ABOUT ANTHONY MUREITHI I was born on September 9th 1986, into a low profile family of Mureithi wa Master as popularly known. I attended my primary school at Rwang’ondu Primary, Kagio Primary school and Kirinyaga township Primary school in Kerugoya, where I sat for my KCPE and passed to Join Njumbi High school In Murang’a District where I sat for my KCSE certificate. I graduated with a Higher diploma in computer Engineering at Kiambu Institute of Technology in 2006. Later 2006, I joined Info Tech training college in Nairobi where I did my Microsoft certification courses. In 2007, I left Kenya and landed in Botswana for business.

I did not participate in the disputed elections of 2007, where scores of people lost their lives and hundreds of thousands left homeless. This election awoke me up; it motivated me to contest for parliamentary seat in Ndia come 2012. I have always had a dream for our people and our nation of Kenya as well. Back in college at Kiambu Institute of Science and Technology, I was elected as the secretary general of the students’ union during my first 6 months in college. For my election, the union’s constitution had to be changed to suit me since I did not qualify to be part of the students’ union. For me to be part of students’ union, I must have been a member of the school for at least 2 years. This was as a result of my aggressiveness in school, by voicing for the voiceless and seeking justice and equality for all.

In Botswana, I became a businessman, running my own private company. As I did my business, I was more motivated to see how things are run in a country that knows no tribalism and ethnicity. A country that serves all with equality, a country that tolerates no corruption-in short a government of the people, by the people and for the people. Politically, in Botswana, freedom of expression is at large, youth representation in parliament and government is as well heavily recognized. Seeing this I became more and more motivated in going back home to spread the sweet message that I learnt in a country that knows nothing more but prosperity. I was invited by the Namibia High commissioner in Botswana to an event that celebrated the 20 years of independence at a Botswana hotel. Here I met scores of key profile people in the world. I got a chance of face to face talk with ministers from Botswana and Namibia, Ambassadors and high commissioners from different countries of the world. My aim was to research on the system of governance from these representatives (Ambassadors and High Commissioners). From this event I learnt a lot and gave me morale to contest for that public office in Kenya.

I believe I represent the youth, the voiceless youths in Kenya. The old times are gone and new times have come, where we no longer depend on the ‘old’ ones to serve us but us ourselves. Long gone are days where we were convinced that we are the leaders of tomorrow! And I believe that time is now for us to take a stand and strive our country to the Promised Land. I have been touched, especially most recently by the desire to leave the world a better place, than I found it. This desire has been growing day by day! And this has been led by the situation in Ndia constituency and my country as well. I am running for parliamentary seat because I believe through politics, I will strongly influence the changes that affect our lives as Kenyans. I feel that I have got a strong stake of stopping the leaders who promise hope and change, but once elected, they just end up pursuing their own interest and not serving the Kenyans. Ndia constituency is one of them, and so does more than half of Kenya! I believe in people's voice because people's voice is power!

I am currently pursuing Law at Gaborone University College of Law.
