CHARLES NYACHAE TO BE BAPTIZED IN A DIRTY POLITICAL POOL?

 By Haron Ototo

Immediately after loosing the Nyaribari Chache Parliamentary seat in 2007 to Dr. Robert Monda of ODM, the seasoned politician hanged his political boots. Little was Known on who was likely to take over from the most reckoned Gusii Political family. It is a fact that each and every politician will have an heir to the family political crown which had been  left by their seniors in the family. However, In nyachae's family left everyone guessing.The family political mantle has been vacant for a while now. But, there is some right at the end of the tunnel. Charles Nyachae joining active politics.

As always, there is political baptism for new entrants and it is Nyachae's turn.. It might be in murky
waters, in fire or in a dirty pool of water. But better of all is baptism of your own making in your own identified pool of clean water. May he has already identified his political baptism elements by showing interest in the vacant Kisii Senatorial Seat. Vacant in the essence that the incumbent Senator Chris Obure is going for the Gubernatorial position come next election Read Kisii Gubernatorial race: Obure stands a better chance against Ongwae.
If The ambitious young Nyachae is not going to be careful in his quest, he might end up being baptized in a very dirty political pool. This is because of the following: I am going to mention them in a cliche way of the "infamous undergraduate MCA of the Pre-Matiang'i era" I mean things.

 Thing Number 1. Going against seasoned politicians. Charles Nyachae being a political greenhorn and going against the experienced duo of Omingo Magara and Prof. Sam Ongeri of PDP and ODM respectively will not help him. The duo have been swimming in politics for the better part of their lives. They know the terrain very well and are aware of the mistakes and wrong turns that they had made before hence they are likely to rectify them.

Thing Number 2. Lack of a good political network. Complimenting the aforementioned point, Nyachae lacks a political network of his own. He sometimes looks disinterested, disoorganised and reluctant to creat his own political niche. This is evident in that he has not made even the first step of moving out of the Jubilee Comfort zone to his own senatorial zone. For instance has Nyache ever made his own personal political move especially on the ground? Am yet to hear one.

Thing Number 3. He is yet to break out of his dad's shadow. With all due respect to the best or one of the best legal minds in not only Kenya but also in the region. The ambitious senatorial aspirant has not brokrn out of the senior Nyachae's shadow. He needs to move fast forward and straight a head and make that bold step in investing in his political ambitions. The issue of oligarch may arise at some time but it won't be an issue if he makes the right move of evading a ride on his fathers legacy.
Otherwise some of the best leaders we have in the country inherited the mantles from their family members. People like Raila from the dad, Onyonka from the dad, Uhuru from the dad, Joyce Laboso from her sister, Gideon from his dad, Mudavadi from the dad.... I don't see a problem if Charles picks it up from where his dad left.

Thing Number 4. The division in the clan.  A part from being his senior in politics, he also come from the same clan as Nyachae. Here I am reffering to Prof. Sam Ongeri who has maliciously moved from Jubilee to ODM. Both Nyachae and  Ongeri come from Omonyaribari clan and they are going for the same seat, Kisii Senatorial seat. The political conflict between the two will likely lower their stake in the bargaining table of local politics.

However Charles Ayako is a very intelligent mind and if he wins the Senatorial seat nothing can stop him from even becoming the speaker of the senator since he is a respected brain and a good leader as exhibited from his leadership in the Constitutional Implementation Commission and also his experience in being the Former presidential Candidate's (His father's) engine and think tank can not be overstated.

ANTHONY KIBAGENDI MAKES JOASH MAANGI'S STINT IN JUBILEE LOOK USELESS AND HE IS NOT BEING MISSED..

