Saboti Member of Parliament Caleb Amisi has issued a candid reflection on Kenya’s political journey, warning that meaningful change will take time, resilience, and sustained public participation.
In a statement shared on Saturday, June 13, Amisi said those pushing for national transformation must be prepared for resistance, criticism, and fatigue along the way, noting that major political revolutions globally began with small but determined groups.
“We do not promise this change in one day. It could take time and there will be noise, naysayers will be many, many will get tired and many will join,” he said. “We will be abused and called names but the journey must begin.”
Amisi emphasized that consistency and honesty remain key pillars for any political movement seeking lasting impact.
He argued that reform efforts often start modestly before gaining momentum as public awareness grows.
“All revolutions started in small tiny alleys with few truthful men and women and spread like bush fire when the nation comes to realisation,” he stated.
The legislator also framed the current political moment as critical for Kenya’s democratic future, warning that failure by the present generation to deliver meaningful change could push younger citizens away from electoral processes.
“We are the last generation to change Kenya through the ballot. If we fail, the next generation Alpha shall definitely lose interest in election and do a revolution,” he warned.
His remarks come amid growing public concern over youth unrest and reports of arson incidents in some learning institutions, which have raised alarm among education stakeholders and security agencies.
Amisi cautioned that such developments should be treated as a signal of deeper societal frustrations that require urgent national attention.
“They have started burning schools; if we do not wake up as a nation and realise something is wrong, they will burn the nation,” he added.
