Dear Gen Z
Raila may be the worst person you need now to propel the change you desire. It is allowed. It is okey. But remember, he has been on DEATH ROW calling for multiparty democracy and FREEDOM of SPEECH you enjoy today
Even in DEATH ROW, he still called for DIALOGUE
Prof.
@KindikiKithure
☑He tamed the emergence of Nairobi runaway daylight robbery
☑Silenced the banditry
☑Thwarted terror activities
☑Procured modern police armored personnel carrier
☑Streamlined Border security through BCOCC

Kenya deserves him
