⛔ POLITICAL TRAINWRECK!.
SPECTACLE OF BLAME, COUNTER BLAME: AT THE HEART OF A POLITICAL FALLOUT:
_____________________________________________
🚨The political theatre of Isiolo County has taken on a new act: a spectacle of blame, counter-blame, and bitter digital skirmishes. In the aftermath of a collapsed plan to impeach Governor Abdi Guyo, the very architects of the scheme now trade accusations with the fervor of wounded rivals. What began as a coordinated ouster has devolved into an unseemly display of recrimination.
At the heart of the fallout stands a fractured alliance between the camp of a former County Assembly Speaker and that of the sitting Senator. The Speaker’s allies accuse the Senator of betraying their pact, alleging that she promised to shepherd the impeachment motion through the Senate but failed to deliver. The Senator’s team fires back, insisting that the real failure lies in the Assembly itself, that the former Speaker bungled the process long before it could reach the upper house. Their bloggers now duel across social media, each post sharpening the divide and drawing the public into a spectacle of political vanity.
🔴Governor Guyo, meanwhile, continues to restore normalcy in both the Executive and the Assembly, seemingly unfazed by the turbulence. Under his watch, Isiolo has witnessed tangible progress: strides in food security, expanded access to clean water, improved health services, strengthened education, and new infrastructure that has begun to reshape the county’s economic landscape. Against this record, the Governor’s supporters view the impeachment attempt as an act of political ego rather than public interest.

🟥The Holy Qur’an warns of such moments of reckoning:
> “They will say, ‘By Allah, we were indeed in manifest error… And they will dispute with one another therein.’”
— Surah Ash-Shu‘ara 26:96–99

🔴These words echo eerily over Isiolo’s current drama. When a scheme collapses, its conspirators inevitably turn on one another, each desperate to escape the taint of failure.
🔴This weekend has only amplified the rancor. The Senator’s camp derides MRQ, the former Speaker, as a political novice, “green-eared” and unready to vie for the gubernatorial seat in 2027. MRQ’s allies respond with equal vigor, portraying the Senator as a leader who failed to “complete the cycle” of impeachment and who lacks the backing of her own Sakuye base to challenge Governor Guyo.
Yet, beyond the noisy exchanges, Isiolo’s electorate remains strikingly unmoved. Ordinary voters, having witnessed three years of concrete development, quietly align themselves behind a governor they view as people-oriented and results-driven. In their eyes, the Senator and the former Speaker resemble ambitious but self-serving actors, mistaking personal vendettas for public service.
🔴Politics in Isiolo thus offers a timeless lesson: power struggles rooted in ego and opportunism rarely withstand the test of public judgment. As the Qur’anic verse reminds us, those who conspire in error will eventually dispute among themselves, while the people, ever watchful and discerning, choose stability over spectacle. Governor Abdi Guyo’s anticipated second term, Allah willing, stands less as a triumph of personality than as an affirmation of governance anchored in tangible service.
