Once upon a time, there was a gullible hyena. To be gullible is to be easily deceived or duped; naïve, easily cheated, fooled or tricked because of being too trusting. So, this is how the 'fisi' (hyena) was gulled.

| The gullible hyena |
One day as she marauded in the jungle in search of food, she came to a junction. A place where the path branched, forming a Y-shape. Priory, she had given the lion a rough time, trying to have the same prey that the king of the jungle was hunting. Obviously it was all in vain, as she later realized and off she went seeking an alternative meal, until she reached the junction. At this juncture, she caught a whiff of rotten meat from one direction and another strong smell of fresh meat from the other.

In her gullibility, she chose to go for the rotten meat, but then she didn't want to miss the fresh meat either. She therefore put her right foot on one branch and her left on the other. This way, she was convinced that she would have both meals, and so off she went. However, she didn't get far since the further the paths got from each other, the more her legs spread apart!

Eventually, she came to a point where her legs could not go any further apart without the danger of splitting away. But how could she go back when the food was so close? As she drew closer and closer to the meat, her legs couldn't help but open completely, up to a point where she could actually see the carcasses - and at this point, she split herself up from between her legs (front), all the way to her tail. End of the story.
The story above was narrated to us by one gifted orator during a recent political debate, where 'Siasa za Embu' (Embu politics) was the main subject. He however gave a disclaimer that should the story seem to describe the antics of some politician or other, he is not to be blamed for the opinions people would form therefrom. It was then that another speaker brought about matters to do with the aftermath of the Jubilee Party primaries conducted a few weeks ago. He confessed that since his favorite gubernatorial candidate, the one he had voted for during the nominations had lost, they have been politically scattered like sheep without a shepherd.

In his lamentation, he alleged that after losing to governor Wambora, Cess (the speaker's formerly preferred candidate), approached LK with claims that she could deliver all her former supporters' votes to the tycoon's camp. According to this speaker, the 'iron lady of Embu', as she's known to some, had hoped that Mr 'Moneybags' would be as generous as he had been, back when the two were plotting the incumbent governor's downfall. That was long before their public debacle at Karurumo, Embu.

| Memories are made of this |
This time round, however, her ex-benefactor either became tight-fisted or his resources are dwiddling. There was no money, period. Upon learning this, she has shifted her support to KK, but without decamping from LK's camp, probably due to the fact that she had declared her support for the Senator publicly, not so many days ago.

Since she has allegedly deceived KK as well, that she is coming on board with all her former diehards, she has done a good job of confusing her supporters up to a point where they'll most certainly cast their votes to the one leader who has not only remained firm on his stand, but has also fought vicious political battles and emerged victorious.
Who else but Embu County Governor, His Excellency Martin Nyaga Wambora?
