Wananchi will not shoot or teargas each other. They do not have guns and rungus. And so, I plead with the authorities, please exercise restraint. Serve and protect. Today is a delicate day. #June25

If the charges against The People’s President and my fellow #Time100Next honorary Agather Atuhaire had basis, then why the violence and secrecy? Why arrest, torture, and deport them in the dark? What is it about power that it attacks advocacy, witness and truth? TIME #VIP

A rare moment of being asked to have a word with Her Excellency, Madam Ellen Johnson Sirleaf - former President of Liberia and first democratically elected female President in Africa! Her presence? Wow, I’m speechless. Let me just catch my breath 😮‍💨 #VIP

You will never convince our generation that you can ever be trusted, ever again. When young people marched patriotically, wearing Kenyan flags on their backs and raising their voices, you responded with bullets and death. And NOW you have supposedly ‘heard’ and want dialogue? For 20 months you have been speaking, it’s our time now. No more commissions of enquiry, no more multisectoral taskforces, no more reports, no more diverting our attention. If you have heard us, then no more talking—just act. We want to wake up in the morning with budget allocations reworked, with the Appropriations Bill overhauled, your MPs sacked, your Cabinet Secretaries sacked, the wheels of Constitutional amendments to begin turning, and your resignation on Gen-Z's desk for them to decide whether to accept. This will go down in history, and we are no longer in an era where history can be manipulated. #RutoMustGo

I felt compelled to visit Utumishi Girls Academy in Gilgil. The grief is heavy. The pain is visible. No parent should have to bury their child because safety systems failed them. #VIP

A morning drive across town and this is what the streets look like. The public have been told that today is a normal working day. that kids should go to school. That businesses should open. That transport will run. And yet every street is littered with riot police, APC vehicles, armed personnel, and no public transport in sight. Why encourage Kenyans to leave their homes and ‘act normal’ when there’s intimidation on every street corner? #June25

At the #EndFemicide march, I met many distraught mothers. This is Joyce Nduta. 48 days ago, on 15 April at 5pm, her 5-year-old autistic son, Luther Mwangi, went missing while playing at their home in Dandora Phase 4. She reported this to the police, but for close to 2 months now, they have had no answers for her. Strangely, there was a poster going around on social media saying he had been found, but I can confirm from his mother that Luther is still missing. Please amplify this message to help find Luther.

People often ask me how I write my speeches as a visually impaired person. The truth? It’s a mix of creativity and a deep belief in the power of words. I may not see the page, but I see the impact. Here’s how I do it.

Senator Godfrey Osotsi was violently attacked while in Kisumu and is now hospitalized. No one should live with a target on their back simply for who they are or what they stand for. I condemn in the strongest terms possible this premeditated assault and urge the authorities to move swiftly, holding those responsible fully accountable. We must stand united against brutality and protect the safety of all leaders and citizens. #VIP

Own It. Earn It. 123 countries at the UN have just taken a vote to recognise the transatlantic slave trade as one of the gravest crimes against humanity. Yet, much of Europe abstained. The Africa–Europe relationship must evolve from avoidance to acknowledgement. Africa does not want charity — it wants fairness. Trust can only be rebuilt through owning, not abstaining, and the future depends on confronting the past. #VIP

My view is that Members of Parliament are meant to legislate, not implement. The Constituency Development Fund (CDF) has diverted a large number of MPs from these fundamental duties by shifting their focus to constructing roads, hospitals, and other development projects which are used to try and win over voters. The original CDF Act was declared unconstitutional in 2015 for breaching the separation of powers, leading to the revised NG-CDF Act. However, debates continue on whether MPs should be handling these funds at all. The 2022 High Court ruling further questioned the legitimacy of MPs managing these funds, so we await the Supreme Court ruling on the NG-CDF Act this afternoon. Shouldn’t we be moving away from CDF and instead channelling those funds to systemic solutions like free education for all that would eliminate the need for temporary bursaries and provide lasting benefits for every Kenyan child?

Civil unrest is a result of societal truths that are addressed too late, or not at all. And the youth have spoken the truth, that “this is not a Cabinet, it is a closet”. #NaneNane

Mr. President William Samoei Ruto, PhD, allow me to reemphasise one such idea - the Persons With Disabilities Act 2025. It has been law for almost a year and is yet to be operationalised. Delayed formulation of regulations means people with disabilities, their parents, and caregivers are yet to benefit from this Act. Despite countless efforts, no one is sharing clear information, political goodwill seems to be lost, and this low-hanging fruit continues to rot. Sisi ni walemavu lakini kura zetu hazina ulemavu. #VIP
