HOW THE EXIT OF HON KIGANO WILL SHAPE KANGEMA PARLIAMENTARY CONTEST?

 It is now clear that Hon Muturi Kigano CBS , MP Kangema and Chair JLAC will not in the ballot come August 9th to defend his seat either on a Jubilee Party ticker or as an independent candidate. His eyes are not trading in National Politics. His supporters have been waiting for him to give the political directions especiallyon Kangema parliamentary seat but he has decided to take another direction. The direction he has taken was communicated yesterday in Kangema Empowerment Hall where hundreds of parents , guardians and education stakeholders had convened there to pick Kangema NG CDF bursary cheques.

Hon Kigano was not present since he wasn't feeling well after a week long tour of US , where his Justice and Legal Affairs Committee ( JLAC) was there for official duties. Residents who where in Kangema Empowerment Hall were heavily expectant on the political direction Hon Kigano would want them to take now that Jubilee Party in its prerogative issued the CERTIFICATE to Hon George Kibuku. They felt shortchanged. In their thinking , they feel it would be just for Hon Kigano to lose at the ballot and not in a boardroom. Since that is past us now , they wanted him to give them the way forward. In a communique which he had sent through his Constituency Manager , he categorically said that , he will not endorse anyone. It is in their descretion to elect the person they feel will work for them and represent their interests in the 13th Parliament.

So far , Kangema Parliamentary seat has attracted the following aspirants ; George Kibuku ( Jubilee Party) , Simon Karema ( TSP) , Juliah Chege ( DP) , Dr Duncan Githiga ( CRP) , Milka Kamau ( Independent) and Peter Kihungi ( UDA). So far , the contest is kind narrowing down between Kibuku and Kihungi. In this Zuckerberg streets and on the ground , their supporters are kind going after each other jagular. Am ain't saying the other aspirants are inconsequential in as far as the contest is concerned but the truth is , the local politics are being shaped by the national politics which is between Azimio la Umoja and Kenyaa Kwanza Alliance.

With Hon Kigano telling his supporters to do a serious soul searching ( Uteuzi wa moyo) , the contest is now open for anyone to win , what will matter at this point in time is strategies and the power of persuasion. As I have posited , national politics will play a very vital role. In that hall yesterday , there were more than 500 people who were drawn from all the sub locations in Kangema. Now thst hon Kigano didn't give them a particular political direction to follow , the conversation after those people retreated to their homes will shape the Kangema parliamentary contest drastically. Those who have been following Kangema parliamentary seat contest since the demise of the late Hon John Michuki resonates well with what am putting forward. 

Those who were present yesterday , the biggest composition was that of organic voters. This are people who , you can't tilt their Political believes and decisions using monetary persuasion. This are people you need to talk to by bringing forward your manifesto which they will scrutinize it and see where it is tallying with their expectations. Fact!!! Now , this are the people who were told to go and make their own political decisions. For those aspirants eyeing Kangema parliamentary seat , whoever will manage to win their hearts and minds , will smile all the way to the August house after 9th August. By Hon Muturi Kigano failing to decide for them in which direction to follow is because , he failed to answer to them the question of what happened? Why didn't the Jubilee Party failed to conduct Nominations? This and many more questions were bombarded on him. How could he have provided the answer? Even if it is me in that situation ,I would have done what Hon Kigano did. Period!!!!


He is exiting Kangema parliamentary seat with his head held high. He has off course left behind indelible marks in many projects he has roled out since 2017 when he took over they NG CDF office. It is upon wanjiku of Kangema to make wise decisions before settling on the person they want to be their next Member of the National Assembly. We are looking forward to see an issue based campaign in Kangema that will zero in on what aspirants will offer to Kangema residents better than him. Instead of personalized attacks and innuendos that doesn't add value between various camp holding brief for their bosses , let's not stoop that low. Let's mature up and tell wanjiku who is expectant on leaders giving her solutions to the problems facing her instead of leaders pointing up problems and offering ZERO solutions.  Make  wise decisions. And remember choices have consequences.

RIGATHI GACHAGUA ; THE TONGUE RASHING RUNNING MATE DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD

Image
Rigathi Gachagua is one individual who , when he puts his tongue into motion , he leaves the hearts of many soiled , both who support Ruto and those who doesn't support him. Is it the time William Ruto should realize he made a very fatal political mistake by picking Rigathi Gachagua? I know he looked his deep pockets , his mobilization skills , his braveness in hurling scathing attacks and disparaging remarks towards the President and his family and to some extent , Kenyatta's close associates. He forgot that , with a microphone , Rigathi is worse than an ISIS militia holding an Rocket Propelled Grenade ( RPG). There is disquiet in UDA and the whole Kenya Kwanza Alliance family. They are angry by the recent Gachagua's outbursts. They are making their work more difficult , extremely very difficult. For every 50 votes they marshall in Ruto's favour , once Gachagua opens his mouth , 40 votes vanish because they don't resonate and agree with his outbursts. Is Ruto telli...

NO NEED OF THREATS; KENYANS ARE JUST MAKING A COMMUNIQUE TO THEIR GOVERNMENT AND LEADERS.

T his afternoon , I have seen a video clip of Uasin Gishu County commissioner Dr Edison Nyale threatening chiefs and their assistant chiefs for not working hard in mobilizing residents in their respective locations and sub locations to attend the Jamhuri Day celebrations that took place yesterday at Kapsoya secondary school ground. From that video , the County Commissioner looks and sounds someone who is agitated, irritated and bitter. Wananchi waliususia mkutano wa Mtemi Bokono. Hivyo basi , Mtemi hakufurahishwa na Jambo Hilo hata kidogo. At the same time , the Governor of Uasin Gishu Hon Jonathan Bii aka Koti moja was present and from his end , he accused the ward co-ordinators for failing to mobilize residents to attend those celebration. It is hilarious to see , the administrative and political wings are blaming people who ought not to be blamed.  Days are gone when the Chiefs act was being used effectively in this Country. We in the new century and generation. You cannot apply...

WHY THE CHURCH HAS LOST IT ALL?

Image
  T he church of late has found itself in the receiving end. It has auctioned the pulpit it should be protecting it , they have offered it to the political elites. Today , it is very difficult to know , which shepherd is genuinely leading the sheep to the light and the one leading them to the dark. Money laundering has now become rampant in churches. Those who have been in the front to propagate that vice is the clergy and a section of political elites. They organise for fictious projects and tag the cost too high. Since they know their congregants aren't in a position to raise it , their pastors/ vicars/ reverends/ Fathers organise for a church fundraise and invite leading politicians who inturn bring the monies in liquid form and not through cheque. If the real cost of the project is sh 2.5 Million , they will ensure that fundraise gets more than that amount. The church will take its share and the other , they give back to the politicians to engage in another business like that. ...
