I beg to differ. Even if kabogo & sonko vied on ford asili tickets they would have won. Martha played very little role in ensuring both wins. The money factor also played a major role in the wins for kabogo & sonko

maina njenga did help the bishop...seems starehe will have this bishop for ever..such a pity

My point exactly!The same goes for Bishop.She could stil have won even if on Shirikisho.I agree with you that Kabogo and Sonko used money.Wanjiru on the other hand played smart politics(never mind integrity)...Has anyone noticed Raila is increasingly shying away from by-election campaigns?Could it be the Mugirango and Matuga shocking results?

lincoln said 'people get the gov't they deserve'-a society of thieves begets leadership by thieves.
since we aspire to be like the first world,why do we play politics of the underworld?would sonko,kabogo, mbungua et al secure a party nomination in the west let alone be elected.I've just lowered my expectations of the kenyan voter.

Kumbee hata media haina influence sanaa on the votes uko grassroot they also dismissed/abused Bishop.......today I join the church in the celebrations of the Bishop victory....The church has a voice in the parliment,someone who can stand by the church despite the stand taken by her party and the party leaders.
