Miguna’s running mate steps down

SATURDAY JULY 29 2017


Nairobi gubernatorial candidate Miguna Miguna has suffered a serious blow after his running mate Karen Wangenye dumped him.

Ms Wangenye called a press conference Saturday and declared that she had stepped down as Mr Miguna’s running mate due to poor relations with her boss.

“I have stepped down because of poor working relationship with my candidate, I believe in teamwork, if there is no teamwork, we cannot achieve what we are setting out to deliver to Nairobians,” she told Nation.

She maintained that as good as Mr Miguna’s manifesto was, it was going to be difficult to deliver with poor team work.

MANIFESTO

“I believe that our manifesto is exactly what Nairobi needs but we cannot deliver on it if we do not have team work,” she said.

She accused Mr Miguna, who is running as an independent candidate, of showing contempt to his opponents for the Nairobi gubernatorial seat.

“I don’t think the way to go about it is by abusing the media and your opponents because you have better education,” she noted.

SENATOR

Mr Miguna is facing off with current Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero, former Gatanga MP Peter Kenneth and Nairobi Senator Mike Mbuvi Sonko.

Mr Miguna, a former advisor to National Super Alliance (Nasa) presidential candidate Raila Odinga has ion previous interviews dismissed Dr Kidero, Mr Sonko and Mr Kenneth as being part of the “cartels” that have looted the county government’s coffers.

As he campaigned in hs constituency backyard Nyamathi and Mwicingiri area, Naivasha parliamentary aspirant on independent ticket Anthony Rebo Ngure said he will focus more on making sure the people of Naivasha are comfortable with the way the National Government Constituency Development Fund is utilized.

In his address to the people of Mwicingiri Rebo said the current MP has not been able to utilize the funds well saying a half of it is usually returned to the treasury while the remaining half isn’t accounted for given that it’s not utilized on the intended projects.

He said as the patron of the kitty he will ensure every time it is disbursed a meeting involving stakeholders will be called to get views from different people concerning projects they want to be accomplished.

“The current NGCDF office is constituted of people who are related  and therefore doesn’t represent well the general scope of Naivasha residents, therefore, a new crop of leaders is needed,” he said.

Given that the aspirant is targeting the seat as a youthful candidate, Rebo said he is politically mature enough and will get overwhelming support from Naivasha youths and residents in general and that he’ll deliver them from the current non-inclusive leadership.

Others eyeing the populated constituency are Eng Nguthiru and former legislature Jane Kihara who was rejected in 2013 due to underperforming and non tangible projects in the constituency.

I am the best candidate for Rongai -Moi

Rongai politics seems to be getting a momentum after it has become a two horse race despite having 3other aspirants who  have shown interests to unseat the current MP Raymond Moi.

But Moi seems confident of winning the seat for the 2nd term in the August elections.

Speaking at an interview today in his constituency, Moi expressed his confidence that come 8th, he will still win the Rongai seat since he does not see a competitive candidate to unseat him.

"So far the aspirants who have shown interests to vie for the seat in my constituency have nothing to offer to Rongaians. I have been the area legislator for 5 years. The constituents seem to be happy with my leadership and this is the reason they have supported me all the way and in 2017 I will still get the same support from the locals," he stated.

He argued that the aspirants are busy going in the constituency spoiling his name with false allegation and he confirmed that they will lose in the 2017 elections since the people of Rongai needs leaders with actions not words but an empty development record.

Letter to Rongai constituency Aspirants.

Dear Rongai constituency aspirants, I know you are already abreast of the difficulties facing my constituency, so no need rehashing same. Nonetheless, for the purpose of this letter I shall rhapsodize about few that I think are very important for now, after all, you already know them. Youth 

Nadezhda Mandelstam once said: “I decided it is better to scream. Silence is the real crime against humanity.” Silence is a number one killer indeed. Let me elucidate Hon. Aspirants. If you are sick, instead of telling a doctor or a friend about your condition and you choose to remain mute for fear of been stigmatized, the possibility is that you will die with a disease that should not have killed you in the first place.

Words can be twisted into any shape. Promises can be made to lull the heart and seduce the soul. In the final analysis, those words mean nothing if they are not  transformed into real action. Over the years, Member of Parliament (MP) aspirants have continued to lull the hearts and seduce the souls of the constituents of Rongai constituency for votes, and at the end, those litany of promises amount to nothing, until we got Kiongozi bila Maendeleo Hon Raymond Moi.

Many have said that MPs do not make roads and that they can only lobby. I agree to some extent. If MPs do not make roads, the question then is why would would-they promise heaven on earth things they know very well they cannot fulfill? That certainly includes roads. Perhaps, our MP have lobbied enough.

Many voters are now discerning, therefore, a would-be MP cannot hover from one community to the other promising mouthwatering promises when you are incapable of fulfilling same. Gone are the days when parliamentary aspirants would descend to Solai ward during electioneering periods only to offer voters calabashes of pito or some broken bottles of 'Kibao' as sacrifices for votes, after which they don't return.( where were you for the last 5years only to appear in 2017 and spoil our young generation with illicit liquor.??

When a lascivious man is seeking to take an innocent lady to bed, he would do everything on earth to get her, then after the lady would be jettisoned for life. This is how some of our politicians (SOME Emphasized) have been doing for now in Solai, especially where the area is a so-called world bank or stronghold of his or her party but the truth be told, Raymond Moi Tano Tena is real.

Words can be twisted into any shape. Promises can be made to lull the heart and seduce the soul. In the final analysis, those words mean nothing if they are not transformed into real action. Be ware of such aspirants, lets maintain our able hardworking MP.  at the end, those litany of promises amount to nothing.
Vote wisely
Raymond Moi Tano Tena.
Peace.

Nakuru county needs a talker -Not a ghost Governor.

July 17, 2017
By Kel Wesh

Nakuru aspiring governor Senator James Mungai hardly said a word in the Senate. And he has been silent in the Senate because most of the time he has been absent, preferring instead to be in his business in Thika.

When Nakuru people hear Senators Mike Sonko, Khalwale or Mutula Kilonzo Junior, Anyang’ Nyong’o or Kimani Wamatangi speak, they miss their senator, who could be there speaking about their many problems but he is never there.

Characteristically, the Senator of Nakuru did not address the County Assembly to give the MCAs his assessment of what problems or progress he believed it should have addressed or enhanced.

Worst of all, the Senator never even convened public meetings where he would share his opinions or views with the people or simply listen to them espouse their problems to him.

In short, representation of Nakuru people by Senator James Mungai in the Senate or anywhere else simply not there and Nakuru people could simply say they had no representation anywhere.

Now that the same ghost senator is around seeking re election as a governor, he should first apologize to Nakurians for robbing them their Democratic right of representation in the Senate. Senator Mungai is a robber who robbed Us voice and representation, 

a robbery that is worse than that of property or anything else because it negates their vote and right of representation.

Nakuru county is open for tourism but not ready for a tourist Governor, a governor who have no track record for the past 5 years, a governor whose mission is to burden Wanjiku for another 5 years. 
James Mungai respect Voters, apologize to them and before God first and you will be Ready to Go.

At no single account were you seen advocating for the president and his deputy yet you served under their party?? 

Let's Maintain the peace; Naivasha residents urged.
