Bullet Bras Evolution || Where did Bullet Bras go to?
In a rare moment of pure inspiration, a young girl standing on the modest stage of Jesus Winner Church in Roysambu turned an ordinary Sunday service into a historic celebration of hope, unity, and progress. Before a congregation that included President William Ruto himself, she delivered a stirring poem titled “Mbele Iko Sawa” weaving words that painted a powerful picture of a united Kenya, a nation led with faith and purpose
With innocent courage and wisdom beyond her years, she spoke of a country that rises above tribal divisions, echoing the very ideals that have challenged Kenya for decades. She praised the president for his steadfast belief in God and his unrelenting push to build a Kenya where no one is left behind. As her voice filled the sanctuary, something profound happened as a room full of Kenyans from all walks of life was reminded why they still believe in the promise of their nation
Far from being just a recital, “Mbele Iko Sawa” became the voice of the people. The young girl highlighted transformative projects such as the Hustler Fund, Affordable Housing, and the Social Health Authority (SHA) which are all initiatives meant to uplift ordinary citizens. But it wasn’t just government programs she referenced as her poem bravely touched on the church's own battles with land ownership
She told of a time when brokers cast doubt on the fate of church funds, leaving worshippers fearful they might lose their place of worship. But thanks to presidential intervention, the church secured its title deed. It was a victory of faith and justice, and the girl’s words ensured it would not be forgotten. As her poem concluded, she invited the congregation to see donations not as a burden but as an opportunity and a blessing to build something greater than themselves
President William Ruto, deeply moved by the young poet’s heartfelt performance, did not merely clap from the front row. In a gesture that will be remembered long after the applause faded, he stood and embraced her, offering his personal congratulations. It was not just the hug of a leader, it was a moment of recognition that sometimes the clearest truths come from the youngest voices
And the president didn’t stop there. He pledged KSh 20 million on the spot to support the church's ongoing construction and promised an additional KSh 100 million. For the worshippers in Roysambu, this was more than charity as it was confirmation that leadership and community can walk hand in hand, and that promises can become tangible progress when people come together in faith and purpose
As news of the poem and the president’s generous contributions spread across the country, social media erupted with praise. Videos of the performance went viral. Kenyans from all regions and backgrounds took a rare moment to set aside political debates and simply admire the brilliance of a child who reminded them what unity could sound like
Many hailed the girl’s poem as a national treasure, urging that such voices be encouraged and amplified. Some even suggested that “Mbele Iko Sawa” be taught in schools as a modern anthem of hope. Others reflected on how such genuine acts of community and leadership are the foundation upon which Kenya’s future must be built
In a country often preoccupied with the conflicts of politics, land, and ethnicity, the young girl’s poem was more than art. It was a timely mirror held up to the nation. She reminded Kenyans that beneath all the noise and struggle, there remains a shared longing for peace, prosperity, and faith in something bigger than oneself
As Kenya pushes forward through the complexities of development, inflation, and governance, the message of “Mbele Iko Sawa” is clear. The road ahead may not be easy, but with unity, vision, and the courage to dream even from the smallest voices, everything will indeed be alright
