Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has opened up about the origin of his now viral political slogan ‘noma si noma, fire si fire’
Kindiki has made the phrase his signature line whenever he addresses public gatherings.
It was no different on Wednesday, September 17, during the official commissioning of the Mombasa Commuter Rail Service by President William Ruto.
When he was given an opportunity to address the locals, he used the same phrase, but not before opening up on its origin.
According to Kindiki, the phrase originated from Mining Cabinet Secretary Ali Hassan Joho.
However, he said they had an agreement with the former Mombasa county boss to use part of it.
“I have to confess that this ‘noma si noma’ belongs to my brother, Hassan Joho,” the DP said. “We have agreed with Joho, he will use the ‘noma si noma’, then he leaves the ‘fire si fire’ part for me to use. This is in line with the spirit of our partnership in the broad based government,” he added, jockingly.
Kindiki, went on to use the same slogan, sending the attendees into laughter.

In his speech, the second in command also hinted that the coast region is now fully on board with the government. He noted that most coastal leaders have agreed to support President Ruto’s second term agenda.
On his part, CS Joho also took time to praise the Kenya Kwanza government for taking development to the coastal people.
He said the region is witnessing real development, while at the same time asking the electorate to back Ruto’s re-election bid. Where will Mombasa Commuter Rail Service make stops? The Mombasa Commuter Rail Service, which will make stops at Miritini, Changamwe West, Changamwe East, Shimanzi, Mazeras, and Mombasa CBD, is expected to significantly ease transport challenges in the coastal city.
It will offer passengers a more affordable alternative to the current matatus and taxi options. Currently locals are charged an average of KSh 300 for public transport and KSh 1,000 for a taxi. However, they will only pay KSh 50 to use the new commuter rail service.
