| Former president Kibaki reacts to his detractors |
Embu County governor, Martin Nyaga Wambora is still the man to beat in the gubernatorial race in the rich Eastern Kenya County, despite starting his term in low gear especially because of the failed impeachment plot by Members of the County Assembly. The man has managed to maintain his cool and embarked on developing the county, which is said to be among the richest in Kenya.

Governor Wambora a.k.a Ciiko, the Kiembu word for actions, has successfully avoided engaging himself in cheap politics, a scheme his opposers have been using to detract him from his developmental agenda. The former Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) chairman is as good as Kenya’s third President Mwai Kibaki, whose administration performed exemplarily despite endless complains from President Kenyatta’s main challenger, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who then shared Kibaki’s coalition (nusu mkate) government following the disputed outcome of the 2007 general elections.

Kibaki, a former Makerere University Economics lecturer is a perfect comparison of the Embu leader in view of the way he was able to maintain relative silence at a time when Raila and his herd sought to engage him in cheap political bickering. Wambora, who also studied at the famous Uganda University, has chosen to concentrate on improving the living standards of the Embu people rather than meaningless politicking that his challengers have constantly attempted to engage him in.

This action man, Wambora, has surely been up to the task. Embu is on a growth path and going by the number of projects that the rather humble politician has initiated, it is only apt for the Embu people to give him a second term come August, in order for him to finish the good work that he is doing in the county.
