Kombo,
I can bet you he will, as long as he believes that there are so many “Avana va efwe” to back him. Or worse still, you know the guy grew up in a tribeless area called “Makadush” Makadara DC, where as old as Atwoli is he and other agemates still call themselves Vijana wa Mtaa. And sure that madness does not only stop with the likes of Mwakwere, but in many instatces it stretches and finds its ways in the heads of many Vijana wa mtaa.
I would want to believe that these Vijana wa mtaa know better, but as you have seen with Atwoli, it is a clear indication that the “political madness common with many of our politicians is found at every angle and corner. Mtaa, though, has produced a variety of public servants, who are mature, rational and dignifyied in their own rights. Makadush/Jeri/Ofafa, has produced the likes of the Late PC Waiganjo, the likes of Kwendo Opanga, Barack Muluka, PLO, former MP Reuben Ndolo and the Great RTD PM Raila Odinga all have their roots in those three Mtaas.
Had Wainganjo resigned as a Pc and seeked an elected office as an MP, I can assure you he could have become an MP, because those Vijana wa Mtaa who supported him were numerous. I also believe that, this is what propelled Ndolo to Parliament, and what also nearly put PLO through to Parliament.
I dare say this, that if Atwoli ever makes up his mind to vie for the seat over there in Mtaa, better known as Makadush Constituency, I wont be surprised, if thousands of diehard supporters comes out, ready to vote him to Parliament. And not only that, they will be ready to lay their life before Atwoli. All Atwoli will need to do is to convince them that “Yeye ni kijana ya Mtaa ya Makadush Damu.”
Now whether Atwoli has a Vision for their Future will not be material. All that will mater is that Atwioli ni Wetu,…… Si huyo Msee ame lewa hapa mtaani? Basi yeye ndiyo tunampigia kura. This is what makes me say that the Voter is the culprit, for we allow ourselves to act without further engaging our brains as to what is good for us in future. That Civic education, I talked about earlier, therfore will be our savior. Bidii Africa can therefore be of great service to Kenyans if it can have postings for civic education to enlighten Wanainchi.

In your opinion and many others who are frustrated by these “Payukaring Paliamenterians” you might say that Mwakwere is good for nothing, but have you noticed that whenever such madness of installation s take place, there will be so many “Raia” who occasion these functions. In short this madness id supported by none other than the Voter. That Voter is foolishly ready and more than willing to keep this cycle of madness turning on and on.
It therefore requires a massive civic education of these ignorant citizens, to look further, into what they want, for their lives and the future of their children, so that they can make the right choice when it comes to election time. Right now many Kenyans have come to realize that the Leader of the Nation has taken too many things for Granted and as such has forgotten what the people elected him to do. But I can tell you this, that, if the man was to be eligible, constitutionally, to stand again, you will be surprised how many millions will vote for him.
The Citizens therefore, are the problem, for many of them fail to come out of this tribal cocoon, which will as a result liberate them from the likes of Mwakwere.
