WHY KANGEMA PARLIAMENTARY CONTEST WILL BE WORTH WATCHING?

 With less than 100 days shy to the August 9th general elections , wanjiku of Kangema will be heading to the ballot to elect her leaders who will serve her for the next 5 years. From the MCA all the way to the presidential slot. With this time wanjiku be confused by the party euphoria like she did back in 2017 general elections or this time round she will put aside her feelings and emotions and use reason to make her decisions? 

Allow me to ventilate on Kangema Parliamentary seat. So far , the incumbent Hon Muturi Kigano will not be in the ballot. Yes!!! He is down but not out. So far , the seat has attracted the following contestants:

1.Hon George Kibuku ( Jubilee Party)

2. Hon Peter Kihungi ( UDA)

3. Hon Simon Karema ( TSP)

4. Hon Duncan Githiga ( CRP)

5. Hon Juliah Chege ( DP)

6. Hon Milka Kamau ( Independent)

Kangema has 3 wards and the most interesting thing is , only Kibuku and Milka Kamau comes from Muguru ward. The rest come from both Rwathia and Kanyenya-ini wards. The voting matrices , combinations and permutations will dictate who will be the next Member of Parliament for Kangema. Strategies will be the key not necessarily the financial muscles. During the UDA nominations in Kangema , this issue of using monetary might was thrown under the bus. Fact!!! 

The other day at Thika Greens were UDA aspirants convened Mūrang'a chapter , Johnson Mukuha pledged to throw his weight behind Peter Kihungi who is flying the UDA ticket. Whether that promise will be actualized only time will tell. On the other hand , Hon Muturi Kigano , CBS has remained cagey on his next move especially the Kangema parliamentary politics. His silent has not only caused confusion but it has left many tongues wagging. Many of his supporters are just feigning a wry smile on their faces. They are waiting for him to give them directions. The question is , will he ( Hon Kigano) give them directions or he will just chicken out and leave them to make their own decisions? 

The North-South factor will be at play. It played back in 2017 during the Jubilee Party nominations. Even now , I can't rule that factor out. So far , wanjiku of Kangema is vowing that she won't vote for a party but an individual. From this end , methinks this should be the right direction to take. The six piece suit won't see the light of the day this time round. Fact!! How aspirants will convince Wanjiku. Resonate with her. Persuade her with tangible promises and not necessarily monetary persuasion will determine who will carry the day.

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. ...
