya Forest in Meru for an

Today, I joined the Meru Press Club Anti-SGBV & Mental Health Run at Meru University and proudly completed the 10km run. This was more than a race. It was a call to action. With Meru recording higher SGBV cases than the national average, leadership at both national and county

The continuing genocide in Palestine is a certain proof that the existing world order isn't meant for justice, rule of law, and human rights! It's meant to perpetuate domination and imperialism. Otherwise, how do we carry on casually while every day, people in Palestine wake up

All major problems in Kenya now are a direct result of bad leadership. The struggles in education, health, economy, and other key sectors are due to leadership that is characterised by greed, impunity and corruption, among other ills. We have the chance to change this in 2027, if

I love this farewell message in honour of Raila Odinga. Spot on x.com/ntvkenya/statu…

As we mark this Mashujaa Day, let’s draw strength from the truth of our history. When Dedan Kimathi led the Mau Mau to the forest in 1952, he was just 32. His deputy, General Baimungi M’Marete of Katheri, Meru, was 28. General Mwariama M’Kirigwa of Muthara, Meru, was only 24.

I have witnessed firsthand the pain, suffering, and displacement that arise when political systems and social structures fail their people. These failures are born of exclusion and from exclusion grows inequality, repression, and ultimately, instability. What we see today in

I today visited the 16 young people arrested today in Kianjai, Meru at Ngundune Police Station. These were among the hundreds of Tiktokers and other youth who were agitating for justice for the 15 year old girl who was severely scalded/burnt by a local businessman in Meru

Campaign financing is where we lose it. We feel entitled to Mheshimiwa’s money. Its either you develop a culture of funding your own candidates or shut up when men and women are recovering whatever they spent to feed you.

To the Chairman, Independent Electoral and Bounderies Commission - IEBC, Mr. Erastus Edung Ethekon, please tame your Vice Chairperson Fahima Araphat Abdallah. Do not attempt to meddle with the elections. Kenya is not your ordinary 3rd World Country to rig elections.

Thank you, the people of Mbeere North, for your unwavering support to the United Opposition. Coming second with 15,308 votes against the regime’s 15,802 is a powerful statement of resistance and momentum. Let us remember in 2022, Ruku now Cabinet Secretary and openly campaigning

Since I was first elected for public office, as Chairman of SONU'92, I've been on the ballot in every general election, that is 6 times. I've lost 4 of those, but always been the first, nationally, to concede defeat even in controversial results. It's a matter of public knowledge

Meru is now grappling with three reported rape cases, yet only one, the incident from 1 December has led to arrests. The viral gang-rape case, whose horrifying video circulated online, still has zero arrests. The third case is even more alarming. Evidence in my possession

A government that does this to its own people should be resisted and removed by ALL MEANS possible!

Thanks to the voices of Meru TikTokers, I was today deeply moved by the heartbreaking story of Mwiti, a 9-year-old child from Mwangathia Ward in Central Imenti. For seven years, Mwiti has lived confined in a cage, abandoned at birth, taken in by elderly grandparents living in
