OPPOSITION WILL TRIUMPH BY STEVE MACHARIA

Allow me to loot some sentiments from history:     Whoever lived in the early nineties read to it on the rise of second democracy which conceived multiparty .This was triggered by the mounted efforts by the opposition martyrs. The tale of the high profile opposition veterans in the 90s isn’t foreign and we are well accounted  with its unwrithing. This is the vessel that was boarded by Ken Matiba, Charles Rubia and the then  new crop of young Turks; James Orengo, Gitobu Imanyara…             I subscribe to the opposition doctrine as we reap frolic fruits from its protagonists, having been            disdained and displaced to seek refuge after the 25th SGC campaign trail and victory. A remedy to my       panacea has come knocking as the opposition has     instigated efforts to push for what the lip-service      officials hurled as lies in their votes seduction             escapades. To me, these are my unscandalized directors, and they do not own shops. The opposition right men hail from martyrdom domicile, theirs is to rephrase and reconstruct mutilated promises sent to shallow graveyards immediately we cast our votes to elect what we thought was a new generation of reformers.               To scoop and digest better my bulky optimism       embedded in hopes and promises of recent happenings, I will pin and hammer on great strides and the  public goodwill the opposition has so far attained in their   efforts to clean and renew students confidence in Muso politics, once and for all.               The opposition conceived the idea of quenching     students thirst for good leadership practices through total overhaul of our present constitution. This was especially in regard to governance and management of students finances. To prove how determined they were, they approached the dean for his take on recent      pressing  issues in campus.. In the marathon four hour meeting with the dean, they  realized that part of the major defect in management of students affairs was due to inept leadership by successive SGCs, especially in the last four years. Contrary  to usual accusations failed MUSO officials put on the deans office, the opposition asked the single question which most arise whenev   t these people advance this line of argument is: why have they not told comrades exactly what the Dean has    refused to do? On the constitution note: the dean approved the        formation of an INTERIM CONSTITUTION REVIEW COMMITTEE which in turn incorporated MUSO leadership thinking they would be genuine for such a noble idea. It did not take two days before the Sec Gen       decided to turn the process into a publicity stunt by sidelining the very people who came up with the idea, now revelations emerge of defections of members of the ‘new team’ he lured into the review process through the back door. . . The opposition is yet to laugh last!               Things started being shuttered on dark zones when Okeri Orina involved his ego in the whole process. He infracted procedures, abrogated agreements with the  committee which was in place, and assisted by his 3rd eye friends, went ahead pasting memos every where forming his own committee. The existing       committee in turn released another memo disowning Mr Okeri’s memo and urged him to be extremely honest with his actions. Okeri’s actions irked even some of the SGC members who now vows not to honor his new committee. It remains to be seen whether this noble idea from the opposition will see the light of day.               If you think this is the first time MUSO is messing up good intentions of the opposition,  then you will be more shocked to hear the fate which befell the two Da Shuttle  buses. It is said a senior member of MUSO blocked the whole process claiming he was not         consulted by the concerned  students he always insults as  “political losers, dwarfs and cowards”. To him, only the SGC can do any thing tangible to comrades. Yes, and they did tendering, remember? MU-84 SACCO is extremely happy with him, the touts at stage call him “mtumishi” the hard working one. One of the new    buses registration number KBL 737 Q was set for launching two weeks ago but hardworking “mtumishi” still has to be invited. How cosy! The opposition, all these hurdles notwithstanding, is determined to forge ahead. Hail the revolution. The writer is the former 3rd  Eye managing Editor.
