Muso politics

SHAPING MOI POLITICS.

With the much anticipated day (cross-fire)coming to and end  ,the masses are now beginning to know where exactly to place their votes and when the time came for aspirants to move the masses, they didn’t fail them.
ASSISTANT SECRETARY GENERAL.
Willis Ngeso ,a third year in the school of arts though disabled on a wheelchair proved that disability will not be inability for him to serve the people.Willis lost his father just a week to nomination paper submission but thanks to good Samaritan Abayo Cornel who took every responsibility to make sure he remains in the race .He will surely get a double sympathy votes come Friday.

CATERING.
Lwam Hellen Brahane a lady with discrepant origin because the confuses the mass if he has the Luhya origin or she truly comes from Eritrea has confused comrades for his beauty.The soft spoken lady indeed deserve what she got due to her natural smile and was always on the comrades door seeking support.

HEALTH.
Vera Chepkorir haters call her mama mboga because they fail to differentiate between a healthy or plump director to be has more support as compared to her competitors.Though she entirely depend on the Kalenjin factor who are too many ,she can only loose if Faith Chimoli and Eunice Obath joins forces against her.

GAMES .
Samson wambiri has tried the race several time and seem to have got what he always wished to be.He has more than a large mass to win making it difficult for Stave Nyanjom who plays football. We’ve always liked football than volleyball but now comrades prefer a volleyball player to football player.

SECURITY ,ACCOMMODATION .
The flamboyant David Sanchez has got nothing to worry about because he has got support from every community. The aspirant who had the biggest (5×4)metres banner thought burnt down  will definitely win by 8 am and any aspirant who still thinks he has a chance should be advised to step down before they spend more.

FINANCE.
This most lucrative department is a three horse race between Andrew Amadi,Towett Ng’etich and Volla Owino.Comrades are now confused who to give their support but if each of them maintain the pace till the ballot then either of them will win.

SECRETARY GENERAL.
The class politics is now taking its course as second years defended their own Rathore in favour of Oliver Bill.The third years and the elders though have done everything possible to prevent Rathore whose slogan has been the best “we the people” from printing his banners,posters and fliers.The question is ,is he planning to step down in favour of Bill Oliver so that he get endorsed as the chair aspirant next elections or will he proceed till the last step without the above materials?

ACCADEMICS.
Jairo Moses still proves to be the best candidate if elections are to be held today.He made an appearance bandaged from the previous ethnic conflicts but still strong to the ballot.Everyone admires his physic nature and his efforts to make sure the Moi University Students Organization becomes independent .

VICE CHAIR SEAT.
The race is now evident between Elsie Malaika Muhonja ,Halima or Charity Matheka.The Jubilee coalition seems to be have beatrayed Matheka and if  Kalenjins will withdraw their support for Charity Matheka then Elsie will carry the day.

CHAIRPERSON.
The chair seat has always been associated with pride ,with the outgoing chair been viewed as a failure,there is a lot of expectation from the next chairperson. Don Owino who stepped down in favour of Omondi Geoffrey seem to proceed till the ballot.Elvis Langas and Jared Mogire who rumours have it have got support from different forces from the adminstration seem to be in the comfort zone of supporters as they have good numbers.

With only a day to the big day and the last kamkunji to happen tomorrow ,will the other aspirants maintain the tempo or will they step down, let the ballot decide .
