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!!

Kenyans shouldn't begrudge Sen Sifuna for his meteoric political rise. We should instead celebrate it. It's always a good thing when a young man gets a break in politics or any career for that matter and thrust himself into the national limelight. Remember, Sifuna hasn't elbowed anyone. He simply claimed a space that was empty since Hon. Kijana Wamalwa died two decades ago. For too long, Western was bereft of a political heavyweight that sat at the national table as of right. Sifuna seems to be the new kid on the block. And to be fair to the young man, his appeal goes beyond Luhya land.

NO ONE should be killed for tweeting on X NO ONE should be killed for posting on Facebook NO ONE should be killed for sharing a video NO ONE should be tortured for speaking truth From Kenya to South Africa, Uganda to Nigeria, India etc NO ONE ​Criticism is NOT a crime

@MariahKiny98583 Waaaaargh...pipo are woke!

We the voiceless all feel this way...but tuko Kadi we will vote wisely and this time it's not about the tribe we want leaders not rogue leaders

@AnuarSaddat "Will I be safe?" Albert already knew...he was being lead to the guillotine!!! May ALL those involved in this tragedy...never, ever REST!

One of the final last calls of Albert Ojwang, wondering if he will be safe at the police station. His friend on the other end, not knowing that the DIG Lagat had planned on killing Albert, assured him he will be safe. Few hours later, the young teacher was killed on what is now emerging to be premeditated murder of the only son of his parents, from Homabay.

@wmnjoya Ditto! Pathways are EVIL!!! Children's lives and destinies are being sacrificed in this evil alter...

Now, Kenyans, this obsession with KCSE is what I was trying to explain is the problem with Kenyan education when we were swooning over CBC. In my post, I talked of KCSE very specifically, and people assumed that I'm saying language doesnt matter in law. No. I was saying that KCSE should not be the only certification that matters. Right now, if I scored a C in English, even if I was to go and train as an English teacher in England, return here, and apply to be a teacher in TSC and or to join the legal profession, and maybe I'm even 35 years old, so I've been working with English for at least 17 years since high school, some of those years in England itself, I would not be allowed to do law or high school teaching, on the basis of my KCSE language grades. I know someone who speaks Kiswahili very well. But she got a C in Kiswahili. She did B.Ed in Kiswahili, and TSC refused to employ her on the basis of her KCSE grade. She went to Tanzania, U of Dar no less, did a masters in Kiswahili. TSC still refused. They told her her only hope was to become a primary school teacher. Right now, you people oohed and aaahed about music being taught in CBC. Do you know that we don't have enough music teachers? After music was removed as a compulsory subject in KCSE, very few students did Music up to form 4. Meaning that today, many people doing Music in university are doing so on certificates in Music from universities or ABRSM. They can be doing private teaching at the conservertoire, touring the world because of their music, but TSC will NOT employ them, because they didn't do music in KCSE. And there's a shortage of Music teachers. So, when you people were shouting with @KICDKenya that the problem with 8.4.4 was exam obsession, I told you no. The problem is our institutions. 1) our institutions obsess with holding people to their grades when they were 17 years old, sometimes even 30 years after high school. I know of a PhD holder who was not employed as a lecturer because of his A level grade. In 2012, thereforeabouts. The man had even published post-PhD, was over 40 years old, but no. 2) what we need is the recognition of work/lived experience. But again, your precious Fred Matiangi even wanted to CANCEL degrees earned by people who entered university doing diplomas. Yet the top professors of the 70s, the ones we still quote today, started as S1 teachers. Ali Mazrui was one of them. I said the solution to exam obsession was to ease the pressure of certification, but almost all Kenyans joined the bandwagon of saying the problem is the curriculum. And now, let me just remind you, CBC is worse that KCSE on that count alone. Children will be blocked from entering professions based on their pathways, not just their results. The real problem of Kenya is our class snobbery. We think that people must follow a certain path, and must be punished for ever and ever for the grades they scored when they were 17. And then you self-righteously wonder why students burn dorms when mock exams are round the corner. We are not British aristocrats. WE ARE NOT BRITISH ARISTOCRATS. We need to stop with this class, snobbery, pedigree nonsense in the work space. It is encouraging mediocrity, corruption and most of all, exclusion of people who would otherwise be gainfully employed. And ban the CBC pathways. Pathways are evil. #GatekeepingKE #CBCisheretostay

