Opinion:What do silent majority see in a leader?-Kimutai Kirui
Jonathan Bii created followers not sycophants.
In 2013 Professor Bittock’s- Entitlement and pride around Educational background and family made the ground slippery
In 2022 the above-mentioned were relagated to the background.
– Bittock lacked identity.
Political identity took long to manifest.
Bittock should’ve resigned by early last year.
– Entry of Kositany and Serem further complicated the equation
– Sudi made him appear ” a project.”
Branding Bii as a project of brokers and cartels backfired.
Bii’s cartels were invisible, Bittock’s were visible, one is Sudi.
– leadership is not rotational.
Regional balance is ” only applicable to state appointments”
Seat must come to Eldoret south” was a misnomer.
Woo voters,numbers
– Bittock’s propaganda machinery was barren.
Branding Koti Moja a KANU mole or project of cartels refused to get a life of its own.
That’s what prompted Caleb,Sudi and Bittock to come out strongly against Bii.
Koti Moja overpowered Bittock, Sudi and Caleb in social media and the ground.
– Evangelism paid dividends.
For the last five years he ran a simple but very effective campaign of – Koti Moja.
He allowed followers own the process.
Koti Moja embraced all, talked to all and was everywhere
Koti moja is the epitome of supreme simplicity, humilty and love”
Manifesto wachia technocrats and policy implementors.
Koti Moja’s visibility with or without money in baby showers and every function is unparalleled.
He was there in word and deed.
What kill most leaders is going to “selected functions” to show might or flex financial muscle against others.
Bii made a brand and sold the brand – not competing with anyone.
Precedence is well set.
UG voters don’t see wealth, education, class nor status.
They want ” humble, simple and moderate leader!”
Mandago was made governor against Bittock and Buzeki.
Bittock is an elite scholar, Buzeki is an investor, entrepreneur and established businessman.
Bii’s Educational status and background is not well grounded compared with -Professor Bittock – , Kositany – dynasty with refined taste and brilliance- Serem – sophistication and well groomed dynasty or Veska,immediate CEC Nairobi – though humble background was branded arrogant,bossy and combative.
In the meantime Mandago in Senate puts an end to Sudi’s dominance and shenaniganism in UG
