ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi, Governor Wycliffe Oparanya, Ford Kenya leader Moses Wetangula and recently Dr Mukhisa Kituyi have all expressed their intentions to vie for presidency.
My Opinion is that no one among them could be fit to take over the State House.
The few reasons among many are the evident failure of these leaders in making sure that the standards of living in Western Kenya are raised.
Under the watch of these leaders, Webuye Pan paper Industry (now Rai paper) collapsed with Musikari Kombo as the Minister of Local Governments and Wetangula in government as a Foreign Affairs Minister.
Mudavadi was by then the Deputy Prime minister under the coalition government.
Under their watch, Mumias Sugar company is no more with Wetangula as the Minority Leader of the senate before he was brutally erased, Wycliffe Oparanya as the governor and Musalia Mudavadi among the top opposition leaders.
Nzoia Sugar company is also on the brink of collapse.
Then in comes the importation of cheap sugar from nearby countries and the debate on maize importation basing the fact that farmers from the region are maize growers.
The rivalry of political parties based in the region also typically shows that they have no concrete method of uniting themselves leave alone the region and Kenya at large.
Among many reasons, these can make one to vote against there ambitions for presidency.
These politicians can best be compared to a father whose family is suffering from hunger yet he promises to donate food to hunger-striken regions.
Infact, their ambitions are a lullaby not only to Western voters but to all Kenyans.
