YOU CANT LECTURE US ON HOW TO DO DEVELOPMENT; You are a failure- Tunai tells Ngong

Governor Samuel Tunai and Emurua Dikirr MP Johana Ng’eno
almost came to blows yesterday in front of Deputy President
William Ruto.

Tunai was responding to criticism by Ng’eno of the national government and the Narok county at Poroko Secondary
School.

Governor Tunai told Ng’eno to mind his own business and leave the county and national governments to those who know better.

Ng’eno stood up to confront the governor but was restrained.

They were at the homecoming of Environment PS Charles Sunkuli in Trans Mara West subcounty.

Tunai told Ng’eno he has no moral authority to question the two levels of government, since he has failed as a legislator and in his “personal life”. “Ng’eno has failed to find a wife to marry or even
construct a home for himself – besides engaging in siphoning
funds from the CDF kitty.

He should tread carefully since
we are going to deal with him politically,” the governor said.

Tunai said he would ensure the MP, who is campaigning for the Kanu candidate in the Kericho senate seat, is not re- elected.

“Ng’eno is not a Jubilee member and he campaigned for Peter Kenneth for President. He should not purport to lecture us on how to run the government,” he said.

When Ruto stood up to speak, he steered clear of the drama and said Jubilee is going to win the Kericho senate seat by a landslide.

DP Ruto ally Oscar Sudi MP Kapseret goes KANU WAY

Rebellion against Deputy President William Ruto in the Rift Valley gained momentum yesterday after Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi quit the DP’s camp to back Kanu in the Kericho by-election.

Kanu candidate Paul Sang and Jubilee’s Aaron Cheruiyot are the front runners in the March 7 mini-poll.

Sudi warned more Jubilee politicians would stop backing the coalition, because of unfulfilled pledges made by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

He said projects in the Rift Valley have not been implemented, frustrating residents. “We support the direction being taken by the people of Kericho, because that is the right thing to do,” Sudi said.

“Whether they like it or not we will support Kanu in Kericho until they put our house in order.” He said they will suspend support for Jubilee until the projects are financed and implemented. “We cannot drum up support for Jubilee, yet projects budgeted for the Kalenjin have been ignored,” Sudi said. Yesterday, Ruto pledged to meet URP rebels. He accused the rebels of trying to divide the Kalenjin community.

Ruto said he is ready to meet the group and listen to their concerns. He spoke at Ngiito Secondary School, where he commissioned classrooms and a school bus. Ruto was accompanied by Narok Governor Samuel Tunai, MPs Patrick Ntutu (Narok West), Martial Robi (Kuria West) and Korei ole Lemein (Narok South).

NAROK CATTLES CROSS THE ROAD IN THE NEXT MINUTE; DRIVERS BE CAUTIOUS

YOU CANT SEPERATE PASTROLISTS & THEIR CATTLES

COW can cross the road anywhere in narok;  It doesn't  have Zebra crossing.  Alot of scary and grisly accidents have been occurring along Narok roads from mahiamaiu to Mulot.

Tracks buses hitting and killing hundreds of cows. Some kills them and speed off. We are coming up with verbal laws on this.

Compensations plans on those caught takes century. The government should provide guidelines on the rampant incidents.

BLOCKING of roads by hungry residents has been the immediate solution that the owners of cattles take. Innocent passangers suffer and will take hours and days for them to proceed in their journey.

Drivers can control this menace and drive responsibly and cautious. Its just like your real estate in nairobi or kisii and a guys just throws a bomb which brings it down in seconds. How do you feel.

Of course thats how Maasais feel when you run over their cattles on the road; We know most of the cases are not intentional but someone TAKE CARE.

MOROMPI'S LAND IN TRANSMARA ISSUE NEEDS POLITICAL FREE APPROACH

The former vice president Ole morompi land in Transmara is the limelight again for some inclined reasons. The issues surrounding the said land has been a thorny problem to the moitanik people who live there.

Long ago the elders of moitanik gave the former VP the land voluntarily which later in1980s Morompi acquired the tittle deed which again used to secure a loan of up to a whooping sh 35 Million from AFC.

In 2003 the area MP allies from uasin ngishu tried to encroach to the land which was inhabited by the moitanik clan.

