National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah has called on Kenyans to evaluate the Kenya Kwanza government based on its service delivery and policy outcomes, instead of being swayed by political propaganda, empty talk and orchestrated confrontations.
Ichung’wah spoke on Friday, September 11, 2026, when he held a consultative forum with women leaders drawn from grassroots levels in Kiangwaci, Ndia Constituency in Kirinyaga County, where he outlined what he described as the administration's tangible milestones.
He said citizens should direct their attention to the actual interventions put in place and the changes those measures have brought to households, farms and businesses, rather than getting carried away by slogans and political gimmicks.
"Judge us by what we have done, not by propaganda. Look at the policies we have implemented, look at the programmes we have rolled out, and ask yourself whether they are making a difference in the lives of ordinary Kenyans," Ichung'wah stated.
The Kikuyu legislator noted that democratic competition ought to be grounded on superior ideas, sound policies and clear development roadmaps, not on abusive language, physical altercations and deliberate sabotage of rival meetings.
He criticized the growing tendency of some politicians to mobilize jobless youth to interrupt opponents' functions, warning that those who finance such disorder must take responsibility when things go wrong.
"Leaders should stop using young people negatively. Political debates are not physical fights. They should be a contest of ideas and policies," he cautioned.
Ichung’wah said the opposition would earn more credibility if it tabled alternative solutions to the country's challenges instead of banking on commotion and antagonism to remain relevant.
He argued that Kenyans deserve to hear different approaches on issues affecting them, rather than watching leaders compete on who can stage the loudest disruption.
"If you disagree with the government, tell Kenyans what you would do differently. Give them an alternative policy. Politics should be about ideas, not who can create the biggest confrontation," he added.
The Majority Leader's sentiments come at a time when political temperatures are rising, with various camps accusing each other of sponsoring chaos during public barazas, rallies and funerals.
Ichung'wah maintained that his side will remain focused on implementing its pledges and allowing its work to speak, adding that noise cannot overshadow results on the ground.
Separately, he addressed concerns over the registration of foreign nationals running enterprises in Kenya, explaining that compliance with immigration and business laws is essential for proper planning and safety.
He dismissed claims that the exercise is discriminatory, stating that it is a routine state function practiced globally to maintain order and security.
"We welcome everyone who comes to Kenya legally to do business. But everyone must comply with the law. Registration is not about targeting a community; it is about knowing who is in the country and protecting both individual and national security," Ichung’wah said.
He emphasized that knowing who lives and operates businesses in Kenya helps government to plan better, enforce tax compliance and protect both citizens and law-abiding investors.
Ichung’wah at the same time encouraged women leaders in Kirinyaga to champion peace, fact-based discussions and community development, noting that women bear the greatest brunt when politics turns chaotic and when public services collapse.
