At some point, we are going to have to publicly vouch for a leader we believe in and for me that person is former Chief Justice David Maraga. And this is not about who is trending or making the most noise. It’s about what actually makes sense for this country right now. We are dealing with a system that is broken at the core. Corruption has become normal. Public money disappears with no consequences. Institutions that are supposed to protect us have been captured. And every election cycle, we are given promises that sound good but change nothing. What stands out to me about Maraga is simple, he is not selling us miracles. He is saying, fix the foundation first!! ~Rule of law. ~Respect the constitution. ~Independent institutions. ~Actual consequences for corruption. That might not sound exciting, but if we are being honest, that is exactly what Kenya is bleeding from. You cannot fix the economy when money is being stolen. You cannot fix healthcare when systems are looted. You cannot fix education when leadership has no accountability. For once, here is someone saying ,let’s deal with the root. And we have seen him before. When he was Chief Justice, he made decisions that were not popular, but they were right. He showed that the law can stand above power. That matters!! Because what we are missing in this country is not intelligence, it is integrity. This does not mean he is perfect. No leader is. And supporting someone does not mean you stop questioning them. In fact, it means you hold them to an even higher standard. But if we are going to move forward, then we have to stop playing safe. We have to start being honest about the kind of leadership we want. For me, I choose someone who understands that without accountability, nothing else works. That is why I am backing David Maraga.
