Here is a summary of key talking points from H.E @edwinsifuna's speeches through Kwale County today.. 1. It is unacceptable that 63 years after independence, most Kwale residents and Coastals in general still live as squatters in lands rightly belonging to their forefathers. H.E stated that title deeds must be issued to locals so that they own their land by right. 2. All commercial deals by the government must be made public as citizens are the owners of state assets. He demanded that the Mrima Hills rare earth minerals deal must be made public and residents must be the first stakeholders on any agreement. 3. He condemned the tendency to strip Kwale County of its natural resources to benefit only a few people who were not locals. For instance, he reiterated that Base Titanium operated in Kwale for 12 years, folded and left, but the local community didn't benefit from the billions generated by the titanium, despite being the custodians of the natural resources. 4. The Linda Mwananchi would seek to seal all wastage and corruption holes in the budget to save between Kshs 500 billion and Kshs 1.8 trillion, and channel these savings into easing the burden on ordinary citizens, whose lives have been degraded by Ruto's greed and budgeted corruption. 5. The six core national values outlined in the Kenyan constitution would remain the guiding light of the Linda Mwananchi administration. H.E reminded @WilliamsRuto that Linda Mwananchi would keep teaching him these values at the slow speed he has chosen to adopt. 6. The right to life is the most important right in the constitution. Because of extra-judicial killings committed by the Ruto administration, he had lost the legitimacy to govern, because the citizens killed can never enjoy any alleged development under Ruto's kleptcratic regime. 7. Appointments like that of @HassanAliJoho are meant to hoodwink the people into thinking "their son" would help remedy injustices, like the theft of local minerals through opaque minerals deals. But Joho had proven that incompetence and loyalty to a bad leader like Ruto were ailments that couldn't be cured. Linda Mwananchi will bring the "medicine" in the next ten months. 8. The cost of living is unacceptably high. Residents must join LMM in large numbers and use their votes to send Ruto back home and install a government that would be responsive to the people's needs. Everywhere in Kenya, where LMM has been, people are lamenting the decline of quality of life under Ruto. The time is approaching fast and H.E. has encouraged Kwale people to look forward bravely to the dawn of a Linda Mwananchi government. 9. Constitutionalism and the rule of law is a full agenda on its own, and Linda Mwananchi would not tire from hammering the point home that many national ills could be fixed by a return to the law as a basis of governance. LMM will not be deterred from pushing forward in this path. 10. There is a reason every president, even if elected unopposed, must take the oath of office and swear allegiance to the constitution and Republic of Kenya first. This principle points to the centrality of the constitution in governance. H.E vowed that he would never let the country down once elected, and will form a government that would respect constitutional tenets. And he sent a goodwill message to the people of Kwale County, letting them know that the dawn is nigh. Together, we'll free the nation next August!
