Just when the Waluke–Lusaka campaign turf war threatened to become a full season series,politician  Mtu Kazi Benard Waliuba stepped in with a reality check — and no convoy.

Waliuba told off both Sirisia MP John Waluke and Bungoma Governor Ken Lusaka, saying leaders should channel the same energy they spend fighting for campaign steering wheels into improving the lives of the people.

“We are all leaders by right,” Waliuba said, “but the moment you get a position, you turn yourself into a full-time campaigner.”

Then came the uncomfortable question nobody likes answering: Why didn’t you say all this in your manifestos?

Enter MutuKazi.com — no slogans, just work

While politicians argue about who leads who, Waliuba is busy building MutuKazi.com, a non-profit platform designed to link Kenyans to jobs and business opportunities for free, with plans to expand into training locally and internationally.

No rallies. No T-shirts. Just work.

Waliuba says he will personally drive awareness, counselling, motivation and practical material to make the platform work — declaring an all-out war on poverty “with every fibre” in him.

The People’s Watchman, not a campaign manager

As Mutu Kazi prepares to launch its bid, Waliuba says he remains the people’s watchman, not a political referee.

On governance, his message is refreshingly untribal:
“Let us support the government to develop our people and infrastructure. The government is the biggest exchequer — fighting it doesn’t build roads or put food on tables.”

And on vision? He didn’t shy away.

“Singapore is possible,” he said, insisting that inclusivity, honesty and collective effort can turn the myth into reality.

“After all,” he paused, “who wouldn’t want to live in Singapore?”

Mbele Kuzuri — more than a slogan

His slogan “Mbele Kuzuri” — loosely, tomorrow is better — isn’t campaign poetry.

It’s a reminder that hope, action and responsibility can coexist.

As Waluke and Lusaka argue over who the president didn’t appoint, Waliuba is quietly asking a harder question:
Who is actually building something for the people?

In a season full of political noise, Mutu Kazi’s message lands softly — and sharply:
Less drama. More delivery.
