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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
