Onyonka Lists 10 Critical Issues Kenya Kwanza Government Must Address
Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka has presented a 10-point agenda that the Kenya Kwanza government should prioritize to address growing public dissatisfaction with its performance.
Key Demands for Government Action
In a statement on social media platform X, Onyonka argued that addressing these issues would naturally foster national cohesion without resorting to coercive measures currently being employed by the administration.
The senator’s comprehensive list includes:
- Full implementation of the NADCO report
- Inclusivity in governance
- Protection and strengthening of devolution
- Economic investment in youth programs
- Upholding integrity in leadership
- Safeguarding the right to peaceful assembly
- Audit and reduction of national debt
- Intensified fight against corruption
- Responsible resource management
- Protection of people’s sovereignty
“A nation that is not able to look at itself in the eye and pick the dots of their shortcomings will not be able to pick itself. These are the basic BARE MINIMUMS that Kenyans look up to…” – Senator Richard Onyonka
Alignment with Ruto-Raila Agreement
Onyonka’s demands echo the 10-point Memorandum of Understanding signed by President William Ruto and opposition leader Raila Odinga on March 8, 2025. The bipartisan agreement focused on similar national priorities including:
- Implementation of NADCO recommendations
- Promotion of inclusive governance
- Addressing Kenya’s debt crisis
- Youth empowerment programs
- Anti-corruption measures
The senator emphasized that addressing these fundamental issues would automatically create the “cohesion, lawfulness, and discipline” that the government currently struggles to achieve through forceful means.