If the rest of Kenya can learn anything from Ol Kalou, perhaps it is the centrality of women in the struggle for change. Without women taking a central role in pushing for change, nothing will happen. You can’t win without women.

What a talent. Hats off to this guy...amazing at the same time the message is a sad one. Please us follow his Tik Tok channel and support him......vt.tiktok.com/ZSXydGYA4/

Dear Government bloggers, Where exactly are you today? Ama you’re doubling up as goons? Really waiting for your posts on Ol Kalou. May this be a reminder that THE PEOPLE SHALL!! WANTAM🚶🏿‍♀️🚶🏿‍♀️

Goons are dangerous people, but good Kenyans are the majority, and we cannot allow the country to slide back into anarchy simply because police and government are now working with hired thugs, so Kenyans must take charge and deal with the less than one percent behaving as though they own the country. We cant be crying every day like helpless kids

I agree with Chege Majuice tomorrow by election will be the most consequential decision and signal as we heard to election. Olkalou people must not vote yellow 🟡.

🚨BREAKING: IEBC has entered into official gaslighting mode. ​According to IEBC Commissioner Ann Nderitu, distributing government mattresses, gas cylinders, and "goodies" in Ol Kalou days before a by-election isn't automatically "bribery." ​This is the peak of intellectual dishonesty. ​Are we to believe that after 4 years of policy amnesia, the state suddenly had a nocturnal epiphany to combat Nyandarua's cold exactly 72 hours before a vote? This isn’t philanthropy; it’s a transaction. It is state-sanctioned voter manipulation masquerading as "development." ​George Orwell warned us about this in Animal Farm: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." The IEBC has officially entered the business of rewriting the rules of the game mid-play to cover up for the rule-breakers. ​To say this isn't bribery is like a police officer catching a thief with their hand in your pocket and telling you, "Relax, he’s just keeping your wallet warm." ​If the referee is already gaslighting the voters before the first whistle, how can we trust them to count the score? ​IEBC, stop insulting our intelligence. If you cannot defend electoral integrity, stop pretending to be impartial.

Any party which wants to offer political change must have this agenda on their manifesto: Retraining the civil service out of its colonial master-slave mentality. Until that is sorted, Kenya government will continue punishing Kenyans for having skills and will constantly block Kenyans from building the country with their brains and muscles. Our civil servants and politicians believe what their British godfathers teach them, which is that work is demeaning and that economic growth comes from policy and handouts. They don't want us to work. Jaramogi Oginga Odinga started that project of retraining civil servants with the Lumumba Institute. Pio Gama Pinto was assassinated to stop it, and Jaramogi was thrown into the political freezer for imagining it. Together with Bildad Kaggia. CORD put this issue in their manifesto in 2013. We must revive that agenda. We have 1 million people in the civil service and another almost 2000 people in the legislature who are parasitic. They are a threat to the health of the Kenyan body politic.

Remember this young woman from Taita Taveta? Who went viral for introducing herself the Sifuna Way? Her name is Josephine and she has crafted a new introduction for our 6th for our Taita Taveta rally happening this Saturday the 18th of July 2026. #SisiNdioSifuna #LindaMwananchi

A beautiful cultural exchange as Baylor University choir students from Texas sing timeless Kenyan gospel classics during their recent mission in Kenya.

"Wantam is not your personal initiative; it's the voice of the people." A number of Kenyan youths have come out to call out former DP Rigathi Gachagua for trying to gatekeep the Wantam movement, saying it is a national initiative and not his own!
