Spin doc Kabatesi Kibitsu, folks, needs some attention. The teacher in me can not resist using him as a scarecrow of how it must not be done! Remember Miguna? Equally clever, savvy and eloquent, this man burrowed so deep in Raila's entrails, became totally blind while the going lasted, anesthetized his senses of self-criticism, and declared every ill was sourced from the PNU side of the coalition, with Muthaura's prefecture. Of course late in the day he would come to his senses and write about how clueless he had been! It is a common fate with intellectuals of minds neutralised by the neighbourhood of power. So lets us see if Kibisu is salvageable before we loose him to political oxymoronism. Soon after Mudavadi quit ODM on what was definitely an unsustainable reason, his propaganda secretary Kibisu bared his media fangs and, to earn his keep, bent Dennis Onyango round after round with wicked jabs. After a while I lost interest in Kibisu, and waited for his mind to catch up with him some time later. Personally I am lucky to have gone through these phases before the age of 30, so I know political cycles can be very short. Think also of Mateeri Kereri who was Kibaki's best for 50 years, only to wake up one morning to discover all his bank accounts were blocked, and his best, to whom only yesterday he had been chief of staff as state house comptroller, was unreachable! And so within one year Kibitsu Kabatesi is issuing a statement declaring Jubilee dishonourable, integrity challenged, un-democratic etc etc! The issue? UK has reneged on his promise to stand down for Mudavd and hand him the head of the ticket on a platter! And UK's media team upstaged him too, declaring they themselves had KICKED OUT MUDAVADI from the alliance! Does anyone remember the statement about lack of democracy and transparency Kibisu had authored on the occasion of Mudavadi quitting ODM? Only to let herd Mudavadi into another dubious, legally unsound MOU! Perhaps Kibisu has no friends to explain the problem. His own intellectual integrity is in tatters. His failure to explain Mudavadi's own betrayal of Kenneth and Tuju at the last moment without notice, means he, Kabatesi, may only have a selective, highly subjective understanding of the words integrity and honour! He has made a fool of himself as a propagandist, or spin doctor as they now say, a lousy media-man. Failed to cover an earlier conquered base. You need a PR-upgrade yourself Kibitsu! you have ridiculed yourself into a public joke like your master Mudavadi. www.nation.co.ke/News/politics/Jubilee-dumps-Mudavadi/-/1064/1649058/-/item/1/-/11ieo3cz/-/index.html What happens, if Otishotish of Jukwaa, pumping muscle for PK, were to write: Mudavadi's unceremonious abandoning of PK&Tuju is an abuse of the collective intelligence of Tunawesmake supporters and Kenyans at large who are aware of ..... ;D How respondeth thou, Kibisu?

Poor Mudavadi is exactly where I predicted he would find himself - ALONE! After being played by several people, Mudavadi must go back to his community and ask them to give him a vote to keep his hopes alive of being king maker in the event of a run off (highly unlikely!). His biggest problem will be who he would ask his followers to support especially when you consider that both parties have actually screwed him in the run up to the elections! Which at the end of the tribal based politics today, you must feel sorry for the Luhyia when they end up splitting themselves into small votes that give the community very little lee way in determining how their country goes! MM amplifies the stereotype painted by one JK who once said 'MM's ethnic group are good cooks, watchmen and sugar cane cutters'. So as you say well the poor guy must have dreamt he was neither a watchman nor a cook nor has he ever cut sugarcane and hence just as he was handed over the MP-ship after his dads death, made Minister by Mo1 and later upgraded to a 3 month Vice President who like Moody after him could not defend that seat and had to be resurrected by RAO to rise up to be DPM the twin suspects (Uhuruto) of crimes against humanity would hand him the reigns of representing them for presidential election. Among cooks, watchmen and sugarcane cutters is where MM is going to head now to get advise on what to do next. As Omwenga says the boy needs to forget politics unless someone ones to resurrect him again. Disclaimer: on Waumini radio one Khagati sending salaams started by saying 'mimi Khagati ni mwanamme kamili'.....maybe MM needs to say that to himself too

This Jirongo guy thinks everyone is an idiot like he is. Here he is again yapping about State House projects again like he did some weeks ago when he shouted from the roof tops how Mudavadi was a state house project. But wasn't he the same man a few days ago who, together with Eugene publicly stated that they would throw their support behind Mudavadi should he (Mudavadi) get the Jubilee nomonation?? So at the time Mudavadi was almosst being given ticket on a slilver platter the project thing was no longer an issue but now all of a sudden it is an issue again. Bloody Bure kabisa

