Wanjiku Muhia’s inflammatory speeches should concern every voter in Ol Kalou. With only 30 days to the by election, the political temperature is being raised instead of focusing on issues that matter to wananchi.
What is even more intriguing is the claim by Rigathi Gachagua that he is retreating to Wamunyoro for 45 days, yet the Ol Kalou contest is entering its most critical phase. If he truly intends to stay away from active politics, why are his allies escalating tensions on the ground?
Many Kenyans have seen this script before. When political actors anticipate controversy, they sometimes create distance between themselves and events while maintaining influence through proxies. It provides a convenient shield of plausible deniability when things go wrong.
The people of Ol Kalou deserve a peaceful, issue based campaign free from intimidation, inflammatory rhetoric, and political gamesmanship. Leaders should be selling ideas, not stoking emotions.
As election day approaches, all eyes will be on those who preach peace in public while their allies push division in the field. Ol Kalou voters must remain vigilant and reject any attempts to drag the constituency into unnecessary political chaos
