KIBAKI RIGGING

From: kwekwe kwe

This has nothing to do with poll rigging.

As n ODM watch dog in Lurambi and its environs, I proudly present to you the defeat of Emilio MK.

Yesterday he was in Shinyalu Constituency, and this is what he received from the rowdy locals:- "We've already elected our MP. His name is Lilechi Lugano . Our President is Raila, and we know you know that. This decision was taken 3 years ago, Mr. Kibaki. We don't need you here." I've quoted the exact words the majority of the booing locals used.

If you watched KBC, you might have noticed a baraza-like gathering. What you might not have seen were the buses that ferried the stage-managed gathering. The cameras must have technically avoided the inclusion of school buses from different parts of western province which were the actual transport of the small crowd you saw. At one point, Mzee had to consult with the outgoing MP on whether the entire consituency is a haven for drunkards, because the crowd was confidently hostile. He was creating a district named Shinyalu.

In Ikolomani Constituency, he was met with the same hostility. the outgoing MP, Hon. Bonny Khalwale, is indeed a wise man. He is a New Ford-K aspirant and Kibaki's sympathizer. How wise was he? Kibaki was happy when he addressed him (Kibaki) in Kiswahili, with these words "Rais jinsi unavyojua, hii ni eneo ya PNU. Sisi ni watu wako." If Kibaki would have bothered to learn a few Luhya words, then he would have spit at Khalwale in the face when he (Khalwale) turned to address the crowd. This is what he said and I quote; " Inzi nyenya Ikura yenyu khushisoko shia bupunge. Rachini eshie ikulu esho, munyi mumanyi mundu wumuha. Mboli Luluhya obira khunjira alahulira ta." Directly translated as "I want your votes on the parliamentary ticket. But the top seat, you all know whom to give. I've talked in parables / in Luhya so that the passer-by wont hear." And the whole crowd applauded the Luhya style (Loud and long). Chances are that even if he wants the parliamentary ticket and the presidential for Raila, he's on his way packing.

Today (Tuesday)at exactly 1:15PM , MK and his entourage was back. What must have shocked the old man was the fact that not a single soul was interested in his presence. I was taking lunch near Kakamega Law Courts today. At exactly 1:10PM , I saw the MK motorcade emerge from the airstrip. Instead of heading to town, they took a 90% turn, through the Provincial administration route then to the State Lodge. % minutes later, MK's Land cruiser passed by, taking the same route, with the boss seated on the back left, alone. Lucy was missing. Believe me you, not even the boda boda fellows were disrupted. It was business as usual, no waving, no stopping, no nothing! I wish you guyz were there to witness this eith wonder of the world. I've never seen this kind of reception. For a sitting president? Aaaah. Hapana.

At 3:30PM , the motorcade resurfaced, on the same route but now sped off towards the main road, avoiding the town centre for the second time. This time round, MK was not in any of the vehicles. The motorcade was headed for Hamisi Constituency. As I was still wondering where baba wa taifa had buried himself, from where I was standing, I saw a chopper rise somewhere near the airstrip. I now knew. He just avoided another embarrassment. The chopper might have taken him directly from State Lodge, the airstrip route, then to Hamisi. More of this tomorrow.

BUT MY MAIN PROBLEM IS VOTER TURN-OUT. I've written to the blog administrator on a way forward for this voter turn-out thing
