By Joel Eshikumo.  IN the run-up to last general elections, some people stood up and made sacrifices that boarded on their political careers. They had to cede ground on several matters all in the name of well being of the political outfits they belonged to. Mama Iddah Odinga fetting Hon. Tim Wanyonyi as the most organized and focused before the last polls. - photo courtesy  Westlands MP honourable Tim Wanyonyi is one of the Luhya sons who stood up and said a party is bigger than an individual. It's on record he gave up his gubernatorial bid even after he heavily invested in the race towards being the governor of Nairobi. The otherwise good-hearted lawyer stepped back and saw the ODM ticket handed to a green horn Polycap Igathe, despite that both the seat and the Office was his for the taking. Honourable Wanyonyi had to swallow his pride and settled to run as an MP in the dying minutes of the election period.  Somewhere along the line, ODM leader's spouse Mama Iddah

A fierce storm has hit the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) threatening to tear apart the Raila Odinga led outfit over Parliamentary Committee positions.  In a hard-hitting statement, the youths drawn from Nairobi led by Westlands ODM chairman Evans Ochieng, Mr Odinga has been told to rise to the occasion and reclaim the party from cartels and conmen’ who have ‘invaded it’. According to the ODM youth members and their leaders, the ODM party leadership has shown disrespect to Westlands MP Tim Wanyonyi, who was the Azimio chairperson for Nairobi in the last elections by denying him chance to lead powerful Parliamentary committees.  Mr Wanyonyi, stepped down from contesting for the Nairobi Governors seat in favour of little-muscled Polycarp Igathe who lost terribly to UDA’s Johnson Sakaja.  Mr Wanyonyi was the people’s favourite and would have easily won the contest but he was forced by Raila and then President Uhuru Kenyatta to step down against the wishes of majo

A look at applicants to fill the positions of Chief Officers reveals individuals whose history tells alot.  Individuals, most who have excelled in previous positions while others did not shine as such.  The list of applicants who have been called for interviews tells stories of courage against hopelessness. A case of hope is that of CPA Charles Tung'a, from Matete Subcounty, Lugari Constituency who is among the Professional Accountants lining up to help the Governor actualize his mandate to the people.     _@eshikumo2030_ has combed his profile from the public galleries and he ultimately stands out from the other Accountants shortlisted and would be the best bet for CFO role.. Public records show that CPA Tung'a who served as Director of Internal Audit from Co-operative Bank where he had worked for over Eleven years in Finance& Compliance Departments, set up one of the best Audit department that his predecessors have failed to measure to his high standards.

OUR attention has been drawn to reports on social media that Honourable Peter Oscar Nabulindo the Matungu MP is chairing a committee to help Mumias East MP Peter Salasya get a wife. We wish to state as such. As we speak now, the honourable MP has seen the so called membership in the erstwhile committee on social media and in the newspaper. I also came across footage of my colleague the Kakamega Woman Representative Elsie Muhanda saying that she had appointed me as chairman of the marriage committee.  Let's get this clear, the voters of Matungu MP expect much more from him in service delivery than phantom committees that only exist in utopia.  It's my wish to disassociate myself from such reports and caution all those spreading such that an MP's job is not to attend or respond to mundane things that don't add value to Matungu.  Honourable Peter Nabulindo's immediate concern is to see how orphans are going back to school and how CDF-funded projects can be