The way to go Bw. Mudavadi: Mudavadi in Mumias Town, Sunday 23/12/12 www.nation.co.ke/News/politics/Mudavadi-Uhuru-Ruto-playing-games-for-selfish-gains/-/1064/1650598/-/11sbqnxz/-/index.htmlIt is time to disabused our minds of the notion that you are a freeloader. You must be willing to toil, dirty your hands and sweat it out just like anyone else. You now has a chance of a lifetime to rally the Luhyas behind you. It is obvious your people are wounded and really have a lot of sympathy for you. It is time to swing in and tap into those emotions. You must weave a very good story that explains to them why it is very important for them to seize this moment and pass a message to the rest of the country. A message that, them too can produce a president. Otherwise sitting down and resigning to fate eti oh dini ya mswambwa ilisema, eti oh Masinde alisema, cannot be a strategy for the future. Where will Masinde get the presidency for you? It is time to win and protect your constituency like a chicken protects its chicks from a very hungry eagle at sunset. You already have a good number of MPs to begin the fight with, make sure you keep them and give them hope and reason to stay with you. You have a bright future, only if you can remain standing by weathering the current storm, which I believe you can.

Surely is this the best advise you can give MaDVD in the 21st century ? i.e retreat to the tribal cocoon & whip emotions that the luhya has been mistreated/wounded? Nooooooooooo! He is the one wounded because he wanted it for himself & the mademoni/devil as the luhya elders put it recently. Luhya community is not that daft, they know it & cannot give him a chance to misuse them again for personal gain or a negotiating tool.

Bob,All politics is local my friend, even in Britain and America. Mudavadi is likely to get a good chunk of support and MPs from Kakamega than Luo Nyanza or Nyeri. His political world has reduced considerably, he must accept it and start building from where he is well known, western.

Mudavadi must be his own man he has thus far demonstrated he is not and that's not slighting him but stating a fact.

The devil wants him to go with Kenneth/ Wamalwa & Tuju team but baba Moi wants him to go with KANU ;D ;D but Baba Moi has not been the one funding his campaigns.. I guess Kenneth coalition will hand him the Presdential ticket after a mock delegates election process..

It looks like Mudavadi is begining to listen to some wise counsel. He is so far receiving good response from western. If I were him, I would organize a whirlwind tour of the region before returning to Nairobi for negotiations with whomever else.
Luhyas seem to have learnt something from the pre-election pacts and are ready to consolidate their vote for a hard and better bargain post-election. He should keep fighting, things are looking good for him. Together with Wamalwa, they may just end up pulling some surprises.

What Mudavadi and Eugene are doing is what they should have done earlier before running around they re small kings of their own. If they can get the unity of their community all sewn up, then they have a chance of going either to Jubilee and negotiate cleanly again or go to CoRd and hope to get a deal over Wetangula going into the election.

Kamale, Can't agree more, the guys started climbing a tree from the top. How can one do that and expect to succeed? They are now striking the right notes, if only they can sustain it. It looks like PK, has realized that he has nothing from anywhere and if he can ride on these guys' shoulders, he can get something, in return, the two will have a very cool looking guy for a running mate. It is getting interesting each passing day.

It is getting interesting each passing day. Mwalimumkuu, When the votes are cast and counted come March 4, 2013, Raila and Cord would have carried the Luhya vote by more than 80%, Eunice and Mudavadi can have the rest. In the worst possible scenario, the number will be at least 70%. Note that's not tribal bloc voting as would be the case if the same numbers voted for either Eunice or Mudavadi--a scenario you and obviously State House KSG schemers have been hoping for and still do to some extent in their Mudavadi project they're now trying to marry with Eunice and PK. Let me know if you don't know or can't see the distinction and I'll be happy to expound. All these projects are doomed to fail because as in 2002, a majority of Kenyans will reject them as nothing but schemes designed to preserve the interests of the few at their expense the only difference this time is all Kenyans will get to enjoy the fruits of the labor of those who defeat these projects by way of the resultant good governance and desired leadership for the country unlike anything we have seen or experienced ever.

