After quack doctor got endorsed for MCA seat, Ben Gethi and Jospehine Kaburu are next

A day after being released from police custody on bond, the quack doctor who made headlines following his exploits was given a heroic welcome back home.
Ronald Kiprotich Melly shocked the whole nation after it emerged he had fooled the authorities through a series of forgery and bribery and had earned a job as a doctor and even at the time of arrest had been promoted to the rank of medical superintendent.
It would later emerge that Ronald Melly had never even studied medicine at the University of Nairobi but somehow got through the system and rose through ranks.
 
He had performed a number of minor surgeries and handled a number of Caesarian deliveries.
It is for this reason that his home people felt he should be recognized and even supported to become a doctor since he had done a ‘good job’ without training.
The residents now have identified a new role for him in society and now want their hero to vie for the Tinderet MCA seat.
Ronald Melly would not be setting a trend nor would his bid be out of the norm.
Just as soon as she was controversially cleared by the EACC, Anne Waiguru announced her interest in the Kirinyaga County Governor seat.
Former police Inspector General David Kimaiyo despite being hounded out of two public offices has long since expressed his intention to vie for the Elgeyo-Marakwet County seat, another quack doctor Mugo Wairimu is also eyeing a political seat in Kiambu.
Going by such example, it will not be a surprise to see Josephine Kabiru and Ben Gethi announcing their political intentions.
 
All that stands in their way is the EACC which has proved to be gullible in the past and with a few court documents and a little noise they will get their clearance.
From there the script leads to a number of harambees in the desired electorate, then do a couple of rounds and donations in churches as they get cleansed.
A trip to village elders would helped and by then they will have enough traction to have leading media houses seeking to host them and reveal ‘the real Ben Gethi’ as well as  ‘the real Josephine Kabura’.
After that, it will be politics as usual and they just need to get an electorate in their backyard and run against an aspirant lacking their endless deep pockets.
For Kabura the perfect seat would be as Kirinyaga’s women representative.
Her deep pockets will make her the first Mrs. Moneybags and place her with close proximity with Anne Waiguru.
Then she can watch as her former friend turned betrayer fail to clinch the seat as she storms her way to parliament to fight the rights of women, especially those downtrodden because they are in profession like ’hair dressing’.
Ben Gethi can afford to start as an MCA and any ward in Nairobi with a slum and a high population of young Kikuyu men would suffice.
All he has to do is convince them he is just one of them who got a lucky shot to tap at the coffers of the rich.
He will promise to bring the piece home which he will share via handouts and getting himself an army ready to rot and harass on his behalf.
Then the two will fill the public with their rags to riches like stories and will become our heroes.
As PLO Lumumba aptly captured, the only claim to fame for Kenyan politicians is a failed institution or a piece of grabbed land somewhere. Such is our fate
