well well some people hire expert marketing companies to run their promos/campaigns bw. advisor hires guys with AK47 to help him market a book if anything, this just shows the need to hire professional marketing teams well ahead. they at least will not go out abusing their potential customers. man, am wondering what this "advisor" role is really about. where are other advisors? can somebody verify were both OO's there, i.e of jukwaa and TNA TNK, actually I believe the show of force was necessary given the crowd was irked, justifiably so, by Miguna insulting their intelligence. Just looking at how bwana DC is sweating bullets & no doubt crapping bricks in his pants. Such a thing cannot be easy & as eyewitness Malkia of Jukwaa pointed out anyone in their right mind would've feared for their safety given the mood of the mob. Everyone, that is, except Miguna. The guy is unhinged & has always been so. He had to be forced away by the security folks as he seemed intent to continue on what would've only ended up being a suicide mission (& costing the lives of those who were unfortunate enough to be sent their to protect his behind). For him to say he "made Raila" is comedy of the highest order. The interesting thing is, why isn't Raila suing his former aide if everything he said is a lie? There must be some kernels of truth in the diary of a madman after all.... b6k we need to see through and beyond the smoke and mirrors otherwise we remain part of the problem

So now that Raila also has state protection and policemen around him, are we to infer that he is also in-fact a state project? Some arguments are so infantile. ;D ;D ;D ;D In ODM's universe, everyone opposed to RAO is a project. Project happens to be the "loaded" word that ODM reloaded will bandy out to the other side forgetting full well RAO is a project of the western powers (& I don't mean Western Kenya)... @ cheshire cat - with mm you're in good company. mm actually says he set up RAO's escort and security. ask him why RAO has that privilledge b6 This is somebody who complains about a 10k bill left for him when 2 senior people are actually meeting to discuss how his children can go to school and eat (he can not provide THE BASICS for his family). Now he can hire a a whole contingent of police plus the DC and OCPD complete with armed escort, for a book launch where a handful of his books are sold. you want to say he is not a project. Honestly common sense is not common to all of us.

Can someone tell me weather is Jukwaa's Onyango Oloo who is being confused with the TNA guy or the TNA guy was really there? If he was there, then in the immortal words of Kiraitu Murungi," There is something fishy about this mbill"

Common sense from an administrative standpoint would therefore be to ensure a relatively high presence of security agents to avoid such an outcome. No one was hurt so common sense to have won the day. Had Miguna walked into that hall alone we would be referring to him as the late by now. I have said it before & will say it again. Miguna needs to cease & desist egging on his former boss, & more critically, his former boss's supporters. The book is out, he should let it speak for itself. This will not end well for him and/or his family.

That is why Raila is provided with state security and why it is unusual for Miguna to be so heavily protected. The surprise is that I have to say this. Chokoraa, you are right.

Common sense from an administrative standpoint would therefore be to ensure a relatively high presence of security agents to avoid such an outcome. I said sense is not very common but I will try and put it into your head. If the police (read NSIS) had such intelligence before hand then the most logical thing would be to abandon the MM business in town (historically this is the only way to avoid ''bloodshed'') - but a show of might and force by the security agencies is not common sense. Remember only cowards live to fight another day, that is why ''when the madman runs away with your clothes you do not run after him''.

Who failed to do their homework here? The Kisumu heckler or the DN reporter? I believe Onyango Oloo of TNA was not with Miguna in Kisumu.

But I am facing a strange confusion. I am beginning to find less and less difference between the two. They both seem aboard the anti-Raila gravy train for one. Is this transfiguration or what? By the way, the Kisumu interlocutor was not heckling. He made a rather pregnant observation, which now occupies debate!

If he was there, then in the immortal words of Kiraitu Murungi," There is something fishy about this mbill" You saw that the programme for this tour was unveilled by Onyango Oloo of Jukwaa, and his telephone number was there for anyone looking for clarification. It IS Jukwaa Administrator that the NMG reporter is confusing with the TNA Secretary General (a fact that the latter enjoys). Even part of the audience were not aware that OO is aligned to SDP and is a different personality from OO of TNA. I suggest we wait for Miguna's statement which will soon be coming our way via OO of Jukwaa.

