Fellow tribesmen, insult us all you want but we SHALL NOT hate on our fellow Kenyans simply because they are of a different tribe. No thank you. We are past negative ethnicity.

I love the game of persuasion. It's beautiful to see me buying into someone's idea that I fiercely opposed in the beginning and vice versa due to persuasion. That's one beautiful human nature! Persuasion.

We had a focused discussion with our Mwongozo Mpya Party Nyandarua County delegates on the pressing issues in the County and how to include them in our 'Sote Pamoja' manifesto. The issues range from Agriculture: market, products and food production; to infrastructural development; to children and youth education; to drug and substances abuse; to water and energy; to mental health and many more. It is deeply inspiring to see a people who live on hand-to-mouth daily earnings still committed to speaking to issues in the hope that they can be addressed. As a party, we are not only listening, but we are actually forming necessary structures to ensure once we form government, we shall with genuine concerns address all the issues raised by our people. We shall continue to listen and engage. Mwongozo Mpya, Sote Pamoja.

Wisdom is being able to receive new information and making a choice out of that, rather than bashing anything and everything that doesn't look like what your mind has preconceived. Mwongozo Mpya, Sote Pamoja.

I refuse to follow things blindly for fear of railroading. I will continue to state facts even if it means remaining alone on that path. So many people support causes they don't understand just because "other people are doing the same." We must be raised right to stand with and stomach hard facts. Sote Pamoja.

Watu wa huo mrengo ingine mko emotional sana. Mtu anasema point na mnafeel attacked mnaanza kutukana. Kwani hamfunzwi decorum? Ideological clarity means persuasion, not insults. We have a long way to go.

Ukweli ni mwamba tunahitaji mtu ako na experience in building structures and institutions na mwenye anawezathink deeply about issues of economy, health, education, agriculture, industrialization, energy etc while upholding the constitution. It behoves us to get a person of that kind of standard. Ruto has failed. We must get a performer. Do not be deluded by slogans, we've heard them before. We don't need another legacy politician lest we keep crying forever. Open your eyes.

Over 700,000 public university students are caught in the middle of a dispute they did not create. Since the nationwide university staff strike began on 2 October, their education has been disrupted, their plans put on hold, and their future left uncertain. Our students deserve more than silence. They deserve urgent action and a lasting solution. #HigherEducationKE #ComradesMatters #LecturersStrike #KenyanStudents

Politicians keep regrouping to do exactly what their fellows are doing now and we still cheer them on and expecting things to miraculously change and get better. We must get better at our choice of leaders first. That's why I support Macharia Njeru for president, not the normal Politicians obsessed with shares in the government. Mwongozo Mpya, Sote Pamoja.

That new funding model bas caused unimaginable harm to students and their families. The young people myst rise up and fight.
Replying to @okayojoshua
These are disturbing and disheartening issues. I still don’t understand why and how University students allowed the New funding model to operate. The young people must rise up and demand for what’s rightfully theirs. We pay taxes to guarantee this. It’s not a favor

Suicides in Universities isn't given the attention it deserves. In our meeting with student leaders on Saturday, they reported many issues bedevilling them in campus, but one thing that stood out and that is extremely hurtful is this issue of students taking their own lives. They reported that in the period that students have been away from campus due to lecturers' strike, 5 students have committed suicide. 5 LIVES LOST just like that. Five. Student leaders reported that campus students are going through a lot! - Expensive funding model leaving majority of them stranded and their parents unable to afford it; - Costly accommodation fees; - Inability to afford basics like food (kuinama) and essentials; - All these add up to so much mental stress and what follows is fatal. It's even sadder that they had to abruptly find transport to go home because classes are stopped. One of the students narrated to us how he hasn't been able to pay his monthly rent of Ksh. 5,000 for three months now. The apartment owner locked his door and he was even unable to remove his stuff. Sadly, all this is not making news because we are busy politicking and it seems young lives lost is not part of the core conversation. We need to give this issue the attention it deserves and care for the lives of our campus comrades. We are losing young brilliant minds to unavoidable causes because are not serious about it. We need to make an inquiry into these deaths and discuss a long lasting solution to mental health related deaths. University life has become extremely hard because of some reckless government policies including the new funding model that has ensured so many students drop out of school. Please let's help amplify this and help our younger brothers and sisters.

We held a successful meeting with University student leaders from the Nairobi region and listened to all the concerns of comrades. Each of these leaders had a chance to address the convening and present issues. All the issues presented will form part of Mwongozo Mpya Party Manifesto. We agreed that our Nation indeed requires a paradigm shift to a new model of leadership. They were all so excited to be part of a new direction and committed to working together for our common cause. Our party leader @MachariaNjeru also had a chance to address some of the questions posed by the student leaders with regards to Mwongozo Mpya government's plan for comrades. We continue to welcome all comrades who would want to be part of a new direction and ultimately form a government full of genuine leaders committed to changing the lives of all Kenyans for the better. Mwongozo Mpya, Sote Pamoja

Our thoughts are with the families affected by the building collapse in Eastleigh and with the rescuers working to reach those trapped. Please keep clear of the site so ambulances and rescue teams can get through, and rely on official updates. Today is for the rescue. Once it is done, Kenyans deserve to know who approved this building and why it fell. - Macharia Njeru

We have a lot more in common than the differences. Unity is constant! I salute you all my leaders.
When we say the youth must unite, we mean it, and we must walk the talk! I’m glad to have joined fellow young leaders from different political parties for an indoor meeting to deliberate on issues of national importance and chart a united path forward for our country. Despite being in different parties, we share a common responsibility: to put the interests of young people first and work together towards a better Kenya. We have agreed to unite, rise above party affiliations, and build a formidable youth front committed to reclaiming our country from the jaws of this autocratic regime. Our future is bigger than our political differences. The youth must be at the table, united in purpose, and determined to shape the Kenya we deserve. The time to unite is now. @okayojoshua the Deputy Party MMP @AdrianOluoch from @LindaMwananchi_ @allans_ademba from Tuko Kadi Initiative @chibekamatara from @KANUParty_ke @Dr_Buchu from NRM Party @Onsare47 from LLM Thanks for being pioneers of the youth unity.
