Ikolomani MP Bonny Khalwale (Ford Kenya) was at the center of a major drama in his constituency recently when an aspirant chose to arrive in a helicopter and promptly started distributing bundles of cash to the crowd, later he started throwing the cash below from his white helicopter even as he flew away after a brief visit.
Narc activist, Mr 'Moneybags' Livondo was shamelessly caught on camera in national Television dishing out cash to hundreds of people mainly in the form of Kshs 200 notes and in the process disrupted Khalwale's meeting.
Being a Narc-Kenya activist, Livondo's actions speak volumes including the fact that the government is not putting anything to chance in the forthcoming general elections and in particular, the 1.4 million luhyia vote.
It also clearly shows that the government is ready to use cash to ensure Kibaki retains power along with a legion of MPs who it seems will be heavily funded especially in areas already with strong opposition legislators.
It is no secret that Khalwale is a close confidant of Ford-Kenya chairman Musikari Kombo who has of late started leaning in the direction of Kibaki's critics like Raila Odinga and Paul Muite over the minimum reforms debate.
It is also no secret that Khalwale is among the most popular legislators in Luhya land and is among the few who are expected to retain their seats without much effort as they have firmly entrenched themselves where I matters—amongst the people.
Livondo's escapade has sent a clear message to Kibaki's adversaries that not only does Narc-Kenya have enormous funds for its campaign, but the party also has the ability to
cause sleepless nights to legislators who don’t want to support Kibaki's re-election bid.
My guess is that similar incidents may soon occur in Mwingi North and Langata which are Kalonzo Musyoka's and Raila Odinga's constituencies respectively.
Although there is no denying the fact that with deep pockets and the provincial administration on your side, one can always achieve the impossible, but again there are no guarantees as Kenyans are not as gullible as our arrogant politicians would like to believe.