The bank is a state project 2. the bank is a very important institution unlike kawaida people and just like the prime minister 2. The police are simply proactively responding to a unconfirmed but likely event of people attempting to make withdrawals from the said bank without first having deposited the money. which do you think it is mr. commonsense?

Chesirecat; There is not really much sense in arguing over this. This is what you said: I was only pointing out that indeed, Raila is a state project otherwise known as Prime Minister, whereas Miguna is not. Now I fully accept that Miguna might have paid for security, or that police were just being proactive or in fact as is my contention, that the madman and his retinue are now in good books with the state powers that be. These are possibilities. I found all this to be obvious and therefore common sense. I was wrong. Beyond that, police do not guard private banks as normal practice. They are often hired to protect cash-in-transit. But G4S and other private guards are hired to guard banks.

The OO involved in this Miguna circus is none other than Jukwaa's own Onyango Oloo. He is visible in the "Go baby go" clip. The most hillarious bit of this entire circus is that Miguna "made Raila". Love him or hate him, Raila is a strategist and he pulled most of the moves before most Kenyans knew who Miguna was. The 2002 Rainbow rebellion & the 2005 no vote against the Wacko draft immediately come to mind. In fact Miguna only joined the ODM effort after the groundwork had been laid.
When he refers to writing 'all' of Raila's speeches. Raila is a person who doesn't work well with prepared speeches, most of what is quoted is normally whatever he states off the cuff. But with that said, I doubt whether Miguna was responsible for *All* of Raila's speeches.
This Miguna fella is so full of himself. There was a time Jeff Koinange asked him on the bench on who was going to win the next elections. He said he didn't know, the only thing he knew was that Raila was not going to win....when asked to expound, he asked a rhetorical question "Haven't you seen how Raila has been losing support since I left that office?"! Miguna is allegedly a teetotaler, but such statements come from someone who is high on something...

Jukwaa has now seen and the whole world is witness at how Miguna is shamelessly being used as a state project. Book promotion my @ss! We predicted how Miguna would issue inflamatory statements in Kisumu, a city in which nearly all communities of Kenya live and vote in. Not only was the speech geared towards inciting Kisumu residents against Raila Odinga and ODM, Miguna went as far as insulting the voters of Kisumu and the wider Nyanza. As we all saw, Miguna was going around with state bodyguards including armed Kenya Police which gave him the confidence that nothing could touch him and his tour in Kisumu was actually being co-ordinated by provincial administration, by no less a person than Kisumu DC Williy Cheboi accompanied by the Kisumu OCPD. These are the senior most government employees in town - people who report directly to the PS at Internal Security Ministry and by extension Civil Service Boss Francis Kimemia at Office of the President. Let's cut the chase folks. Miguna is hardly promoting his book. Miguna is doing dirty work for the powers that be. The same ones who paid to get the book published, the same ones who financed his holiday to Canada, the same ones who are paying for his country-wide promotional tour. The funny thing is that he might not even know that he is being used. What a hoax Miguna and some of these so called reformers have turned out to be. Thank God, Nyando voters had the foresight to reject him in 2007. So now that Raila also has state protection and policemen around him, are we to infer that he is also in-fact a state project? Some arguments are so infantile. so now you have elevated Miguna to the position of Prime Minster? meaning he is supposed to have the same security around him? ;D ;D no wonder the guy thought he should be given the position of AG.. what utter nonsense.. his handlers are really lying to him.. and he to will come and go down the drains..

Common sense? answer this one !!Onyango Oloo is Uhuru's campaign Chairman and now Miguna's handler thorugh Proxy yani Uhuru & Co think Kenyans are fools? Miguna's pockets are flowing with $$$$$$ curtsy of Uhuru & Co rumours had i for a long time? broad daylight side shows at the Kisumu book launch with Onyango Oloo Uhuru's chairman organizing everything for Miguna says it all!

