Thunanira Rallies Isiolo Residents to Reject Broken Promises and Demand Real Change

-

Isiolo leader Mwenda Thunanira has issued a strong and emotional call for change, urging residents to rise against years of unfulfilled promises, poor leadership, and systemic neglect that continues to hold the county back.


Speaking during a church service at Overcomers Grace Ministry headquarters in Mwangaza, hosted by Bishop Charles Mwenda, Thunanira expressed deep concern over the persistent challenges facing the people of Isiolo. He noted that despite repeated assurances from political leaders, critical issues such as land ownership remain unresolved, leaving many families in Wabera Ward and Bulapesa living in uncertainty on land they have occupied for decades.

Thunanira lamented that the lack of title deeds has not only denied residents security but has also hindered development and economic empowerment. He criticized leaders for issuing empty promises while failing to take meaningful action to resolve long-standing land disputes.
The leader also highlighted the worsening crisis of youth unemployment, describing it as a ticking time bomb. He pointed out that young people in Isiolo are full of potential, talent, and ambition, yet continue to be ignored by those in power who have failed to create opportunities or implement sustainable empowerment programs.

In his remarks, Thunanira did not shy away from calling out what he described as “political brokers” — individuals who exploit election periods to negotiate personal benefits while abandoning the very communities they claim to represent. He accused them of colluding with corrupt leaders, perpetuating a cycle of poverty and hopelessness among ordinary wananchi.

“To those benefiting from this broken system, the people of Isiolo are tired,” he declared. “They are tired of incompetence, betrayal, and corruption. The time for change is now.”

Thunanira revealed that he is actively engaging with like-minded leaders who are committed to transforming Isiolo and restoring hope to its people. He emphasized the need for accountable, people-centered leadership that prioritizes service delivery, transparency, and the welfare of citizens.

As Isiolo continues to grapple with long-standing socio-economic challenges, Thunanira’s message signals a growing wave of political awakening, with residents increasingly demanding leaders who will deliver tangible results rather than empty rhetoric.

By irene Mwende  NAIROBI, KENYA – Ann Kioko, the Campaign Director for CitizenGO Africa, has delivered a powerful petition on behalf of 12,620 concerned Kenyan citizens, urging President William Ruto to immediately clarify and retract Kenya’s recent vote at the United Nations in favor of extending the controversial mandate on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI). In a strongly worded statement, Kioko expressed deep urgency and grave concern over Kenya’s July 5, 2025 vote endorsing the renewal of the so-called UN Independent Expert on SOGI. According to Kioko, this decision was made without any public consultation or national debate and starkly contradicts the spirit of Kenya’s Constitution, which recognizes the family as the natural and fundamental unit of society. “The SOGI mandate is far from a neutral human rights mechanism,” Kioko said. “It has evolved into a politicized tool used to pressure sovereign nations to accept ideologies that threaten ...

By Irene  At a time when the legal profession faces growing pressure from unethical practices and unqualified actors, Law Society of Kenya (LSK) Council Member candidate Kevin Kachapin has issued a strong call to defend the integrity of advocacy. Speaking on the need to safeguard the profession, Kachapin warned that the rise of quacks and masqueraders posing as advocates poses a serious threat to both the public and genuine practitioners. He noted that such practices erode trust in the justice system and expose clients to grave risks, while hardworking advocates see their profession devalued. Equally concerning, Kachapin said, is the culture of unethical undercutting within the profession, where legal services are cheapened at the expense of quality, competence, and fairness. He emphasized that legal practice must be anchored on integrity, professional skill, and fair competition — not shortcuts that undermine standards. “This is not about gatekeeping,” Kachapin said. “...
