I talk often about the two realities unfolding simultaneously in Kenya. The first one is the experience of 97% of Kenyans. The Contributors. Those who contribute taxes, sweat, tears, and, sometimes, blood. They get almost nothing in return. Their interaction with government is primarily when paying taxes, and, when they are being shaken down by the same government for bribes for basic services such as a passport. Then there is the 3%. Those in and around government. The Consumers. The income the country produces is not enough to care for their tastes, and their chosen lifestyles. So, they spend twice the national income each year. Not to serve Kenyans. To ensure that there is enough money on the table to be stolen, and, wasted on stupid endeavours that benefit those in government. Look at the first picture. 50% of the national revenue goes to 2% of Kenyans in salaries at the national level. Salaries alone. To 2% of Kenyans. At the county level, 47% of the entire budget of 47 counties goes to salaries of the 1% of the county population in government. In salaries alone. It’s economic apartheid. The insane and wasteful spending on trips you see all the time, is in the remaining 50%. And, we have not spoken about the KSH 800 billion stolen each year. Today, the entire political class is New York. Posting selfies for us. So that we can see how good they have it. On our dime. Can you tell from their selfies that they ‘represent’ a country that is KSH 13.5 trillion in debt? A country spending 84% of every single shilling on debt service? A country that is spending 12 shillings on debt service for each 1 shilling it spends on healthcare? A country that is spending 3 shillings on debt service for each 1 it spends on education? Can you tell that? Ours is a banana republic- through and through.

Africa still has no permanent seat on the Security Council. A 21st century Security Council without permanent African representation is unjust & indefensible. We must reform the Council so that it reflects today’s world with the legitimacy and effectiveness that today’s challenges demand.

At 82, Uganda President Yoweri Museveni says his next 18 years will be devoted to African integration. Question then is whether he wants to do those 18 years as president or puppet-master as “retired” statesman. monitor.co.ug/uganda/news/na…

Today, I want to share a personal view that I have been reflecting on for the past few weeks, regarding the structure of the emerging opposition coalition. As the opposition builds a broad and inclusive coalition around the WANTAM movement, it must design a framework that encourages more political parties to join without creating a structure so heavy, that it complicates decision-making and weakens political agility. Every party in the opposition has earned the legitimate right to participate in shaping the emerging coalition. That participation should be institutionalised through a broad Coalition Parties Council, bringing together the leaders of all constituent parties. This council should be as inclusive and diverse as the opposition itself. But inclusion does not mean that every party leader must automatically become a principal. The coalition’s top decision-making organ must remain lean, strategic and capable of responding quickly to political developments. Its membership should be based not merely on ownership of a political party, but on demonstrable national influence and a solid regional support base. On that basis, I believe the principal-level leadership of the emerging coalition should comprise EDWIN SIFUNA, RIGATHI GACHAGUA, KALONZO MUSYOKA AND FRED MATIANG’I. Each commands a significant political constituency and brings to the table the electoral weight necessary to shape a viable national coalition. Even within the United Nations system, all member states participate through the General Assembly, but matters requiring urgent and focused action are entrusted to the much leaner 15-Member Security Council. The underlying principle is simple: broad participation provides legitimacy, while a smaller executive structure provides agility. A successful coalition must achieve both. It must be inclusive enough to accommodate every genuine partner, but disciplined enough to make timely decisions and provide clear political direction. Therefore, the opposition does not need an endless table of principals. It needs an inclusive coalition supported by a lean, credible and effective centre of leadership.
