ON THE NAIROBI GOVERNORSHIP



ON THE BATTLE FOR THE NAIROBI GURBENATORIAL SEAT
Nairobi being the focal point of all the county politics, the only county with the most number of aspirants. The problem is that Nairobi is like a hot cake, everyone wants to have a bite, and it’s yummy but too hot for the mouth. Save for swallowing

The entrance of water and sanitation cabinet secretary Eugene Wamalwa is a well calculated political move by the Jubilee power brokers. Apparently the largest community in Nairobi or is it in Kibira- the Luyha community- are being positioned in the Jubilee frying pot. It is funny that the ODM political rebels united clandestinely with their stray Jubilee counterparts are being made a false promise of capturing the Nairobi gubernatorial seat.

The Jubilee camp alone is full of spirants eying the same position from, Johnson Sakaja, to Margaret Wanjiru to Mike Sonko Mbuvi to Dennis waweru, Anne Waiguru, just to mention but a few . It is almost impossible that Eugene Wamalwa can be handed over, on a silver platter, this post despite opting to dissolve his party prematurely to impress and perhaps endear himself to the Jubilee power brokers.

The sad truth is that the Luyha community has no portion of the Jubilee cake, may be the biblical under table crumbles that Lazarus ate happily. The endorsement of water minister as the preferred jubilee contestant for Nairobi governorship is a political gimmick, ostensibly meant to hoodwink Luyha voters to voting for President Uhuru Kenyatta. And has nothing to do with Eugene’s ambitions, ethnic inclusivity or building a party with a nationwide outlook and structure. Unfortunately Nirobians are no longer fools to be carried as fools.

A FEW PICKS ABOUT VALENTINE AND BROKEN HEARTS.

I have been following on Valentine's day heartbreaking escapades of what sacrifices guys made for the sake of love, and am left in a reality limbo. The question that rings in my mind is is if indeed love exists? A man braced himself for a two year jail term sentence for an offence which was perpetrated by his lover. Sadly the girl who stole from her father a good amount of money went ahead to incriminate her husband after they had agreed the husband would come in to stand in for his wife in prison. By the time the guy was released from incarceration his love had left him. In a separate incidence a lady boycotted their wedding, broke a relationship two days to the wedding, fled and eloped with a white German man. It happened that two days to the wedding, one of the brides maid called the groom who was far from the wedding venue, telling him the wedding was bound not to be. The groom got concerned,,travelled down south to interrogate the issue one on one. When he found the bride,...

THE STRUGGLE OF THE LUO NATION.

HOW THE LUO MANTLE NEVER SAW THE LIGHT OF DAY Although, Thomas Joseph Odhiambo Mboya was never among the Kapenguria six or the prominent Mau-mau fighters, who were passionate to defend their ancestral land to the last drop of their blood; he played the most fundamental role in the clamor for Kenya’s independence. His was an epic monumental activism that must have been the invisible force which pushed the imperialists to full conviction to relinquish African land.   The Kapenguria six were arrested by the colonial government as the luminaries of the Mau mau rebellion, and were incarcerated in Kapenguria for 9 years. Among the six was Ramogi Achieng Oneko. Who was born in Tienga village Uyoma sublocation, the year 1920. Alongside other Mau-mau fighters he is credited with the invincible feat of Kenyas independence in 1963, through his critical role in their uprising. The then prime minister, Jomo Kenyatta appointed him to the portfolio of minister for information, broadcas...

ELECTIONS ARE EVIL HENCE THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD

THE TROUBLE WITH KENYAN ELECTIONS The current legal stalemate bedeviling the country can be attributed to reluctance on the part of Kenyan institutions to adhere to the rule of law. The chief culprit is the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission and the government. Jubilee party has merged with the state so that the country is not ruled by the Jubilee government but by the Jubilee party. The party even controlling an independent IEBC This diabolic precedence started way back in 2013 when Jubilee, not in a free and fair manner, rigged their way to statehouse.   The Supreme Court then did not make satisfactory findings, though the petitioner accepted the verdict. Since then the party had been choreographing another rigging scheme. Although democracy entails the decision of the majority to prevail, Jubilee has taken advantage to exercise tyranny. The government rules its own way independent of the wishes of the people. Even annihilating and trampling the law more o...
