Fare Thee Well, John De’Matthew: It’s Time for Peace and Work, not Politics

A

s almost everyone may have noticed, some leaders in Kenya are currently too much into 2022 succession politics, in place of doing what they were elected to do – delivery of services to their people.

In a bid to counter this dangerous trend, renowned musician John De’Matthew is working hand in hand with Kameme TV in a campaign to preach peace and work instead of continual politicking. The 'Peris Nduku' hit maker outlined this plan when he paid a courtesy call to the Minister for Trade, Tourism, Investment and Industrialization in Embu County Dr. Jamleck Muturi at his office on 18 June 2019.

Present in the meeting was the Chief Officer, Youth Empowerment and Sports, Mr. Sam Wachira, Director of Trade Mr Anthony Zawaya and Director, Tourism Ms Virginia Warue. Minority Leader in Embu County Assembly Hon. Lenny Mwaniki (Masters) also graced the occasion. In the celebrity’s entourage was his manager Mr. John Ndung’u and Ms Esther Nyaga of Kameme TV

While outlining the noble plan, De’Mathew said that he, together with ten other renowned musicians are set to hold a mega live concert at Embu Stadium on 28 July 2019. This will be part of a peace program dubbed 'De'Matthew Mashinani', traversing the whole country. The artistes are expected to not only perform their best hits but also sensitize the people on the need to focus on what their leaders are doing in delivering their mandate and promoting peace. The business community will also be invited to showcase their trade through the Kenya National Chambers of Commerce and Industry.

In the week before the show to be aired live on Kameme TV, the media fraternity plans to highlight tourism and investment opportunities in the county. At the same time, talented youth can expect to receive support from the celebrity, who has offered to record at least one song at the state-of-the-art studio established at the Embu Talent Academy. He said that when he toured the facility accompanied by the government officials. This effort is expected to steer the people’s attention from politics into work and peace.

MATTRESSES, IRON SHEETS, FOODSTUFF AND MEDICAL CARE AVAILED TO LANDSLIDE VICTIMS

Some of the goodies donated by Governor Wambora to the landslide victims

Even as the rains continue wreaking havoc all over the country, the victims of a recent landslide in Embu County found consolation in the man they elected as governor. Residents of Mutuangima and Mutuaitaru villages of Kyeni North ward in Runyenjes Constituency have a reason not to weep following a visit by Embu County governor, H.E. Martin Wambora. In an unannounced visit to the affected families, the God-fearing leader followed the teachings of Christ that when we do charitable works we should not let the left hand know what the right hand is doing. However, as it is hard to light a lamp and fail to see the light, governor Wambora’s good deeds to the victims have received criticism from enemies of development, as usual.

though suffering villagers

The eighteen (18) families were temporarily housed at Iriari primary school with the governor making a personal donation of sufficient foodstuff, blankets and twenty iron sheets per family, to enable them reconstruct their houses. He also arranged to have a medical camp established at the site to take care of the children and the elderly. Knowing well that it is better to teach a hungry person how to fish than to give them fish, governor Wambora resolved to get into talks with the management of Nyayo Tea Zone with the aim of having it allocate a piece of land to resettle the affected families. The organization owns expansive tracts of land around Mt. Kenya forest.

HUMILITY COMES BEFORE HONOUR; Meet Hon. Terry Mbuchi, the Budding Star of Kyeni North

Hon. Terry Mbuchi, nominated MCA, Embu County Assembly

It is written, in Proverbs 15:33;

'The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility'.

As many of us converge at our various respective places of worship, let me take this opportunity to give a testimony of one Hon. Terry Mbuchi, nominated MCA to the County Assembly of Embu. 

Those who have met this young lady can attest to her meekness, both in word and deed. On only one occasion was she seen to lose her temper and throw a tantrum that cowed not only her offenders but also the driver, conductor and passengers in the matatu she was commuting on.

Assembly chambers in the presence of Governor Martin 
Wambora (far back, right)

It was one fine evening in July 2017, a time when campaigns towards the August elections had really gathered heat. Terry was commuting from Karurumo, her place of work then, to Embu town. Almost everyone in the matatu was obsessed with politics, loudly analyzing the three major gubernatorial candidates in Embu, namely Lenny Kivuti, Kithinji Kiragu and the incumbent governor, Martin Wambora.

Terry calmly listened to them until somebody contemptuously asked, 

          

         "What has Wambora done for us to deserve reelection?"

Before anyone could respond, Hon. Mbuchi erupted like a volcano! 

          

          "How can you ask such a question. Does it mean that even    you can't see all that Embu County has achieved under                    Wambora's leadership?" 

Now the gentleman was a known beneficiary of the vocational college where Terry worked. He momentarily lost his composure on realizing who his challenger was. 

Before he could recover, Terry went ahead to convincingly pinpoint some of governor Wambora's most visible accomplishments, starting with the Youth Polytechnic where the gentleman's wife worked too. Believe you me, the number of the development projects enumerated thereof were too many to fit in this article. All of them will be made known to you in the sequel to this story, in due time. However, by the end of her argument, she had managed to convince everyone in the vehicle that Wambora was the best governor that Embu people could ever hope to get.

