“Nitakuwepo” is the most inspiring phrase that I have heard since Obama's “yes I can”.
A direct translation of Nitakuwepo is: I will be there. But if put in context the correct translation would be: “you can count on me” or “I will live up to my role”.
The only less charming thing about this inspiring phrase is
that it was a campaign by the kenyan government a couple of years back. It is no
secret the government hasn’t been the best of friends,but let’s give credit
where it is due this phrase inspires me.
‘Yes you can count on me’ is a promise I desire to make. It is a song I want to sing. A phrase I want you to read at the back of my T- shirt.

Experience and books of wisdom have taught me to be careful
with what i promise, my record hasn’t
helped this. I will understand if some are skeptical of a promise from me to be there, personally for a
moment I thought that I can’t make this promise, at least not in the public. But I will, because I know that I know that nitakuwepo.
