At the burial of former Kirinyaga Senator Daniel Karaba, Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka delivered a passionate critique of the political establishment and called for a people-powered revolution and genuine national unity.
At the funeral of former Kirinyaga Senator Daniel Karaba, Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka courageously recounted a personal conversation with former President Uhuru Kenyatta, who once told him, 'Steven, the problem with you is you're too good.' This remark, emblematic of the entrenched elite's cynicism, underscored Musyoka's call for a national revolution. He declared, 'This is not going to be normal,' signaling the urgent need to disrupt the status quo that benefits only the privileged few.
Reflecting on past meetings with progressive leaders such as Raila Odinga, James Orengo, and Anyang' Nyong'o, Musyoka expressed hope for the country's future, inspired by the collective vision for social justice and equity. He stressed the importance of unity—not the hollow unity of political convenience, but one rooted in solidarity and the lessons of past people's struggles—to ensure real progress for all Kenyans, especially the marginalized.
The burial ceremony honored Daniel Karaba, who passed away recently at the age of 77. Karaba was remembered not just for his service as a Member of Parliament for Kirinyaga Central and as the first Senator for Kirinyaga County, but for his unwavering commitment to education and regional development—values often neglected by neoliberal policies. Various leaders and mourners highlighted his legacy as a champion for the people and a symbol of the transformative leadership Kenya desperately needs.
