At the ‘Earthquake’ at Bomas, Hon. Musalia Mudavadi promised to ‘gather them and scatter them’. This part of his hard hitting speech delivered during the third ANC Party National Delegates Conference can now be foresight on his part. The son of Hannah may have anticipated that politicians being who they are, would jump on and offbaord his ship as it navigated the tsunami brought about by this ‘Earthquake’ momemnt.
Indeed, this past week the political space has been awash with news of Amani National Congress (ANC) party losing members of parliament to competitiors (mostly DAP-K). On Wednesday, 2nd February, Butere MP elected on an ANC Party ticket, Hon. Tindi Mwale, formalised his move to Omwami Eugene Wamalwa’s DAP-K.
Mwale’s ditching of ANC made him the last Member of Parliemnet from Kakamega County elected on an ANC to jump ship. As had been the case with every defection, the DAP-K brigade made a meal of it, dancing to isikuti in jubilant mood.
