Former Embakasi MP Ferdinand Waititu has won The National Alliance's Nairobi Governor ticket.

Mr Waititu saw off the challenge of Nairobi businessman Jimnah Mbaru in a close contest.

He polled 17,223 votes against Mr Mbaru's 14,029 votes.

Former Nairobi Town Clerk John Gakuo managed 461.

Mr Waititu will now battle it out with the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) candidate Evans Kidero.

Waititu would be disaster as governor; but not everyone will weep if he wins

In Summary

  • What counts: It's not the people who vote that count. It's the people who count the votes

One of the first things you notice when you go to a slum in Nairobi is the number of services on offer that are unknown elsewhere in the city.

Phone charging: Sh10. That is because virtually all the adults in the informal settlements have mobile phones but the majority have no electricity connection.

Water: Sh20 per container. Most houses do not have water connections. According to UN-Habitat, about 65 per cent of Nairobians live in slums. Only 22 per cent of them have water connections. Compare that with the higher income groups (11-12 per cent of the population) who consume 30 per cent of the city's water.

Cooking githeri, Sh15; ugali, beans, ndengu, ngwachi, Sh10; Waru, heating water for bathing, Sh10.

Most heads of households in the slums calculate that buying kerosene at Sh87 to cook at home does not make economic sense when they earn about Sh300 gross per day. So they pay Sh15 to some merchant to do the cooking for them. More to the point, there was this huge poster that greeted the Sunday Nation team when we went on a reporting trip to Mukuru kwa Njenga last year:

"All Land Grabbers, Come Baby Come," and "Mukuru Ndio Ocha (rural home), "We have nowhere else to go, Mukuru is not for Sale."

Those banner signs were put up by an organisation called Muungano wa Wanavijiji which has been working for several years to prevent grabbers from taking the land in Mukuru which is home to hundreds of thousands of city residents.

The group has moved to court and stopped many characters that were allocated prime plots in the slums in the 1980s from carrying out eviction orders.

But the resistance to those evictions has also taken a political character. And, after a week in the slums, we came back aware of the depth of popularity of Mike Sonko and Ferdinand "Clifford" Waititu.

It was Waititu and Sonko who would be on the ground within minutes every time a demolition squad arrived in the service of grabbers seeking to flatten shacks which inconveniently sit on land worth of millions of shillings near the Industrial Area.

Many residents of Mukuru and other slums in the capital are completely alienated from the government. They are not idlers. Many are welders, masons, informal sector teachers, vegetable vendors whose monthly income falls below Sh10,000.

The slums are the only place they can afford to live. But the city council and the government pretend they do not exist. Basic services such as water and sewerage are absent.

Populist politicians and Western governments and agencies have filled this void. When it is not Sonko delivering large water tanks in the slums, you will see embarrassing signs like one we spotted: "This public toilet was funded by the World Bank." In this situation, it is easy to explain the popularity of the likes of Waititu.

Jimnah Mbaru would make a far better Nairobi governor for everyone. His plan to raise a bond to build 500,000 cheap housing units, for example, would have been a good first step to get rid of slums. My vote will now switch to Evans Kidero.

But I understand where the massive support for Waititu and Sonko springs from. It can be summarised in the slogan that the populist leader of Venezuela Hugo Chavez uses to win elections despite the wishes of the middle class and better off Venezuelans. Somos la mayoría "We (the poor) are the majority."

Anyone taking part in future primaries will remember this quote commonly attributed to Stalin: "It's not the people who vote that count. It's the people who count the votes."

Hapo mwanzo niliandika kuwa Waititu akipitishwa tu kugombea,basi Jimnah Mbaru ataangushwa na ni kweli,hata Kidero naye ataangushwa ,kwani sidhani RAO atakuwa na muda wa kumpigia debe huko kwenye slums,ambako naye ana wafuasi wengi.Hapa tunafundishwa jinsi elite/ruling class wanavyotutumia kama kondom wananchi wa kawaida,kwani kondom huwa mawazoni kabala ya kuitumia lakini ukishaitumia unaitupilia mbali.Wenye pesa na wanasiasa matajiri huwa wanaona kinyaa kuwa karibu na watu masikini ambao ndio wengi,ndio maana watu kama akina Waititu,Soko,Dudu(Jamaika) na wengineo huonekana mashujaa mbele ya masikini ambao ndio walio wengi.

Mkuu,

ukieza kupata link, tuanomba uitundike humu tuwasikize wakilonga.

Shukran.
 
one was like a proffesor who
spends his whole life writing a
thesis on how to kill a grain locust,
The other one was the villager who
simply walks to the field and
crashes the damn intruder. The pick
is all yours.
 
I would prefer Kidero for gubernatorial for obvious reasons Kidero is a thesis writer, but has an exemplary record of management in the private sector. Again i fear tribal monster will clinch the day in march 2014

Pia jamani jana kupitia Citizen saa 3 usiku,kulikuwa na mjadala kuhusu maoni ya kura za maoni kupitia kampuni mbili za utafiti. Pamoja na kuwa hesabu hazikosewi bali watoa takwimu ndio hukosea niliona tofauti kubwa katika matokeo ya hizo kampuni mbili. Nilitegemea tofauti isingekuwa kubwa sana.

Pamoja na hayo yule mbunge wa Gwasi alikuwa muelevu zaidi katika kujibu maswali kuliko Kabando wa Kabando(nafikiri nimepatia majina). Sijui ni makusudi au ni uelewa mdogo wa Kabando(nilimfananisha na Waititu Vs Kidero)alishindwa kujibu hoja na kung'ang'ania fujo za Kisumu,mbona Kenya kote kumetokea fujo za uchaguzi wa kuteua wawakilishi.

Pia upande mwingine Kiono na yule waziri wa ODM sijui Otuama? na Bi Murugi waliongea vizuri,tatizo ni aliyekuwa lecturer sijui anaitwa Kipchumba kakimbilia uanasiasa akawa muda mwingi analalama kuhusu chama chake na muungano wao ni wa ukabila. Hakuna asiejua kuwa Kenya kote ni ukabila na hakuna muungano wowote usio na chembe ya ukabila ndani yake na usiozungumzia mabaya ya wapinzani wake.

Hiyo ni mikakati au propaganda za kisiasa.

Huyo Kabando wa Kabando ni Mungiki nahakuna la maana analosema siku hizi. Alipokua Chuo Kikuu Nairobi, alikua
mpambanaji hodari sana dhidi ya serikali ya Moi lakini alipoingia katika siasa za Kenya, ukabila ukamzidi. Kwa sasa
keshakua mpiga debe wa TNA na hana jipya la kuleta.
