DASHED HOPES: A MAJOR BLOW TO JAMLECK KAMAU
Contrary to the expectations of many, most of the Jubilee losers have failed to be nominated both in the National Assembly and the Senate.
Save for a few like former Runyenjes MP Cecily Mbarire and his Starehe Counterpart Maina Kamanda who will get nominated to the National Assembly and Beth Mugo who will make a comeback in the Senate, some political bigwigs who were floored during the Jubilee Party nominations are missing in the list.
This is despite remaining loyal to the party and declining to vie on other parties or vie as Independent candidates for various seats but opting to campaign for the party.
In Muranga County, former Kigumo legislator Jamleck Kamau who was trounced by Muranga Governor Mwangi wa Iria in the highly contested gubernatorial nominations is among the politicians campaigning for the Jubilee Party and the re-election of Uhuru Kenyatta under Uhuruto Express initiative.
Time and again, President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy have been on record saying politicians who failed in the primaries but opted to support the Jubilee Party will be rewarded with plum state jobs and nominations to key positions once they form the next government.
With their names missing in the nomination lists for the National Assembly and the Senate, it remains to be seen whether they will be nominated as Cabinet secretaries with their supporters high with expectations for this to happen.
However, this will only happen if Uhuruto and the Jubilee government win the 8th August 2017 General Elections. His goose and that of other politicians will be cooked if NASA wins the elections with some of his supporters expressing this concern, as its highly unlikely NASA will nominate politicians aligned to the Jubilee Party.
Although positions are many in government Jamleck Kamau's supporters are looking forward for his nomination to this coveted position.
The clock is inching closer to the General Elections with less than 40 days remaining.
Unbelievable: Wa Iria's Dinner Attracts Who Is Who Gets Millions
One Month to General Elections, Murang'a Politicians who eyes different elective positions are leaving no chances to boost their quest for political positions.
From Members of County Assembly candidates to the Presidential candidates, are doing all manner of things to lure voters to consider them in the ballot paper.
However most of them are grappling with financial challenges an obstacle that is surely derailing them to get a platform and probably share their vision to Wanjiku.
A good example is Wangu Mca Candidate Mr. Michael Chege Who has been creative enough to plan a goat eating ceremony that will take place at County Pride hotel at Muranga town to boost his campaigns.
He was vying the same seat on a Jubilee ticket but was outnumbered by Isaac Kamote's votes.
Moses Ndungu Mwangi, a Mzalendo Saba Saba candidate for governorship has also gone broke.
Ndungu has opened a pay Bill number where he is pleading with Murang'a electorates to Help even if it's a coin since Lack of Kifeeti is about to shutter his ambitions.
Governor Mwangi wa Iria is also in the list of those who seem to run out of cash.
On 29/6/2017 Wa Iria organized a dinner at Safari park where the entry was a plate of food worth Sh 100,000.
Majority of his supporters did not make it due to the intensity and sensitivity of economy but they were with him purely on prayers.
"I have been with Wa Iria through thick and thin but I could not manage to attend the high profile dinner but I kept him in prayers, " one of Wa Iria's staunch supporter who many people refer as a goon told KK online News.
Wa Iria's event however managed to attract who is who in the echelon of Jubilee leadership where Cabinet Secretary for Roads Hon James Macharia and Permanent Secretary for Planning and Statistics and Muranga's son Irungu Nyakera Were among the notable guests.
Others were Contractors and business men.
According to an officer who attended the function but requested anonymity, Wa Iria got over 20 Millions without counting those who pledged but did not honour the promise as at Yesterday.
The money will go along way in the 'Finishing line' especially with his competitor, Moses who seems tired and gasping for breath seeking for Campaign monies.

SHOCK:Murang'a Youth In Love With NASA's Manifesto Tear Down Jubilee's
The two major political parties in Kenya ie Jubilee and NASA have launched their Manifestos that will act as road map for the next five years should either forms Government.
NASA Coalition under the stewardship of Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka launched their vision to the Country yesterday a day after Uhuru Ruto's Jubilee unveiled their agenda in a colourful ceremony.
While Raila Odinga seems to concentrate on strengthening devolution, improving the living standards in Kenya and matters to do with social justice Jubilee is keen on promising continuity of their already established programs.
However majority of Muranga youths feel that Jubilee's manifesto was more of PR Stunts, a vision that can only be attained in dreamland.
Mwangi Maina a resident from Mathioya Constituency, has described Jubilee's manifesto as a lie, complicated and un realistic.
"Where is Jubilee Government going to get 1.3 Million jobs while they did not actualize 1 Million jobs they promised in 2013?" Mwangi wondered.
He castigated Jubilee for 'Not delivering on their promise.'
'They promised us 5 utra-Modern Stadium but that has not been actualized'
Mwangi noted that the ruling Coalition has given a manifesto that fits in already developed state while Kenya is developing Nation.
On Jubilee's promise of offering paid internship, Mwangi laughed off the idea saying that the move was just but a beautiful lie.
"We are currently living in deficit, and going by Jubilee's populists move we will have to pay more tax,"
However Mwangi said that NASA on the other hand had a very clear and workable manifesto that could be of essence to many Kenyans.
In a 72 page document, NASA promises to bar any Government official from working with the Government as measures to curb Corruption.
"Their Manifesto has a sense of inclusivity and if conceptionalised, will spur economic growth, he said.
A down to earth gentleman said that if electorates would be considering Manifesto, NASA would be elected early in the morning.
On his part Allan Kamau dismissed Jubilee's manifesto saying that Youth issues were not well articulated.
"These guys are promising a Six lane Superhighway from Nairobi to Mombasa which is estimated to cost Over Ksh 500 Billion, without forgetting a Ksh 329 Billion Standard Gauge Railway. This means that we will live to pay these debts, Kamau exclaimed.
