Justice Served, Victory Imminent for Embu People

The morning of Tuesday 3 July 2018 was not only chilly whether-wise but emotionally too, mostly for the few fellows who accompanied former Embu senator to the Court of Appeals hearing at the Supreme Court in Nairobi. As for the multitude that was present to offer moral support to Governor Wambora, the attitude was different. The latter team was full of gusto, having confidence in the the competence of the incumbent's counsel to not only get Justice but also to deliver victory for Embu people.

Well, tension was rampant at the Supreme court as the bench of Court of Appeal judges listened to submissions pertaining to Governor Wambora's appeal on a fallacious ruling earlier delivered by the High Court in Embu several months ago.

It was satirical for every enlightened person present to hear the petitioner's lead counsel, prof. Ojieda attempt to introduce new evidence on election malpractice. It was indeed an awkward moment as the battery of lawyers went on a course to justify against themselves that the High court judge sitting in Embu had acted on 'lack of proper judicial knowledge' to nullify the 2017 Embu gubernatorial election results.

Judge Musinga put an uphill task on Prof. Ojienda's shoulders, asking him to name the 121 polling stations that his client, Mr. Lenny Kivuti claimed to have had irregularities.

In a show of proper understanding of law, Wambora's legal team led by the Grand Mullah, put it out that Judge Musyoka, sitting at the High Court in Embu had made his ruling without considering or bothering to know the names of the alleged stations. It was noted that the stations were neither known nor had they been presented before Court before​.

Renowned lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi communicated to Prof. Ojieda, to his face, that the latter had no knowhow of the exact location of the said polling stations. 

Accordingly, the conclusion was that:

1. There was no evidential basis for scrutiny of votes cast

2. There were no specific disputes 

3. All of it was a fishy expedition of bloated ego

4. The High Court judge over emphasized on the margin, and that

5. When the judge found the appellate to still be the winner, he came with plan B, culminating to point 3 above.

At the end of it all, the court set the date of the ruling for 17 August 2018.

IS IT TRUE THAT LENNY KIVUTI AND GOVERNOR WAMBORA AGREED TO WORK TOGETHER?

Your guess is as good as mine, for it is written, 'Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God' (Mathew 5:9).

Whoever got ears to hear has heard and whoever got data to surf the Internet has learnt! In the wake of the trending 'handshake saga', former Meru governor Peter Munya and incumbent Kiraitu Murungi did the handshake thing in the presence of the president during the recent celebrations of Madaraka Day at Meru Kinoru Stadium.

The following day, amid unlimited speculation, kingmakers of Embu County predicted a Wambora-Lenny handshake that should work magic like it's doing with Uhuru and Raila. Tentatively, the burial of the late mother to National Assembly Speaker JB Muturi in Embu on Saturday 2 June, 2018 was expected to provide an opportunity for the two Embu gubernatorial titans' handshake. It is rumored that the two leaders agreed to put aside their differences; Lenny to help Wambora complete his second term in peace so as to get his endorsement in 2022.

TODAY'S WORD: REJOICE WITH THOSE WHO REJOICE and Mourn with Those Who Mourn

Embu governor Martin Wambora (center) with county first lady Theresia Wambora and other leaders mourn with the family of one of his security personnel whose mother has gone to be with the Lord.

It is written, 'Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep' (Romans 12:15). What could be more noble; and who could be happier than that man who has taken the Law of the Lord into his heart, so that he meditates on it day and night and lives according to the teachings therein. '...he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper' (Psalms 1:3). Glory be to God that there are still a few such men in the world today, one of whom is Embu county governor, H.E. Hon. Martin Wambora.

The other week when the man was forced to attend a court hearing on his appeal to a fallacious ruling by the High Court, he was captured on camera rejoicing with his supporters. The reason for celebration was that the date for the submissions was moved from 21 May to 5 June, 2018. This gave his legal team more time to tackle the seemingly endless challenges. Wambora's nemesis, Embu gubernatorial election loser, former senator Lenny Kivuti had attended the hearing confident that the ruling will be upheld so that the election would be repeated. Mr. Kivuti was later seen to be in a quagmire as he attempted to convince his supporters to stick with him albeit the disappointment.

Governor Wambora's relief was however short-lived as soon afterwards, one of his most trusted security aides lost his mother. As such, the man who has come to be referred to as the governor with the nine lives of the proverbial cat due to his tenacity, took a break from his busy schedule to go weep with the family. He was as usual accompanied by the county first lady Theresia Wambora and an army of his most ardent supporters. The gesture brought out the much loved but equally besieged leader as a man who lives and rules as per biblical teachings. As it is, Embu county continues to make headlines due to the myriad development projects being undertaken in spite of distractions by enemies of development. Leading among these is the Embu level 5 hospital which has been improved into a Teaching and Referral hospital under Wambora's leadership.

