Official statements and communications from the David Maraga Campaign
The level of looting has risen astronomically since 2013. One of the methods the looters have employed is borrowing. At the end of his administration, Kibaki left public debt at 1.77 trillion shillings. However, through reckless borrowing, public debt, most of which is odious debt, has since risen to nearly 13 trillion...
Read Full StatementMadaraka means self-governance. It means sovereignty. And sovereignty, under our Constitution, does not rest with the President. It does not rest with Parliament. It does not rest with the Judiciary. Article 1 is unambiguous: sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya.
Read Full StatementPartnership is welcome, but it must never be conducted in a manner that leaves citizens in the dark on their level of risk. This is particularly important in light of the recent Health Agreement with the USA, which has already raised serious questions about the protection of Kenyans’ privacy and health rights.
Read Full StatementThe crisis has not attracted the national attention it deserves as the numbers rise year after year from 6,841 missing children in the 2022/2023 period, to 7,058 in 2023/2024, to over 8,800 in 2024.
Read Full StatementTo the young Kenyans who have driven the #NikoKadi movement and rallied your peers to register in record numbers, I say this: you are the conscience of this nation. Continue your advocacy.
Read Full StatementGrief must lead to action. Year after year, our people die in floods that were foreseeable. This is not simply the work of nature; it is also the consequence of a government that has become utterly uncaring about the consequences of neglecting responsibility. People die needlessly.
Read Full StatementKenyan citizenship is not a gift to be extended at the convenience of power; it is the legal expression of our sovereignty, belonging to the people of Kenya. A passport is not just a travel document; it is the State's declaration that the bearer is one of us, bound to our Constitution, protected by our laws, and accountable to our institutions.
Read Full StatementWhile we celebrate excellence, we must reject a system that produces massive failure and only a small elite that survives through the eye of a corrupt needle.
Read Full StatementThe future of this nation does not depend on one individual. It depends on our collective decision to return to the Constitution we gave ourselves. I ask you to walk this journey with me — with courage, patience, and faith in the rule of law.
Read Full StatementA person holding an unconstitutional office has no moral or legal authority to dictate how we should amend our supreme law.
Read Full StatementWe are not poor because we lack money. We are poor because we have embraced an extractive system that is designed to serve those in power before it serves citizens.
Read Full StatementOur youth are not “hustlers” at home or for hire in the global labour bazaar. They are wealth creators. They are custodians, guardians and stewards of the present and the future. My duty is to equip them for leadership, invention, and ownership of Kenya’s destiny, to operate beyond survival and dependency.
Read Full StatementThe way out is not more reckless loans. It is finding efficiency in government — cutting duplication, waste, and vanity projects — and ending corruption once and for all. Kenya must live within its means, reform its budget priorities, and bring to justice those who looted the public purse.
Read Full StatementThe failure of the rule of law in any one East African country inevitably undermines stability, security, and prosperity across the entire region.
Read Full StatementThe world is scrambling for Africa’s minerals, ports, and lands. Why make our nation vulnerable? Who do you serve? Young Kenyans have already died protesting these injustices.
Read Full StatementI state this plainly: Kenya’s assets belong to the people. The process must meet the highest standards of legality, transparency, and accountability. The story of our assets belongs to the public, not to boardrooms.
Read Full StatementI have the pleasure to announce the appointment of Mkawasi Mcharo as the Co-Executive Director of the Maraga Campaign Secretariat.
Read Full StatementInstead of saving lives, SHA has become another layer of inefficiency and political talk, detached from the suffering on the ground and deaf to the people's cries. We are angry because a child dying daily as a result of political failure is unacceptable.
Read Full StatementI also urge Parliament, as the representative of the people, to demand a full account from President Ruto on how these forces were allowed into our country, and under what legal framework. The rule of law requires transparency, accountability, and strict adherence to constitutional procedures especially in all matters of national security.
Read Full StatementThe continued violation of the Constitution is further confirmation that President Ruto has no regard for the rule of law, despite only 3 days ago purporting to lead in the commemoration of Katiba Day.
Read Full Statement"The betrayal of the Kenyan people by those entrusted to safeguard their health will no longer be tolerated," he declared. "Those who have colluded to defraud the nation, regardless of title or office, must face the full force of the law."
Read Full StatementWe demand that the IEBC immediately commences the continuous voter registration process and conducts a mass voter registration campaign.
Read Full StatementPresident Ruto has no moral authority to lecture Parliament on corruption while sidestepping these scandals. The Kenyan people deserve a full accounting of where their money has gone and who has pocketed it.
Read Full StatementThe formation of these bureaucratic bodies is a deceit that comes at great expense to the taxpayer. This repeated insult against the intelligence of Kenyans will not go unchallenged.
Read Full StatementThis is precisely how a nation is broken and a state fails. Slowly, systematically breaking your spirits until you start to forget what functional governance looks or feels like.
Read Full StatementWe wish to express our gratitude for the continued feedback from sections of Kenyans on the need to streamline our team's communication strategy. After collecting suggestions from Kenyans and consulting internally; we have set up the following communication channels affiliated to the David Maraga Campaign
Read Full StatementIt is with profound sorrow that we share our sincere condolences on the passing of Hon. 'Mama Phoebe' Muga Asiyo. Truly, we have lost a remarkable figure in our society today, a woman whose leadership was profound and had a considerable impact on our country.
Read Full StatementThe violent build-up of State repression has brought us to this point. Kenya cries for a moral front to consolidate the incredible courage of the young people who have been demanding for a better country. They were exercising their guaranteed rights to assembly and freedom of speech as unarmed citizens.
Read Full StatementI vehemently condemn the violence against mothers gathered at KHRC to speak up against the use of violence at tomorrow's Saba Saba commemoration.
Read Full StatementRegarding the increasing rise in reprisals, arbitrary arrests, detention and abductions following the 25 June protests in our country, I wish to call out particularly, Mr Mohammed Amin, the Director of the Department of Criminal Investigations (DCI). Mr. Amin has taken Kenyans through another "he hit his head on the police cell wall" tall tale in the case of the abduction and disappearance of Ndiang'ui Kinyagia, which occurred on the afternoon of the 21st of June 2025.
Read Full StatementKenya is a nation in mourning today. A country experiencing a governance deficit, and a leadership crisis.
Read Full StatementThe directive from the Communication Authority of Kena for media houses to stop live coverage of the 25th June protests is illegal, unconstitutional, and retrogressive.
