Watu wa rware (nyeri) wamekataa kuchukua kura. 20% of target. Jubilee has appointed Karangi to head the team for mobilizing registration.
On FB forums, it's hilarious reading the comments. One of the questions asked most is why did they bring an outsider ? Only to be told that Karangi is actually from nyeri. And most folks still can't believe he is a nyerian.
If jubilee were keen, they would now realize that it is scary to sell the "uthamaki" crap.
A son of nyeri rose to become the CGS and a good number of nyeri guys don't believe he is from their county.
Because he never shared the goodies. Had he come from Nandi or Baringo, there would be announcements during army recruitment in all churches asking for the names of all young men and women who would wish to join the army. But in mt.kenya, that doesn't happen at all.
But Kibaki was different. He didn't have to share the goodies. He simply enlarged the national cake and we all jumped in. Only limiting factor was your swiftness and hardwork.
During Kibaki's tenure Sisyphus bupamba was still spreading the usual lies of....oh elections were stolen, oh this government is tribal, oh...the economy is not doing well, oh...sijui nini...oh sijui nyef nyef.
Danganya toto jinga narratives pereka huko nyargunga ama luanda k'gweno ama kirima nditi ama gathuki mundu village...don't patronize mzee Baks now and yet you were all against him and his presidency to the extent of causing bloodshed in 2007...Don't bullshit people with narratives of sijui under Kibaki things were different or sijui such and such happened or could not happen etc.
Dumb money becomes dumb only when it listens to smart money
