I Uhuru's Political Career Is Finished, www.the-star.co.ke/news/article-106660/why-uhurus-political-career-finished published in the Star on Saturday, I compare the political career of Uhuru Kenyatta to that of OJ Simpson and conclude much as OJ's career was finished after being charged with the double murder of his wife and one other person, so too is Uhuru's political career finished after being charged with the serious crimes against humanity he now faces at the Hague. I also urge Uhuru to abandon his presidential quest and even endorse Raila. |

The guy is the next president of Kenya although I am not a big fan. Do not get into company of Mutahi Ngunyi who make bizzare predictions.

Omwenga,
It is too late for you to be asking Uhuru to drop out of the race, you shoul have done so before we passed the new constitution, if you get what I mean. And by the way, wasn't this the plan from the get go with these cases? Gladly, it has fallen flat on its face when Kenyans ably read through those shenanigans.

Omwenga:
Kenya is an African country, not the USA; so I wouldn't apply the same logic. Indeed, right now Uhuru seems to be at a peak in his political career. By the way, what career of OJ's got finished? I thought that by then he had long retired from his profession.

Omwenga repeatedly seems to get confused on the dissimilarities between those whose currency is the US dollars and those who have to count their shillings as they board matatus whilst pondering on how to get that Kimbo ndogo from the Kiosk round the corner for their Sukuma of the day.
No, Uhuru's situation is nowhere near any similarity with OJ's and I think even the pending decision of the High Court will just be an endorsement in his favour, come the 15th of Feb, in five days' time!

Omwenga,
When you have time read the comments on star.co.ke on your article. Kenyans are BEMUSED on your school of thought.

Mwalimumkuu, I am not naive to believe Uhuru can easily do as I am asking him but I ask nonetheless in making the point there is absolutely nothing wrong for him to do as I ask as this has many immediate and long-term benefits as noted in the blog. It's never too late to do anything worth doing. |

BTW, OJ had moved on to a new career in sportscasting and acting that was kaput after he was charged with the murders. |

After WATCHING this video clip i realized that Uhuru and Ruto made a very powerful comments which will not get a lot of air time since the other media houses will ignore it.
Here they seems to concede that their journey might come to an end and they openly admit that they were in this race not to win but to make a point, don't forget they were in a church and their confession is genuine, did it sound like they are throwing the towel?

Otis, That remains to be seen it's just my take on this. So, shouldn't we wait for it to be seen before we shout it out from the rooftops? ;D Perhaps we have a different definition of "career". As far as I can tell, even while playing ball OJ was doing movies on the side, as some sort of hobby, and continued to do so after retiring: I think he made as many movies before retiring as he did after. Also, I could be wrong, but I thought his sportscasting was also just another small gig after he retired. Anyway, my point was that the mere fact that Uhuru is even running---and with fairly strong support from the populace---should be enough to indicate that Kenya is Kenya (Africa is Africa), and the USA is the USA. |

Just stating my views as I always do. |

If a day is a long time in politics, what pray tell is 22? Some of us can be objective enough to read your missives, superimpose upon them Jakaswanga's (God bless him) more balanced dispatches from Nyanza, mix on top of that Mutahi Ngunyi's "Tyranny of Numbers" & see all is not well with the CORDed bunch. All I am waiting for is tonight's debate to see whether your man will get a bump upwards or get dumped. My gut feeling tells me it will be downhill from there as well. The election, as you rightfully state, remains a battle between competing factions of the status quo (aka KANU as PODP mentioned on another thread). The one faction you write off every other day (before you decided to write off UK, may just be the one to bite you in the derriere). There are still 22 days left for realignments to ensure ABR wins the day ;D ;D ;D ;D |

Omwenga,
I do understand your point here. Uhuru may not be fit to be president and many Kenyans can attest to that, but without being biased, I think CORD in particular should take into account, Ngunyi's analyses. In as much as we want to sweep that under the carpet, the numbers are worrying.
I do not support Uhuru but, we may find ourselves having to be his subjects next month if we do not carefully digest Mutahi's words.

I do not support Uhuru but, we may find ourselves having to be his subjects next month if we do not carefully digest Mutahi's words. Subsaharanite, I don't know why all of a sudden a number of people are excited about what Mutahi Ngunyi said which is no different than I have heard numerous times and for more than a year from tribal math peddlers. There is just nothing new there and as I always say, never assume that Raila and his team don't have their own number crunchers; they do and if you were privy to their numbers, you wouldn't be as concerned. Put another way, you may be genuinely concerned with Ngunyi's tribal math analysis but I can assure you there are any number of ways he's off and he is I would rather his followers be content that they have it in the bag but the truth shall be known come March 4, 2013 or next day latest. Meanwhile, watch the unfolding of events in the days to come especially the public support Raila and Cord get from otherwise very quiet people who have been seating on the sidelines but not any more. We are not even talking about some unknowns but well known individuals from several key areas and regions around the country that should tell you something if you haven't seen it coming already. |

Omwenga,
Its not an excitement especially on my side, its the reality. I know CORD has its people punching their numbers. The implication is; For an average GEMA voter, the message Ngunyi is putting across is that the election is theirs to lose. And to CORD; you gotta work hard!

The implication is; For an average GEMA voter, the message Ngunyi is putting across is that the election is theirs to lose. And to CORD; you gotta work hard! You nailed it there. the message is - get out and vote as a block for our guy, and it doesnt matter what anyone else thinks or does. To me, this is a very dangerous message, especially given the events of the last election, when some people thought that they had the right to decide who leads Kenyans irrespective of the outcome of the elections. And guess who made the "prediction" that that would happen? my only hope is that we as Kenyans have learnt from the experince. otherwise I fear for and even more painful one ahead! |
