Bomet Has Spoken: A Call for Unity, Justice, and Equal Opportunity for All Kenyans
Bomet, my great people — thank you. Your warmth, your courage, and your honesty are deeply humbling. Today, I did not just hear words; I heard a powerful cry from the heart of a people who love their country and yearn for a fair chance within it. Your voices matter, and your concerns are valid. I want to assure you, from the bottom of my heart, that I will walk with you every step of the way on this journey toward a just and inclusive Kenya.
Kenya belongs to all of us. It does not belong to a select few, nor should it be shaped by policies that benefit some while pushing many to the margins. A bad policy does not discriminate — it cuts across regions, communities, and political affiliations. It affects the farmer in Bomet, the trader in Nairobi, the teacher in Kakamega, and the youth searching for opportunity in every corner of this nation. When governance fails, it is the mwananchi who bears the burden. That is why your cry is not only justified, it is necessary.
You deserve to be heard. You deserve dignity. And above all, you deserve equal opportunity in your own country. No Kenyan should feel forgotten or sidelined because of where they come from, who they voted for, or the size of their voice. Leadership must listen, leadership must care, and leadership must act in the interest of the people — not in isolation from them.
This morning in Bomet Town, we engaged openly and honestly with you. We listened, we shared, and we reflected together on the state of our nation. On behalf of the United Opposition, I want to sincerely appreciate your openness and your willingness to speak truthfully about your lived realities. Democracy is strengthened when citizens are unafraid to speak and leaders are willing to listen.
I stood alongside my brothers, Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka and Eugene Wamalwa, united by a shared belief that Kenya can — and must — do better. Our unity is not about personal ambition or political convenience. It is about restoring hope, accountability, and people-centered leadership. Together, we are committed to amplifying your voices and pushing for policies that uplift rather than oppress.
The path ahead will not be easy, but it is a necessary one. Change has never come from silence or fear; it comes from courage, solidarity, and persistence. Bomet, you have shown that courage today. You have reminded us that the soul of this nation lives in its people — resilient, hopeful, and determined.
As we move forward, let us remain united across our differences. Let us continue to demand better governance, fair policies, and a Kenya where opportunity is not a privilege but a right. I am with you. The United Opposition is with you. And together, we will continue to stand for a Kenya that works for all.