In 2004 Moitanik clan protested the move which has then brought bad blood btw the Uasin Gishu and Moitanik people. Through the Lawyer kiplenge and former MP Julius Sunkuli lead counsel led moitanik to court to challenge the move by uasin ngishu to live the land.

In the rejoinder Konchellah tried to intervene and his argument was for the land in question to be set aside for a university and both clans vaccate the land.

Later AFC were interested party because Former vice president had their loan unpaid.

In 2015 The court ruled in favour of moitanik clan being the absolute owners of the land but Morompi had already acquired the loan which was to be paid upfront if the AFC & Morompi wont be the beneficiary.

After meditation the court merged moitanik and AFC as owners of the land which they should divide. Morompi had to take 1000 acres and moitanik 1000 acres.

Uasin Gishu had to vacate and contested few land that borders moitanik and Usain ngishu a place where Ole Nkoimu lives.

AFC after they got their share sold it to DP William ruto who has then fenced the land which is adjacent to the Governor’s Tunai land near Olmotonyi.

So far the problem is not with the sharing of the 2000 acres between moitanik and AFC which the tittle are being generated but the border between moitanik and uasin ngishu which wi be sorted soon after the tittles will be out.

POLITICS

> Our people have generated a name calling hypothesis in order to get a mileage which in essence the vice versa is true.

> Some people are draging names to fomer leaders that they sold the land which in essence they are the one who contested the issue for moitanik who lives there (me included)to get the shares.
> We are our inside enemies and that is being witnessed outrightly.
>No land was sold not to Morompi or AFC by moitanik who lives in Morompi land and (if any who knows give us details (

REALITY

●Moitanik wi get their 1000 acres in full
●Moitanik are the rightful owners of Morompi.

MY TAKE
Our people you know when you're too busy combing the feathers of the king, you tend to solve every problem around with the comb in your hands.

An Historical solved problem needs to be challenged with the intellectuality it posits.

Politics and Rhetorics is a bridge we crossed long ago. I'm sorry brothers politicking the morompi land and by the way if you put up tent, while they crossed.

Scratch the scales on your eyes and have a better view of the world especially when things need amicable soultions.

Never oppose and make refute blindly, no matter what's at stake. Resuscitate your ability to question moves before you make them.

Narok EMPURKEL WATER FALLS, The Next tourist destination.

By MOSES LEKURA DAPASH

Waterfalls are commonly formed in the upper course of the river. At these times the channel is often narrow and deep. Water falls in the country are the most tourist attractions sites.

When the river courses over resistant bedrock, erosion happens slowly, while downstream the erosion occurs more rapidly. As the watercourse increases its velocity at the edge of the waterfall, it plucks material from the riverbed. 

Whirlpools created in the turbulence as well as sand and stones carried by the watercourse increase the erosion capacity. This causes the waterfall to carve deeper into the bed and to recede upstream. Often over time, the waterfall will recede back to form a canyon or gorge downstream as it recedes upstream, and it will carve deeper into the ridge above it. The rate of retreat for a waterfall can be as high as one and half meters per year.

Narok County is a reservoir of resources; someone can actually say, it is a sleeping giant as far as resources on rapid Water falls, Agricultural produce, Game reserves are concerned.

The waterfall (pictured below) is located at Empurkel near Enoosaen in Transmara Sub County.

It is a tourist attraction site with very exciting features including a height of up to approximately 100 metres! It has a narrow gorge and heavy vegetation around it with a whirlpool approximately 5 (Five)feet.

This area has the potential not only to attract the tourists but also a great economic power of the rich agricultural backyard.

To access the waterfall, one goes through a meander of interlocking spurs and through an undulating slope of the hill ridge which for hikers and picnic seekers is a breathtaking experience. It is picturesque and quite appealing to the eye and refreshing to the soul.

Residents are urging the county or national government to take immediate neccessary measures to protect this natural resource from encroachment of the inhabitant a d develop a sytem  to mint revenues both from local and foreign tourist in the site.

Declaring his Interest for kilgoris MP 2017, OIBOO MORINTAT calls for Inclusive Leadership

A Call for Inclusive Leadership/Uongozi kwa Wote

My friends, I salute you-

I have been a Member of KCW since its inception.

