Wiper now picks Mutula Junior for Makueni poll

FRIDAY, JULY 19, 2013 - 00:00 -- BY FUNMI OJUROYE

 The Coalition for Reform and Democracy has unveiled Mutula Kilonzo Juniour as the candidate that will fly the party’s flag in the Makueni Senatorial by-election set for July 26.
David Musila the party chairman for Wiper party said that in selecting, Mutula Junior to vie for the seat, the party wants to ensure it retains the Makueni senate seat.
Speaking at the press conference to unveil Mutula Junior at the Serena Hotel, Nairobi, former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka said that despite the attempts to bar Kethi from representing the party, Wiper was “not short of Mutulas.”
Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga who was also at the briefing said that he was disappointed by the High Court ruling made earlier today, but that Mutula Junior is a capable replacement for Kethi and by extension of the late Mutula Kilonzo.
Mutula Junior while accepting the nomination, said that he is not going into politics, but that he is going to provide leadership. Mutula Junior who has been nominated by the Wiper party is a replacement for the former candidate and his sister Kethi Kilonzo, whose candidature was revoked by the Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission on Friday last week.
The electoral commission reversed the clearance of Kethi after  its Dispute Resolutions Commission established that she was not duly registered and therefore not eligible to participate in the mini poll.
Kethi and the Wiper party appealed the decision with the High Court but the a three-judge bench constituted by Chief Justice Dr Willy Mutunga upheld the disputes commission’s ruling.
The Court however cleared the Wiper party to nominate another candidate in place of Kethi after having established that the party was not privy to her registration status with the IEBC.
Mutula Junior will now contest the Makueni Senatorial seat against former Kilome legislator Harun Mwau, NARC’s Philip Kaloki, Jane Wavinya Muoka of Labour Party of Kenya and Urbanus Muthoka, an independent candidate.

Why do you want to kill yourself?

Imagine this. You come home from school one day. You’ve had yet another horrible day. You’re just ready to give up. So you go to your room, close the door, and take out that suicide note you’ve written and rewritten over and over and over You take out those razor blades, and cut for the very last time. You grab that bottle of pills and take them all. Laying down, holding the letter to your chest, you close your eyes for the very last time. A few hours later, your little brother knocks on your door to come tell  you  dinners ready. You don’t answer, so he walks in. All he sees is you laying on your bed, so he thinks you’re asleep. He tells your mom this. Your mom goes to your room to wake you up. She notices something is odd. She grabs the paper in your hand and reads it. Sobbing, she tries to wake you up. She’s screaming your name. Your brother, so confused, runs to go tell Dad that “Mommy is crying and sissy won’t wake up....

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo There are strong indications that efforts by the Peoples Democratic Party to make former President Olusegun Obasanjo to have a rethink  on his decision to stay away from the party’s activities  have failed.  Investigations on Thursday showed that Obasanjo insisted when the new PDP National Chairman, Adamu Mu’azu visited him on January 26, that Jonathan  must  honour his alleged promise in 2011 not to contest the 2015 presidential election. A very reliable  PDP national officer  confided in  The PUNCH that  Obasanjo also  gave  other conditions that the new leadership of the party must meet before he would have a change of mind.  They include the restructuring of the party as well as   the correction of the  anomalies relating to the removal of Olagunsoye Oyinlola as the national secretary of the PDP  and Bode Mustapha  as  national auditor in early...

Many Nigerians have since reacted in different ways to the private session which they had in the Wii hours of the night in the Big Brother Double Wahala house.