By Haron Ototo Tony Kibagendi in one of the Kisii Roadshows, Photo: Felix Adams Before turning back to his vomit, Kisii County Deputy Governor Joash Maangi earned a name as the most important pillar in Jubilee as far as Gusii Politics is concerned. He was thought taunted to be one of the best mobilizers, strategist and political managers from Gusii. Everyone trembled in his name's mention even from the ODM team which pretended not to care much about him.  In fact, some ODM members were trying to water down his influence and called him names such as a tumbocrat or an empty shell. In away they believed that his departure at the time was insignificance and he was to be easily replaced when the time of shopping for Gov. Ongwae's running mate. Wait! They remained with a rotten egg in their face when they went back and begged him to run with Ongwae. By that time (going back to ODM) he has lost trust with his current team and I think because they missed a replacement on mat

By Haron Ototo Ababu Namwamba is a name which brings about quite a number of attributions, every Kenyan will associate him with one thing or another. For instance in 2007, he is remembered for swearing his allegiance to Raila Odinga. "Kwa uaminifu kwa Rais Raila Amolo Odinga" He said in parliament. He is also alleged  to have recorded a conversation with his former boss Raila Odinga, He is credited with bringing forth the ODM Reloaded "program" to re-brand ODM when it looked like it was going down to its knees. Budalangi MP Ababu Namwamba. Photo: courtesy Ababu Namwamba is a good orator, he has a good command of both English and Kiswahili... In fact even journalists who interview him tend to learn either a new phrase, word or both. Now that Ababu Namwamba has already fallen out with not only Raila Odinga but also his former party ODM where has his latest maneuvers moved his political stature? Has he upgraded or downgraded, has he become static. His Ababu Na

By Haron Ototo The speculation on the heir to the "vacant" senatorial position in the Great Kisii County is unlikely to calm down soon. After it had seemed so clear that the voters were going to chose from either seasoned politicians in Omingo Magara - Former South Mugirango MP and 2013 loser and Prof. Sam Ongeri - Former Nyaribari Masabo MP both of whom share one thing in common: losing the 2013 race to the current senator and the Jubilee gubernatorial aspirant under Jubilee (Chris Obure) or the son of former powerful Minister and presidential aspirant Simon Nyachae, Charles Nyachae who was the CIC Chairman until it was disbanded... Their is a new entrant, an unlikely entrant who has caught the aforementioned trio by surprise. Isaac Mokua Onchagwa (Isaac Bw'amabati). Kisii Senatorial Aspirant, Isaac Onchagwa Addressing the press. Isaac Onchagwa who comes from Bonchari Constituency has been Jubilee Organizing Secretary for Kisii County  until he announced his inte

By Haron Ototo Photo: Jubilee MCA aspirant for Bomorenda Ward. Hon. Mosoti Before and during Jubilee Party nominations in Kisii County, Jubilee hopefuls for the region's most coveted party Jubilee were riding on a high. Most of them could pick calls at anytime of the day, most of them could come down to earth to prove their point on humility. Some of them could go as far as applying a two hand shake salutation. This was to create an impression that they were the best. On the above factors, Jubilee ended up with dead logs as the MCA candidates to Kisii Count Assembly. For instance, in south Mugirango Constituency, Moticho Ward, the best candidate lost due to amalgamation of Opposition friendly candidates leading to the loss of one of the strongest Jubilee Members. Hon. Evans Mokoro who is the Deputy Speaker of the Kisii County Assembly, One of the few MCAs who were elected on a TNA ticket in Kisii lost because all his issues were left under the waters and they were not fairl

JUBILEE WAVE UNSETTLES AND STARTLES NASA CAMPS IN GUSII REGION

By Haron Ototo Jubilee roadshow in Nyamira. Photo: Felix Adams In one of  Mr. Bean's famous movies "Johny English" the operators in the villains camp played down John (The main character)  as influence by calling him an idiot. However, the main villain warned them of  of looking down upon an idiot who has the tendency of showing up when needed. He turned out to save day. The worst mistake which worked against the villain's camp was prejudice. As the anecdote above, NASA has had the tendency of writing Jubilee off in Gisii politics to the point that they felt in a comfort zone. Now as things look, the damage has already been done and the worst is yet to come and NASA have been caught off guard not once, not twice but many times. The Jubilee infiltration is causing anxiety, settlement, fear, embarrassment and the negative attributes of a potential looser. To some extent, NASA local operatives have resorted to unorthodox means to frustrate Jubilee campaigns in th
