WALTER MONG'ARE NYAMBANE UNDER SIEGE FOR MISHANDLING KISII YOUTHS

-
By Haron Ototo

 Yesterday, 26th July 2017 turned out to be a day of frustration and  humiliation to not only the youth of Kisii County but also to the local youth leadership. All this happened of the re-known MCC, Radio Personality blah blah blah who brought about Nairobi politics to Kisii count in the name of  President's Uhuru's messenger. The NACADA, Youth Enterprise Fund function turned out a flop and Nyamabane is a man under siege on how he managed the reimbursement of the youths present.

The rain started beating Nyambane when he announced that each youth could get 1500/=, this sunk well with those in attendance. However, the expectation was that the reimbursement could be conducted honorably in collaboration and cooperation between the local youth leadership led by Anthony Kibagendi and the 9 constuency Coordinator present. But it turned out that Nyambane was hell bent to humiliate the local leadership by: Pretending to have the energy and guts to call over 1000 youths by name, to disregard the youth leadership advise and to turn a deaf hear on directions and alternatives of successful reimbursement.

The chief "Reimburser" at one instance could not even attend to pleas to change the strategy even when it was crystal clear that the exercise will flop. He remained glued to his microphone giving headless instruction and as time went on, the more he became big headed.

The straw that finally came to break the camel's back was unleashed when all of a sudden his Public Adress System was off and he was no where to be seen. He had furnished into thin air, youths were left stranded, they had no money and no means of getting out of the venue. Some youths even started to question Nyambane's credibility and wondering why he did not let the disbursement exercise be done under the leadership of Kibagendi, Kuranyi, Orioki, Motari and others who had more knowledge on the exercise who have done it successfully many a time. 

Up to now, over four hundred youths are stranded in Kisii town with hope that Nyambane will be accountable on what transpired and on the other hand the request the County Commissioner to sort out the issue once and for all.

As at now the questions on the minds of the many frustrated beings in the aforementioned exercise are the following:
1. What was Nyamabane's main agenda in the event? It looks as though he sufferers from superiority complex and he was a man on a mission to prove it in the expense of the function's main agenda.
2. Is Nyambane real for the youth? If yes, why then did he disregard the youth leadership in the crowning of the exercise?
3. If he real stood for accountability has he insinuated, then why he chicken out before the exercise even got midway?

Finally I think Nyambane owes us a very big apology. Us here referrers to the youth who left the venue empty handed, slept in the cold and are still roaming in town. He also must apologize to the local youth leadership and also say where he took the cash meant to reimburse the youths in attendance.

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 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).

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

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
