Former Molo MP Jacob Macharia

The 2022 Molo parliamentary seat contest is headed for a major showdown after former MP Jacob Macharia announced a ‘major’ comeback.

In the 2017 general elections, Mr Macharia vying as an independent candidate garnered 15,631 votes losing to incumbent Kuria Kimani of Jubilee who took home 39,095 votes.

Immediately after the loss, Mr Macharia took to social media to congratulate Mr Kimani urging locals to support him to serve and realize the Molo constituency’s dream.

President Uhuru Kenyatta appointed him a non – official director at the Ewaso Ng’iro South Development Authority, a position he has used to drill several water boreholes in the constituency.

Early today, he reminded his constituents that it was exactly 3 years since his term of service as Molo MP ended and ‘proceeded to a midterm break’.

“It’s also an opportune time to officially state that l will be contesting for the Molo parliamentary seat again in the 2022 general elections,” he stated on a Facebook post.

He at the same time asked locals to continue supporting the current MP, “Meanwhile, let’s continue making our motherland great at all times. WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER.”

Ms Beatrice Nyawira currently serving as the Director of Political Affairs at the County Government of Nakuru is said to be eyeing the seat.

Ms Myawira served as a nominated Councillor in the larger Njoro Constituency from 2007 to 2013 and later Molo Constituency from 2013 to 2017.

Also set to make a comeback is Maryann Njambi who garnered 1,810 votes in the 2017 elections under the Kenya African National Union- KANU ticket.

The County Government of Nakuru advises County residents to exercise caution while handling fire, especially now children are at home for the holiday.

County Chief Officer for Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance, Ms Ann Njenga said recent fire incidences point at human negligence.

She was speaking at Elburgon in Molo sub-County when she presented humanitarian assistance by Governor Lee Kinyanjui to Mr George Omosa who recently lost 3 children in a fire incident.

Among the items were 30 irons sheets and mattresses to help Mr Omosa rebuild his livelihood. She said the County would deliver more items in the coming days.

“Governor Lee’s administration has invested heavily in disaster preparedness and management. Recently, the County bought 2 more modern fire engines to boost capacity,” she stated.

A modern fire station under construction in Nakuru CBD is near completion and last week the County conducted interviews for 17 more firefighters.

Also, in November 2019, thirty youthful firefighters graduated from the Morendat Institute of Oil and Gas after a rigorous four-week training program on basic firefighting techniques, fully sponsored by the County.
