TRACK RECORD TO INFORM WHO TO BE THE NEX GOVERNOR OF BUNGOMA COUNTY

There has been a survey by researchers and even members of the media on ways and modes of operation of the majority of political leaders of Bungoma County on various matters. This has revealed that some leaders are liked by the people even beyond their area of jurisdiction because of several factors

1. Performance:

Across the county, some leaders bit others by far in terms of performance assessments and analyzed the manifestations presented to the people in comparison with the groundwork done so far.

Didymus Barasa the member of parliament for the Imilili constituency is leading in terms of performance across the board. About the manifesto sold to his electorate, he plays within the lane. Improving the livelihood of those who are low-income, constructing houses for those in such need, building modernized classrooms within his constituency improving the road network in his constituency and the majority of roads in Kimilili are not comparable to any other constituency in its surrounding except Kabuchai.

Didmus had a conscious mind of what he was sent to do 

This reminds us of Ethiopian minister Haile Mariama who was ruling ruthlessly Ethiopia became a very backward nation that appeared to be struggling to recover from the work of colonialism though it never lost its independence. Something that made Cmbelle Czenawi abandon his medical studies to pursue the rogue regime of Mijistu Hail Mariama and he removed him.

Hon Didmus Barasa must have assessed the leadership of former members of parliament of the Kimilili constituency right from late Hon Mark Barasa, late Hon Elijah Mwangale, Hon Mukhisa Kituyi, Hon David Simiyu Eseli, And Hon Murunga.

The work of the five former MP rolled into one cannot compete with the work done by Hon Didmus Barasa within six years as the MP 

This track record informs you of who this individual is and possibly that is why he made it the second time as the MP for the electorate of Kimilili constituency assessed his previous work and approved it to be excellent.

He awards tenders following the procurement procedures to the latter.

What is unique is that he has instilled discipline in those seeking tenders for if one wins a tender you must do a smart job. You must finish the job within the agreed timeframe. Going contrary to that has its disciplinary measures something that is applauded by the majority. For it is very unprecedented to have a projected allocated funds and launched like say in 2019 and by 2023 it is still incomplete. One must question the service delivery of such a leader and equally you must wonder if the electorate is to benefit from such a delayed project. 

Hon Didmus Barasa is the latter-day King David of the Bible in whose leadership the country got salvation. And being human he may have his normal weaknesses. 

Recently a survey was done by one of the popular radio stations with the majority of fans within Bungoma county to evaluate the possibility of Hon Didmus Barasa's performance in the Kimilili constituency and all wards in Kimilili said as follows. 

1. Kibingei ward

2. Kimilili Township ward

3. Kimilili Rural ward-

4. Maeni ward 

5. Kamukuywa ward 

This survey was done randomly filling a questionnaire and the results were amazing this confirms that Hon DIDMUS BARASA's re-election comes in 2027 as an MP of the Kimilili constituency is guaranteed 100% unless he otherwise decides not to vie in that category.

The same radio station decided to hold the same statistics on the possibility of a Governor come 2027 following the looming fact that the said legislator is eying to succeed H.E Kenneth Makelo Lusaka. Statistics done across the county in nine constituencies were as follows;

1. Kimilili constituency 98% unconditional.Tongaren constituency 81% unconditional 

3. Webuye East constituency 67%unconditional 

4. Webuye West constituency 71% unconditional 

5. Kabuchai constituency 76%unconditional 

6. Sirisia constituency 79% unconditional

7. Kanduyi constituency73%unconditional 

8. Bumula constituency 65% unconditional 

9. Mt.Elgon constituency 63% unconditional 

Such statistics inform that Hon Didmus Barasa is liked not because he speaks well but because there is sufficient evidence all over the Kimilili constituency that he is a man who keeps his word and works around the manifesto he sold to the electorate.

Seemingly there is a paradigm shift where the electorate is not looking at the popularity of the party within the region but the track record of the work done to re-elect a candidate in a particular position.

It is also reflected in those who are new in the elective positions the electorate is learning that some new pretenders who seem to be angels end up being a liability to that elective region. There must be a scorecard to assess. Hon Didmus is getting this through pass to Governorship because of their track record. Depending on who will back him 

Sometimes good leaders lose in elections because they had agents whose PR is wanting in those particular areas. Scrutiny ought to be done in assessing who to have on this team.

Secondly, the majority of the electorate complained of the notion of the party that some political parties make potential leaders slaves hence forcing them to do what the party directs. Hence causing underperformance. 

The early bird catches the word.!!!!
