Political analyst Dennis Anyoka has predicted doom for Jubilee Party candidate for the Kibra parliamentary seat McDonald Mariga.
Mariga has since been cleared by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) after initially being blocked for missing out in the voter registry.
This also follows revelations that the soccer star is not a registered voter in Kibra, which the commentator says will make it super hard for him to carry the day.
According to Anyoka, also a lawyer, the mere fact that Mariga is not a voter in the constituency he seeks to represent will result in questions on his moral authority.
"Yeye yuko na shida mbili, ya kwanza ni political; hana integrity, itakuwa vigumu kwake kuongelesha wananchi. Wewe unatafuta kura, kura ya nani na wewe mwenyewe huna kura?," he said on Radio Maisha, Monday morning.
This translates to; "He has two issues and the first one is political; it will be hard for him to convince the voters because if you don't have a vote, how so you go looking for others' whose vote do you want yet you don't have one?".
He listed the uncertainties surrounding Mariga's age as the other integral question that might land him in prison, giving his rivals an ample opportunity to crush him in the campaigns.
"When if cleared he lacks integrity, he is lying abiut his age (Hata akiwa cleared hana integrity. Yeye mwenyewe hasemi ukweli kuhusu umri wake)," added the commentator.
In a previous interview, his father Noah Wanyama revealed that Mariga was born in 1981 while he claims that he was born in April 1987.
