The majority of the electorate in Loitokitok is becoming increasingly politically sensitive. A critical analysis by loitokitok.com can reveal that a once docile mass of people are now refusing to be mere pawns in politician’s game-plans of misguided politicians. A big majority of those who reside in Group Ranches are already immersed in abject poverty and can no longer persevere. The youth is now educated and hence not gullible to be hoodwinked by politicians.
Most are regretting the type of leadership they have been putting in place. They are concerned that leaders are merely intoxicated with power and material resources. The Member of Parliament who is also the Jubilee’s Parliamentary Chief Whip has been in power since the demise of the more acceptable and charismatic Geoffrey Parpai in 2003. Most residents now seem bored and are looking forward to his replacement in the eagerly awaited 2017 General Election.
Most have realized that the CDF projects he has been boasting of are funded by their own taxes and that they are replicated everywhere in the country. Furthermore his Ilmolelianclan and Ilmoinko sub-clan who are dominant in the constituency have become largely disillusioned after being neglected at the expense of other clans who are being lured with goodies to be used as mere future voting machines.
The MCA’S is the most pathetic lot. The quality of those elected is not only below average but also wanting in substance.
If one wants to verify the aforementioned sentiments, ask why there is so much scarcity of water in Loitokitok which is right there, on the slopes of the snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro!
