If Ebola is considered too dangerous for Americans, why should Kenyans accept that risk? Why is Ruto making decisions that affect the health and safety of millions of Kenyans as if he’s running his own Sugoi farm? Major decisions must follow due process, involve public participation, and be subjected to parliamentary oversight. Wenye nchi must never be treated as an afterthought in decisions that directly affect their lives. SpiceFM

Madaraka was never just about lowering one flag and raising another. It has become an opportunity to reflect on whether we are living up to the promise of the Kenya our forebears fought for. Reflecting on Kenya then and Kenya now, I am reminded that while much has changed, our responsibility remains the same: to keep striving for a country that offers dignity, opportunity, and justice for all. The work of building a just, prosperous, and dignified Kenya did not end in 1963. It remains the responsibility of every generation. #MadarakaDay

In yesterday’s hearing for Dr. Kizza Besigye, the prosecution arrived nearly two hours late, yet again causing delays in a case that has seen nothing but prosecution-driven delays from the start. Dr. Kizza and his co-accused were already in the dock waiting. The defense asked the court to dismiss the application given the prosecutor's absence, but another date was given instead. The prosecution has failed to meet its own disclosure deadlines and is now asking the court to hide the identities of six key witnesses from the defence. Why delay the course of justice? We will keep asking that question, in that courtroom, outside it and everywhere it needs to be heard. #FreeKizza

I stand with fellow regional leaders to decry violations that include brutal assaults, the humiliation of women political actors, and the use of sexual violence as a tool of political intimidation. What is happening in Uganda is not an internal matter; it is a regional and continental emergency that demands urgent action. For every suppressed voice, more emerge. These acts are atrocious and reprehensible, but they will not prevail.

Why would police use teargas and ammunition to disperse mourners ?

From Kampala straight to Kisii county where the people are known for their resilience and fierce spirit. Today they reminded us all exactly why. Together with the United Opposition, we brought one message and you echoed it with us, WANTAM! We see you and we are ready. Chukua kura! Kenya ni yetu! #Wantam #MarthaKarua2027 #UnitedOpposition #GusiiHasSpoken

Yesterday in Kirinyaga, while mourning my dear friend Mwalimu Karaba, I spoke about the Kenya he served, and the Kenya we must demand. Walisema, wametenda kweli? Wheelbarrows to power. Billions to luxury. Hospitals without medicine. Ksh6.3 billion in private accounts. Punda amechoka! When Ruto put that Bible down on inauguration day, ndipo akaweka chini ahadi zake kwa Wakenya. Kenya needs leaders who serve wenye nchi, not wenye vyeo. Thieves must be jailed! Wantam from the county to statehouse, we did it with Kanu in 2002, we can do it again when wenye inchi unite! #UniteLiberate

Today we gathered in Kilimani to memorialize a man's legacy on Galana road. It was a gathering of friends who walked with him through decades of struggle, fellow human rights defenders who stood beside him in courtrooms and in conscience, and his beloved widow Viloo, whose quiet strength and partnership made so much of his work possible. Pheroze Nowrojee was a Senior Counsel, poet, defender of the Constitution, and a dear friend. When the Moi government was arresting, detaining, and torturing protestors in the 1980s and 1990s, Pheroze walked into those courtrooms and stood beside political detainees, activists, journalists, and opposition leaders that no one else would touch, among them Koigi wa Wamwere and Raila Odinga, whose detentions without trial were a grim hallmark of that era. He challenged the constitutionality of sedition laws, he questioned detention without trial, and through his collective efforts with a generation of fearless lawyers, we laid much of the legal groundwork for Kenya's eventual return to multiparty democracy. The democracy we enjoy today has his fingerprints on it. He spent his life standing for justice when it was costly, defending the rule of law when it was inconvenient, and doing it all with a quiet brilliance and humanity that left everyone who encountered him changed. Today, his name is beyond the courtrooms and constitutions; it is on a road. Pheroze was more than a legal giant, he was my mentor, a guide, and a friend. I carry his teachings with me as we continue to strive for the Kenya he believed in and gave his life to build. Asante, Pheroze. Nairobi will carry your name forward.
