Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga could hardly recall the name of West Mugirango MP Vincent Kemosi during his tour in Nyamira.

Accompanied by several local leaders, Odinga took the assignment of interdicting all leaders only to fumble when it was Kemosi’s turn.

Visibly struggling to recall the new MPs name, co-principal Moses Wetangula had to quickly intervene as locals burst into laughter,

“Let me help you Mr. Odinga. This young man is a renowned lawyer and was recently elected to represent West Mugirango.

“You may not remember him but he has met you quite a number of times. He was elected on a Ford Kenya ticket and he is Vincent Kemosi,” Wetangula said.

Those who have ever worked with Odinga say he rarely forgets names of his close confidents or MPs elected under his coalition.

Kemosi replaced ODM’s James Gesami who unsuccessfully vied for Nyamira County governorship seat that was won by John Nyagarama.
