Uasin Gishu County Assembly Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) have strongly condemned the recent wave of abductions in Kenya, calling for swift action against those responsible and urging respect for leaders.
Led by Ngenyilel Ward MCA Benjamin Natui, the MCAs expressed concern over the disturbing trend of abductions, asserting that such actions must be halted. “We will not allow these abductions to continue. Those responsible should be arrested and face the full force of the law,” Natui said. He also appealed to the youth to show respect towards leaders, cautioning against the use of offensive language and behavior, particularly on social media. “It’s unacceptable to see a photo of our president in a coffin. Such actions are not in line with our traditions and values. As youth, let’s discipline ourselves, use social media positively, and avoid disrespecting others, especially our leaders,” Natui added.
Simat Kapseret Ward MCA Moses Kebenei echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing that it is wrong for the government to abduct young people. He insisted that if any youth commit a crime, they should be arrested and subjected to due process in the courts of law. “The government must respect the legal process. If someone is guilty of an offense, they should face the law, but abductions are not the solution. It’s important that those found guilty of cybercrimes or any criminal act are prosecuted,” Kebenei stated.
Kebenei also urged parents to be vigilant in caring for their children, encouraging them to raise their children with discipline and respect for the law. He emphasized the importance of constructive criticism, urging the public to engage in positive discourse with the government and leaders. “As citizens, we have a right to hold our leaders accountable, but it’s important that we criticize them positively. The 2026 election is fast approaching, and it will be a time for leaders to show their scorecards,” he said.
The MCAs also addressed the role of social media in shaping public opinion, urging users not to indulge in negative criticism or hate speech. “Kenya is a democratic nation with an open internet. Unlike some countries, such as Uganda, where the government controls the internet, our democracy thrives on the free exchange of ideas. Let’s protect our democracy and avoid using the internet for divisive purposes,” Kebenei concluded.
Regarding the ongoing demonstrations, the MCAs called for peaceful protests, urging the youth to follow proper procedures and obtain permits before taking to the streets. “We must protest in a way that does not harm people or destroy property. Let’s avoid vandalism and ensure that our actions remain peaceful,” Natui added.
The leaders thanked President William Ruto for his commitment to stopping abductions, expressing hope that the government would take swift action to address the issue and ensure the safety of all citizens.
The MCAs’ statements reflect growing concerns within the county over the recent abductions and the need for a balanced approach to governance, justice, and the protection of fundamental rights.  Read More 

  By Ken Okwara, Entrepreneur CoachThe pursuit of financial success is not an overnight endeavor, but a carefully orchestrated journey that requires dedication, strategy, and most importantly, action. If you are serious about achieving financial freedom and securing your future, the next decade can be a transformative period, provided you embrace a few crucial steps. I have outlined five fundamental actions that will accelerate your growth, both personally and financially. These steps are designed to reshape your mindset, skills, and opportunities, setting you up for long-term prosperity.1. Relocate from Your Hometown: Step Outside the Comfort ZoneOne of the first and most powerful moves you can make is to leave behind the familiar confines of your hometown. We are shaped by our surroundings—our experiences, social circles, and education. While these factors contribute to who we are, they can also limit our potential. Relocating forces you to confront new challenges, broaden your horizons, and engage with a more diverse group of people. By stepping into unfamiliar environments, you position yourself to encounter opportunities and realities that will accelerate your personal growth and broaden your business acumen.2. Cultivate Relationships with Influential IndividualsYou are the sum of the people you surround yourself with. That’s why building relationships with influential individuals should be a priority in your journey toward financial success. But before you dive into high-level networking, focus on self-care. Present yourself as someone who is worthy of attention—wear well-fitted clothing, invest in quality footwear, maintain a stylish haircut, and ensure you always leave a lasting impression with your scent.Once you’ve refined your image, strategically engage in spaces where influential individuals gather. Attend conferences, exclusive bars or clubs, high-end fitness centers, and make use of online platforms to expand your network. The connections you form in these circles could open doors to business ventures, partnerships, and mentorship opportunities that will propel you toward success.3. Exercise Five Times a Week: Health is WealthHealth is the foundation of any successful endeavor. If you cannot commit to improving your physical health, how can you expect to achieve financial success? Exercise is not just about aesthetics—it’s about discipline, endurance, and focus. Commit to a consistent exercise routine that includes:300 push-ups200 squatsPlank exercisesMountain climbersDedicate at least 40 minutes a day, five days a week, to these exercises. Over time, your body will become stronger, but more importantly, you’ll develop the mental resilience required for success in any venture. A healthy body supports a sharp mind, and that’s the greatest asset on your journey to wealth.4. Acquire a High-Income Skill: Make Yourself IrreplaceableIn today’s economy, a degree alone will not secure your financial future. Instead, you need to acquire a high-income skill—something that sets you apart from the competition and positions you as an expert in a specific field. The key is simplicity: choose one skill, immerse yourself in learning, and practice it relentlessly.Here are five high-income skills to consider mastering:Coding: Become proficient in programming languages that are in high demand.Marketing: Master digital marketing to help businesses scale and thrive.Video Editing/AI: Content creation is booming—learn how to craft visually engaging videos and understand the use of AI in content.Salesmanship: Master the art of persuasion and selling, a skill that’s essential in any business.Growing a YouTube Channel: With video content taking over, building a YouTube channel can lead to long-term financial success through ads, sponsorships, and other revenue streams.Dedicate yourself to learning through online platforms such as YouTube and practice the skills for 100 days. The more consistent you are, the more valuable your skill will become in the marketplace.5. Master the Art of Investment: Begin with YourselfFinancial success is not just about earning money, but about smartly growing and preserving it. The first investment you should make is in yourself. Prioritize self-care—eat a nutritious diet, invest in quality sleep through proper bedding, and take solo outings for reflection and relaxation. By cultivating a strong foundation for your own well-being, you become better equipped to handle the demands of business and investment.Once you’ve invested in your personal growth, consider expanding your portfolio with:Educational courses that enhance your knowledge.Mentorship programs to gain insights from successful individuals.Appreciating assets such as real estate or stocks.Starting businesses—aim for launching at least 15 ventures over the next decade. Each will provide valuable lessons and income streams.Conclusion: Triumph TogetherThe path to financial success is not easy, but it is entirely within your grasp. By relocating to new environments, cultivating meaningful relationships, investing in your health, acquiring high-income skills, and mastering the art of investment, you’ll place yourself on a trajectory to wealth and fulfillment. It won’t happen overnight, but if you commit to these actions over the next decade, your financial future will look brighter than you ever imagined.Let’s embrace this journey together.