Omwenga, I seriously don't see how your view holds true. My little understanding of this region from my working and interacting with folks from that end, reveal an aggrieved people. A people who feel that their support for other candidates has not helped tgem in any way. Sugar farmers in that area only knew the joy of farming when Ruto was minister for agriculture. Their main industry, the pan paper mill has been closed for the longest period since it first opened despite them having voted for the PM to a man. The feeling is therefore, if their vote has to be wasted in that manner, then it better be wasted on their own son or daughter. So far Muda and Wamalwa are showing encouraging signs, more so Muda. Secondly, the immediate events around coalition building has in many ways rubbed it in even more. The people have realized that their lack of a strong candidate is hurting them, and that is where Mudavadi comes in. Currently Muda is sitting very pretty in Kakamega and Vihiga counties, two of the three largest counties in the region. He is in fact beating the PM by double digits. With the entry of Wamalwa, Bungoma is now in play. You see, the young man is loved in that county. In him, they see the future of Ababukusu. The only thing Wetangula has is Ford-K. Other than that, there is really nothing to pull the people in his direction. The only county the PM seems to be well in is Busia. But again Muda has not invested much in Busia, if he can get the endorsement he is looking for, am sure Busia too will move. Even if it does not, it really does not have that matter that much as its figures are way below any of the other three counties. More reason why the PM must hold many more meetings with Atwoli. Over to you Bw. Omwenga.

Lets people not play games.. Most people in western are aware that Mudavadi & Wamalwa are Uhuru "TNA" /Jubilee projects.. the mess come about when the two blocks of godfathers 'Central province A" Kiambu '& "Central B" Nyeri faced off..and agreed to disagree .. Central Province "A" won By denying Mudavadi the direct presidential ticket under the Jubilee umbrella.. Rumour has it that the Duo Mudavadi & Wamalwa have been advised by their central province backers to Merge parties and try to swing the Western vote.. for yours truly Jubilee.. discussions are underway.. $$$$$ to be paid out yet again as rumors have it on the ground.. The problem with Wamalwa/Mudavadi.. most Kenyans even school kids now know that they are both Central province Elite Project.. Western province will not support two individuals that are remotely controlled from central province !!

It's a legitimate gripe but one if you understand the history of Western politics, it's not that hard to understand why and guess who must be blamed for perpetuating the problem and actually making it worse? Yes, Musalia Mudavadi. When Raila resurrected Mudavadi from his previous comatose political life, it was expected he will follow Raila to State House as president. The naive, weak and indecisive man he is others must make decisions for him, Mudavadi allowed himself to be used as a project by those he now knows were only interested in destroying or blocking Raila than having him elected president. He has squandered the community's chances and having proven he's not his own man, the community must go back to the drawing board chart a course that shall have one of theirs in State House for they know that won't be and will never be Mudavadi for the foregoing reasons. Unless, of course, he wises up and returns to Cord where he might have a remote chance of doing so--after the more wiser ahead of him have had their turn.

Surprisingly, however, Bungoma has the largest number of undecideds, more reason I told you that Wamalwa could easily swing it Mudavadi's way if he plays ball. I am therefore convinced that if Muda spends a little more time in western and explains to his people why they must stand by their own this time round, he will wrap it. He will need to stop wasting time on coalition talks because the deadline for coalitions already long since passed. Instead of travelling to Nairobi to sit in hotels with party mandarins, he should spend each and every minute he has reassuring his constituents that they are in this race to the end. He so far has very good will but not that solid. He must work hard to solidify it, if he slips up even an inch, he is toast.

Mwalimumkuu, It's clear as clear can be you don't know what's going on in the land where my brother's cows are grazing. Let me just tell you Eunice or Mudavadi or both can do what they wish to do but a vast majority of Luhyas have decided Raila is their man and in a blog I'll post soon, I'll explore in more detail the point you raise about Luhyas playing second fiddle. It's a legitimate gripe but one if you understand the history of Western politics, it's not that hard to understand why and guess who must be blamed for perpetuating the problem and actually making it worse? Yes, Musalia Mudavadi. When Raila resurrected Mudavadi from his previous comatose political life, it was expected he will follow Raila to State House as president. The naive, weak and indecisive man he is others must make decisions for him, Mudavadi allowed himself to be used as a project by those he now knows were only interested in destroying or blocking Raila than having him elected president. He has squandered the community's chances and having proven he's not his own man, the community must go back to the drawing board chart a course that shall have one of theirs in State House for they know that won't be and will never be Mudavadi for the foregoing reasons. Unless, of course, he wises up and returns to Cord where he might have a remote chance of doing so--after the more wiser ahead of him have had their turn. Omwenga, I must say I am disappointed. I did not expect that from a man of letters like you. I expected you to demonstrate to me how Mudavadi is losing the western war to CORD in a manner that is sensible and not wishful thinking. I have already told you that the numbers I have seen elsewhere have Muda ahead in Kakamega and Vihiga by double digits and behind in Busia and Bungoma by single digits.