Wambora's projects

The most amazing thing about this young leader is that even after her nomination to the enviable position of MCA, she never changed her good-natured attitude towards the common mwananchi! She is still as humble as ever, finding time to listen to the concerns of her people and doing her best to help where she can. Surely... 

'...whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.' - Matthew 23:12

WAMBORA’S LEGACY Could Live Forever, Courtesy of ‘Ciiko Airlifts’

Governor Wambora is likened to Tom Mboya visionwise

So soon after his appointment as Chairman to the Security and Foreign Affairs Committee in the Council of Governors, Embu governor H.E. Martin Wambora is already considering how the opportunity could optimally benefit the people of Embu. Being a visionary leader, he realizes that investment in human resources is the best way to ensure that in future, there shall be no shortage of highly educated professionals to provide labor and entrepreneurship in Embu, and Kenya as a whole. How so?

Kirinyaga Governor, Anne Waiguru drew
much attention at the Council​ of Governors
Conference

In economics, we have four major factors of production or economic resources, so to say: Land, Capital, Labor and Entrepreneurship. For land and capital to be gainfully employed, competent labor and entrepreneurship is requisite. The economy therefore needs a highly learned, exposed and experienced workforce to provide strategic, tactical and operational management skills now and in future; especially in future.

To that end, Governor Wambora is about to implement a noble plan, similar to Tom Mboya’s “Operation Airlift Africa”, some 54 years ago. According to an article in New African Magazine dated 26^th January, 2014, between 1959 and 1963, Kenya’s political icon, the late Tom Mboya organized the airlifting of 770 young men and women from Kenya and nine other East, Central, and Southern countries to go and study in the USA and come back to shape the future of their countries.

father; a beneficiary of the program

Airlifted to America aboard specially chartered BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation) airplanes, the students were trained in the US to become everything from engineers and economists to agronomists and civil servants. They were really preparing, though, to become the future leaders of Kenya and fill positions in government and industry that the British would soon vacate.

Some beneficiaries of Tom Mboya's Operation Airlift Africa

Wambora’s initiative, possibly to be dubbed ‘Ciiko Airlifts’, is likely to be more effective as it will target a smaller population – Embu County. Beneficiaries will be the currently unemployed first degree holders in Embu, willing to pursue their Masters Degrees abroad then come back and serve their county, and country. That way, the soft-spoken but highly intelligent leader will be sure that when he retires in 2022, he will leave the county in competent hands - hands of visionary professionals who will steer the county towards the achievement of its vision, and keep the Wambora Legacy alive!

LEADERS INVITE PROSPERITY As They CONVERGE for Thanksgiving Ceremony

Hon. Martin Mwangi (2nd left)
 with Governor Wambora (2nd right)
and other leaders on a past event.

For the first time since he was sworn in to office, Embu Governor, H.E. Hon. Martin Wambora is expected to make a public appearance as he graces a Thanksgiving ceremony for nominated MCA Hon. Martin Mwangi at Winners' Chapel on 1st October, 2017. Almost all other leaders who are responsible for taking Embu County to the next level in the next five years are also scheduled to be in attendance, as they all have much to give thanks for. 

An invitation card to the Thanksgiving Ceremony, where all are welcome

Young Hon. Mwangi is well known in Embu town and its environs, especially among the under-privileged masses residing in the informal settlements (Ghettos) where he has been quite philanthropic in feeding and clothing poor families through Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) Rescue Center, an organization he helped establish.

Hon. Mwangi serves the children

The noble gesture is likely to have a positive 'ripple' effect characterized by growth in terms of trade, investment and industrialization as it will provide a platform where after the major event, stakeholders will meet informally and brainstorm on the best way forward. Those who are given to faith in the power of prayer know that the event shall not be in vain, as it is written; 

'...he hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: His righteousness remaineth forever...' and also 'Being enriched in everything to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God'. (2 Corinthians 9:9, 11)

With this kind of leadership, prosperity can be expected in the land of opportunities, with investment and Industrialization going a notch higher, as the Lord pours favor upon the people.

This indeed is certainly a form of investment in divine intervention which, through faith will translate to growth in Raslimali (Resources) in Embu County.

IT'S A NEW DAWN! Welcome All, To New Investment Opportunities

'The man of action' TAKES THE HELM ONCE AGAIN...

...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.

PROPHESY FULFILLED; Wambora Triumphs At Last!

It was a matter of strong will power, faith and vigilance...

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.

President Kenyatta shakes hands with Embu governor Martin Wambora

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.

NASA leader Raila Odinga addresses one of the largest crowds in the history of Kenya politics

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.

A smaller crowd attended Wambora's rally at Embu Stadium

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.

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. 

 

An illustration of Moses facing opposition from the same people he had rescued from slavery

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. 

