MATIANG’I’S PLANS SCARE RUTO
Government bloggers have been attacking Dr. Fred Matiang’i every day, claiming that he should be doing more rallies, that he should stop “sleeping,” and that he is not busy
But let Kenyans ask themselves one simple question: Why would a whole government spend its time and resources attacking a candidate it considers lazy and irrelevant?
You don't attack someone you have already dismissed. You attack someone you fear, NIS had informed them how Matiang’i is preparing himself ahead of 2027
What Kenyans should understand is that Dr. Fred Matiang’i has been extremely busy not necessarily on top of vehicles or in front of cameras, but on engaging Kenyans directly
Every day, Matiang’i engages thousands of Kenyans from different sectors and walks of life professionals, traders, former leaders, teachers, boda boda riders, matatu operators, fishermen, university and college students, farmers and ordinary citizens across the country
We asked him why he chooses to engage people this way.His answer was simple:“I normally engage people in markets, but I must also listen to Kenyans one-on-one. The problems facing our country cannot be solved only from the top of a vehicle. They require deep and serious direct conversations with Kenyans from every corner , every community and every sector.”
He explained that these engagements allow him to listen directly to the people,understand their challenges and collect ideas that will eventually shape a real manifesto a manifesto developed together with Kenyans, the people he considers as his bosses
At one point, we asked him:“Boss, can we take pictures and share them online? People are attacking us, saying you are not busy.”
His response?“No. My vision is bigger than pictures. This is not a competition about who takes the most photographs. The question is how serious we are about fixing our country.”That statement tells you the difference between leadership and political showmanship
Imagine if Matiang’i were interested in publicity alone. He would be taking hundreds of pictures every day and posting them online to prove that he is busy.But his focus is different.He is listening. He is learning. He is planning. He is preparing how to lead Kenya 2027 effectively, that's why you have seen him engaging diplomats, ambassadors, Proffesionals and even leaders from various developed countries
Matiang’i believes that the foundation of transforming Kenya is understanding Kenyans first knowing what is happening in our hospitals, schools, farms, businesses, transport sector, fishing communities, universities and homes, then developing practical solutions
Not every problem can be solved through rallies.Not every conversation has to happen on top of a vehicle.Sometimes leadership means sitting down with ordinary Kenyans, listening to them and understanding their reality
That is why we should not confuse visibility with productivity.Dr. Fred Matiang’i is working day and night because he understands that governing Kenya requires proper preparation.
So, to those asking, “Where is Matiang’i?”He is with Kenyans.And perhaps that is exactly why those attacking him are becoming increasingly uncomfortable.Matiang’i is not preparing for a photo competition. He is preparing to lead Kenya
Dr. Matiang'i once told us, as we are planning to take the government 2027, we must also get prepared to lead, fix the nation and not give Kenyans excuses
If we look at Qualifications, honestly Dr.Fred Matiang’i is the most qualified Presidential Candidate who can offer solutions to challenges facing our country
