Dear Mūrang'a County voter and resident , the elections for gubernatorial seat is around the corner , poops!!! No, the election has already taken the corner. From Gatanga all the way to Mathioya Constituencies , residents are gearing up to vote for the next County Governor. The current Governor is completing his 10 years in office. The question is , has he lived to your expectations? Has he fulfilled all the promises he made back in 2013 and 2017 when he both vied for a fresh mandate and defended his seat successfully? Now , the moment to make very critical decision is here with us. A litany of gubernatorial candidates are coming to us to woo as to vote for them so they repressed and safeguard out interests.

Dear Mūrang'a County resident , so far , Mūrang'a County Goverment has received more than 65 B shillings since 2013 . This County has a cumulative of 7 sub Counties , namely ; Gatanga , Kandara , Kigumo , Maragwa , Kiharu , Mathioya and Kangema. With a population of close to 600K people , it is high time to make right and correct decision. We have suffered in this current County Government and if you hear someone glorifying it , he/she has been and accomplice , an appendage , a sympathizer and a partner in crime of the economic atrocities it has committed to the residents of Mūrang'a County. In the 1980's and early 1990's , Mūrang'a District through the Mūrang'a Municipal Council was lending money to the national government. Yes!!!  The KANU regime feared the tycoons and politicians who hailed from this County because of their financial power.  President Moi knew , he who commands and influences Economic decisions has the capacity and power to influence politics of the Nation.

In Mūrang'a County , the ten years of devolution has gone to waste. Fact!! The most painful thing is , the next GOVERNOR will start from ZERO. He doesn't have a platform to start from and he should kind psychologically and emotionally prepared for that. As I type this , out health care in Mūrang'a County is in High Dependancy Unit (HDU). If you think what am saying not correct , visit your nearest goverment dispensary or level 3 hospital , you will experience the most torturous moments. Psychologically distressing at its best and no one seems to care. The other horrifying and heart breaking thing is , the former CEC health is vying Mūrang'a gubernatorial seat. My question is , how will he tell you Wanjiku and the pain you have gone through in the hands of medics who had no other option but to prescribe you drugs to purchase in chemists / pharmacist out in your shopping centres.

Dear Mūrang'a resident , look at the status of the Early Childhood Development and Development (ECDE) near you. How is its status? Is it pleasing at all bearing in mind , County Government is the one which is expected to look at its affairs? I know the answer you have in mind. It is not convincing at all because , those facilities are hallowing and deplorable to say the least.  That's why am calling upon the voter to make sober decision devoid of emotions and feelings. Let that political party euphoria not to blind you. There was someone who was a Senator for five years. He is vying for the gubernatorial seat and the question is , did he perfom his duties as expected as a Senator? There is one who was in the ministry of Water and Sanitation , did he performed his duties as expected?There was one who was a former MP  and a Minister during the grand coalition Government. All this will be coming to woo you to give them your votes. Listen to each and every one manifesto. Is it realistic or populistic in nature? Will it write off the predicaments Mūrang'a County residents have gone through in a painful manner? In the whole Mt Kenya region , our County can only be used as a bench mark as an example of  how devolution shouldn't be runned and how corruption to inhibit development in County governments.

The ball in your court as a voter. You will enticed with HANDOUTS but I beseech you not to reason with your stomachs but rather , use your brains and hearts. Put your vote to someone who wull use your resources in the right manner. Each financial year , Mūrang'a County receives sh 6.5 B from the National Government. The question is , from where you are seated , have this monies had a positive impact to you as an individual? When you seat down and take an audit , have the current Regime led by Governor Wairia impacted you? Apart from Nyota zetu educational scholarship , in other sectors of the economy where the County Goverment was expected to act especially matters agriculture , have you benefitted?

Who will return Mūrang'a County to its former glory Economically? The only way is to elect a Governor who will be more of a manager and not a politician? We don't have slay kings and populists the likes of former Governors of Nairobi and Kiambu Counties who rode on it and successfully clinched those seats but later , what happened? Premium tears of agony from the residents of those Counties. In Nairobi County , president UHURU came to the rescue of the residents through NMS. In Kiambu , MCAs had no option but to impeach Waititu.  In Mūrang'a County , we should avoid taking that route. As I conclude , dear Mūrang'a County resident , vote for a leader and not the political party which it has sponsored him. It is that simple and always remember this , CHOICES always 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. ...
