A commentary by Dikembe Disembe shared on Facebook discusses the election of county governors, specifically mentioning Prof Anyang’ Nyong’o as a potential candidate for the Governor of Kisumu in 2017.
According to Disembe, Makueni County, under the leadership of Prof Kivutha Kibwana, serves as a model for successful devolution due to Kibwana’s strong will and commitment to the process. Disembe suggests that Kisumu needs a governor who can resist pressure from Members of the County Assembly (MCAs).
Disembe also reflects on the challenges faced by the first generation of leaders in Luo Nyanza Counties, noting a tendency towards overly academic approaches. The preference for 'non-politicians' with corporate backgrounds, as opposed to traditional politicians, is highlighted as a significant factor in voter decisions.
