The Office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary has unveiled The Phantom, a new digital platform and quarterly magazine that captures Musalia Mudavadi’s vision for Kenya while offering citizens a direct line into his leadership journey.

Designed as both an interactive hub and thought-leadership space, The Phantom aims to communicate Mudavadi’s ideas, highlight his extensive public service record, and provide Kenyans with insights into his policy priorities. The platform, developed by the Office’s Press Service, promises to deliver clear, authentic, and inspiring stories that shape public opinion and guide national conversations on governance, economic diplomacy, and sustainable development.

Mudavadi commended his communications team for the initiative and implementation of the Phantom website and quarterly magazine, terming it as an innovation that bridges the gap between leadership and citizens.

“Anchored on the values of ‘The gentleman of Kenyan politics, a liberal democrat, and a safe pair of hands,’ The Phantom is envisioned as more than a publication or a digital platform,” Mudavadi said.

“It represents a space for ideas, dialogue, and exchange- an interactive hub that seeks to amplify Kenya’s voice in economic diplomacy, safeguard our national interests globally, and foster partnerships for trade, investment, and development.”

Mudavadi linked the name Phantom to his early sporting days when he played rugby, hockey, and football while also competing in sprinting and swimming. His swift and tactical presence on the field earned him the nickname Phantom – a name he now embraces as a reflection of his political style that has defined more than three decades in leadership.

“In every edition of The Phantom, a window into my journey will be revealed – anchoring the man behind the title,” he said.

“This will be a space where I will speak directly to the people, not only sharing achievements, but also the dreams and ideals that drive me to serve.”

Mudavadi further said that governments are good at governance but poor at communication. He is hopeful that The Phantom will bridge the gap by giving citizens affordable, transparent, and timely engagement.

“Sometimes, government is good at the business of governing, but not always very good at the business of communicating,” he noted.

“I was pleasantly surprised that the team quietly worked on this project, and I’m impressed by how they have embraced technology to ensure faster and more efficient engagement.”

Beyond reflecting on his past achievements, The Phantom will explore Mudavadi’s role in liberalizing Kenya’s economy as Finance Minister in the 1990s and his contribution to the 2010 Constitution, especially in entrenching devolution.

“This project is not just about looking back. It is also about looking ahead and explaining the thinking behind policy decisions and inviting Kenyans into a more open dialogue about where we are going as a country,” Mudavadi said.

He urged the media to collaborate with his office through The Phantom and assured that public feedback would remain central to its growth, making it a true two-way platform for building a better-informed society.
