Oparanya should take a page from his counterpart Ali Hassan Joho and allow Governor Barasa to deliver on his mandate. Joho has gracefully allowed his successor to govern in his own style, while Oparanya is busy fighting Governor Barasa. Joho is meeting friends to help him become the party leader.Last Friday, Elsie Muhanda cunningly lured Oparanya into hosting a meeting with MCAs at her residence under the guise of a friendly lunch. Little did the unsuspecting MCAs know, they were walking into a carefully laid trap. The agenda? The removal of the majority leader, Oparanya's son-in-law, Amos Liyayi, whose nomination was dubiously acquired by Oparanya himself, pilfered from Mitalo. Dan Mukofu, Muhanda's PA, were supposed to ensure the presence of goons in the Assembly.
Today, loyal members of the ODM party and Kakamega residents woke up to distressing news. It became evident that Oparanya and Muhanda were spearheading a campaign to oust Hon. Phillip Maina, a move seen as a blatant power grab aimed at installing their puppet, Ondiro Geoffrey, in his place.
Oparanya's refusal to acknowledge his departure from the county's helm is glaring, as evidenced by his relentless attempts to sway the county assembly and county executive. Despite the expiration of his tenure, Oparanya still craves control over the Assembly and few fellows in the executive, displaying a blatant disregard for democratic principles.
Instead of fostering unity among ODM members and leaders,Oparanya's actions have sown seeds of division. Many question his motives, particularly his obsession with undermining Governor Barasa, rather than fostering constructive engagement within the party and the county.
In stark contrast, leaders like Ali Hassan Joho have gracefully relinquished power to their successors, allowing them the freedom to govern effectively. Oparanya's reluctance to follow suit hints at his insatiable thirst for influence, much to the dismay of those yearning for a smoother political transition.
Oparanya's meddling in county affairs not only undermines the democratic process but also hampers Kakamega's growth and development.He must be told that Muhanda's gubernatorial aspirations remain a distant dream.
Their latest plan to impeach the county Assembly speaker after the majority leader is merely another ploy to thwart Governor Barasa's development agenda. However, they are taken aback by Governor Barasa's active presence across the county, launching projects and engaging with residents tirelessly , Governor Barasa has a strong political support, and a strong political team.
