In his post, Mosiria drew a direct parallel between politicians who dish out money and business investors, arguing that the two operate on the same logic.
He called for a fundamentally different kind of leader, one who would advocate for abolishing the Constituency Development Fund and consolidating bursary allocations into a single, professionally managed system that guarantees every child access to quality education.
He also called for free and universally accessible healthcare, and for elected officials to concentrate on their constitutional role of oversight rather than controlling development budgets.
Mosiria also turned his attention to the role of younger Kenyans in shaping electoral outcomes. He credited the late President Mwai Kibaki's administration with producing a generation of educated, informed citizens capable of independent thinking, referring to them as "products" of a system that actually functioned.

However, he expressed frustration that many members of this generation choose not to vote, leaving the electoral field to those who have been conditioned to equate handouts with leadership.
He argued that powerful political investors have a deliberate interest in keeping voters dependent and uninformed.
Mosiria closed his post with a direct appeal, urging Kenyans not to exchange their long-term future for short-term cash.
