2027 Election Will Make Or Brake Kenya: Why Kenyan Voters Must Stop Electing Thieves, Witches, Crooks, Butchers Of Children, Rapists, Thugs & Murderers

The Kenyan voter is an interesting species. Every five years, they swear they are tired of corruption, tribalism, and bad governance. Yet, when election day comes, they line up, sweating under the hot sun, to elect the very same thieves who robbed them blind yesterday. It’s almost poetic—if poetry were a tragic comedy.

But 2027 cannot be another tragic comedy. It must be the decisive chapter where the Kenyan voter grows up. This time, they must interrogate the past of every single aspirant, because the past, whether we like it or not, is the clearest mirror of the future. If a man was a thief yesterday, unless God himself intervened, he is very likely still a thief today.

Chapter 6 of the Constitution was not written as decoration. It is the firewall that was supposed to protect Kenya from the flood of impunity. But Kenyans, being Kenyans, often treat it as optional, like a “terms and conditions” pop-up on a website. They just scroll and press “accept” without reading. Then they wonder why their lives remain miserable.

Integrity is not an abstract virtue. It is not something you whisper during campaign slogans. It is the lifeline of governance. Without integrity in leadership, everything collapses. Roads are never built, hospitals remain empty shells, schools turn into daycare centers for the poor, and Parliament becomes a marketplace for the sale of national assets to the highest bidder.

So, what must the Kenyan voter interrogate? First, history. If your aspirant was once a director of a parastatal and left it bankrupt, what miracle will transform them into a savior as an MP or governor? Magic? Witchcraft? Because , unless you are voting for a sorcerer, the laws of human behavior still apply.

The family background of aspirants must also be put on the table. This is not tribal profiling. It is accountability profiling. Who raised this man or woman? Are they the product of families known for fraud and land grabbing? Do they come from a clan whose wealth is built on sucking blood out of the nation like mosquitoes in Kisumu during the rainy season?

And yes, we must ask difficult questions: Are they witches? Do they consult dark spirits before making decisions? Because how else do you explain leaders who, instead of serving the people, sacrifice logic, morality, and national interest at the altar of selfishness? Kenya is not short of such characters, and their track record must be exposed.

The question of faith also arises. Are they truly Christians or Muslims, or are they mere Sunday actors who kneel in churches during campaigns and then kneel in bars of corruption Monday through Saturday? Kenya has seen enough of this hypocrisy. If your faith cannot tame your greed, then your seat in Parliament will only multiply national pain.

Mental health must not be ignored. A nation that ignores the psychological stability of its leaders is doomed. We must ask: Does this aspirant have a history of depression, suicide attempts, or violence? Because Parliament is not a rehabilitation center. We cannot entrust national survival to broken men and women who need therapy, not power.

And let us not be fooled by wealth. An aspirant’s riches are not proof of competence. The question is simple: how did they get it? Was it through business, innovation, or sweat? Or did it come through tenders, looting, and fake companies set up to milk the public purse? The Auditor General’s reports are full of names and fingerprints. Voters must read them.

Reports from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) are another goldmine. They list suspects and cases of corruption year after year. But what do Kenyans do with this information? Nothing. They shake their heads, sigh, and then elect the same suspects. It is like reading a medical report confirming you have cancer and then deciding to keep smoking.

Why is 2027 so critical? Because it will determine whether Kenya finally breaks free from this cycle of electoral foolishness. This election is the referendum of our collective sanity. If we get it wrong, we cement the legacy of impunity forever. If we get it right, we open a new chapter where leadership is a sacred trust, not a shopping spree.

Kenyans must interrogate the morality of aspirants. Do they respect women? Do they raise their children? Or do they have a trail of abandoned families, secret children, and scandals hidden like unwashed laundry? A leader who cannot manage his home cannot manage a nation. That is Biblical, constitutional, and logical.

The voter must also ask: What has this aspirant done for the community before seeking office? Did they ever lift a finger to improve schools, water access, or healthcare? Or did they only show up with donations during funerals, spraying cash like confused philanthropists? Leadership is not about handouts; it is about a track record.

We must also check their loyalty. Do they love Kenya, or are they loyal to foreign masters, cartels, and financiers? Many aspirants are merely agents of billionaires who see politics as an investment. If elected, their first order of business is to recover campaign costs, and the people become collateral damage.

Education must not be overlooked. Fake degrees have flooded our political landscape. Leaders with questionable certificates stand in Parliament debating national policy as if Kenya were a kindergarten. The voter must demand authentic education, not pieces of paper bought in River Road printing shops.

We must look at their criminal records. How many times have they been arrested? For what crimes? Land grabbing? Assault? Fraud? If your aspirant has spent more time in court than in productive ventures, perhaps their true calling is prison, not Parliament.

Kenya cannot afford leaders who thrive on ethnic divisions. The voter must interrogate whether an aspirant has ever incited communities, spread hate speech, or financed violence. These are not minor flaws; they are red flags that should disqualify them permanently.

Financial responsibility is another key aspect. Does this aspirant pay taxes? Do they comply with KRA requirements, or do they evade duty while lecturing citizens about patriotism? A tax evader has no moral standing to govern taxpayers. The hypocrisy is too great.

We must analyze their performance if they were in office before. Did they attend Parliament? Hansard records don’t lie. Some MPs are ghost workers who spend more time in Dubai shopping malls than in legislative chambers. Why re-elect absentee landlords of democracy?

The question of lifestyle is also important. Does this aspirant live beyond their means? Do they own fleets of cars, mansions, and offshore accounts that cannot be explained by their salaries? Lifestyle audits must be voter tools, not government theatrics.

We must examine their networks. Who are their friends, advisors, and financiers? Show me your friends, and I will show you your destiny. If their circle is full of crooks, expect nothing but crookedness.

Kenyans must interrogate whether an aspirant respects institutions. Do they believe in the judiciary, Parliament, and Constitution, or do they see themselves as little gods above the law? Anyone allergic to accountability will never serve the people.

The voter must also ask about vision. Does this aspirant have a clear plan for healthcare, education, jobs, and the economy, or are they just parroting tired slogans like “bottom-up,” “hustler,” or “development for all”? Empty slogans do not feed children.

The 2027 election is the most important because it is Kenya’s last chance to prove that democracy is not a ritual but a tool of liberation. If we elect thieves again, the Constitution will be nothing but toilet paper.

Kenyans must finally learn that voting is not charity. It is a business transaction where the people are shareholders. If you elect a crook, you lose your dividends—jobs, security, and dignity. The aspirant walks away with profits, and you are left with poverty.

This is why interrogating history is non-negotiable. History is the only science that predicts human behavior accurately. A thief’s past guarantees a thief’s future. A liar yesterday will not suddenly become honest tomorrow.

We must not be deceived by tribe. Your stomach does not digest tribe; it digests food. Poverty knows no ethnicity, hunger has no dialect, and unemployment does not ask for your clan name. Tribe has been the cocaine of Kenyan politics, and it is time voters go to rehab.
