A story is told of how Jackson Harvester M' Nchebere Angaine the self styled king of the Ameru and first Lands Minister in Independent Kenya dozed off during a vote tallying exercise and caused serious panic to his party agents, supporters and aides. Initial results trickling in had Angaine's main opponent leading by a big margin.

Yet here Angaine sat half dozing on a front seat at Meru town's Kamunde Hall the constituency tallying centre.

It is said that anytime the panicky aides tried to wake up the old man, all he asked them was... ' Cia Ontulili igukinya?'.... That's Greek for, Are the votes from Ontulili in yet?... Ontulili was and is still an area the legendary Angaine had offered land and resettled all his diehard supporters.

So the aides would say...'itakinya' and he would doze off again undisturbed.

Needless to say when Ontulili votes arrived, the old man who by then was almost 20k votes behind his opponent would then overtake the opponent by over 50k votes despite the fact that the children, women, men and aliens of Ontulili being less than 10k in number.

He would then be declared the winner as he dozed off once again.

Moral of the Story

Cia Ontulili in this elections will come from the silent farmer, fisherman, mama mboga, chang'aa seller and drinker somewhere. The silent majority who know where the shoe pinches most despite them not being masters in hashtags, selfies and 4G & WiFi manenos.

The moral of that story is Angaine cheated in elections using Ontulili voters period.

I met The King of the Meru. He was a man who held the record on not going to the toilet for any reason for three days until after the results had come in and he had won.

He got a shock in 1979 when Mbogori beat him in what was a transparent Moi-Njonjo attempt to cut him to size. He soon made peace with Moi by indicating he was no longer interested in helping Kikuyus to overthrow Moi. Thus the way was created for him to return to parliament. He however reminded Moi that he did not know how to sit on the back benches. So Moi laughed and set aside his cabinet post but informed him he would have to delay a little bit. Moi wanted to use him to get rid of Mbijjiwe who was rumored to be a Kibaki man.
