The Busia gubernatorial seat will not be premised on theory and non-issues but on deliverable manifestos that resonate with the residents’ development aspirations.
Corporate responsibility, rather than personal interests and intentions, overrides to secure the future of the young generations.
Busia residents want leadership that equips their children to cope with cutthroat competition at the national level rather than on who negotiates for personal interests.
Vincent Sidai alias Engineer has presented himself as the safe pair of hands for the Busia people owing to his impressive and timely response to needs of the great people of the region.
Speaking at 3M Resort in Bar Ober over the weekend, coordinators drawn from across the county met to deliberate on how best they can salvage the dwindling Busia County leadership from 2027 and beyond.
“Busia County is facing a myriad of leadership challenges and something has to be done in 2027 to salvage the situation,” said Mr Gerald Malala, the coordinator of the day’s event.
Mzee Michael Okongo Ouma from Bunyala South reiterated that having looked across the county, there is no one who can match Engineer Sidai’s leadership credentials and that in 2027, he will be the ideal candidate.
“Having contested in 2013 and 2017, Engineer has never left his supporters to be political orphans as he has always been in touch with his people and this makes him a super leader,” said Carolyne Oloo from Samia.
She added, “I am personally going to champion for the interests of the Engineer in Samia and gladly welcome everyone to his bandwagon.”
Bob Ojanji, a former ally of Governor Otuoma who turned foe, avers that they supported Otuoma in 2022 after getting direction from Engineer Vincent Sidai but it saddens them that he dumped them immediately he won the gubernatorial contest.
“We are going to leave no stones unturned and rally everyone to support the Engineer. Engineer has the interests of his people at heart and always means well for his people. If Engineer becomes the next governor for Busia, many changes will be witnessed,” said Ojanji.
He noted he will rally the youthful block to support youthful gubernatorial aspirant Hon. Sidai and they won’t regret.
“We supported Governor Otuoma to a tune of millions but the guy never picks our calls. He has docketed county contracts to his cronies from Busijo, yet Busia has several contractors who supported him dearly,” an irate Bob Ojanji said.
Measures aimed at pushing Engineer Vincent Sidai to the electorates across the county were adopted and coordinators across the county endorsed.
“Our ultimate goal remains changing Busia leadership in 2027, preparing our arsenals right on the ground and selling the message of hope and goodwill as Engineer Sidai is the safe pair of hands for the great people of Busia,” he said.
“All devolved functions are in ICU in Busia, our youth don’t have jobs, the health sector is in a total mess, the town is very dirty and when people ask for better services just like improvement of health services, Otuoma sees us as traitors,” said Mosee, former MCA Burumba Ward and County coordinator of Sidai Action Team.
He said they want proper services for the people and not just stories from Otuoma.
