Calls for Respect Amid Rising Criticism
Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has broken his silence over ongoing criticism aimed at the presidency. He stressed that the presidency is more than just a position—it’s a core national symbol that must be respected and protected.
Institutions Are the Backbone of Order
Mudavadi warned that when vital public institutions are weakened, a country risks falling into disorder. He noted that national threats aren’t always physical or external—sometimes, the danger lies in how citizens treat their own systems.
“The real threat to a nation is not only gangs or terrorists. It’s when key institutions are weakened and can’t serve their purpose,” he said.
Speaking candidly, the Prime CS pointed fingers at certain leaders, accusing them of spreading lies to gain political mileage. He warned that when falsehoods dominate public discourse, it creates confusion and damages national trust.
A Culture of Misinformation
Mudavadi said some leaders have made lies part of everyday political life. He criticized the trend where untruths are repeated so often that they start being accepted as fact.
“We must stop turning lies into our daily routine—talking lies, believing lies, even waking up to lies,” he said.
Strengthening Democracy Through Truth
He urged Kenyans to stand up for the truth and protect the structures that support democracy, including the presidency, parliament, and the courts. According to him, these institutions are the cornerstones of peace, growth, and accountability.
A National Appeal Beyond Politics
Mudavadi’s message appeared to be aimed at both the public and political class, urging all parties to rise above divisive politics and focus on national stability. He called on leaders to stop using propaganda for personal gain and instead help build a united and truthful nation.
