UHURU KENYATTA'S & RUTO'S RAGE-KENYANS TAKE NOTICE

Uhuru has not learnt anything yet.... that is not the way to talk for someone in his position and the more he keeps fighting i think it makes everything worse any word which comes from his mouth makes him sound guilty and convincing that he desperately wants to avoid hague

Is this the video showing jomo jnrs continued PUBLIC meltdown?

He was going where folks normally NEVER go - invoking " Your Mama is so..blah blah blah." type of abuse.

Let me tell jomo jnr.

The Hague pia siyo wa nina yako, or whatever term he used.

Its obvious he was trying to "make fun" in a derogatory manner of the the Hon Prime Ministers mum.

Well for the first time Bwana Jomo jnr, you are going to dance to a tune of an independent body, one which is independent of your fathers, mothers and tribesmen control.

I have noticed that jomo jnr has confined his rage and rants in Central where he can talk in his mother tongue.

Meanwhile the Hon Prime Minister is playing offense in NEP, Meru, Coast.

This is what makes Raila appear like a total idiot. First he knows that his issues with the RV politicians and people is the ICC fallout especially when the claim is that these were fighting for his claim to presidency and they feel he abandoned them.

How does he then keep repeating to Kenyans that his quarell with Kibaki (and Ruto by extension) is his zeal to have the Ocampo six tried by the ICC rather than a local solution? Just because his speech is made in Tononoka or Garsen does not mean it is not repeated by the media nationally.

Is Raila man enough to actually go and repeat this nonesense to Kenyans in Eldoret? I doubt it!

The failure to undertand gikuyu does lead people astray in attempting at translate gikuyu.

Take for instance this overblown issue on the use of the word "kĩhĩĩ" by Uhuru. It has been loosely translated to mean uncircumcised and in Kenyan political parlance this tends to refer to the Luo.

But if you take the context the word "kĩhĩĩ"was used by Uhuru, it was in reference of "kĩhĩĩ" being another representation of a small boy. So essentially what Uhuru was saying was that Kibaki is not a small boy who cannot think for himself as is being suggested by those that claim Kibaki has been misled.

As one can clearly see the context in which the word is used varies. In gikuyu, it is quite right for an old man to refer to his grown up son as "kĩhĩĩ gĩakwa".

Communication can have many layers. There can be the one at face value which is what Kamale is claiming Uhuru meant. A rather innocuous statement referring to Kibaki being beyond a pre-pubescent level as proof that he can therefore make his own independent decisions. However, there's also the level of the double entendre. An innocent sounding word or phrase that can have a second risque or insulting meaning behind it. Considering his phrase as such, it takes on a more sinister meaning as an insult directed not at Kibaki but at his nemesis who questions his decisions yet conveniently remains unnamed. The laughter from the crowd seems to indicate that was the intention. A coded phrase to push tribal buttons....it usually works like a charm as it gives UK plausible deniability as to his intention in uttering such words.

In fact in the part of Kenya where I hail from, although it is common to refer to your uncircumsised son with the term equivalent to tribal slur, it would be taboo to refer to a senior elder such as the octogenarian Kibaki is, with such a term. It makes Uhuru's comment extremely curious & points to Kenyatta's intention to make a tribal jibe at his enemy in a public forum. If he really didn't mean it as an insult, why did he select that portion of his speech to go shortwave & speak in gikuyu where such a statement would hold the most weight?

Lest you thought only the gloves would come off.....

"We are in your full support, and if it means undressing, we will do it for your sake," Mrs Murugi told Uhuru.
