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.
