Devolution: From Panacea to Pillage? A Sober Look at Kenya's Experiment

Image
As we converge in Homabay for the annual Devolution Conference, a sense of both hope and deep disappointment hangs in the air. When devolution was enshrined in our 2010 Constitution, it was hailed as the ultimate solution to decades of skewed development and marginalization. The promise was simple yet profound: to bring resources, power, and decision-making closer to the people, empowering rural Kenya and igniting a new era of grassroots prosperity. Fifteen years and three election cycles later, the reality on the ground paints a starkly different, and deeply troubling, picture. Instead of a panacea, devolution has, in many instances, become a "decentralization of corruption." The grand vision of a more equitable Kenya has been hijacked by a new class of "county-level warlords," whose primary agenda seems to be the primitive accumulation of wealth at the expense of the very people they were elected to serve.                     ...

From Engineer to Elder-Crowned Leader: The Remarkable Journey of Hon. Eng. Vincent Musyoka-Kawaya.

Image
In 2013, a young engineer named Vincent Musyoka, known today as Hon. Kawaya, entered the political arena with a spirit of ambition and a mind for problem-solving. His journey, mirroring Shakespeare's timeless words, "Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them," has been a remarkable trajectory of exponential growth. Having achieved a distinguished career in engineering, his recent elevation to a new political station is a testament to the latter part of that quote—greatness has been thrust upon him.                          Akamba Elders crowns Hon.Kawaya as the Community’s spokesman and the anchor of development In a solemn and deeply symbolic event at Eenzai in Mukaa-Kilome constituency, Hon. Kawaya was crowned as the regional spokesman and a key anchor for the political and developmental future of the Kamba people. In a meticulously planned and emotional ritual, a council of ...

Hon Kawaya's tribute that moved congregants into sobs.

Image
It's a sombre and beautiful testament to human connection when a leader, in a moment of public grief, chooses to open his own heart to comfort another. This was precisely the scene in Kitui West as mourners gathered to lay to rest the late Dorcas Mbai, the beloved mother of Hon. Nimrod Mbai. Amidst the eulogies and tributes, it was the comforting words of Hon. Eng. Vincent Musyoka-Kawaya, the Member of Parliament for Mwala, that moved the crowd to tears, offering a poignant reminder that even in the highest echelons of power, humanity and shared vulnerability prevail.                                            Hon.Kawaya at the burial of Dorcas Mbai the mother to Kitui East MP-Nimrod Mbai As one of the only two UDA elected Members of Parliament in the entire Ukambani region, the bond between Hon. Kawaya and Hon. Mbai is not just political; it is a fellowship forged in a shared j...

Statement: Ukombozi Express is unstoppable

Image
 In the wake of yesterday's regrettable incident at the Machakos Teachers Training College, where the voice of progress was momentarily drowned out by the noise of a few, we urge all our supporters and partners in the "Ukombozi Express" to remain calm, focused, and resolute. Let us not be swayed by the distractions and distortions engineered by naysayers and the proponents of the old, retrogressive politics. The shouting and heckling you witnessed were not the voice of the people; they were the last gasp of a dying political order—the politics of the rocking chair, which provides motion but leads nowhere. Hon. Eng. Vincent Musyoka-Kawaya has made a solemn resolve to free our people from this trap. His journey is a deliberate, careful, and meticulous march towards the complete emancipation of the downtrodden. He has chosen to follow a narrow, uphill, and torturous path, not for personal gain, but because he knows it is the only way to deliver lasting, tangible results for ...

The air in Matutu, Kibwezi West, was electric. The crowd, a sea of enthusiastic faces, surged forward, their cheers a thunderous welcome for a man they see as a new kind of leader—Hon. Eng.

He spoke with a clarity and conviction that captiva...

  The sound of the vuvuzela, the rhythm of drums, and the roar of the crowd are back. For the next month, as the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) unfolds on our soil, the biggest stage in East Africa is ours. This is a moment of immense national pride, and a powerful call to every Kenyan to rise to the occasion, not just as football fans, but as patriots and gracious hosts.                                                President William Ruto makes a surprise visit to Harambee Stars at their training camp at Kasarani It is time to put aside our political persuasions and rally behind our national team, the Harambee Stars.

Let the cheers for our team drown out the divisive rhetoric that has too often threatened to...

The Sound of Unity: Why CHAN 2024 is a Game-Changer for East Africa.

Image
The air across East Africa is electric. Football fans from Nairobi to Kampala and Dar es Salaam are not just anticipating a month of thrilling matches; they are witnessing a powerful display of regional unity. The co-hosting of the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania is more than just a sporting event—it is a clear and resounding signal of our collective potential.                                                            The CHAN official logo and Trophy For too long, the narrative of African football has been dominated by the achievements of our players in the European leagues. While we rightly celebrate our sons and daughters who shine in the UEFA Champions League, we have often done so at the expense of our own local talent. The CHAN tournament, with its brilliant mandate to feature only players fro...
