MUSO ELECTIONS AROUND THE CORNER

I had the brief chance of having Mr. Jared Mogire from the School of Arts come and introduce himself to me. He looks well-kept and his voice has the hint of authority. He starts the conversation on how many of my classmates have told him that I am hard to convince and I get the feeling that he wants a challenge and see the results, I dare not disappoint. He then goes on to introduce himself as one from the school of arts studying political science. His main aim of visiting was to familiarize himself ahead of the July MUSO elections which I have to admit got me off-guard. He goes on to explain that he has been planning for the docket since first year and has been part of a group of student leaders who go on tours outside country with South Africa and Rwanda as examples. He already has a budget for the whole affair and I have to admit I am quite impressed of his organized manner.

With his well explained details of his leadership plans and skills I am very interested on knowing his plans for the comrades. The point of organized and co-ordination hits me again. He begins by claiming that he wants to leave that seat having done something Moi will remember. Anxiety grips me. “I want to create a MUSO office” was Jared’s words.

 At first I am confused till he starts explaining the whole deal. This is what I understood. During the election period we become so close to the candidates wooing them on and having chats with them time to time openly. Immediately after winning the elections they become untouchables. They are rarely found just hanging out with the “lowly comrades” which is the source of all problems as they do not get to know what is happening underground. This thus brings the need of the office to ensure that each comrade can forward their grievances to the MUSO and have them dealt with appropriately. To me this was very pleasing information though the steps to be taken to achieve it may seem dim the results would prove gratifying.

He also touched on the security issue that has led to the death of Charity a fellow comrade last Sunday (May her soul rest in peace). The presence of street lights and watchmen for each plot employed by the landlords were his key points. To my satisfaction he also did not blame Guyo the current Director of Security and Accommodation for the insecurity though he claims he has a minor position in all this.

 Truth spoken I like his ideas and I have a watch on him to be absolutely sure that I am going to vote for him as the 2015 MUSO chairman because so far I see a vision in a determined man paired with confidence and organization sure to clinch the MUSO seat.
