With their respective support bases, we are reminded that Kenya is one nation. We must all learn to belong, to share, and to move forward together as a country. While some of these leaders have elevated their communities in different ways, they have also demonstrated the ability to coexist and exercise restraint. I will not judge how each has played their politics.
However, the arrangement above must now rise beyond individual positions and urgently come together to get the country back on track. Houses do not sprout—they are built. Likewise, policies such as the borrowing with housing levy should not be imposed abruptly. Sustainable progress comes from gradual, deliberate effort. We cannot continue borrowing beyond what we can realistically generate within a year.
Be that as it may, these are pressing national challenges that this team must confront. That is why nearly 74% of Kenyans have consistently remained in opposition since 2024. The President had a unique opportunity to put everything in order, but three years on, that opportunity appears squandered, and opposition against him has only grown stronger.
An urgent convention of the opposition is necessary—to unite this 74% into one coherent national voice. Kenyans understand what they need: a calm, steady hand capable of steering the country away from excessive debt.
The opposition must make a singular, clear promise—to wean Kenya off debt and institute firm safeguards so that no future administration borrows beyond 5% of the total cost of any fiscal policy program. We must leave this country better than we found it.
The opposition does not need an elaborate manifesto beyond a few critical commitments: repaying debt, ensuring government efficiency, providing free education to the University, delivering free universal healthcare, supporting agriculture to guarantee affordable food, and maintaining roads. Beyond this, long-term development should focus on efficient new rail systems and affordable energy for production. All other ambitions should be suspended until the country stabilizes.
Kenya must reinvent itself by upgrading its systems at every level. Corruption is choking the nation, and it must be confronted with unwavering resolve.
The team must give the Country a solid vehicle, the Azimio Vehicle is all here for rebrand and a reorganisation to save the Country. It must form to accommodate other newer party’s and draw a line on how to get Kenya Moving. It must accommodate Komboa Kenya, Skiza Wakenya and Linda Mwananchi, Those brands sell to 74% of Kenya.
The work is cut out, lets go.
