THE NARRATIVE THAT WILL CONSIGN NAIROBI SENATOR TO POLITICAL DUSTBIN



Ever since Nairobi senator, Mike Sonko handpicked Polycap Igathe from the corporate sector to be his running mate, his popularity has dwindled, albeit on account of his choice running mate. Despite this vignette narrative, that ensued, which casts aspersions on Sonko’s character especially by the elite class, his own political detractors, and competitors;  Sonko has managed to swim against the tide of this miscreant trait tag. His philanthropy and pity for the sufferers has earned him a soft spot in the hearts of the low class city dwellers.
The very first time, Sonko while on national television, hinted he was brainstorming searching for an appropriate, intelligent corporate manager as his running mate to specifically help in the running of Nairobi economy and affairs, that was the point the rain started beating him. By saying so, he was accepting and insinuating he did not possess the requisite competence for the dark heavy ginormous cloud of job hanging over his head. He portrayed a grim, appalling picture of his hands on and knowhow.
So sad how Sonko engineered the narrative now dragging him down as an unqualified, incompetent and worse more, incapable manager. Personally I don’t know how this is possible of a man who has the experience of being a member of parliament and Senator besides, having a bachelor’s degree in business management. I know he was trying to be honest, yet he ought to have made this strategic choice without disclosing it to the media and public. Then he could just rubbish the narrative as some cheap propaganda to be debacled by his government.
Whether he will pull through this one, I highly doubt. It will be an uphill task. Nevertheless, he still has a huge chance to be the governor of Nairobi, if and only if, Jubilee votes will not be scattered between himself and Pk.  The narrative of curing Sonkos inadequacy might not hold any water, since most elite middle class do not even have so much interest in voting like the poor low-class city residents. Their votes count a lot but may not significantly sway the win towards NASA camp. Although Sonko could easily sail through this narrative which decries him as an incompetent reprobate, his towering impediment to the gubernatorial seat will be his own rival Peter Kenneth. Probably some undecided voters might jump ship and opt to vote Dr. Evans Kidero.

SUPREME COURT RULING

MY SUPREME COURT JUDGMENT I am not a lawyer and as such I am only qualified to render my layman’s submission to the court of public opinion, where one does not apply to be “amicus curiae.” In the court of public opinion everybody is both a lawyer and judge and so I can adduce my evidence confidently and make a ruling on my evidence. I want to usurp this opportunity to tell my one page judgment as Chief Justice David Maraga advised. The Chief Justice invited the public to read the Supreme Court judgment and subsequently make individual ruling.             Guys I tried to look at Chebukati trying by hook and crook to exonerate the commissioners from the mess and implicating the secretariat. Chebukati clarified they just assumed office a few months ago, coming into an old secretariat. Although the summary ruling of the Supreme Court judgment did not point out the culpability of the first and second respondents, my opinion is; ...

KAPENGURIA SEVEN

REST IN PEACE FALLEN KAPENGURIA SEVEN. My deepest condolences to the bereft families of seven slain gallant, patriotic officers in Kapenguria. This is an article I wrote on the daily nation last year April last year. I have just read it again and I can’t help being remorseful. Police officers go through a lot.   It is sad that by trying to uphold the law, they paid with their dear lives. The officers resolve to remand in custody a man suspected of links with Alshabaab terror group, led to their encounter with the brutal gun Burrell. It is completely ridiculous and preposterous to blame the police officers for their own death and to concoct somehow a political narrative out of this unfortunate occurrence.    Of course the police know better that apart from protecting the lives of the masses, their own security is paramount. Even within the disciplined police service. Such isolated cases of disgraceful acts from rouge police officers will always occur. Radicali...

WHY IEBC MUST NOT RENEGE ON THE 48,000 VOTERS.

WHY IEBC SHOULD NOT RENEGE ON ELECTION RULES. Wafula   Chebukati, must be the most troubled man, sitting on such a hot seat that is the IEBC chair. I am intrigued by his meeting with the presidential aspirants yesterday and how the contenders are pushing him over the cliff to waver on laid down rules concerning presidential nominations. I don’t find any reason why a country like Kenya should register such a huge number of aspirants for the post of president. It is preposterous and laughable for IEBC to waste resources including all these twenty aspirants in the ballot paper. Even if having such an astronomical number of aspirants does not affect the cost of the ballot paper, it will definitely create a huge impact on the final tally of the presidential votes.   It will lead to lots of spoilt votes. The vast list of contenders will lead to confusion especially on illiterate and semi illiterate voters who have nobody to help them vote their preferred candidate. There...
