The guy is taking the attention away from the presidency with Kenyans divided on whether it was better for TNA to front Mbaru. Murithi MutigaMurithi Mutiga wrote:Jimnah Mbaru would make a far better Nairobi governor for everyone. His plan to raise a bond to build 500,000 cheap housing units, for example, would have been a good first step to get rid of slums. My vote will now switch to Evans Kidero.
But I understand where the massive support for Waititu and Sonko springs from. It can be summarised in the slogan that the populist leader of Venezuela Hugo Chavez uses to win elections despite the wishes of the middle class and better off Venezuelans. Somos la mayoría “We (the poor) are the majority.” Gitau WarigiWarigi wrote:If it were not for the unfortunate Kenyan fixation with mob “democracy”, our nascent parties would do well to start off with something akin to the British model of selection.
That would have forestalled a situation like that of TNA forcing a ballot between a man of the calibre of Jimnah Mbaru and a fellow like Ferdinand (or is it Clifford?) Waititu in Nairobi. It has turned out to be a national shame.
A party that accepts to front a guy like Waititu as its candidate for governor of Nairobi does not deserve to be given national power in Kenya. A rebuttal from Ole ItumbiOle Itumbi wrote:He is the perfect offspring of Nairobi poverty, Middle class hustle and upper class comfort. He even went to India for his degree, he understands what ails Nairobi, to heal the wound of the city he needs to bring in the right nurses and a doctor at the top.
That said those writing off Waititu might just be shocked by his plan for the city which I will await to see but am certain it will have great plans for security, Education, Health, garbage collection, oppurtunities, Industry and political management.
Embakasi was ranked 5th in CDF management under his tenure, he has done well building several health clinics, hospitals, upgrading roads and defending his people, that record must count for something.
Its interesting that most Kenyans on Social Media have been asking TNA to 'rig out' Waititu saying he throws stones and does not fit the bill

From someone's FB wall: Quote:I was once in a meeting at Embakasi Umoja III section where i had been requested to attend to advise a host of residents whose humble dwellings had been earmarked for demolition by bulldozers only for Waititu to stop the demolition in the nick of time with Police all over him and chaos...
The crowd was cosmopolitan with Kikuyus, Kisiis, Luos, Kambas in the mix....and guess what...
Waititu arrived and explained to the people the odds he had undergone to stop the demolition..how he tracks the court registry for fake orders...how he has spies in the police force who inform him when demolitions are about to be secretly executed...how he knows every hole in Embakasi and how he knows the land question in Embakasi like the back of his hand...and how no Mhindi na matajiri wengine will ever evict people from Embakasi while he is still alive..
He concluded the meeting by telling the people that hapa Nairobi ata kama wewe ni chuma(referring to the landbarons with dubious titles)...lazima utaonyeshwa chuma ingine yenye itakutoboa...
Everyone left that meeting swearing that they will vote for him to death for whatever position he vied!!!!!!!
Alafu jamaa anakuja ati sijui masterplan..sijui vision..sijui job creation....kuja kama chuma iko tiyari kutoboa ingine nkt!!!!

Hata hivyo I think there were more qualified candidates for the tna ticket. You will know that you have arrived when money and time are not mutually exclusive "events" in you life!

People (particularly the press) have been crying for democracy. And when the people now freely choose their leaders, the press is unhappy and want leaders chosen in boardroom deals. They now want the people's choise waititu rigged out. Do they want the chaos in nyanza, where poll winners have been denied victory, to spread to Nbi? We should all respect democracy.

He should stagemanage a demolition 2 weeks to election,and then oppose it in his combative style.This will be a game changer.

And Embakasi might not be Gatanga but i have seen Waititu do some great job using the CDF kitty there. He even got into a fight with the illiterate Mwangi Thuita, chairman of Embakasi ranching company, over public utility land when he was looking for places to put up schools in ruai and he won the fight. You all know what those thieves at the land company were planning with that land.

This is exactly what Gitau Warigi is suggesting. That TNA should rig out the choice of the people. If the media is right that Waititu is a bad choice then I guess democracy is bad and we should be a technocracy instead of a democracy. Let's have a board/commission like we had for IG, CJ and AG publicly vet governors and their deputies, Presidential candidates etc

Unfortunately, Elective Politics is not a Job application as some people want others to believe, its getting the masses support you. That is more difficult than a job interview or writting a good CV.
I honestly admire YT2. He represents so many people who are voiceless, people who would be victimised because of their "chalacter", vanquished because they have degrees from india etc etc.
Those who think that Kidero can "beat him" will be in for a shock.
If Jimnah wanted to win TNA nominations, he should have been more cleaver than supporting YT2's disqualification based on education background.
He should have paid YT2 handsomely and offered him Deputy's position or something. Am sure he would have agreed assuming no intervention by the dark forces
