In Kenya, democracy is a way of life, not merely a system of government. It is a system that empowers citizens by giving them a say in how their country is governed.
We have come a great way as a nation on our path to true democracy, but much more work remains to be done.
One of the most serious issues we confront is a lack of civic participation among our residents.
Many Kenyans are disengaged from the political process and do not see the point in engaging in their government.
This is an issue because democracy becomes a hollow shell without active participation from the people.
That is why I am calling on all Kenyans who have threatened to come to Parliament. Please come, or eternally keep your peace.
You have one chance in a million to make the preamble to the law of the land clear: power belongs to the people. I will be there to greet you, and I will give tea, porridge, and, if necessary, bus fare back home.
By engaging in the political process, you may help determine our country’s destiny. You may express your opinion, advocate for change, and hold our officials accountable.
You have the potential to make a significant difference in the lives of all Kenyans.
Democracy is both a right and an obligation. It is our responsibility as citizens to participate in the political process and have a say in how our country is governed.
By doing so, we can ensure that power is genuinely democratic and that our views are heard. So, I urge you to come to Parliament and leave your stamp on our great nation. Together, we can create a more promising future for all Kenyans.
