Drain the Swamp

Don't be left behind, be part of the revolution.

Be The Revolution!

We are reclaiming our voices back as the people of Kenya. This is about us. It's about making a statement, not just to the world, but to our future generations. For years, our voices have been ignored. We've spoken out but they never listened.

Do We Have a Functional Government?

A government where money meant for sick people is swindled. Where farmers are deliberately, intentionally sold dust in the name of fertilizer. Do we have a constitution in this country? We have a parliament, yet we must mobilize nationwide protests for them to listen to us. Politicians talk to us as they see fit, completely disregarding the rule of law and living according to their own will.

The Constitution's Failure

This constitution has failed to combat corruption. There is no evidence that it has any capacity to free our country from the shackles of the many men and women who want to use it for their own benefit. In fact, the constitution cannot even protect us. The day our comrades died, there was a constitution in this country. It could not protect them, nor can't it effectively protect us.

A Constitution in ICU

Democracy in Kenya died on the 25th June 2024. It has been in ICU for a long time, only working in favor of those in power. Don’t let me remind you of all the money disappearing from our coffers. Money is being swindled at an alarming rate, and we and our future generations shall spend a lot of time and resources paying for loans we never saw.

The Real Enemy

Politicians are not the enemy; rather, it’s the corrupt system that allows people like them to ascend to power. Only by changing the system can we ever have hope of building the country we desire. If not, we will simply undergo what 2001 achieved, fighting hard just to benefit a few. Barely a decade later, we are still fighting a war they allegedly won.

A Call for a New System

We need a new political system and a new economic model—one with us Kenyans in mind. One meant to serve us and not a few people in power. One that will give our kids a good education, give us better healthcare, and protect lives like Rex's. One that will stop corruption, free us from our debt traps, and set us on the path to economic freedom. One where there are jobs and where businesses thrive.

Time to Re-strategize

It's time for us to re-strategize and make our country better, not simply rant and complain. I always think of Jamaica and their reggae songs, always talking about injustices and the corruption of politicians. But they simply say and do nothing.

I am reminded of a song called “Times Like This,” where the artist claims, “It's times like this that we miss our heroes, it's times like this that I wish they were here.” Well, news flash: Dedan Kimathi and Tom Mboya are not coming back. We can continue ranting and hoping, but that won’t get us anywhere.

An Ideas-Based Movement

That’s why we are proposing an ideas-based movement. Where we share agendas and plans on how to implement them. This is a collective initiative driven primarily by shared concepts, values, and visions for societal transformation, rather than by formal organizations or charismatic leaders. These movements prioritize the dissemination and discussion of ideas to inspire change, often operating through decentralized structures and leveraging both physical gatherings and digital platforms. It’s the only way we can move forward. Let's be a country that acts toward building itself.

Be the country you want to see. The vision remains the same: to build a better Kenya.
