Choose peace as campaigns end The 2007 election taught us we also have control. We can choose peace in spite of any outcome.


On Saturday 6th August, all candidates will hold their last public rallies in the final push for your vote.

Unlike previous general elections, this year’s campaign period was markedly peaceful.

But it is never over until the fat lady sings. We still have several days until August 9. After that, we have many days before the results of the presidential election are announced.


The 2007 election taught us anything can happen anytime. Any outcome is possible.

But that election taught us we also have control. We can choose peace in an unexpected outcome.
This Saturday, the main political alliances will hold their last national rallies in Nairobi – Azimio la Umoja at Kasarani and Kenya Kwanza at Nyayo Stadium. There will also be other large gatherings in the counties.

We urge you to respect the diversity of opinion. Democracy means you can't force another person to share an opinion. You can merely cajole to win them.

In any bad situation, you can always make the choice to walk away. Make your point if you have to, but don't give in to a potentially violent or hateful response.

We also insist that all public institutions must conduct their responsibilities with diligence, and transparency and comply with Kenya’s Constitution and the country’s international obligations and commitments for democratic elections.

Quote of the Day: “Come friends, it's not too late to seek a newer world

GEN Z & milenia protesters highlights critical issues and demands that require immediate attention and action by the Parliament. 1.

Abolish the Housing Levy: 1.2. Remove Exclusions in the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF): All Kenyans should have access to comprehensive healthcare services without any exclusions under the SHIF. SHIF, just like its predecessor NHIF, should be the most comprehensive insurance fund that every Kenya has and support the achievement of UHC. The current regulation includes a long list of exclusions that should be removed. 1.3. Drop the CAS Bill and CAS Positions: The creation of Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) positions is an unnecessary financial burden. We demand the discontinuation of the CAS Bill and the elimination of these positions. 1.4. Eliminate MP Allowances: ...

Governor George Natembeya Development Progress

POINT BLANK Trans Nzoia people are satisfied with Governor Natembeya's Development Progress. It is said that the true mark of leadership is to change people's lives for the better. A visionary leadership is one that advocates for the people's progress irrespective of how they voted. Governor Natembeya's administration has in many ways lived up to these expectations thus far. Testament to this is the fact that the Governor and his administration have received positive mentions nationally on numerous occasions and have been cited among the top in development progress.  Natembeya administration has brought sobriety in the running of the county affairs, where there was none in the previous regime. It has brought transparency and accountability in the use of public resources, where there was none in the past.
