In Nairobi’s Gubernatorial race, all said, none is a perfect guy; all got where they got and did things they shouldn’t have for whatever reason I don’t know. But assuming they want the good of this city. A guy’s gotta do what a guy’s gotta do. And before you judge them (or me ), each of these men is a product of you, Kenyans.
So lets take a look at these candidates in Nairobi’s Gubernatorial race:
Miguna
That noise you’re hearing is like the shouting of spectators watching football. You understand the issues. However, you need to understand the psychology and workings behind the men and women who will actually be working with you. Your chances of success as a governor will be higher if you find a way to get on the advisory teams of whoever will be governor. Stop assuming everyone is a fool and that you are the brightest guy in the room. If you can do that, which I doubt you are capable of, you will have psychologically grown to the level you need to be a successful governor.
PK
You’re the only one who, if you punched Miguna in the face, would have gotten my vote straight. A guy, where’s the mettle in you? You will do very well and impact many lives as a corporate leader without changing a thing, more than as a politician. However, if you still want it, it will be a nightmare for whoever becomes governor. Be a loud critique, put them on their toes. Show yourself to be an Alpha male who can stand among other men and hold his own.
Sonko
You might get the vote, but that may not be the right move for you now. Stay on as a senator for another term. Ditch your running mate. Whatever you think your running mate has got, I can assure you, you can get from Kidero. You’re better as his student and workmate, not his critique. You can learn fast and are probably headed to be Kenya’s youngest president. But a guy, you need more brain than gangster brawn. If you move ahead, between you and your running mate, one will be in a casket sooner or later. However, if your gang influences these borders (like the Russians ?), you’re good to go.
Kidero – boy, do you need to campaign and money, lots of it!! Hapa hata kama ni kuiba kura iba! You have done what you could in the first five years and learned your lessons. Lessons you should have learned before stepping into the office. To stay in, what got you in will keep you there. For legacy, your big projects have to be implemented, but the little things people see should be addressed as well. Rubbish collection, clean city, water, and don’t ignore you partnering with populists (Sonko) or addressing the issues critics raise publicly. People may not get the big picture, but they are the voters.
