Langas Ward MCA Francis Muya Mwangi has called on Kenya’s political class to abandon early election posturing and instead concentrate on delivering concrete development for citizens. Speaking at a public event in Yamumbi — where he was overseeing ongoing electrification works — Muya emphasized that Kenyans are weary of endless political talk and want leaders to tackle real issues affecting everyday life.
“These politicians traversing the country saying ‘one term’ or ‘two terms’ — that’s not what Kenyans want to hear right now,” Muya said. “They want roads that are currently impassable to be made passable. Where there is no electricity, they want power connected. Children who are not in school need support, bursaries, and opportunities — not empty political slogans.”
Muya, who has been credited with driving infrastructure and utilities projects in his ward, insisted that the time has come for politicians to respect public will by prioritizing service over spectacle.
“As leaders, we must give Kenyans a break from divisive politics. Regardless of affiliation, every Kenyan deserves development. That is what true leadership is about.”
Accountability, Transparency, and the Dangers of Politicised Spending
Muya also challenged some leaders within the Kenya Kwanza administration to clarify the origins of their campaign funds and the motivations behind lavish public handouts.
“Our people are asking — where is the money coming from? Kenyans don’t want handouts and photo ops. They need roads, schools, electricity, water, and bursaries for their children. That’s real empowerment.”
He raised concerns about the current trend of publicity-driven development, often deployed as media stunts at the expense of long-term impact.
“This kind of politics, where photos and PR take centre stage — that’s not what Kenyans want. We must get serious about addressing their real needs.”
A Message to President Ruto: Reduce Political Heat, Reprioritize Service
In a candid message directed to President William Ruto, Muya urged calm amid rising political temperatures nationwide and pressed him to reorient focus toward service delivery.
“My President William Ruto, you are the President of the Republic of Kenya. Please calm the country. Kenyans don’t want politics at this time — they want development. And when the time for politics comes, it is Kenyans who will decide who to elect, not politicians fighting among themselves.”
He added that the ongoing political noise is a distraction from urgent priorities such as food security, infrastructure and access to education.
“Let’s give Kenyans the politics of development,” he concluded. “When election season comes, people will decide. Until then, let’s deliver.”
Muya’s remarks come as Kenyan politics increasingly shifts toward early campaign posturing, with some leaders already laying groundwork for the 2027 General Election — nearly two years away. Observers have long warned that this trend risks undermining governance and delaying delivery of essential services. Kenya News+1
In April 2025, national calls were made urging politicians to hold off on campaign rhetoric and instead serve constituencies across the country. The Catholic Bishops’ Conference likewise cautioned that “premature election fervour undermines the very spirit of the democratic process.”
