Sifuna’s New Political Formation Will Focus on National Values
Speaking during the unveiling of Edwin Sifuna as a presidential aspirant, Omondi said the country's national anthem provides a vision based on peace, justice, unity, liberty and prosperity.
Nairobi, Kenya - On October 3, Suba South MP Caroli Omondi introduced Edwin Sifuna as the new leader and presidential candidate of a political movement set to run in the 2027 general election. During Sifuna's introduction, Omondi outlined the party's objective to establish a platform for their vision for Kenya.
According to Omondi, the new political entity will focus on promoting national values, despite some criticisms. He stated that "when our leader Edwin Sifuna talks of values, others castigate him, because they don’t understand that great nations are built on values, not on brick and motor."
Omondi elaborated on the party's aim to build structures and implement programs aimed at unifying Kenyans across generations. He emphasized that while Kenya has experienced growth since gaining independence, the country is yet to fully realize its national dream. He referred to the national anthem's call for a nation built on peace, justice, unity, liberty, and prosperity for all.
However, Omondi highlighted Kenya's current state as one of inequality, with the economy benefiting the few rather than the many, and rampant corruption stealing opportunities from every generation. He also pointed to tribalism as a destructive force that undermines the country's unity and the spirit of the national anthem.
Omondi identified inequality, corruption, and tribalism as the main challenges facing the nation. He assured that the new formation would address these issues, aiming to promote national unity and uphold the country's national values. Sifuna was announced as the party's presidential candidate for the 2027 polls.
