Get the facts from this story then decide for yourself!
This is an exclusive story that you can only find from Ja mtaa. Ja mtaa wishes to expose an elaborate plan in Lang’ata constituency that will see to it that prime minister Raila Odinga’s politics does not see the light of day anymore in Lang’ata constituency.
Let me start from the background. Lang’ata people have only known one MP for two decades now, Raila Odinga; Majority of voters in Lang’ata are luos (some even register from other constituencies just to vote for baba); Kibera slums have been a fishpond of votes for Odinga in the past years (purely consists of Luos);
Variables this time round;
If the constituency is indeed divided into three, then this is the scenario. Only Kibra is exclusively Luo. South C is cosmopolitan and elite, same as Karen. Trust me; these people don’t give a crap about Raila. (They can’t be told what to do)
Kibra is composed of the following estates; the larger slum area, Highrise, Rongai, Lang’ata L.A.
Kibra has got five wards. Sarang’ombe (Mostly Luo), Mugumoini (Kisii), Lindi (Nubians and some Kambas and Luhyas), Line Saba ( kikuyus-stretches up to Kenyatta market) and Makina (Almost all are Nubians).
Sarangombe is composed of a bit of slum and a bit of estate: there is Olympic, Ayany estates and Kiandaa slums (Bombolulu and 42) and then Gatwekera slums (Soweto and Kisumu ndogo.. watu wa kung’oa reli)
So it will actually be four wards against Sarangombe’s luos.
The following have expressed interest in kibra. Ken Okoth (Luo), Gore (Nubian), Alinur (Nubian) all were born and raised in Kibera.
Raila has indicated that he will front his son Fidel and ‘Ukiona wao” Ndolo Reuben who has been imported from Makadara. Raila is also said to be fronting Ida’s cousin by the name Mbuta Likasu (no kidding this is a name!) for a ward seat in Sarangombe which has about 30 contestants. (I hear he is based in Sudan)
Most likely, Fidel will stand in kibra because that is where his father used to get the majority of his votes from. The problem is, if Ken Okoth still stands, then the luo vote will be divided. If he does not, he is not likely to support Fidel hence join the two Nubians (who will actually be voted for by the other tribes) and Fidel FLOPS!
Then the other plot is to ferry voters from other places. (like Beth Mugo ferried 25,000 people from her constituency in 2007- No wonder Livondo had somehow many votes and Mugo lost; though she found her way in anyway)
These voters will be registered in Karen and South C because Kibra people would know them hence raising the red flag.

Raila’s votes have been spoilt by the same people who support him, the Luos.
Some of their queer behaviors that the others do not like are;
They do not pay rent. ati baba alisema. (yet none of them own houses)
their arrogance. (ati sukisa hapo state house-Ayany stage)
ODM politics also seem to have found its way into Lang'ata because it looks like George Aladwa's
supporters think Odinga doesnt want him to be chairman ODM Nairobi county. He wants Wanjiru.
(he thinks ODM will have a national outlook when Wanjiru is chairperson.)
so the Luhyas are also thinking twice before voting for him. they feel sacrificed so much.
Nonetheless, it is only fair to wait and see if Raila will work his magic this time round.
