@EdwinSifuna's argument is different.
- A President isn't supposed to know everything...
- That is why a Republic has Cabinet Secretaries.
- Principal Secretaries.
- Engineers.
- Economists.
- Doctors.
- Teachers.
- Civil servants.
- Parliament.
- Courts.
- Independent institutions.
The Country should not depend on the genius of one man.
- It should depend on institutions that work.
📍And that leads to perhaps the most interesting argument I have heard him make.
- ✓ No President takes an oath to build a road.
- ✓ Or a market.
- ✓ Or a stadium.
The Presidential oath is to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.
- That doesn't mean roads don't matter.
- It means something much bigger.
𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 G𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬.
- Hospitals should work because the health system works.
- Children should learn because the education system works.
- Opportunities should exist because the economy works.
- Citizens should not require Presidential benevolence to receive ordinary Government.
📍And perhaps this is where Sifuna becomes more interesting to me than simply another opposition candidate.
- He may be beginning to articulate a different idea of the Presidency itself.
Less 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫.
More 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜.
But there is still a very long road between political possibility and State House.
- Sifuna must build an organization.
- He must withstand money.
- He must survive success.
- He must prevent yesterday's political opportunists from capturing tomorrow's movement.
And most importantly, he must turn something incredibly fragile—affection—into machinery.
- ✓ Likability must become identification.
- ✓ Identification must become organisation.
- Organisation must become registration.
- Registration must become turnout.
- And turnout must become protected votes.
That is the test.
- I sometimes think about those two conversations I had in 2022.
- Perhaps my sibling and my friend were right to dismiss me.
- Because if either of them had asked me exactly what I saw in Edwin Sifuna then, I'm not sure I could have explained it.
- I can now.
- I wasn't looking at a finished politician.
- I wasn't even looking at a Presidential candidate.
I think I was watching political gravity beginning to form.
📍Four years later, things are beginning to fall towards it.
- And I am still watching.
Sometimes someone may seem intelligent till they open their mouth
When you come to a Linda Mwananchi Movement HQ launch and state that our presidential candidate is not a presidential candidate but just a party leader, what do you expect Sifunas to do?
When you come to a home and tell the children that their father is not their father, do you expect them to clap?
Riggy G never had any issues with Sifunas because he has the political intelligence to read the room.

We pay taxes through the nose because we are ENTITLED to a functioning country. The government OWES us a functioning country!
You wouldn't know this because excessive consumption of chapatis has fucked up your clarity of thought.

A lot of people hear “1 billion ah ok” and don’t understand HOW MUCH that is.
[ACTION ASK below]
🇰🇪 KSh 1 BILLION for a football friendly could fund:
💰 500,000 cash payments of KSh 2,000 to vulnerable Kenyans
🏥 One year of stipends for 16,666 community health promoters
Meanwhile, 39.8% of Kenyans live in poverty- over 20 MILLION people.
Nurses and teachers are fighting for better pay, yet Kenya is reportedly considering spending up to KSh 1 BILLION on Bayern Munich vs Ajax.
Who benefits more: struggling Kenyan families or a 90-minute football spectacle?
Kenya 🇰🇪 Today two more accounts who can be addressed for impact.
One is a journalist with close ties to Bayern: @mano_bonke & the other @iMiaSanMia shares the amount the corrupt government cartel pays for sports washing their image to @FCBayern @FCBayernEN @FCBayernDE

You cannot demand mutual respect while using words like psychopathy and mediocrity against a fellow leader. Respect is reciprocal, and leadership starts with how you treat those you disagree with bwana Wakili

Hon. Kalonzo and his handlers MUST do a better job of organizing his speeches. Today he has completely misread the room with his unsolicited advice. @edwinsifuna is a seasoned lawyer and former Secretary General of one of the biggest parties in Kenya. He knows the process of being nominated as presidential candidate.
Kalonzo should have spent his time building synergy and preaching opposition unity. Instead, he ended up inviting his own embarrassment and was eventually booed off the stage by an irritated crowd. My friend wakili @NjiruAdv please do a better job advising @skmusyoka on how to read the room and to deliver speeches that build synergy!
Learn from Riggy G.

Talanta Stadium was budgeted at KSh 35 billion, but we ended up paying KSh 45.85 billion. That is an additional KSh 10.85 billion that was likely pocketed by Ruto and his friends.
A similar 60,000-seater stadium in Ivory Coast the Olympic Stadium of Ebimpé, which hosted the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations cost only KSh 33 billion.
Last month, Harambee Stars players went on strike over unpaid allowances of approximately KSh 80,000 per player.
Yet Mr Ruto is ready to pay Bayern Munich and Ajax between KSh 250–300 million each in appearance fees just to come and officially open Talanta Stadium. That figure does not even include air travel, accommodation, security, and other related expenses.
Ruto wants to pay foreign teams to play at our stadium while inviting our own football stars and aspiring players to sit as spectators.
There is zero value for Kenya in bringing wazungu teams to open our stadium. If they want to play here, they should sponsor themselves not at the expense of a country that cannot pay its teachers and doctors.
If we must invite foreign teams, then in the spirit of Pan-Africanism, why not invite the Africa Cup of Nations champions Senegal, or our neighbours from the East African Community?
We should ask their governments to honour us by sending and covering the cost of their national teams to come play at the opening of an expensive stadium that was never even a priority.
Better still, why not organise a week-long football tournament for young footballers from every county, with prize money of KSh 5 million or more?
Talanta Stadium is ours. We will not allow our taxes to pay for foreign teams.
I have instructed my lawyer to file a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to obtain the full cost of this proposed exhibition match. I refuse the wastage of taxpayers’ money, and I shall move to court if Ruto does not stop this hallucination.
We must invest in our own footballers. Talanta Stadium official opening match should be an opportunity for Kenyan players to shine not a stage to entertain Ruto’s fantasies of hosting
Bayern Munich and Ajax Amsterdam.
Football fans worldwide should also know this: since William Ruto took office in September 2022 through September 2026, police officers have killed 3,958 Kenyans. That averages nearly three Kenyans killed every day by the brutal police force working under Ruto’s regime.
These two teams should decline any invitation to do public relations for a government that kills its own citizens simply for demanding better governance.
Tumekataa.

Learned Kenyans are not swayed by bread and circuses, we need law and order, an end to dictatorship and accountability for our money.
