‘We Are Enough to Change This Nation’: PM Party Rallies Kenyans Behind Economic Revolution

-



The PM Party has officially launched its headquarters and unveiled what leaders described as an “economic revolution” movement aimed at empowering ordinary Kenyans, restoring dignity, and creating equal opportunities across the country.

Speaking during the launch event, party officials said the movement seeks to unite citizens from all walks of life — including professionals, traders, workers, and grassroots community members — in a collective effort to transform Kenya’s political and economic landscape.

The gathering brought together doctors, nurses, professors, mama mbogas, boda boda riders, youth leaders, and aspiring politicians, whom party leaders described as the true drivers of national transformation.

“We in this country are enough to change this nation,” the leaders declared, urging Kenyans to embrace a new political direction centered on accountability, inclusion, and economic justice.

Supporters were encouraged to register as party members through the PM Party website and the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties platform using party code 105. Officials also urged Kenyans to leave their former political parties and join PM, which they described as a movement focused on empowering young people and introducing fresh leadership into the country.

“We are tired of recycling leaders. Why can’t we have a new leadership as a country? Why can’t we have a presidential candidate who is new and has never been seen before?” one speaker posed.
The party further announced plans to field candidates for various elective positions, including governors, members of parliament, and presidential aspirants, while promising transparent and fair nominations.

During the event, aspiring candidates from different regions were introduced, including a gubernatorial aspirant for Kakamega County and parliamentary hopefuls seeking variou

The party officials criticized years of underdevelopment in Kakamega County, expressing confidence that PM leadership would deliver meaningful transformation and improved service delivery.

Party officials also pledged to champion inclusion by ensuring 50 percent representation for special interest groups, including women, youth, and persons with disabilities, both in party membership and nominations.

Economic issues dominated the discussions, with leaders focusing heavily on challenges facing the agriculture sector, which they described as the backbone of Kenya’s economy.

According to the speakers, agriculture supports nearly 40 million Kenyans and contributes significantly to export earnings, yet receives less than three percent of the national budget.
The leaders blamed poor infrastructure, climate-related challenges, inadequate irrigation, high production costs, policy instability, and lack of affordable financing for weakening the sector.

They promised that a future PM administration would increase agricultural funding to align with the African Union target of allocating 10 percent of the national budget to agriculture while investing more in irrigation and water infrastructure.
Beyond agriculture, the party leaders raised concerns over rising taxation, unemployment, struggling industries, and limited opportunities for young people.

“Kenyan youth do not lack talent. They lack opportunities,” one leader said, while calling for expanded mentorship, innovation, and leadership development programs.

The leaders also criticized corruption, weak institutions, and inequality, arguing that true development should be measured by whether ordinary citizens can access food, healthcare, education, and employment opportunities.

“When a mother can afford food, when a graduate can find work, when a family can access healthcare, and when a young person can dream again, that is real development,” one speaker stated.
The event also featured calls for moral and responsible leadership, with speakers urging aspiring leaders to embrace humility, honesty, patience, unity, and service to the people.

“If you want to be a good leader, avoid pride, greed, anger, and conflict,” one speaker emphasized.
The gathering concluded with prayers for peace, unity, and national transformation as party leaders expressed optimism that the movement would help shape Kenya’s future political direction

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 ...

Safeguarding the Bar: Kevin Kachapin’s Pledge to Restore Integrity and Dignity in Legal Practice

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. “...
