A Covenant with Webuye West
Called by God. Targeted by Darkness. Destined to Lead.
My dear people of Webuye West, I write not merely as a candidate seeking office, but as a son of this soil carrying a burden that has refused to leave my heart. I have watched our people work hard and receive too little. I have watched young people finish school only to return home to unemployment, farmers sell produce at painful prices, traders fight for survival and families postpone treatment because sickness has become another form of punishment.
The next election must be more than a contest of names, clans, money and motorcades. It must be a serious decision about the future of our children and the dignity of every household.
I am not asking Webuye West to hire a political celebrity. I am asking you to choose a servant, a builder and a watchman over your future.
When I say “Called by God,” I am accepting responsibility, not announcing a crown. When I say “Targeted by Darkness,” I mean corruption, fear, tribal manipulation, violence, greed and hopelessness—not political opponents. When I say “Destined to Lead,” I claim no entitlement to your vote; I mean that work, wounds and experience have prepared me to carry responsibility.
Born Here. Building Here. Ready to Fight for Here.
Every morning, a graduate sends another application, a mother opens her shop and calculates school fees, a farmer worries about input prices, and a manufacturer looks at power bills, credit and regulation. These are not statistics to Steve. They are the daily realities of home.
His case for leadership rests on roots, but not roots alone. Manufacturing experience has placed him inside the challenge of raising capital, buying machinery, securing premises, connecting power, transporting materials, managing cash flow and creating jobs.
Webuye West does not merely need someone who can describe unemployment; it needs someone who understands what creates employment.
The agenda therefore begins with industry, agriculture, local value addition, SMEs, practical skills, infrastructure and digital opportunity—supported by the real constitutional work of Parliament.
Bring voter registration closer to Webuye town
Steve formally requested IEBC to deploy scheduled mobile voter-registration services to an accessible location in Webuye town, supplementing the constituency office in Bokoli Ward.
The request argues that transport costs, time away from work and travel into the interior create practical barriers for first-time voters, casual workers, small traders and persons with disabilities. It asks IEBC—not campaign volunteers—to staff and control the service.
A right may exist in law yet remain difficult to exercise when the service through which it is realised is not reasonably accessible.
Clarity on boundaries and a lawful path for Webuye Central
In a detailed letter to IEBC, Steve requested a public legal position on the outstanding boundary review and the constitutional basis for proceeding with the 2027 election using boundaries last comprehensively reviewed in 2012.
He also asked for formal guidance on developing an evidence-based proposal for a Webuye Central constituency, including the relevant population data, maps, community resolutions, submission process and constitutional constraints.
The intervention does not declare the election invalid or claim that a new constituency can simply be announced. It asks the responsible institution to confront uncertainty openly, explain the law and provide citizens with a legitimate participation route.
