Yesterday at KICC, it was an honour to be the chief guest at the launch of the Kenya National Prayer & Transformation Movement, a prayer and civic engagement programme, where I represented the IEBC Chairperson.

I called on our faith leaders to use the pulpit as a civic classroom; preach tolerance, guide our youth and stand for truth. Peaceful elections are built today, in our homes, churches and communities.

We are grateful to the conveners, the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya and the Kenya National Prayer & Transformation Movement, for the invitation. Let us pray for Kenya, educate Kenya and build Kenya together.

Misinformation, disinformation and malinformation remain a major threat to our democracy.

Don’t let false information make the decision for you.

Looking back at this past Saturday when I represented the IEBC Chairperson at CITAM Karen, where I had the opportunity to engage with aspiring candidates ahead of the 2027 General Elections.
One thing I emphasised during the conversation is that strong institutions matter to all of us.
“It is in our own interest as citizens of this country, that institutions work!”
As citizens, candidates and institutions, we each have a role to play in building the Kenya we want.
Grateful to CITAM Karen for bringing us together for this conversation.

Had a really good morning representing the IEBC Chairperson at the Aspirants' Breakfast Meeting hosted by CITAM Karen.
It was great engaging with aspiring candidates, many of them preparing to run for office for the first time.
We talked about what it really means to participate responsibly in an election; from the basics of what's required to vie for a seat, to the electoral laws that govern the process, to the Electoral Code of Conduct that should guide how we all compete.
With 2027 approaching, these conversations are important.
Grateful to CITAM Karen for hosting this and creating space for this kind of dialogue.

Taking a breather from a long week of duty at Liberty Park, New Jersey, USA. Today marks the transition into autumn (fall) here; the winds, the darker clouds... not so comfy for a native of African savannah and endless summer sun!

It was great to accompany the Vice Chairperson of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission(IEBC), Fahima Araphat Abdulla, for a round-table conversation with Kenyan diaspora leaders in New York on how we can make it easier for Kenyans abroad to take part in elections.
The leaders, led by Danson Mukile, were drawn from Texas, Colorado, Indiana, Boston, New York City, and other American states where Kenyans reside and work.
We talked about practical steps: polling centres that are easy to reach and seen as neutral, digital pre-registration so people can get on the register without the hassle, and ways for qualified Kenyans in the diaspora to help run the process themselves.
At the IEBC, we'll keep listening and working with you as we look for real ways to make our elections more accessible and inclusive to Kenyans wherever they live.

At the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York, where I accompanied IEBC’s Vice Chairperson Fahima Araphat Abdullah who represented the IEBC Chairperson in engaging with Kenyans in the Diaspora on strengthening electoral participation and inclusion ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The Commission is leveraging technology and innovation to enhance the voter experience for Kenyans living abroad, while exploring ways to expand access to electoral services beyond the current arrangements, particularly in countries with significant populations of Kenyan voters.

Our goal is to make electoral services more accessible, efficient, accurate and responsive to the needs of every eligible Kenyan, wherever they are.

Honoured to have represented our Chairperson at the Amani Conference in Nairobi yesterday, the High-Level National Stakeholders' Conference on Peaceful General Elections 2027, convened by NCIC.
It brought together key stakeholders all working towards the same goal: peaceful, credible and inclusive elections in 2027.
Peaceful elections are a shared responsibility. 🇰🇪

Yesterday, during the High-Level National Stakeholders’ Conference on Peaceful General Elections 2027 convened by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) in Nairobi, we had a fun icebreaker session where we were challenged to communicate using sign language. It was a light moment, but it got me thinking.

Inclusion isn't just a policy word. It's making sure every Kenyan, whatever their ability, can participate fully in our electoral process. At IEBC, that's something we take seriously; accessible, inclusive elections for everyone.

Your voice matters.
