Safina party and presidential candidate Jimi Wanjigi has stepped up his political engagements, calling for grassroots empowerment and sweeping economic reforms as he continues to position himself for the country’s top seat.
Speaking in Nakuru on Saturday during a meeting with Safina Party delegates, Wanjigi emphasized what he termed the need for “economic liberation” and inclusive governance.
He said Kenya’s national vision must centre on empowering ordinary citizens to actively participate in shaping the country’s political and economic future.
“My only mission is to serve the people of Kenya and I will do it fearlessly as your President,” he said, adding that he considers himself the best candidate to lead the country and is ready to challenge the current administration.
Wanjigi sharply criticized the government’s economic management, particularly the rising public debt, warning that Kenya risks long-term economic stagnation if urgent action is not taken.
He claimed that billions are spent annually on debt servicing, which he described as unsustainable and harmful to national development, calling for decisive steps to address what he termed “odious debt.”
In addition to his remarks in Nakuru, Wanjigi has recently intensified his political mobilization across different regions.
In Murang’a County, he held talks with local delegates in a meeting that reportedly attracted grassroots political figures, including several former MCAs joined his party during the engagement.
The meeting was framed as part of his broader effort to strengthen his political base ahead of next year’s General Election.
He reiterated that his movement is focused on building a people-driven political structure anchored on economic justice, accountability, and inclusivity, insisting that Kenya’s future depends on breaking what he described as cycles of mismanagement and unsustainable borrowing.
Wanjigi maintained that his campaign will continue to expand nationwide through engagement with delegates, youth groups, and local leaders, as he seeks to build momentum for his presidential bid.
He has been in several parts of the country where he has been popularizing his agenda to Kenyans.
