In terms of development ...Charity Ngilu ....has perfomed better than Kalonzo .....

The upside of Kalonzo is that he has kept his name away from the mega-scandals that have hit this country ...to 'Mr Clean'.... this could be a reason for his n celebration...

@Sage
Kalonzo didn’t defect, it's Raila and Co who defected and organized to buy off one Imanyara's interest in ODM, which he had registered immediately after the referendum for speculative purposes – paid off handsomely.

It pains me to endure supposedly well informed people, reading from the same script as the hoi polloi.

The sense of having an MP is - representation in parliament (legislature),– read legislation.
The duty of developing the country (all constituencies) is bestowed on the Govt. which collects tax from the citizens and other residents within its boundaries.

A non corrupt MP has very limited legitimate way of sponsoring development in his/her constituency.
From this wisdom, which I find warped, Ngilu, who is not reputed for her abhorrence of corruption, would be thought to be a better MP!
I compare that line of thought, to a careless parent who unquestioningly enjoys his/her sons fruits gotten from Ngeta and/or car-jacking escapades.

I would understant if we were calling upon an MP to mobilize the people to work for themselves to better their lot, or beg from some international benefactors, that they give some grants of sorts to help constituents.

Mwingi north is a semi arid area, and very vast as a constituency. An MP, however “development conscious” can only bring about some very little tangible impact in effecting any significant change, in the infrasctural and economic status of such an area.

Surely, blaming someone over climate and its effects can only be attributed to hatred and contempt.
Using that line of thought, then all the MPs of North Eastern Kenya, Coast and Turkana- pokot areas are very bad.

While at it, show me one Mp who has developed his/her vast constituency, without using undue influence (corruption). Don’t cite independent govt effort, or other NGO efforts like the Mathare 4A, and Kibera slum upgrading exercise.

Demanding of our MPs to delve in corruption to bring us “development”, on the one hand, while perennially whining over the harm corruption is doing to the greater good of the country, is not only contradictory, but also hypocritical.

Kalonzo has his short-comings as a person, but failing to develop a constituency is not one of them.

Celebrating 25years on the job is a natural thing just like people celebrate their birthdays, marriage etc.

Come on people

railaholics have never forgiven kalonzo for not giving them a landslide victory.
