List Of Applicants For Speaker's Position In Murang'a County Assembly

With less than 50 days to the next General Elections, leaders who will not be participating in the elections as contenders are as busy as a bee doing all manner of things to ensure they will be part of the next Government.

With the IEBC having gazetted the names of the candidates from the Presidential hopefuls all the way to the Members of  County Assembly, the Now much coveted position in the Counties is the seat for the County Assembly Speaker.

In Muranga County there are reports that Nduati Kariuki, the current Speaker of Muranga County Assembly will be lobbying to have him get back his position.

Others are Kihumbuini Member of County Assembly Hon Moses Gachuui who is also the Deputy speaker in Muranga County Assembly.

Gachui lost in Jubilee Nominations

Gaichanjiru Member of County Assembly Hon Bernard Wanyoike is also said to have submitted his name with hopes of leading the Second County Assembly since inception of Devolution in the Country.

Mr Nyutu who is said to be the proprietor of St Michael's Girls School based at Kenol is also said to have been trying to reach out Jubilee nominees, with an aim of luring them to remember him when they reach to the floor of the house.

The fourth Candidate, Mr Peter Njangi, a teacher by profession who aspired to be the next Murang'a Speaker but his dreams were smashed by Irungu Kangata is also in the list of the four candidates.

According to a survey done by KK online News, there is a high likelihood that the Next Speaker of Muranga County Assembly will come from Murang'a South and mostly in Maragua.

This means that Nduati Kariuki and Bernard Wanyoike from Kandara may not sail through. This is because Wa Iria selected his Deputy, Maina Kamau from Kandara and this minimizes chances of the duo to clinch the much coveted seat.

For Moses Gachuui, his ambitions may not see the light because Gatanga has produced a high ranked Murang'a County Government official, The Deputy Governor Hon Gakure Monyo.

Having no candidate from Kigumo Constituency, we only have two choices Mr. Nyutu and Mwalimu Peter Njangi from Maragua Constituency.

Little is known for Mr Nyutu. He has not been in public limelight neither do the public know of his contributions in selling Jubilee's manifesto.

This could give Mr Peter Njangi an easy and smooth entry into Murang'a County Assembly as the First in Command in Legislative arm of Muranga County Government 2017.

Njangi who lost to Hon Irungu Kangata in the Senatorial race, was among the First loser to announce that he had supported the winner and even asked Murang'a Senator Kembi Gitura to follow suit. He was philosophical when he lost and swallowed a bitter pill and moved on.

As if that was not enough he started attending rallies, political meetings and church gatherings asking Murang'a residents to come out in large numbers in the month of August to vote for His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta and all the Jubilee nominees.

The down to earth Njangi has been in the teaching profession for the last 28 years a platform that has given him uncompromising skills of running a public institution.

An Mca Jubilee Nominee who requested anonymity, described Njangi as intelligent broadminded and straight forward leader with alot of untapped potential to give wise counsel to Those who would make it to the County Assembly.

"This is the best guy for the seat of Speaker, during the hotly contested gubernatorial politics between Hon Jamleck Kamau and Governor Mwangi wa Iria, he established a peace movement that calmed the situation. He crisscrossed every part of Muranga preaching peace, he should be rewarded for this," the leader told KK online News.

James Mwangi a Kiharu resident acknowledged Njangi for his acts of mercy that has saw over 8 bright but humble students being sponsored by the ambitious and gregarious man.
'Some of these students are at Maragi, Vidhu Ramji Secondary school to mention but a few," Mwangi said.

Describing him as Charismatic, Courageous and ambitious, Mwangi said that Njangi has given the down trodden in the society a shoulder to lean on and his deeds should bear fruits for him being considered as the next Murang'a Speaker.

LEGAL TSUNAMI: 4pm Today Moses Mwangi's Date With High Court

If you thought Dr Moses Ndungu Mwangi was out of the hook over a case that has been filed against him and ruled on his favour was over (of allegations of party hopping ) then you are indeed mistaken.

The case that had been filed by Peter Gatawa, a former Kiru Councillor, a loser of Jubilee party primaries and a close ally of Governor Mwangi wa Iria had been dismissed by Milimani law courts but Gatawa appealed in the High Court with an aim of vindicating his allegations with what he calls un impeachable evidence hoping that he shall get unequivocal justice.

He has filed a litany of accusations against Mzalendo Saba Saba party Gubernatorial Aspirant.

Gatawa urges the Court to nullify Moses Mwangi's candidature over claims that he party hopped from Jubilee Party to Maendeleo Chap Chap and then to Mzalendo Saba Saba party.

Kk online News has since established that Jubilee Party has affirmed that they never received a resignation letter from Doctor Moses who defected from Jubilee party a day before the first flopped party primaries.

The case which have kept Moses and his supporters wide awake will be determined in less that 8 hours from now.

His followers have ants in pants because if it is ruled against their favour then it means that Daktari may not be in the ballot on 8/8/2017 a move that may demotivate them from participating in the General elections.

However if the case will be ruled in their favour then it creates a very fertile grounds for Moses to seek sympathy from the voters who may see this as a move to deny  his political right.

The ruling may make or break Dr. Moses' Candidature something that has made his supporters hold their breath relentlessly waiting for the verdict.

Yesterday Moses took to social media asking his supporters to "accompany him at the Court precincts and offer moral support to our Governor"

He accused his opponent for sponsoring Court litigations in efforts to have him Disqualified to participate in the General elections.

In an emotional facebook post Moses wrote. "They have partially succeeded because his name now cannot be gazetted by Iebc pending the hearing and determination of the case levelled against him".

He concluded with a Bible verse from Luke 18:7&8: "And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly."

We will be closely monitoring the case and we shall be updating you on the proceedings and the ruling of the same
