Silas Chepkeres Jakakimba, the best bet for Suba North
You are aware that the people of Suba North have decidedly agreed to “Loko Diet.”
Everywhere you go across the Suba North sub-counties, from the mainland Kasgunga, Gembe and Lambwe to the twin islands of Rusinga and Mfangano; you will hear the refrain “Diet Nyaka Loki” reverberating yearningly, a testament of the people’s collective aspiration to have a taste of new leadership that in the post 2027 general elections—not to disrespect many other equally qualified sons and daughters of the constituency—only Jakakimba can offer.
“Diet Nyaka Loki” is not a mere campaign slogan. From whichever perspective you scrutinize it, no other would be more appropriate, more accurate, and more befitting.
To the average voter, culinary arts enthusiast, philosophical sophisticate, fisherman, farmer, businessperson, old, young, schooled, unschooled, name it—Jakakimba’s candidature does not just present a new approach to leadership; it also—more importantly—demonstrates that Suba North has no shortage of change agents and forward-looking personalities.
No matter how sweet something is, if you have it repeatedly for 12—or do we say 17—years, it loses its flavour. Suba North constituents have said that the current leadership has lost its taste and stagnated the constituency's development. They want something different. Something fresh. Something progressive—a SHIFT, a NEW NORMAL.
And Jakakimba has stepped up to offer exactly what Suba North has asked for—a new, bold and innovative leadership that transcends the usual averageness.
That is why you should make a deliberate decision, today and now, to be on the side of history when a new Suba North is birthed.
You will not regret joining the "Diet Nyaka Loki" side for the simple fact that "Diet Idhi Loki."
