Drama rocked Magoya after chaos broke out during a meeting involving Ugunja parliamentary aspirant Moses Omondi, the man widely branded as the CS’s choice.
Fresh from yesterday’s chaotic rallies, Omondi sneaked back into Magoya today, hoping to quietly meet a small delegation at the home of Koko Opata. But things quickly turned ugly after angry youths stormed the compound, surrounding the house in protest.
In a shocking twist, Omondi and his campaign team were forced to lock themselves inside Koko Opata’s house, unsure how to escape the growing mob. The angry crowd, chanting and jeering, only grew larger by the minute, painting a grim picture for the embattled aspirant.
Locals say the former constituency manager has been busy parading himself as the people’s favorite, yet the reality on the ground tells a very different story. Frustration over his leadership style is bubbling over, with many branding him a political imposter being imposed on them by powerful figures in government.
Political analysts argue that Omondi’s troubles are self-inflicted, pointing to his arrogance, use of sponsored goons, and an entitled approach that has turned the community against him. They add that today’s incident is a warning shot, proving that being “the CS’s choice” does not automatically translate to people’s choice.
Adding salt to injury, questions around Omondi’s education and professionalism refuse to go away. Residents openly wonder: is he a Doctor? An Engineer? A Professor? Or just a Motorist? All people ever hear is “Randere,” yet no one even knows what profession “Randere” really is. Could it mean fundi randa? If so, what kind of elementary education can such a man offer the people of Ugunja when he is clearly fumbling in his campaigns, his communication unit openly showing panic?
Critics argue that Omondi is hiding behind state power while forcing himself onto the people of Ugunja. But the videos and today’s incident show a constituency that has clearly rejected him. If he was truly popular, they ask, why is he hiding from the very people he claims to represent?
This ugly showdown has earned him a new label: “CS’s choice turned community’s enemy.” For many in Ugunja, Moses Omondi has crossed the line and the people are no longer willing to be silenced or deceived.