Ofcourse they had Intelligence! after all Onyango Oloo Uhuru's Chairman was in the house.. the problem the plan didn't work. Miguna was to incite the Luo populace so that they could react " calling them voter Robots" was just the beginning , actually me thinks the cops were the ones scared for their lives, if the crowed were to surge they too could have been hurt after Miguna abused the them, He was the instigator and not the people who listened patiently while he abused and insulted Raila and ODM party is Miguna now telling Kenyans that the PNU, or Uhuru's party is the best in Kenya? and that Kenyans should vote for Uhuru's party and not ODM, since it seems Miguna has Joined party Uhuru gravy train? lets wait and see where he wil make a come back for re-elections.. which party is he going to use..

Miguna is to be protected at all costs because the project he is working on very Important to the owner of the banks and he has even given full security that money can buy to protect his Miguna project including his own bank Chairman Onyango Oloo ;D ;D

I find it sensitizing Miguna doing these meet the people tours (book is rather expensive I think). There is no better school for reality check than being thrown to the wolves. When the audience is not pre-screened, fixed, these are some of the most informative, instructive confrontations a fella can have in his country, if he is the learning type, because nothing goes according script. I remember Tony Blair rendered speechcless about the National health service by a simple question from a 'real person'; and Gordon Brown loosing his premiership after insulting a labour voter he could not handle, thinking the microphones were off. (they had practiced on what are called target audiences! and reality did not obey laboratory rules!) Then there was Obama too in a town hall, reduced to sheepish grins by an unexpected question.
In free interactions, there is the risk of coming up against planted agent provocateurs, paid hecklers and assortment of desperate agendas, programmed to ruin one. These are not interested in whatever product or idea one is flogging, but just ones destruction and public humiliation. A good test of nerve.
Apart from the paid acts and fake emotions of professional hecklers, one, if keen enough, can come across some genuine stuff, like true hatred, whose capacity for malice is then taken in. Absorbing the energy of the crowd to tune ones capacities for response.
A rowdy mob in itself is not much in the long term. Since a study of mob behaviour will reveal the intensity and courage expressed by the mob, does not necessarily reflect the individual opinions of the separate members of the mob. The mob is collective hysterical behaviour, like a group of angry soldiers fired to the last neuron, murdering a whole village, then when called individually to court-martial, are reduced to pathetic loosers.
At the same time it is good to know when one is watching a show. When one realises there is even a greater drama going on behind the scenes that what is on stage. I think the Raila-Miguna fallout represents something deeper. It is not yet clear, but there is an instinctive feeling there is more to it, more, that even the two protagonists may not be aware of. Its public phase is not the main course, but the smoke with the fire burning elsewhere.
There is a story in not yet Uhuru, about Jaramogi as a boy, crying and making noises following a group of 'respectable people' going to a respectable function, but one of whom had confiscated young Adonija's toy. At long last the bully, fearing a shame of sorts, had give back the toy, and placated the pest. It was the victory of becoming a persistent nuisance, but a very long walk back home for the determined boy.
I find it a moment of comical relief, Miguna saying he made Raila Odinga. Unbelievable. But so too is professor Nyong'o and his press release on this 'sinister' mission; and Raila's pledge to ignore Miguna, only to have the most educated members of his court expending tremendous mental energy on the same Miguna, with himself not making things better by his vitendawili about madmen.
Unfortunately in reality, it usually takes a mad man to tell the King he is naked, and the rest singing the praises of his great invincible suit, are usually just in the old game of not spoiling a good feast going.

Mine are just plain and simple observations: I have nothing against Raeella and I have nothing against Meeguna. I bear no emotions against either.
But I am now certainly concerned about Meeguna. Having his clip at Kisumu, I am of the honest opinion that I think Meeguna, sadly, has some mental issues he needs help with. This is without any malice whatsoever.
I think we should pray for him.
