Prof:
Interesting perspectives you invite us to consider here. My only problem though is, you are looking at this thing from the same lenses over and over, you cannot see it differently. Barrack Muluka is simply a more refined version of David Ndii. They say the same thing but in different languages. Whereas Muluka is a little more urbane in approach, Ndii is riff-raff-ish. They both have been socialized in the same way and don't know it any other way. In their vocabulary, Jomo Kenyatta and his descendants are the problem. In their minds, we have no future as a country as long as we continue to reject the Odinga orphans. They seem to believe that Carey Francis' English should be the only English spoken by everyone now and in future, they have refused to move with the times.
The nationalist contract the younger Kenyatta and his jubilee are selling to us, has nothing to do with the tribe. In fact it has nothing to do with any specific people or region, but everything with a certain thinking, a new thinking. A thinking that does not look at government as the solution to our troubles but as a facilitator to our own solving of those troubles. A thinking that focuses our attention to our place on the global scene where our ideas should compete with the best. A thinking that redefines our identity beyond Luo and Kikuyu.
We've already broken the ground in readiness for this take off. The 2013 elections was a game changer that many of us have not fathomed. Looking at the work Jubilee has done in the last three or so years reveals a foundation that is taking shape. The transformation is real and in every corner. It is not benefiting Kikuyus and Luos alone, it is in Turkana, Kilifi, Busia, Narok everywhere. Women and the youth, disabled and old, all have a platform and realistic chance to make their contribution. Education, health, infrastructure, ICT etc are all taking shape. This is a huge scare to the Ndiis of this world and their benefactors. They have to consistently sell to us what we are used to, in the hope that we shall reject the new order to perpetuate a system that benefits them more. They are wrong. It will not happen.
They had a chance in 2013 to puncture our wheels, they failed. Not that they never tried, no. They called all stops, they were in virtually all western cities conspiring with powers that be to scuttle the crusade. They failed. They tried our judiciary, they failed. They never gave up. All you are seeing and reading now, is the last desperate move whose intention is to force a githeri-like government where they will plant their destructive forces to fight from within. It is their last hope, literally, that is what Ngunyi Mutahi is addressing himself to in those videos. Like before, they will fail. I am looking at the zodiac and signs are, the nationalist contract is an idea of the times, it will triumph.
