Is it Tutam or Wantam? Hailing from Uasin Gishu County, Javan Kassam, raised in a polygamous family, and Songa Songa from Oyugis, brought their fiery “One Term” and “Two Term” movements to Obinna Show Live. Their spirited debate, hosted by Oga Obinna, captivated audiences with contrasting views on Kenya’s political landscape.
Songa Songa’s One Term Movement
Songa Songa passionately advocates for a single-term presidency, citing recent events like Albert Ojwang’s death as a catalyst. He argues, “Most people support President Ruto because of Raila Amollo Odinga. Ruto na Raila ni vitu ngapi? Birds of the same feather flock together.” He labels the affordable housing project a scam, criticizing the housing levy as an unfair burden on Kenyans. Songa Songa also points to government failures, including insecurity in the North Rift, lack of job creation, and unfulfilled empowerment promises, humorously noting, “Ruto ni muongo. Hakuna mtu anaweza kupea nduthi bila number plate au logbook.”
Javan Kassam’s Two Term Defense
Javan Kassam, a self-proclaimed “reformed one-termer,” champions a two-term presidency. He claims Kenya lacks a true opposition, praising initiatives like providing coolants to 600 fishmongers for fish preservation. Kassam highlights President Ruto’s achievements, including launching an institution in Uasin Gishu, creating jobs through the Kenya Institute of Research and Development, value addition in farm inputs like fertilizers, and modernizing markets in Ndhiwa and Homabay. He defends the SHA and NHIF, arguing that 23 million Kenyans cannot register for a dysfunctional system. Kassam also shares his meeting with Governor Bii, where they signed an MoU to promote student internships.