I guess if your numbers make good for bedtime stories during this Xmas & New year season for you & your family..then you must be a happy man.. Meanwhile coming from central province you have no clue in regards to Western Kenya Politics.. Mudavadi has nothing, no base , the last Rally he had primary school kids attending his rally clapping for him .. Kids don't vote ;D ;D(go watch the video) maybe it might refresh your mind.. Jubilee is in dream world when it comes to Western province, they will not even garner 2% of the vote let alone the needed 25%.. it is like saying Mudavadi will garner 90% in central province ;D ;D maybe he does have a big following in central province from the "Devils "that put pressure on Uhuru to step down from the Presidential race.. ( Read: Statehouse- Nyeri district) should Kenyans assume Mudavadi will get 90% votes in Nyeri and surrounding counties controlled bu statehouse operators? defeat Uhuru in his own backyard???just maybe.. Jubillee is running scared..

Kiraitu Murungi Alliance Party of Kenya has been Ordered by the "DEVILS" to form alliance with MUDAVADI 'S UDF PARTY.. [/size][/b] United Democratic Forum presidential aspirant Musalia Mudavadi is set to unveil his line-up on January 4. Assistant minister George Khaniri said more than 6,000 delegates would converge at Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, to nominate the flag bearer. “Delegates would assemble at Kasarani (Nairobi) on January 4 to nominate a presidential candidate,” said the Hamisi MP. “We will also unveil our running mate and Leader of Majority in Parliament and Senate.” Addressing a crowd during celebrations to mark the Maragoli Cultural Festival, Khaniri said Mudavadi’s rivals should not underrate him. Cabinet minister Soita Shitanda, Khaniri, MPs Justus Kizito and former MP Mark Too attended the ceremony that brought together more than 10,000 members of the Maragoli community across East Africa. Talks with Kiraitu Mudavadi, who signed a political deal with Kanu, is expected to give Kanu national chairman Gideon Moi the position of Leader of Majority in Senate. Kanu Secretary-General Nick Salat attended a UDF rally at Nabongo grounds in Mumias on Monday and declared the party supported Mudavadi for president. “I have been sent here by my chairman Gideon to declare our support for Mudavadi. We have entered into a deal with UDF and we would not denounce it the way those other leaders (Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto) did,” Salat said. Yusuf Chanzu, who was the host MP during the Mbale rally, said leaders from Western who were not with Mudavadi risk losing their bids. “The Mudavadi political wave will sweep those found on the wrong side,” he added. www.standardmedia.co.ke/?articleID=2000073806&story_title=UDF-to-unveil-line-up-in-week%E2%80%99s-time

MUDAVADI'S CROOKED DEALS EXPOSED!!National Assembly Speaker Kenneth Marende has directed the parliamentary committee on Local Authorities to probe and table a report on the deal between Narok County Council and Equity Bank over the introduction of smart card at the gates of Maasai Mara Game Reserve. The legislators also questioned why the council entered into the 10-year contract yet county governments will be created after next year's elections and take over the roles of councils.The MPs claimed the revenue collection contract was not tendered and what the bank was doing could be an illegality. allafrica.com/stories/201111231345.htmlWHAT IS MUDAVADI'S RELATIONSHIP WITH EQUITY BANK? HOW CAN HE SAY THE MASAI MARA ENTRANCE COLLECTION DEAL BETWEEN EQUITY BANK WITH SOME 49 NAROK COUNCILORS IS ABOVE BOARD WHEN THE SAME COUNCILORS BACKED OFF? THIS IS CORRUPTION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL!! MUDAVADI BEFORE HE SEEKS ATI PRESIDENCY TICKET,!!SHOULD ANSWER TO KENYANS HOW THESE DEAL COVERS THE BEST INTERESTS OF NAROK COUNTY! BURE KABISA!!

Hon. Mudavadi held a press conference with Nicholas Biwott, seriously? I won't say anything more going foward about Hon. Musalia, I wish him well in his political career! I hope to meet him one day to seek his endorsement for my run.
