AN OPEN LETTER TO KANGEMA CONSTITUENTS.


Dear Kangema residents who are gearing up to participate in the upcoming August 9th general elections. You will be given six ballot papers , starting with that of Member of the County Assembly ( MCA) to that of the president. Allow me to domicile myself on that of Member of the National Assembly. So far , Kangema parliamentary seat has attracted the following contestants :
1. Peter Kihungi
2. George Kibuku
3. Simon Karema
5.  Julia Nyokabi
6. Duncan Githiga
7. Milka Njeri 

Am ain't here to tell you thr best candidate you will vote to represent you in the August house. All I want to beseech you not to employ emotions and feelings when voting for the next Kangema MP. This is the most important seat that will directly connect you with the National Government irrespective of whether it is Kenya Kwanza Alliance Presidential candidate William Ruto will win or Azimio la Umoja one Kenya Alliance coalition party presidential candidate Raila Odinga. Dear Kangema resident , don't be hoodwinked by the part euphoria but elect an individual's person abilities and character. You must employ a hawk eye and a razor sharp reasoning and thinking.

I heard people trying to pull this hilarious card that , thru wi employ the North -South political card that will influence the voting pattern. That is , the Muguru Ward to the South aganaist the Rwathia and Kanyenya-ini wards in North. This is retrogressive and archaic thinking. Kangema is one , stretching from marimira to Irima , from Mugechi Kaboro to Ichichi to Wanjerere. It won't be divided along such fiefdoms. If the next MP will come from Muguru ward or Rwathia or Kanyenya-ini , he/she will serve the over 85000 residents without fear , favor or illwill  This is the kind of reasoning Kangema residents should have in mind. Let all the candidates sell their manifestos and promises to wanjiku of Kangema. That's the only way to win the hearts and minds. All the other things are neither here nor there. Wanjiku , I know you are very expectant from the many  promises that this aspirants are giving to you. At this point in time , do a vers serious vetting on this aspirants. Don't vote for someone because you are sympathetic to them or you come from a humble background. If you use that as a parameter and a yardstick to elect an MP , you will get a ride shock post 2022.

Dear Wanjiku , am ain't writing to you an epistolary letter like the one St Paul wrote to Galatians , Thessalonians , Philippians and so on , am writing this to talk to your inner self. I know as this juncture , there is a conflict between your outer self and your inner self that's why , if I ask you whom will you vote for as your MP based on what he/she has promised you that they will do , definitely , you will not give me an answer , a concrete one for that matter. But if I ask you whom will you vote for based on party or Coalition affiliation , you will give you an automatic answer. Just like the former Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu once said , " What is popular is not always what is right." This point is very important and if you keep it close to your chests , you won't derail from the core function expecting of you as a voter.

Every Constituency receives sh 130 million per fiscal year. How this kitty will be used depends on the kind of thr staff the elected MP will put in that NG CDF office. If he/she will bring dafts and cunning individuals who were concentrate in filling their bellies , then , don't expect any tangible results. That's will be the genesis of your predicaments from the word go. Who will be put as the CDF board is also a factor , this are the people who will be mapping which projects will be prioritized on. NG CDF kitty covers the following key areas:

1. Education
2. Security
3. Sports

The role of the Member of the National Assembly is to :

i. To oversight
ii. To represent

Buy there is something very important that Wanjiku of Kangema should know is , Parliament is a very important Institution which the other arms of thr government , that is , Judiciary and Executive depends on. Apart from the projects that NG CDF kitty is slated to cover , the creativity and wittiness of the MP will depend how he/she will be going about. Projects are lobbied in the National Assembly departmental committees and not in thr floor of that house. Your MP can be a good debater but when it comes to lobbying for development projects from the national government he/she scores a zero. Communication skills and intelligentsia of thst person will be at play. How he/she will be able to mobilize , socialize and quick to grasp nitty gritty .

In conclusion , dear Wanjiku , just be sober.  Make the right decisions. This is what you and your children will depend on. You make a wrong turn and everything will be elephant for you. The issue of bursary application and allocation has for a long time been a hot potato in Kangema Constituency. Fact!!! This is something we should play the politics of an ostrich on. So , that's why am rallying you to make the right decisions. Take each and every candidate. Scrutinize them in deep without employing a biased eye especially looking at the political party that candidate is using to vie for that seat. If you do so , all will be fine. Take time to make the right decision.



Yours faithfully

Mwihaki Hegel Fredrick.

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.

Image
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. ...
