Now now now, as someone openly supportive of Peter Kenneth, I am disappointed in his choice of running mate. In the eyes of many, and especially his detractors, PK's greatest liability is his relative inexperience in politics and governance. According to me, that is not true and I am willing to defend that view if tasked to do so.

Nevertheless, politics is about perception. Kenneth's choice of a total political greenhorn for a running mate is completely unrealistic. I understand the extent to which PK is determined to present an alternative face to the politics of this country, but that's no reason to ignore basic horse sense.

Ronald Osumba may very well possess all of the qualities we want in a great VP, but politically, he delivers nothing to PK. At the end of the day, this is a political contest, not an aptitude test for a job with Sony Ericsson.

Some will say it makes no difference. That PK will lose every which way you look at it. But as a young candidate with a couple more chances in the future, you don't want him losing with 50,000 votes. It's bad for him and it's bad for those who believe in his leadership. He still has my vote, but I think his choice of running mate will only reinforce the perception that he is not very serious - or realistic. When you are a presidential candidate, you don't people calling your judgement to question. And they have once before when he told them his creative team gave him "Tunawesmake".

Yep, this selection has really brought PK's judgement into question.

nkt! naskia kiwaru! But Peter is well known for effortlessly turning stones to gold. He has made many hustlers into big MEN in Gatanga, some, billionaires today. This young man may be poised for greatness. The things this guy has done for his pple will not be forgotten soon. Kura kwa Ken.

What was wrong with Tuju anyway? At least Kenyans are a familiar with him. And by the way there's still a lot of Kenyans who haven't the foggiest idea who Peter Kenneth is. Peter Kenneth himself! To think he has to sell himself, sell his policies and on top of that see Osumba? Bad move, I assert.

That my guy probably has no much choice. The choice settled on by the eagle team for the running mate was probably the only one available given that all the other good guys are scattered all over cord n jubilee to ride the wave to wherever, n maybe tuju declined. I say we the eagles remain intact. We are lucky he is a very patient man.

Birds of the same feather. All the three: Tuju, PK and Osumba are Starehe alumni.

PK better also be investing some time in mashinani to market his party otherwise it will be very embarrassing if his party fails to secure a single seat even the lowly county rep come march 5th!