THIS IS WHAT LENNY KIVUTI's Supporters Were Caught Saying...

Some of the DEFECTORS who are known to have ditched the government for the doomed opposition

"Embu County Governor, Martin Wambora is a hard nut to crack" said one diehard to another ardent supporter of former Embu senator, Lenny Kivuti. The lady and gentleman, both known to have been 'eating' the politician, were overheard expressing their lack of confidence in Mr. Kivuti. The two gossipers spilled forth sensitive information on 'How to Eat Lenny's Money - Season 2'. They humorously admitted that they are in the opposition team only for the money. They were however quick to express their discontent with the discriminate manner in which the tycoon's cash handouts are shared out. They claimed that the 'rice' is usually eaten by a few select individuals while those who do the dirty work starve.

Jubilee Party

According to Intel from strategically placed political espionage experts, the two members of the opposition camp , the team has completely disintegrated. Former Manyatta MP Emilio Kathuri, who acted as Mr Kivuti's running mate in the last elections is no longer in 'Riceman's' good books. They added that if at all there shall be a repeat election, Kathuri would not be considered for deputy governor.

Governor Wambora; concerned about
the wasted time

It is clear even to Wambora's detractors that the incumbent governor is the true leader for Embu County. If you knew Embu before and after Wambora became governor, you will agree with me that were it not for unnecessary Court cases filed by enemies of development, much more would have been achieved by now. After all isn't it evident that the government is still performing in spite of all the squabbling?

IF YOU CAN'T BEAT THEM - Join Them...

It's official, governor Wambora of Embu County leads with a big margin. According to the latest official polls, the report above tells it all... All the rest is propaganda!

TALK​ OF MOVING CROWDS; Lenny Kivuti Knows How To Do It ( PHOTO & VIDEO)

Huge crowds typical to Lenny Kivuti's political rallies

The generosity attributed to Embu senator and gubernatorial aspirant, Lenny Kivuti, has seen him attract mammoth crowds wherever he goes. Earlier in the week during his meet-the-people tour in the upper Embu sub-counties, the people challenged him to prove to them that he was as 'loaded' as he is rumored to be. They challenged him to give them 200 shillings each. In response to this Mr. Kivuti took his time to present his manifesto and convince the people that it wasn't about handouts but what he intended to do if elected governor. He​ however managed to provide some 'fare' to those who had come from far to hear him out. They accepted the token with gratitude and promised to vote for him on 8/8/2017 - before following him to the next stop for more handouts.

On the other hand, the incumbent governor of Embu Martin Wambora, who has in the past been nicknamed Wamunyinya (Miser) for neither giving handouts nor paying his workers on time, is of late said to be going 'softer on the wallet'; he has at last heeded good advice given him​ so that he no longer meets the people 'dry-mouthed' but shows his appreciation for the voters' time and support with reasonable stipends.

MONEY; Governor Wambora is said to be dealing with it sparingly but wisely

In other news from reliable sources, Governor Wambora has been warned to be more generous to those who do the online marketing for him or risk losing them to either LK's, KK's or TeamLeo's side, all who are known to be quite generous to their respective bloggers. 

In response, 'Ciiko' (Actions), as Wambora is commonly known has put in place a better system for remunerating his online marketing team - with​ transparency and accountability to ensure that he gets value for his money.

BLOODSHED! Wicked Political Scheme Unveiled!

Moles strategically placed in the Lenny-Kathuri (LEKA) camp have revealed to Siasa za Embu, of an evil scheme being plotted against the incumbent Embu governor, H.E Martin Wambora. According to the sources, LK a.k.a Riceman is planning to pay for trucks to hit small cars on the Nairobi-Meru highway, specifically between Ena and Gakwegori.

THE MISSION

All that is well ends well, but not in this case; reason being that the drivers' assignment is utterly wicked! They are supposed to drive as recklessly as possible along the stretch covering Country View hotel, an establishment owned by governor Wambora. The purpose of the reckless driving is to cause minor accidents timed to cause minimal injuries to themselves but hurt pedestrians and any bystanders. The vehicles are to overlap and overtake each other dangerously in the vicinity of the hotel, on consecutive days in the last week towards the general election on 8/8/2017. It is a wickedly contrived plot aimed at causing bloodshed around the area in a bid to try and convince voters that the massive popularity and support Wambora currently enjoys is not genuine but a result of blood 'sacrifice'. 

