Worry for NASA as Jubilee set to beat them hands down in crucial swing county

With the next election just a few days away, Jubilee has every reason to be confident of triumph in Narok County.

Already, the party has drawn a sharp contrast in its vision for the region compared to NASA. Three issues will be at play. Land remains a major factor to both the Government and the Opposition.to both the Government and the Opposition.

The Mau Forest resettlement and conservation also remain hot issues, not forgetting the clan factor. President Kenyatta and his deputy have two compelling arguments in their quest for a second term. First, Jubilee's development record speaks for itself.

Construction of the standard gauge railway has created employment for hundreds of youths. The Sh500 million Last Mile Connectivity programme has expanded electricity connection. Jubilee has also modernised health facilities in the county.modernised health facilities in the county.programme has expanded electricity connection.

Jubilee has united local communities even though this fact does not get the recognition it deserves. Currently, businessmen can attest that Governor Tunai has promoted stability and coexistence. Immigrant communities now feel safe to conduct their businesses. On the other hand, the Opposition is capitalising on the issue of land, stoking fears among the Maasai that other communities are after their land.capitalising on the issue of land, stoking fears among the Maasai that other communities are after their land.

They are also saying they will implement the report of the Truth Justice and Reconciliation Commission. They have accused Jubilee of delaying its implementation for alleged selfish ends. Given their performance record when they were in government, it is amazing the opposition leaders now claim to have the answers to the issues affecting the people of Narok.

Raila and his team should not be allowed to mislead communities in Narok on issues of land and historical injustices. When he was in government, no single title deed was issued to the local people and no road was constructed. There is no guarantee things will be better if Raila ascends to power. But under Jubilee, Narok will, for the first time, have a railway line passing through it.

The road leading to the Maasai Mara Reserve is also being tarmacked at a cost of Sh2 billion. Narok town now has reliable water supply, thanks to the Sh1.3 billion government project through funding from the Japanese government.through funding from the Japanese government.

Raila will find it hard to get the 118,000 votes he garnered in 2013.
