Yesterday, democracy lost but not forever. In some of the by-elections, handouts won the day. Mbeere North, Magarini, Baringo, Malava… the story was the same. “We lost the battle, but not the war.” 2027 gives us another chance, but only if we learn from yesterday.
The truth is simple: the journey to liberation demands sacrifice. As Martin Luther King Jr. said, "The time is always right to do what is right."
Handouts may feel sweet for a moment, but have we ever asked ourselves what comes after?
When you sell your vote, you’re not selling one day ,you’re selling five years. Because the leaders we elect with money will spend five years stealing public funds to recover campaign costs and pay back their financiers.
So we must pause and ask:
How long will we trade our future for a few notes?
When will we choose leaders, not bidders?
Do we want change or do we want change money?
The power is still with the people but only if the people use it wisely. 2027 is coming. Let’s not repeat the same mistakes.
