When the current Kisii Deputy Governor Joash Maangi took a Kisii Delegation to Deputy President's home in Sugoi,

everybody thought that the DG has seen some light. He did everything to justify his political maneuvers, he was more convincing on why he is keen to work with the National Government. He highlighted how the Jubilee government had benefited the Kisii Community through his understanding with the Deputy President William Ruto. Little did we know that the light that he purpoted to have seen was short-lasting and like the proverbial Dog, he has gone back to his vomit.

  Now that the ODM prodigal son is back to his "baba", what are the implication of the DG's latest political move?
  
For Jubilee, it is a win win situation. Maangi going back to ODM is inconsequential in that he had cultivated some doubts and mistrust in the Jubilee team when he started eating his own words after he seemed to have endosed Senator Chris Obure Gubernatorial bid via Jubilee ticket. He set his spanner boys and lap dogs to think and advocate for a nomination contest with the senator and it showed in a way that he is suffering from indecision. The Jubilee supporters started questioning his position in Jubilee, was he cold? was he hot or was he was he "vuvutende"? So in Jubilee faithfuls, he had already sent a clear message that he might have enrolled in Kalonzo's political school of political prostitution and pitia katikati.
  
For ODM, I say ODM because there will not be NASA in the ballot papers, assuredly I say they stand to lose in from Maangi in any circumstance. From the unlikely scenario of Ongwae retaining the Governors seat to the most likely that Obure becomes the second governor of the great Kisii County. If and only if Ongwae wins which is unlikely as a aforementioned, Maangi will still go rogue and continue working with the national government because he has in subordinated once and nothing is going to stop him from the same again. When, here I say when because it is the most likely.. When Obure Makes the County government, Maangi is likely to jump ship and join the winning team. I still see Maangi in Jubilee after 8th August this year and I am made to believe that he is a Jubilee Mole in ODM rather than the other way round.

  As things stand, Joash Maangi is remaining with his head, body and mind. He is politically baseless and the best way to describe him is that he is politically an inverted Conical flask (a small political base and  alarge political body) and you know what that means. INSTABILITY. If you go to Riagongera you will realize that he need needed political reinvention and Raila is thought to be good at that hence the (Launching of the new Maangi) who will be Ongwae's running mate) I think they will run home together and the Maangi will find his way back to the government through Jubilee. Run Home Well Maangi, you have nothing to lose, Ongwae has everything to lose.

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

KISII COUNTY JUBILEE NOMINATED MCA'S MUST BE READY FOR A RUDE SHOCK COME AUGUST 8TH 2017

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
