The battle for Busia County Women Representatives’ seat has turned ugly after warring factions exchanged bitter words on social media. The seat has attracted both newcomers and seasonal politicians.
According to locals who asked to
remain anonymous, so many would be candidates are facing so much intimidation; with
some contemplating dropping out of the race altogether.
Busia first lady, Judy Onamu is among the top
contenders for the title but is still facing so many other hurdles, most voters
are associating her with her husband's mediocre reign as Busia Governor, they
believe that voting for her would be rewarding her husband for his mediocrity
as governor while others insist that the seat must go to a local this time.
A recent post by one of her loyalist
on social media attracted so much reaction from Busia residents, the author had
openly attacked a Chief Officer at the County whom he accused of not respecting
the County First Lady, and the Officer is also eyeing the same seat.
He reminded the County Officer that
any disrespect to the First Lady would be like disrespecting the Governor who
employed her. The post irked so many people who reacted differently.
"Loyalty is very bad, it
reduces a grown up man from my clan to a woman, sooooo sad, "Sylvia Namada
Agunda, quipped.
"Omwami get out of there.Don't be
used to fight women. Let them square out their mess. You are a man remember
unless you challenge me,"Kamasasa Amos Ephraim advised The Weekly Vision author
who is also a member of the Facebook group.
The unfortunate post has left the
Busia First Lady with a lot of rotten eggs splashed all over her face with the
Chief Officer gaining ground on her candidature
Those who reacted believe that the
First Lady's team is now trying to intimidate opponents, which they find too
unfortunate, they have asked her to come and clear the air on that.
