MIgori County Electoral Politics

The stage for next years General Elections is taking form. The country's elections body IEBC has set out training and consequent registration of voters.

In Migori county, interested parties are mapping out strategies. Sad to note however, is the tribal dimension and perspective in the build up. The county is largely home to three tribes. The dominant Luo (Abasuba), cross-border Kuria and the Luhya Maragoli.

A recent visit of Kenya's Prime Minister to Kuria has unmasked rather unpalatable reactions. In the visit, it emerges the Kuria politicians presented him with a memorandum to steer the county's campaigning and selection of representatives. It is understood the memorandum is designed to allocate seats tribally. The Luo will go for Governor seat while the senate seat will be contested by the Kuria side. So will be youth and women seats. now this didn't go down with the Maragoli people. Neither do the Luo/Suba accept it wholly.

In a televised debate in a local TV channel, participants strongly refuted the understanding, saying it was doctored by individuals with interests to certain seats, hence seeking easy options. They called for any interested parties to vie for the seats without prejudice.

Participants in the debate held at Sony Sugar Complex, touched on various development and leadership strategies by the governor aspirants. Also discussed was the contribution of the societies cultural practices, more-so FGM, in the poor performance and living of the locals. Sugar politics did not stay away either. It emerged the county has four sugar millers in place, a fifth being proposed. But the bad in the sugar politics came when it was claimed one of the governor aspirants has had a hand in cane diverting to other millers, some outside the county. He cited a 'willing buyer, willing seller, highest bidder' policy, to get the farmers good bargain for their produce, a policy that was rejected by Sony sugar administration.

The tobacco industry too was on table. And if facial expressions are anything to go by, the participants were more than relieved and happy in an aspirants bid to set up a tobacco processing unit in the region instead of transporting the crop miles away to other regions, losing on "value addition."

'Chicha' is Success, so is Ole

As Sir Alex Ferguson was hailed for his 26th anniversary at the helm of Manchester United, there was no doubting what was to occur. 
Mexican Little Pea, Great P-for poacher, continued his resurgence as United's 'go-on-score substitute,' there was an ominous gesture from fate just 24 hours later.
In Norway, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer celebrated as Manager, as he led Molde to a second consecutive league title. It was as if the universe were pointing first at Chicha, then to Solskjaer, then back to Chicha again and declaring in a booming voice: "This is the one."
 
Chicha has been pointed out the accurate replica of Ole. The two men are often shy of headlines. But they just can't avoid the tabloids back pages.
 
At Old Trafford, most are times when they started on the bench. However, gaffer de' chef Ferguson, wouldn't hesitate to throw them in at moments of despair. Times that needed a savior. No playing on pitch kind of player. They have never disappointed in their assignments.
 
Ole, came off bench to score goals, beat opponents, often in the dying minutes. With a game to play (dying minutes) Molde have secured the Norwegian tiltle. Thanks to super-sub Daniel Chukwu’s header, coupled with a 2-1 defeat for Stromsgodset to Sandnes Ulf.  

Ole's predecessor at United Chicha, isn't ready to live off the comparison. Twice or in doubles, he's won it for United. Villa & Braga (twice) would testify if he were to be prosecuted for pitch troubles.
With the Premier League a defensive bomb site this season, Chicha 'Lord of the Inevitable' Hernandez may well be the Chosen One of goals.

Ole, 39 could be back at Trafford. Who knows. Now you don't wanna guess what his 'partnership' with Chicha would cause opponents.

You be the judge. Read the document in either of the links below.

MARRIAGE BILL 2012

MARRIAGE BILL 2012

An Action Packed Tuesday Night

 The games kicked off at 1045H EAT. It didn't last long before real men showed brilliance on pitch. Arsenal struck first blood at Schalke 04. So did Ajax's Siem de Jong at Etihad. De Jong would be on a brace 7 minutes later. At the Bernabeu, Dortmund made it look so easy to beat Madrid at home. 45 minutes, at halftime course of matches had taken shape. City had pulled one back, so were Real & Schalke. But, there was another 45 minutes to play. The Managers having earned their 15 minutes, it was the lads to respond in the field. And respond they did. At the final whistle, most of the clubs picked just a point from the 90 minutes of play. Classic come-backs!!

Now, don't jump into that famous consolation....'Yep, it's better I slept.' You missed PSG's 4 nil win over Din Zagreb. Money Money Money! Sad the same isn't helping City.


Tonight, Manchester United take the war to Braga. Celtic and Chelsea entertain Barca & Nordsjaelland (what?) respectively.


ION, Obama is President Again! Tuesday 6th Nov. '12, the People of The USA cast their final votes to pick president for the next four years. In a very contested decision, Incumbent Democrat Obama pipped Republican Mitt Romney 50% to 49%. A close call that was.

In his first in office, the American President who traces his roots in a remote village in Kenya's lake region, skipped Kenya   in his tours. Will we see the same again in his last four at the helm?

City's struggles in Europe

Manchester City welcome Ajax to the Etihad stadium tonight; six points behind group D leaders Borussia Dortmund, two behind Ajax , one point in Three matches and missing key players. Key players comes last because to City each one of them is world-class, hence they can afford not to register Kolo Toure in their strong squad in the tournament.

Defender Joleon Lescott (back) and midfielder James Milner (hamstring) failed to make the side at West Ham on Saturday and are unlikely to play.
Right-backs Micah Richards (knee) and Maicon (foot) and midfielders David Silva and Jack Rodwell (both hamstring) are again missing.
Defender Kolo Toure is not registered for the competition

The defending English Premier League champions are having it hard in the Europe's elite stage, actually worse than last season's campaign.
This far is their performance in the championship.

• 18 Sep: Real Madrid 3-2 Man City
• 03 Oct: Man City 1-1 B Dortmund
• 24 Oct: Ajax 3 Man City 1

City may be flexing muscles in the EPL, but have flayed to replicate that in the CL. Even so, there EPL campaign has also been shrouded in struggle despite keeping a 100% so far.

In the same group Bundesliga hit boys Dortmund are away at Madrid hoping to hold or best beat the Spanish champions at home. If it comes to pass, it wouldn't be a surprise as Dortmund overcame Real in their first leg 3-2.

Group D

Position	Team	Played	GD	Points

1	Borussia Dortmund	3	2	7
2	Real Madrid	3	3	6
3	Ajax	3	-2	3
4	Man City	3	-3	1

Tomorrow Manchester United face Braga. United are top of group H having amassed maximum points in the three matches played, whereas Braga lie third, 6 points adrift.

Messi is Father; But There is More.

Current age football (soccer) great, Barcelona and Argentina star Lionel Andrés Messi is a father.
Messi's girlfriend Antonella Roccuzzo, gave birth to a a baby boy, Friday 2nd Nov. 2012.
The couple named their son Thiago Messi.

The football family is awash with congratulatory messages to the couple. But wait, that is not the only news the baby's birth brings to the world. Thiago has come to the world with a mission. To take the on-pitch rivalry between his father and real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo off the pitch, onto a whole new level. Maybe (and so we pray) in a few years the war will find its way back to the pitch.

Thiago Messi is born exactly 869 days after Cristiano's Cristiano Ronaldo Jnr.-born on June 17, 2010.

This is where it begins....
Cristiano Ronaldo was born Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, OIH, on the 5th of  February 1985.
Eighty Hundred & Sixty Nine (869) days later, June 24, 1987, Lionel Messi came to earth.

Congrats to the two fathers and their boys.
 To the boys, the stage is already set for the mother of all rivalries. Game on.
