Sunday, October 5, 2025 - Former Interior and Education Cabinet Secretary, Fred Matiang’i, has shared how a personal encounter with Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema shaped his political ideology and inspired his decision to run for Kenya’s presidency in 2027.
Speaking on Sunday, October 5th, at the Adventist
Men Organisation (AMO) prayer breakfast held at SDA Church in Lavington,
Nairobi, Matiang’i recounted his 2022 visit to Zambia as Kenya’s special envoy
shortly after Hichilema’s election victory.
“The new President, knowing I was an Adventist like him,
invited me to his home instead of the office.”
“I was cleared by the military and taken directly to his
house,” Matiang’i said.
He described a deeply personal moment where both leaders
sang the hymn “He Leadeth Me” in their native languages, prompting
concern from their security teams.
“One of our NIS officers kept looking, wondering if we were
okay,” Matiang’i recalled with a smile.
Following the hymn, Hichilema gave Matiang’i a tour of his
home, sharing painful memories from his time as an opposition leader.
“He showed me broken windows from past arrests and spoke of
a lawyer who was killed during one of his court appearances,” Matiang’i said.
The experience left a lasting impression.
“I asked him if it was worth it, and he told me he had to
fight for the presidency to do the right thing,” Matiang’i added.
The prayer breakfast, which brought together men of faith
for reflection and mentorship, served as a platform for Matiang’i to reaffirm
his commitment to national transformation and values-driven leadership.
He vowed to uphold justice and integrity if elected
president in 2027.

Let's all come together and only vote for the presidential candidate who will prosecute all odious debts, Missing Eurobonds, stop and refund housing levy, stop SHIF & SHS and return NHIF, Offer free education up to University, Reclaim all parastatals sold by the imbecile kasongo, never pay an odious debts both local and internationally and abolish land rates and lower VAT and PAYE taxes. A candidate with these items on their manifesto is the only one we should only vote for and these are Honourable Senator Omtatah and former Chief Justice Maraga. The rest are assholes no voter should vote for them come 2026/27 presidential election.
These are the only candidates who will deliver our republic of Kenya from these imbeciles who have messed our country since independence to date with kasongo with his primitive handshake idiots.
Omtatah and Marage we will vote for them only, come 2026/27 election.
