Once upon a time, an investor  from abroad visited the Land of Opportunities, fell in love with the place and after touring the county, decided to stay and  invest in the business of second hand car dealership.

Given the conducive business environment, his business thrived, and him being a wise investor, made sure that he had his cars and business premises insured, through Mid-Lane Insurance Agency, one of the most reliable service providers in the industry.

He however overlooked one area; his own personal accident cover. So one day as he toured the forest land around Mt. Kenya, he had an accident - his car overturned. As he was not so badly injured, he found a place to sit and assess the situation. Well, his clothes were badly torn so that his vitals dangled, but he was too shocked to notice. At that moment, a wild cat appeared from the bushes, and as can be seen from the  video (above), lunged for the hanging organ.

Well, his car was compensated, but since he had no personal accident cover, the 'assets' he lost to the wild cat could not be replaced by any insurance company.

...and as the man's nick-name - Ciiko - depicts, the recently re-elected Governor of Embu County, Wambora, has let bygones be bygones and embraced the opportunity to lead 'The Land of Opportunities' for another five years of tangible and visible deeds.

During his Swearing-in ceremony held at Embu Stadium on Friday 18/8/2017, Governor Wambora - who was re-elected on 8/8/2017 - voiced his intention to work with all harmoniously, at all levels.

"I promise I will not let you down", He said to the jubilant crowd, amid cheers of praise and admiration.

The occasion marked the end of divisive politics and the beginning of wealth creation by the people through cooperative leadership.

To that effect, we have rebranded this online newsletter from SIASA ZA EMBU to RASLIMALI EMBU (Raslimali is Swahili for wealth/investment) 

This move was taken in readiness to market Embu County, and the larger Mt. Kenya region to the rest of the world, as an investment hub and tourists' destination.

MAY THE BEST MAN WIN For The Prosperity of Posterity!

President Kenyatta (right) and opposition leader Raila Odinga; from their respective expressions, it's clear who is confident and who is worried

Lest we be deceived, let it be known that the outcome of this year's general election is of great interest not only to Kenya but to the world as whole, and to the powers that be. World leaders have keenly monitored how the government has been ran for the past four and a half years, and if you consider the fact that devolution has literally worked and most development pledges achieved, you will agree with me that the government's scorecard under president Uhuru and his able governors is looking good.

One of the able governors who have been noted for their examplary performance is Embu's Martin Wambora. In spite of the numerous challenges that he has had to counter, the man has conquered and proved himself to be an able and visionary leader who cares for the posterity of Embu County and Kenya at large.

Among his 500 plus projects, one that has clearly stood out is the Early Childhood Development and Education program. Having foreseen the future of the county, governor Wambora has invested in the brains of our young ones by establishing modern classrooms for nursery school children all over the county, employed qualified teachers for them (on permanent and pensionable basis) and rolled out a free school milk program, to ensure that the future is secured.

This noble move would certainly not have been successful without the input of the Minister of Education in the county government, one Dr. Jamleck Muturi.

All those who have the country's best interest at heart will concur that the both President Kenyatta and Governor Wambora deserve a second term in office.

KIVUTI OUTSHINES WAMBORA IN TERMS OF CROWD-PULLING

THESE OPPOSITION LEADERS Are Likely To Attract a Higher Voter Turnout in their favour come 8/8/2017...

Voter turnout can be expected to be higher than last time for these two leaders: Raila Odinga and Lenny Kivuti of Embu County.

The two leaders have a few things in common  at their levels of government, national and County respectively.

For one, both of them are successful business men, secondly, they are the strongest opposition leaders; the former to president Uhuru Kenyatta and the latter to Embu governor Martin Wambora. Thirdly, they are both great crowd pullers.

More of the crowds that attended Kivuti's rally.

5th of August 2017 turned out to be a day to be favourably remembered by the two men. On this day - the day all campaigns came to an end till elections 2017 - both politicians held rallies in Uhuru Park, Nairobi and Embu Stadium respectively.

The last but not least similarity is that in Embu, Lenny Kivuti out-did Wambora in terms of the crowd he pulled while Raila outshined Uhuru, who was at Afraha Stadium in Nakuru.

From the numbers of people who attended the opposition rallies, it appears this time round, there might be bigger voter turnouts in their favour as opposed to the incumbents.

ON CHRIS MSANDO: Why ICT Managers Suffer, Die (PHOTO & STORY)

The recent death of IEBC ICT Manager Chris Msando has elicited speculations into the relationship between such professionals' job descriptions and their fatal plights: 'Accidents', disappearances, torture and possible death.

One month ago, another man in the same capacity suffered an almost similar fate. The man's name is Mr. Murungaru, who had held almost the same position in Embu governor's campaign machinery. The highly intelligent manager had an accident - and a serious accident it was, involving a collision between his car and another vehicle. He is still admitted in a Nairobi hospital.

It all boils down to passwords, P.I.N.s and political secrets that only the victims are privy to. That's why good men suffer! Quick recovery Murungaru, R.I.P Msando. 

OF MOSES, JESUS, KENYATTA AND WAMBORA

President Uhuru Kenyatta endorsed Embu governor Martin Wambora; both face opposition in spite of having performed well

Both President Uhuru Kenyatta and Embu governor Martin Wambora face stubbornness in spite of their  good performance. Just like in the old biblical days, Moses - a man chosen by God to lead His people out of slavery in Egypt - faced a hard time in the wilderness, as the Israelites, having lived through years of torture and discrimination in the hands of Pharaoh  mocked him, daring him to take them back to Egypt.

The incumbent fourth president of independent Kenya Uhuru Kenyatta has transformed the country to notable standards. His good deeds include free maternal care, provision of eletric power to almost all regions of the republic, construction of roads, revival of long ‘dead’ parastatals and firms, improved health care, service delivery at the grassroots level, better security and the mega SGR project that has raised the nation’s image globally. But the son of Jomo has found himself on the receiving end from the 'Joshua'-led opposition.

Perhaps it is human nature, for still the Son of Man, Jesus Christ was equally not spared. After teaching the ignorant, healing the sick, raising the dead, feeding multitudes, transforming water into wine and all the other deeds the savior did, he remained unpopular in his home area. Later, the people demanded to have a convicted criminal freed in place of a loving, caring Messiah sent from heaven.

In the same way, governor Wambora is another victim of this peculiar human phenomenon. Ciiko (Actions), as the humble leader is commonly referred to, has been unfairly treated by some opposing forces within the rich highland county - The land of opportunities. He had had to go through a vigorous political scheme to have him impeached in his maiden days as the first governor of Embu. He however went ahead to beat his political foes when the court cleared him and declared him innocent.

In conclusion, Moses, the man of God delivered the children of Israel from slavery. Christ Jesus, the lamb of God won against every battle that he encountered, including defeating death after three days and delivered all believers from eternal damnation. Going by these viable  and real examples, it would be any wise man’s guess that come August 8th , Uhuru and Wambora will be winners, just like Moses and Jesus.
