My Address to the Nation
Why I Am Vying For Presidency
Presidential manifestos written for every citizen, profession, and age group.
1. My Fellow Kenyans: The Engineering Imperative
My name is Collins Kipkorir Yegon. As a youth born in Machilil Village, raised in Kapgwen, and currently completing my 5th year studying Mechanical and Production Engineering at the University of Eldoret, I stand before you to declare my candidacy for the Presidency of the Republic of Kenya in the upcoming general election.
I am not running to fulfill personal ambition, nor do I belong to the old political class that has recycled promises for decades while our youth languish in unemployment and our households sink deeper into economic hardship. I am vying for the presidency because I believe Kenya is a grand machine—rich in fertile land, blessed with unmatched human talent, and located at the heart of East Africa—yet it is currently operating with broken gears, severe leakages, and zero preventive maintenance.
In engineering, when a system fails to deliver its intended output, you do not simply paint the outside or give eloquent speeches. You diagnose the root causes, replace defective components, eliminate energy loss, and optimize the engine for maximum efficiency. That is precisely what I offer our country: systematic, objective, transparent, and result-oriented governance.
2. An Approachable Government For Every Kenyan
Whether you are a mama mboga in Kibera, a tea picker in Kericho, a university student in Eldoret, a bodaboda rider in Kisumu, a school teacher in Garissa, or a corporate professional in Nairobi—this movement belongs to you. Our political party and platform are built on one simple principle: governance must be understandable, accessible, and accountable to every single citizen regardless of age, tribe, or social status.
We will eliminate the culture of opaque public procurement where taxpayers lose hundreds of billions of shillings every year to corrupt cartels. My administration will introduce an open-source, digitized public financial ledger. Every tender awarded, every shilling allocated to infrastructure, and every disbursement sent to counties will be publicly traceable on a real-time online dashboard accessible on any mobile phone.
3. Industrialization & Youth Production Powerhouses
As a mechanical and production engineer, it breaks my heart to see millions of educated, energetic young Kenyans walking the streets without dignified employment. Kenya cannot build a lasting economy by simply relying on raw commodity exports and importing expensive manufactured goods.
My government will establish 47 County Industrial Tech-Parks specifically tailored to local raw materials. We will manufacture our own agricultural machinery, assemble our own solar panels and electronic devices, process our own food products, and fabricate our own construction materials locally.
By providing tax incentives to local manufacturers, lowering industrial power tariffs through expanded geothermal and solar grids, and reserving 40% of state procurement for youth-led engineering ventures, we will create over 2.5 million direct production jobs within our first three years in office.
4. Restoring Agriculture & Ending Food Insecurity
Agriculture is the backbone of Kenya's economy, yet our farmers are exploited by middleman cartels, high fertilizer costs, and erratic climate conditions. I pledge to treat agriculture as a strategic technology industry.
We will construct solar-powered micro-irrigation networks across all agricultural wards, establish municipal cold-storage warehousing to prevent post-harvest losses, and connect farmers directly to state food reserves and international buyers via digital marketplaces—guaranteed minimum returns for tea, coffee, maize, avocado, sugarcane, and livestock farmers nationwide.
5. Practical Education & Universal Dignity
Education must prepare our children for the modern digital economy. We will overhaul university and TVET curricula to focus heavily on practical engineering, artificial intelligence, renewable energy technologies, and commercial agriculture.
We will make higher education fully funded for STEM and critical skill sectors, convert student loans into interest-free grants upon graduation into public service, and ensure that every public school in Kenya is equipped with solar power and high-speed internet.
6. My Solemn Pledge To You
I offer myself to serve Kenya with complete dedication, humility, and technical focus. I do not come to you with deep pockets or political godfather protection—I come with a clear mind, clean hands, a humble background from Machilil and Kapgkwen, and an unyielding commitment to build a prosperous nation for all of us.
Join me in this movement. Let us stop complaining about bad leadership and start engineering the nation we deserve.
Standing With Me Means Standing For Future Generations
"Together, we will build a transparent, industrialized, and dignified Kenya where no youth is left behind."
— Collins Kipkorir Yegon