I became a member KCW by virtue of being a son of KCW. More importantly, I am a member of KCW because I share in the teams core principle- Courage. Throughout history, men of courage have conquered kingdoms and empires or prospered kingdoms and empires.

KCWs chief object is to unite KCW and select 1 candidate to vie for the parliamentary seat.

I am humbled by your overwhelming vote of confidence in me. Your vote of confidence in me is an affirmation of your belief in the talent that we are so very much well endowed with in KCW. It's a vote of confidence in our youth, our future generations and in our foresight.

As a candidate proposed for vetting, I limited my interactions within the group and only occasionally made interjectory comments. I am aware that like me, my brothers and sisters who had been proposed as candidates, had also assumed spectator positions in almost everyday of debate. Because of this, TCW courage has not made sufficient progress in executing its mandate. We have shared too much but have so little to show for it.

I am here to remind KCW that, here, it's business unusual.

This is an unusual statement. I want us to embrace leadership that unites, inspires, encourages and promotes the ideals and aspirations of its people.

And this is why I want to unreservedly and unequivocally confirm to KCW that I am offering my candidature for the position of MP-Kilgoris. I am committed to your scrutiny and vetting.

My presence on this stage is unusual and against many odds. I am not the most experienced candidate, neither am I the wealthiest. I am not many things a traditional favorite should be. Am not the oldest. I am the unlikely candidate. But one thing I know, like the proverbial dark horse, is that am a sure instrument and agent of change.

In my few years in this world, I have dedicated myself to serving my community. At 25 I served under a council of 30 elders mediating on a peaceful resolution of the Shartuka Group Ranch conflict. In 2011/12, I led legal petitions against IEBC on behalf of the people of KCW following the unjust delimitation of wards. In 2013, I represented more than 10 nominated MCAs -including daughters- Sialo, Lucy, Rahab, in a precedent setting legal suits against their nomination.  Today, I am proud of the work our nominated MCAs do. I am glad I made my small contribution. Currently, on a pro bono basis, I am representing the residence of Kapune Location in a suit that seeks to transfer Kapune Sub Location to Trans Mara East. And everyday in my life, I ask not what my community can give, but rather what I can do for my community.

I am committed to work with all stakeholders to create jobs for the youth and to support entrepreneurs, uplifting the poor, bettering infrastructure - roads, education standards, peace and harmony etc

I, like my peers, could have opted to pursue excellence in the corporate world, and which by all standards have been on the first lane, but I undertake as demonstrated by modest contribution to the society, to dedicate my skills and efforts, together with you to lay strong building blocks for development for the current and future generations.

This is the start of a constituency wide dialogue, but as they say, charity begins at home. That's why I am engaging you first. I shall continue the conversation first with the people of KCW and with the people of Kilgoris. Through this dialogue and conversation, I intend to build consensus among our leadership and people.

I salute men and women of our community who have made contributions in different spheres of life (social, cultural and economic). I seek to further their aspirations and noble intentions for this great community.

I hereby also offer a gesture of mutual cooperation and understanding to my brothers and sister who have been proposed alongside me.  I harbor no differences with any of them. While I know none of them has asked me for my support, I want to ask them--all of them
to throw their weight behind my candidature -- for the benefit and interest of the community. I want to work with all candidates to deliver this seat to KCW.

My learned Senior Sunkuli, my brothers Simon and Seitai, my brothers Nangeya Steve, Joel, Wilson, Kelele and my good sister Janet, the Iron Lady of Kilgoris, I ask you of your support. I am reaching out to you not because I am the best; but because I know we can achieve the best working together.

From East to West, North to South and the land in between, the winds of change are blowing.

In KCW, let the winds of change blow, not because we must change but because change is inevitable and beckoning.

Let us embrace the winds of change and harness it for the benefit of our people.

With the winds of change with us, we herald a new beginning for our people.

Winds of change that will inspire the young,and sooth the old.
That will constantly remind us to leave KCW better than we found  it.

Let the winds of change blow. Let us all move to an all inclusive leadership. I am ready to work with all irrespective of all the barriers of age, gender, clan and/or tribe.

Long live Kilgoris. Long live KCW.

Thank you
