Kalonzo Musyoka’s son Klein Kalonzo is likely to venture into politics to represent Mwingi North residents in the August House.
The news of his probable political career starting 2017 sparked mixed reactions from Kenyans including veteran politicians he is likely to face.
The former VP’s son has a constitutional right to vie for any seat but the family economic and political dictatorship in Kenya gives the electorate a right not to vote for him.
Kalonzo Musyoka has been a regional point man for decades but the Ukambani situation has only changed marginally thanks to devolution.
Mzee Kenyatta’s community still has poppers with a small fraction of wealthy individuals while Oginga Odinga will not be happy to see the situation of Luo nation if he resurrects today.
Musalia Mudavadi’s father will definitely collapse if he finds a divided land of Mulembe and Wamalwa Kijana will not like the negligible positive impact Eugene Wamalwa has had on the community since the former’s demise.
Has Baringo been changed by family rule? The young journalist and rapper has minimal chances of being different from the mentioned leaders.
What will make him use a different formula in undermining the poor to maintain the status quo? The music producer and singer might win the hearts of Mwingi North voters but little change should be expected.
There is a high probability of Klein Kalonzo emulating his father’s leadership techniques. Kenya is suffering because of family leadership dominance and rivalry.
Ukambani should not worsen the already ugly situation.
