January 19, 2017 marked two years after Kenyans reclaimed a public playground. Pupils of Lang'ata Primary School continue to use their playground as a result of #OccupyPlayGround, a clear example of what a united people can achieve. I have always challenged our leaders for their bad decisions and poor governance. I have done this as an active citizen and a patriot. It is time to take the fight to Parliament, where we, the people, need our voice heard.
We need to cut down on the so-called 'privileges' of parliamentarians. We need to ensure the delivery of basic constitutional rights to the people of Kenya. A reduction of these privileges can be actualised if we all demand that those vying in 2017 be willing to take a 50 per cent pay-cut, have no bodyguards and receive no free car grant.
