Here are people who are MOST likely to declare their interest 1. Philip Okundi 2. Silas Jakakimba 3. Hilary Alila 3. Fred Kabong 4. Caroli Omondi 5. Rose Kajwang 6. Denis Konyang’o 7. Sammy Wakiaga 8. Seth Odongo aka Dikembe Disembe Trust issue will most likely haunt and injure Mr Caroli Omondi the former chief of staff at the office of prime minister, Miguna Miguna wrote adverse paragraphs touching on the character of Caroli. Some of Miguna’s revelations have recently been collaborated by Eliud Owalo the 2012/13 Raila presidential campaign manager. Hon Okundi an engineer by profession is well known for his long tenure as MD of KBC and Kenya Bureau of Standard, he later become Rangwe MP. He is apersonal friend to Raila. He performed disastrously in the 2013 election.Okundi is an old guard and since the ground is shifting for much younger leadership will be disadvantage for him. Hilary Alila is an ODM diehard with strong links in the party leadership, and then there is Tom Alila a KANU diehard who in the Ndiwa by-election caused a stir and showed a strong performance but was badly trounced by Hon Augustino Netto. Rose Kajwang’s handling of co-wife Faith Otieno will most likely hurt her quest to succeed her husband, besides she has no knowledge of the local area, not fluent in dholuo and many regard her as a foreigner. She has neither ground network nor people connection. Fred Kabong is unknown to many while Jakakimba a long time Raila ally will pass the loyalty test with flying colours just like hon Okundi. Jakakimba is also said to hail from Mbita and had a close working relationship with the late Kajwang’. Having worked for Raila as personal assistant and private secretary since 2007 he is considered one of the most trusted allies of the former prime minister. Nairobi based advocate Dennis Konyang’o will ignite the county if he declares interest in the seat, he was Jakakimba’s year mate at University of Nairobi’s Parklands law school, Konyang’o represented blogger Dikembe Disembe in the famous hate speech case that was allegedly instigated by statehouse officials via Jubilee blogger Mugo wa Wairimu. Konyang’o was also a leading luminary of the Attorneys for Raila lobby group that campaigned for Odinga in 2013 presidential election. Sammy Wakiaga a former Finance and Administration director of the NIS is also considered a force and may most likely play king maker, Wakiaga is a key Raila ally. Seth Odongo aka Dikembe Disembe may pull a surprise, at 23 years of age the Moi University political science and Communication graduate is Raila/CORD/OKOA Kenya’s lead blogger, only last week Nation Media’s Macharia Gaitho while doing a presentation at University of Nairobi termed Dikembe as the NEXT BIG THING in Kenya’s media industry. The young man is talented and can pull masses just like Kajwang did. The hate speech case he is facing at the courts is a testimony that he is a pain in the ass for Jubilee online team. Others contenders will emerge in fullne
