Kasee.

I was having tea in one restaurant along Ngong Road recently, and a kasongo person walked in. He works in one of the lucrative parastatals! He narrated to me that after Sifuna had the Kitengela rally, which I guess was the second one after Busia. Kasongo asked his people, "Na huyu Sifuna tutamfanyaje?" They all answered in a chorus, huyo ni bure. One of them, who is an ODM leader, told him, "Your Excellency yule ni moto ya karatasi, huyu hatafika April before asaulike!" The main argument in that meeting was that Sifuna never had money to sustain more than 3 rallies in the country from the Kitengela one! 35 weeks later, Sifuna has gone to more than 20 counties campaigning and getting massive reception! He doesn't look like someone who is stopping any time soon. Now you understand why Kasongo is nearly running mad about the issue of Sifuna. He was never prepared for it, and he never suspected that it would become what it has turned out to be. The guy revealed to me that in all the meetings kasongo and his people sit in, they must discuss Sifuna. The reason why he is always insulting him in every rally he appears in! That kasongo almost goes nuts when he imagines the kind of disruption that Sifuna has done to his political plans for 2027 that were already complete! The plans were to; ● Ignore Central, Kenya, completely because they'd lived to reality by November last year that Rigathi Gachagua had already disrupted everything. ● Have Musalia Mudavadi or Oparanya, any that the numbers would be favoring as the Deputy President, retain Wetangula as the Speaker of the National Assembly, and be assured of the Western vote. ● Take the Prime Cabinet Secretary to the coast and give it to Joho as he worked to retain all the Raila allied politicians from the coast to be assured of the coastal vote. ● He had plans to use incentives of development promises and post election appointment promises for him to be assured of the Luo vote. ● For Gusiiland, they never had many plans because of Dr. Matiang'i's dorminacy, and they believe that he will be on the ballot. He promised his allied MPs in Gusiiland a lot of money to campaign for UDA, and told them that he only wanted to achieve 25% from any of the two counties or both and any of them who'd lose elections would be appointed in his government as a first priority. ● In North Eastern, he would win it by giving them incentives, too. Businesses and appointments. He also assured them that the Somali would easily get IDs without hiccups, something that is already happening. These are the few things that I can remember. He equally told me that he had a bigger challenge that has eaten his head since about Nairobi because of Babu Owino's candidature. That kasongo doesn't want to lose Nairobi in whichever ways, but by last year, he was almost accepting that if Babu vies, then he'd definitely win against Sakaja. Sasa msishangae kwa nini kasongo amekua wazimu. Ni hesabu zimearibika kabisa!
