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.

ELECTION LAW AMENDMENTS

WHY ELECTORAL AMENDMENTS ARE A RECIPE FOR CHAOS. I think these amendments to electoral laws are the ultimate recipe for war and violence. The laws open a legal conundrum which even lawyers cannot unlock. I see a situation in which more than one president will be announced winners if the elections are to be held. Come to think of it. If three commissioners with one acting as the chair can declare a President then the probability of Kenya declaring two presidents concurrently is more than half. It is obvious, the chairman can disappear in the like manner Chris Chege Msando disappeared. Shit do happens. If this happens and the vice assumes the powers of the chair to declare a candidate validly elected president or any other member then voila! If there is a law that will haunt the nation, it is these impromptu amendments. We can run and run from the fact of the matter; these amendments are engineered to create a conducive atmosphere and act as an incentive to rigging. After the ci

CHIEF JUSTICE IS ALSO THE HEAD OF A BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT.

CHIEF JUSTICE IS THE HEAD OF JUDICIARY. In the principles of separation of power, The President is not the head of government. He is the head of state. He heads one arm of the government called executive. The chief justice is the head of Judiciary (not attorney general). He is the president of the supreme Court - the highest court of the land. Then there is the Speaker, who is the head of parliament. Most of the times many have thought the attorney general heads the Judiciary but no. Attorney general's chief role is advising the president and parliament. He is an ex- officio member of parliament and also a member of the executive. He is part of the cabinet which forms the executive. Parliament, both Senate and Legislative assembly are charged with making laws. The executive implement those laws and other functions while Judiciary reserves the decision as to who has violated aIntern the laws and interpretes the law and the extent and impacts of those transgressions.

HOW ATTACKING YOUR OPPONENT WORKS AGAINST YOU

HOW JUBILEE CAMPAIGNS FOR NASA Duale has encouraged a majority of Kenyans to send money to pay bill  991444 and your ID number as the account number. It takes men of resolve to stand on the side of truth, democracy and burry the culture of bungling presidential elections. All first and second liberation was never on a silver splatter. The third liberation even if it does not come through Raila will be the most contested compared to the former two. A new Kenya is an expensive venture, Kenyans must be ready to go the extra mile.  Kenyans will brace every hardship to the confines of  their pockets. Remember Some people like Samantha Pendo who knew nothing about elections paid with their dear lives. Many people have paid the price with their blood, it can't be equated to sending ksh 10 free of charge courtesy of Safaricom. I pity majority leader Adan Duale, he thinks he can take on Raila as his equal in a duel but every time he speaks about Odinga, the latter gains lots of p
