Award-winning media personality Lynn Ngugi has declared her support for former Chief Justice David Maraga in the presidential race.
Ngugi noted that Maraga’s solution to Kenya’s challenges makes sense, adding that she believes Kenyans are dealing with a system that is broken to the core.
“At some point, we are going to have to publicly vouch for a leader we believe in and for me, that person is former Chief Justice David Maraga. And this is not about who is trending or making the most noise. It’s about what actually makes sense for this country right now. We are dealing with a system that is broken at the core,” She stated on X on Thursday, March 26, 2026.
Why Maraga stands out for Lynn Ngugi
She noted that rather than selling miracles and grand promises, the former CJ has accurately diagnosed Kenya’s problem and is offering a simple, yet realistic solution: fix the broken system.
“What stands out to me about Maraga is simple: he is not selling us miracles. He is saying, fix the foundation first!
The media personality listed rule of law, respect for the constitution, independent institutions and actual consequences for corruption as messages that deeply resonate with her, revealing that they are the solution to the country’s challenges.
“That might not sound exciting, but if we are being honest, that is exactly what Kenya is bleeding from. You cannot fix the economy when money is being stolen. You cannot fix healthcare when systems are looted. You cannot fix education when leadership has no accountability,” Ngugi added.
Maraga’s record
Touching on Maraga’s record while serving as the CJ, Ngugi noted that he has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the law stands above power.
“For once, here is someone saying, let’s deal with the root. And we have seen him before. When he was Chief Justice, he made decisions that were not popular, but they were right. He showed that the law can stand above power. That matters!” She added.

She called for honest conversations about leadership choices as the country inches closer to the 2027 elections, noting that voters will need to sift through the empty political rhetoric and make their choice.
“We have to start being honest about the kind of leadership we want. For me, I choose someone who understands that without accountability, nothing else works. That is why I am backing David Maraga.
