My contract with Kileleshwa voters

With the general elections set to take place at the end of this month, the journey that I started at the beginning of the year is about to come to a climactic point. In a tough and yet remarkable year for me, I kept going against great odds driven by a deep desire to offer something different to the Kileleshwa voters – an inspired leadership that would raise the bar for our civic candidates in terms of service delivery.

To a large extent, I believe I’ve achieved that objective considering my limited time and resources. My name will be on the Kileleshwa ballot under the SAFINA party and it’s now up to the voters to decide whether my tested credentials qualify me for the job of representing Kileleshwa Ward at City Hall for the next five years.


This Saturday 8th December 2007, I will unveil my contract with Kileleshwa voters at the Waruku shopping centre during an exciting public rally. The rally will be curtain raised by local music artists led by no less - JUA CALI himself. See image advert on the right.

I have printed cards with this contract, which I prefer to call my Five-point action plans. My take is that action on pledges is what Kenyans really need, not empty promises in the form of grand “visions” and “manifestos” which are never implemented.

I have desisted from using those words because they’ve become such boring lies to Kenyan voters. I’ve been handing out my cards to Kileleshwa residents whenever I go out on the campaign trail because I believe that it’s important for a leader to have something binding on paper with his/her voters for ease of appraisal come the next elections.

It’s therefore a great honour for me to hereby present this contract on the blog for your download and objective perusal. Please click on the image to your right for a close-up of my contract cards.

I invite you to post your queries or comments on the same at this forum. You have a right as a voter and employer, to thoroughly interview me on these pledges before you cast your vote on December 27th 2007.

I’m confident that I’ll pass the interview and that Kileleshwa voters will give me the mandate to represent them as a Councillor at the Nairobi City Council. God bless.
