Babuon today declared himself cord flag bearer in 2017 without “consultations” and immediately wetangula jumped ship with this rebuttal “crowds are not votes” Even worse was when odm cheerleaders were telling crowds in western that wetangula should quit the Presidential race and ran for Nairobi governor under cord. That has also hurt their sponsor gov. kidero.
Mtu hupigwa na bibi ndio munathani atakuwa tishio kwa baba? Western iko locked. with or without Ford K. Na baba amesema 2017 kura ni suti. Kuanzia MCA hadi president ni chungwa.
Politics is the art of persuasion, something odm has never learnt. I knew odm will never fail to disappoint, the knee jacking reaction to Ababu resignation with western chest thumping tour was very poor strategy. Now apart from Ababu, you have arose Madvd core supporters and burnt bridges with wetangula. DP Ruto is laughing and watching keenly at the chess board so far.
Wachana na huyo male socialite, where will defect to next, from madvd to wetangula and he can’t go to odm because of gov.oparanya. He has burnt all bridges in the crowded political scene.
Journalist beaten up at ODM rally

A journalist was seriously beaten and injured during CORD leader Raila Odinga’s rally in Port Victoria, Budalang’i constituency. Moses Masinde, a MediaMax employee, was accosted by rowdy youths while recording anti-Raila demonstrations that were taking place at the market. At the time, Raila was busy meeting ODM delegates nearby. Police came to his rescue and rushed him to Port Victoria Police Station. His camera was vandalised and tape snatched during the chaos.
“If it were not for the police, I would be dead now. My body is in pain. The camera is totally damaged and they ran away with the tape. I also lost personal belongings,” said Mr Masinde. He recorded a statement at the station. Area police boss Lemmy Njiru cautioned residents against engaging in acts of violence. “Officers were nearby and stopped the crowd from injuring Masinde further. We recovered his camera from the crowd and he was rushed to our station,” said the OCPD. Budalang’i MP Ababu Namwamba condemned the incident and termed it as unfortunate. “Why stop a journalist when he is covering an event. This is barbaric and cowardly behaviour. They will need the same journalists to cover their demonstrations. Violence will not change people’s mind on the ground,” he said. Kenya Union of Journalists (KUJ) voiced its concern over the escalating cases of violence against journalists ahead of the next General Election. KUJ Secretary General Eric Oduor said: “We condemn the attack on the K24 journalist at the Orange Democratic Movement rally in Budalang’i constituency. We call upon police to investigate the matter and bring the perpetrators to book within the shortest time possible. As a union, we will use our network to track down those who committed this offence and ensure they are held to account for their actions.” The attack was also condemned by Political Journalists Association of Kenya, which called on supporters of political parties to be tolerant.