The whole yarn has been spun by experts at mob psychology, who know very well how fast bad news travels and what impact it's likely to cause. Fortunately the scheme has been uncovered and necessary steps are being taken to counter the attack. After all, Wambora is a God-fearing man who lives and leads by biblical principles, and as it is written, '...the tribulations of a righteous man are many, but the Lord delivers him from them all'.

Governor Wambora is the preferred candidate for the majority, especially after the president's endorsement recently.

KITHINJI KIRAGU CONDEMNS LENNY KIVUTI For Allegedly Buying Votes

Aspirant Lenny Kivuti responds to Kithinji Kiragu's accusations 

GOVERNOR WAMBORA'S OPPONENTS ATTACK EACH OTHER.

PNU’s Embu governor candidate Kithinji Kiragu (KK) has accused one of his rivals of bribing voters. Without mincing his words, KK bitterly complained that former senator Lenny Kivuti (LK) has embarked on an ID buying exercise whereby he is exchanging poor voters' identity cards for as little as Ksh 200, with the intention of ensuring that they don't vote come the general election.

He said the candidate wants to influence the outcome of the August 8 election through illegal means, instead of persuading them based on his manifesto. He added that LK's  manifesto itself is just a copy-paste job from governor Wambora's original.

Kiragu said such a candidate does not care about residents.

 “He is only interested in power for his selfish gain and is keen to get it at whatever cost” He said.

While cautioning voters against electing corrupt politicians, he told the people that if they thought he (KK) is too old to lead, they'd better elect Wambora in stead of Lenny Kivuti.

In retaliation, LK claimed that KK is only suffering from SENILITY and that he will never win any election as his late father had 'cursed' him, instructing him to stick to business and avoid politics by all means.

A 'NUGGET' OF WISDOM: CONSISTENCY And Focus is Key To Success

Success isn't always about greatness. It's about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success. Greatness will come - Dwayne Johnson.

Dwayne Douglas Johnson, also known by his ring name The Rock, is an American actor, voice actor, producer, and professional wrestler. Given the levels of success he has attained, no one should have any reason to doubt this piece of wisdom.

In the context of Kenya politics, Embu County specifically, of the three major contenders in the gubernatorial race: Kithinji Kiragu (KK), Lenny Kivuti (LK) and the incumbent governor Martin Wambora, only one has exhibited the virtue of consistency.

PARTY POLITICS

In the the run up to the hotly contested party primaries held earlier this year, all the three candidates mentioned above had initially sought to clinch the Jubilee Party ticket, alongside Runyenjes MP Cecily Mbarire (Cess). However, a few weeks to the nominations, two of them freaked!

Fearing that they were not strong enough to face Cess, KK decamped to Party of National Unity (PNU) while LK jumped ship to Maendeleo Chap Chap (MCC). Governor Wambora, on the other hand held his ground consistently and faced the seemingly very strong Cess, and went ahead to beat her hands down.

after her fall-out with Lenny Kivuti

What does that tell us about the leadership qualities of KK and LK? It's clear; both Kithinji Kiragu and Lenny Kivuti are people who wouldn't stand strong when faced with competition. They are cowards, who have proved it by their lack of consistency.

Their inconsistency has brought them out as incompetent leaders.

That leaves us with only Governor Wambora, also known as 'Ciiko' (Actions) for his development record! Think about it...

WHAT GOD HAS PUT TOGETHER LET NO MAN PUT ASUNDER!

Embu Senator Lenny Kivuti stands between Governor Wambora and County first lady, Theresiah Wambora during a prayer rally on 5th July, 2017 at Embu stadium. The national Second Lady, Rachael Ruto was in attendance.

It came as a shock to many to see former Embu Senator Lenny Kivuti in a prayer rally, considering that the man has been rumored to never mention​ the name of God; even to say a simple 'God bless you'.

Skeptics have it that the man had not attended the meeting for the sake of prayer but to perform certain rituals that included standing between the County First Couple!

POLITICAL 'COCK-FIGHT'! Lenny Kivuti On the Receiving End.

For the benefit of those who don't understand the Kiembu dialect, here is an explanation to the above caption:

Mutongoria njamba means a brave leader or a leading warrior. Njamba also means a male fowl (cock). It is a name that has become synonymous​ with Embu governor, Martin Wambora, for his heroic deeds. 

The man is also known by his philosophy - Ciiko, which means 'Actions' or 'Deeds'

On the other hand, 'Riceman' refers to the out going  Embu Senator, Lenny Kivuti who is well known for serving people rice made in China, while exhibiting no leadership qualities. His slogan Twendane muno meaning 'Let's love each other much', is rather deceptive! it is only words, after all.

But it has been said, 'Actions speak louder than words'. It's therefore clear from the picture above, which cock is likely to win...
