Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i has reappeared in the public eye after maintaining a low profile for nearly two years.

Kittony shared on Twitter, “Glad to share our delicious Sirwo Coffee with former Interior CS Fred Matiang’i, who patronized us this morning.” This meeting follows rumors that Matiang’i has enlisted a foreign team to strategize for his presidential bid. Reports suggest that he contracted Dickens & Madson, a Canadian lobbying firm renowned for its role in the success of Botswana’s President Duma Boko. Matiang’i has reportedly committed KSh 32 million to the group to boost his international profile and gather campaign resources.
The news has stirred discussions online. Some Kenyans believe the former CS is positioning himself for a return to government, possibly as a successor to Interior CS Kithure Kindiki. Others speculate he could secure a cabinet role, given his strong ties to former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Matiang’i’s appearance marks a significant moment in Kenya’s political landscape, especially with heightened focus on the 2027 elections. As the narrative develops, one thing is clear—his return has reignited public interest in his political ambitions.
Stay tuned for updates on Matiang’i’s political journey as speculation about his potential presidential run unfolds.
