  Godana survived crash 10 years ago
Godana is famed in his home region as a brilliant man whose sterling academic career is a model to many students who aspire to excel from the area that has been neglected by successive governments.
Godana, who is almost a legend in the region, made his career by rising through bright academic performance in a dry scrubland village known as Dukama, the village that borders the Chalbi desert, where he was born in 1952.
Godana was tested to the limit for the first time during the 2002 General Election by Fila of Narc, but he rode the wave and retained his seat, returning to Parliament as Deputy Leader of the Official Opposition and Kanu national vice-chairman.

The Godana I knew was an intellectual of no mean repute yet he was never mesmerised by his achievements or academic credentials.
Take the case of his relationship with Moi and Kanu; Bonaya Godana is probably one of the very few former Moi ministers that stuck with him through thick and thin in the tamultus days of the 2002 elections without as much as a flinch.
When Godana finally died, the irony of fate finally made sure he died with Mirugi Kariuki, one of the people he opposed in parliament and at rallies during the 2005 referendum, yet remained his personal friend and even a sparring partner in endless television debates.

The practice is that individual aspirants first go for intense campaigns and after judging their effectiveness and weaknesses, the posts are subjected to negotiations to include all communities and interests," said Dalmas Otieno, an NEC member who is in the Biwott camp.
However, Bonaya Godana, the deputy leader of official opposition in parliament, who is for Uhuru, says that while there is nothing wrong with striking a consensus since every party does that, the problem is actualising the consensus for specific personalities.
The third leading contender, Mutula Kilonzo, believes that the calls for consensus are a manifestation of a serious problem with all political organisations in Kenya, where losers are not willing to accept defeat because they feel threatened when their cronies and communities are not at the helm.
