Is Norah Bosibori ready to fit into Simba Arati’s shoes as next MP Dagoretti North?

The whistle has blown  the time fast approaching.

With Dagoretti North seat becoming vacant after its holder Hon Simba Arati switched base to Kisii county , many people have stepped forth to come and fill the void left by Simba Arati.

Hon Paul Simba Arati had such a firm grip on the constituency and had he not opted out, it was still a hard task challenging him.

Before Simba Arati became an Mp, Dagoretti was represented by Hon Beth Mugo. Beth had curved a niche for herself especially on how she developed the area.
This has now made swveral women aspirants to step forth and offer themselves for election.

One such woman is the youthful Norah Bosibori.

www.goodmorningkenya.com sat down with Bosibori at her Nairobi office and sort to know about her.

G.M.K. who is Bosibori briefly.

Bosibori:  “Norah Bosibori is a young Kenyan who stays in Dagoretti north. Iam a businesswoman, mother but above all a born again christian who is now aspiring to be the next MP Dagoretti North“.

Academically and prifessionally ,Am an Information security Specialist, I run a software devepment firm and previously have worked in academia esp Technical University of Kenya, KCA university etc. I am undertaking a PhD at the University of Witwatwasrand in SA, plus I have an MSc in Information Technology Security and Audit and a bachelors Degree in Business Information Technology [BBIT]

G.M.K Why politics?

Bosibori: My passion for politics dates back from the days I was at Magina primary school. I have always felt an urge to serve my people and it is the only thing that brings joy to my heart.

G:M.K: Why did you settle on Dagoretti North.?

.Bosibori: Well I have stayed here long enough to understand the unique challenges our people face. Right from security, water ,educational needs and above all the hard economic times that have sent our young people into crime. I believe I have what it takes to change Dagoretti North

Bosibori is an avid reader and Napoleon Hill is one of her best authors.

“Man is the master of his fate because he is the master of his attitude. No more effort is required to aim high in life, to demand abundance and prosperity, than is required to accept misery and poverty. Napoleon HillIs

GMK: Voter registration has just ended yet many people kept off. It also seems that many will not vote. What can you tell them?

Bosibori: “Not voting is not a protest. It is a surrender.” Let’s change the trajectory of this country by coming out in large numbers and vote the best. Vote Norah Bosibori.

G.M.K. Corruption is so rampant in Kenya what in your view is the remedy?

Bosibori: You can’t liberate Kenya from corruption by using corruption. You must think higher and do better.While in parliament I will bring motions, come up with policies that will help  this great Country Kenya to move forward corrupt free.

On governance Bosibori never minces her words.

Bosibori: Looking at the economic situation of this country, our work as leaders getting into office after the elections is clearly cut out.

The current prices of basic commodities are not sustainable. We not only  need some stimulus package, we must find a way of bringing taxes down.

Matters are made more complicated by the external debts.

That is why we need to think through the choices we are making now, because those choices will determine whether things will improve for the majority, or get worse.

G.M.K. You have of late been traversing Dagoretti north undertaking different programmes. How is the response?

Bosibori: Since last year, my team and I have successfully held Norah Bosibori soccer tournament where youth have showcased their talents. This show piece was a huge success where talent search was undertaken and a conversation with the youths started where matters crime and drugs took center stage. We intend to keep up this noble initiative.

We have also engaged youth groups and women groups by helping empower them. The results are actually very encouraging.

GMK. It seems like you could be the youngest of all the aspirants in Dagoretti North, does this hinder your ground movement.?

Bosibori: Well I maybe the youngest but I have the best ideas to move Dagoretti North forward. Iam not afraid of my opponents, I have the backing of both the youths and the old generation. I have interacted with them in churches and their homes and the reception is superb.

To be a leader  in the right sense is to be a follower. Leadership begins when you, the leader , take the place of a follower, put yourself in his place so that you may understand his tribulations and the challenges he is going through in life .

GMK. It is August 10th and you are the next MP, what should we expect from you.

Bosibori: Well thank you for that prophetic view(laughs). Dagorettians should expect a pragmatic leadership style where Bosibori will preside over development issues without fear or favor. Road network, education , water,  security and economic empowernment will be my priority.

Dagoretti north is cosmopolitant and therefore all the 41 plus tribes will feel my leadership. We the young people dont subscribe to tribalism so all will be well.

GMK: We have seen posters and placards reading Bosi wa Dago, are we electing a boss or a servant?

Bosibori: By voting me as the next MP, DN will have voted for a servant. Bosi Wa Dago is just my nick name which is derived from my name Bosi bori hence BosiWaDago.

GMK: Thank you for your time and goodluck.

Bosibori: Thank you so much and please give me your vote as the next Mp.

Other than Bosibori, other women in the race include former speaker Hon Elachi, Hon Mary Alivitsa and Lulu.

Will young Bosibori emerge? Time will tell.