The president addresses a mammoth crowd in Embu, where he endorsed governor Wambora

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. 

An illustration of the torture Jesus Christ went through to save mankind

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.

MRS. WAMBORA'S HATERS Advised To Read The Bible And Be Enlightened

President Uhuru Kenyatta (left) shakes hands with Embu governor Martin Wambora and County first lady Theresiah Wambora during the president's recent visit to the county.

Some people will never see any good thing any where, but no matter how hard the heart of man may be, the Word of God always has a way of getting through and changing perspectives. Therefore, those who are always on the case of Embu first lady Theresia Wambora, wrongfully finding fault with her are advised to remember that it is only the fruitful tree that has stones thrown at it in a bid to 'harvest' unripe fruits.

Truthfully speaking, those who complain that Mrs. Wambora never leaves her husbands side like other aspirants' wives should refer to Proverbs 31:10-12, 25-26 and verse 31...

Her Excellency Embu first lady Theresiah Wambora (right) has always been by her husband's side through out.

Below are some scriptures to justify Mrs Wambora's enviable commitment to her man:

Proverbs 31:10-12

[10]How hard it is to find a capable wife! She is worth far more than jewels!

[11]Her husband puts his confidence in her, and he will never be poor.

[12]As long as she lives, she does him good and never harm.

[23]Her husband is well known, one of the leading citizens.

[25]She is strong and respected and not afraid of the future.

[26]She speaks with a gentle wisdom.

[31]Give her credit for all she does. She deserves the respect of everyone.

... and governor Wambora equally loves and values his partner.

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. 

An accident scene along the Nairobi-Meru highway

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.

Kithinji Kiragu accused Lenny Kivuti of buying poor people's IDs

 “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! 

Lenny Kivuti (left) and Cecily Mbarire in a past
public confrontation about Jubilee Party

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.

Ms Cecily Mbarire when she joined Kithinji Kiragu,
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...

POLITICAL DESPERATION By Envious Politician Endangers Citizens' Lives

The torn down governor's billboard at Kibugu market in Embu. A defeatist action by desperate opponents. 

Jealousy seems to have taken over the emotions of one of the aspirants contending against Governor Wambora for the Embu gubernatorial position.

The billboard while being erected the previous day

According to eye witnesses interviewed at the crime scene, the perpetrators arrived at Kibugu market around 2am on 7/7/17 in three vehicles with covered number plates. They also wielded firearms. Using a ladder, they climbed up the metal frame and tore off governor Wambora's billboard. One of the watchmen we interviewed said that he dared not get close enough to identify any of them for fear of getting shot.

THE IMPACT

Sympathetic supporters of the incumbent governor said that the haters might have torn down the billboard but they didn't tear up their votes. Neither did they tear up the tarmacked Kibugu road nor any other development projects initiated by Governor Wambora, which include: Installation of State-of-The-Art buildings and equipment at Embu level 5 hospital, ECDE school milk program, and employment of 500 nursery school teachers on permanent and pensionable basis, among others.

"In fact, the shameful act has made us love governor Wambora all the more." Commented one of the residents, as others agreed with her in unison,

REMEDIAL ACTION

As we speak, investigations are under way. The fact that firearms were involved blows the whole affair out of proportion, so that it is no longer political sabotage but a criminal activity. Now that watchers have been deployed to watch over other billboards, let it be known that only one of the criminals needs to be identified and once arrested...their goose is cooked! They'll definitely spill the beans.

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...

WHEN THE ‘RAT’ Decided To Drink From The SAME BOWL OF MILK As THE 'CAT'!

Lenny joining the president's convoy is like rat drinking milk
from the cat's bowl 

Wonders will never cease! 

Ever heard of the rat that shared the same bowl of milk with the cat? Considering that both the milk and the rat is food for the cat...  

It doesn’t take rocket science to tell what will happen once the milk is finished…

Now, before you dismiss this picture as offensive, let’s have a political look at it. 

When President Uhuru Kenyatta visited Embu County recently, he and Deputy President William Ruto had this purpose in mind: To kindly ask the electorate from the region to vote for them in the upcoming general election. They had also visited to drum up support for those aspirants vying for other seats on the Jubilee Party ticket. That is, those who emerged victorious in the party primaries held earlier in the year.

For the gubernatorial seat, the incumbent governor H.E Martin Wambora was the winner, while his main competitor, Lenny Kivuti had ran away from the battle and ditched Jubilee Party for Maendeleo Chap Chap. It was therefore quite unbecoming for Mr. Kivuti to tug along the president’s convoy, knowing very well that he had betrayed the party. No wonder the president didn’t recognize him but spoke highly of governor Wambora.

Looking at the top picture artistically, the president’s visit was the bowl of milk, and you can tell as much as I can, who between ‘cat’ and ‘rat’ is likely to devour the other once the milk is finished. (Politically speaking)

   

MORAL OF THE STORY: It is not very wise for one to insist on sharing his competitor’s meal.
