NASA SHOULD NOT IGNORE THE CENTRAL VOTING BLOCK; SHOULD TALK AGENDA NOT TRY TO BE-DEVIL UHURU WHEN CAMPAIGNING THERE. By Armstrong K. Abala. There has been a perception that the central and Mount Kenya region cannot be convinced to vote for a different individual apart from their ‘own’. Having spoken to several friends from the region, they are all in agreement that what NASA needs to do is make inroads in the central region to seek support in the coming elections. However, they also agree that that while campaigning in the region, NASA should not give a perception that their main aim is to remove Uhuru/ Jubilee out of power but that they should sell their transformative agenda and leave the people to decide on who to vote for. It is not a hidden truth anymore that many of the central people feel dissatisfied by the Jubilee Government, it is not a lie that they are also affected by the high cost of living that has bedeviled the nation since the Jubilee regime t...

IF YOU CANT SEE DAMAGE DONE BY JUBILEE, THEN YOU CAN'T BE SAVED. By Armstrong K. Abala It is not our fault that some people are so ignorant to the facts that are on the table. It is not our concern that some people cannot tell between what Jubilee promised in 2013 and what they have delivered to us in 5 years. It is not our problem that some people cannot understand or see the state of common mwananchis' living conditions since jubilee took power. It is not our damn concern that you can’t see the level of corruption since jubilee took power. It is not our fault that some people continue to believe in your tribal chiefs as they have continued to sell to you the Idea that a Raila presidency would spell doom to you yet they have been in power since independence and members of the larger Mount kenya are still in poverty; makes me wonder who then is responsible for that poverty.  It is also not our fault that some people have decided to remain in their t...

JUBILEE'S CONSTERNATION EMANATES FROM REALIZATION THAT NASA HAS SCOOPED THEM, HANDING THEM WHAT THEY LEAST DESIRED IN THE  PERSON OF RAILA ODINGA, AND THE IDEA OF OPEN GOVERNMENT. Article by; KIBISU KABATESI published by The Star Newspaper on 4th of May 2017 Jubilee is missing the point in trying to discredit the NASA power and governance structure. Its argument is threadbare. More correctly, Jubilee is on a slippery slope as a torrential political wave beckons. They must first explain how power concentrated in two individuals is better than power spread out to many before making a myth about NASA. By that time, they are likely to be out of office, given the punishment their horrendous experiment of a duopoly has meted out on Kenyans. Jubilee is shocked for two main reasons: The NASA ticket they so much pretended not to want but dreaded has been unveiled, and NASA daring to announce publicly and, therefore, asking to be held accountable for what is normally kept confid...
