"The worst mistake this young man could make is resigning from a stable KRA job - ROBERT ALAI advises slain MP, ONG’ONDO WERE’s son as he eyes his late father’s seat

Friday, July 11, 2025 - Kileleshwa MCA, Robert Alai, has sounded a warning to the son of the late Member of Parliament, Ong’ondo Were, cautioning him against resigning from his job at the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to pursue a political career.

In a strongly-worded statement posted online, Alai, known for his candid political commentary, criticized the young man’s move to contest his late father's parliamentary seat barely a year to the General Elections.

“Worst mistake this boy will make is to resign from his KRA job his father got for him recently to get into the murky world of politics when it’s just one year to the elections. I don’t know who is advising this boy,” Alai wrote.

The late MP’s son has reportedly begun early campaigns, traversing the constituency in a bid to consolidate support and connect with potential voters.

The parliamentary seat became vacant following the tragic assassination of Ong’ondo Were.
