Some Digital Hints by Onyango Oloo Ruto's Replacement?I have been mulling over the Baba While You Were Away Come Back Rally as well as President Uhuru Kenyatta's apparently off the cuff remarks acceding to national dialogue in concluding his Madaraka Day speech. Things have not been adding up. For me at least. For instance, the frenzied jostling for the microphone at the Uhuru Park event. Was Kalonzo Musyoka trying to steal Raila Odinga's thunder when he rushed to announce CORD's national dialogue ultimatum moments before the former Prime Minister took the podium? Was Deputy President William Ruto trying to force Uhuru Kenyatta's hand by dismissing CORD's overture BEFORE the commencement of the May 31st mammoth rally? Was President Kenyatta referring to CORD or URP when he trashed notions of a " nusu mkate" coalition arrangement? Those of us in Nairobi know for a fact that some of the leading ODM/Wiper/Ford Kenya senators, MPs, governors-NOT JUST EVANS KIDERO-have been feeding at the Jubilee trough for months so to see them gesticulating, chest thumping and committing other acts of fake braggadocio made some us almost vomit after recovering from death inducing cynical laughter at the eleventh hour.
So what gives?
CORD is not about to embark on a series of mass action stampedes across the 47 counties to bring Jubilee to its knees. No siree! It is not often appreciated that ALL the leading lights of both formations-CORD and Jubilee-were in the SAME POLITICAL OUTFIT-the Orange Democratic Movement-as recently as the year 2005!
Perhaps some of the rabid TNA die hards have forgotten that Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta was a star performer at ODM's YES rallies only nine years ago. Maybe this October 2005 Jukwaa thread will remind them: jukwaa.proboards.com/thread/100/arrest-raila-uhuru-orange-leaders12 years ago both Raila Odinga and Uhuru Kenyatta were on Daniel arap Moi’s short short list to continue KANU’s hegemony over the long suffering Kenyans. It was the falling out among Nyayo’s crown princes that compelled the son of a former vice president to seek out a former vice president and precipitate what turned out to be KANU’s grave digger. The key to understanding Kenya’s corruption tinged power politics is to take the tribal spectacles off and look beyond the strident but ultimately hypocritical histrionics about allegedly evil imperialist enemies of Kenya’s sovereignty. It is all a charade, the ethnic noisemaking; it is all political pantomime of the macabre the make believe “anti-imperialist” sabre rattling. Kenya is divided yes-but not along the non-ideological personality based cleavages we see in the mainstream media; certainly it is not Mount Kenya against the rest of Kenya as pro-establishment pundits posit. No the schisms, the widening chasms in Kenyan society are CLASS-based; unfortunately they are NOT YET IDEOLOGICAL.
The comprador, would be national bourgeois elite is UNITED in their determination to loot, to rape, to plunder and pillage the country. From Siaya County to Kiambu County; Kitui to Narok; Turkana to Mombasa; Bungoma to Marsabit; Nyeri to Homa Bay; Eldoret to Kwale and all counties in between, this rapacious bunch is united by one driving force-greed in all its permutations and combinations. For evidence, look at the unfolding pandemonium at the county government levels with MCAs duking it out with governors on who will be the top dog in tenderpreneurship and devolved graft.
What propels the so called “political class” (an incorrect, imprecise and unscientific appellation if there was ever was one-speaking as an unapologetic Marxist-Leninist) in Kenya is nothing profound. These fellows do not read; two of the most prominent boasted publicly that the only useful function of newspapers is wrapping meat. They don’t reflect-they fornicate instead. They don’t debate-they heckle. Their public rallies do not produce soaring oratorical revelations on the national condition. Oh no, these are new opportunities to hold new auditions and renditions on who is the Mugithi champion in waiting or the latest Ohangla dancing sensation.
What propels the political class in Kenya is ELITE PACTING; horse trading or political cattle rustling by another name. CORD came together as a result of elite pacting among a trio who had been feuding for years- Raila, Kalonzo and Wetangula. Jubilee was a marriage of convenience between erstwhile KANU blood brothers who are arraigned in the International Criminal Court on grave charges of crimes against humanity- Uhuru and Ruto. What was the binding glue in both scenarios? Elite pacting for political and personal survival.
I am arguing that you cannot make sense of the Uhuru Park Rally or the Madaraka Day celebrations at Nyayo Stadium if you omit elite pacting from your equation. There are going to be seismic changes in the Kenyan political landscape over the coming months.
Living and working in Nairobi and listening to serious people with grey matter between their ears as opposed to decaying porridge has helped some of us to discern what never makes its way to the newspapers or the content free radio and television shows. Today I will share with you a tiny snippet from one such person. I will save the rest for another day. A few hours ago, I was talking to one of my good friends who has a very senior position in one of the major formations and has deep and valuable contacts in the other. Here is what he told me. William Ruto is on his way out. His Jubilee partners are convinced that he is on the verge of being snared by the Hague process. In his Kalenjin backyard, there is a growing revolt against his paramount chief status.
Moses Wetangula is on his way in. It is possible that Weta may be Uhuru’s deputy before the end of 2014.Where is all this coming from? Behind the scenes my source intimates to me, Raila Odinga and Uhuru Kenyatta have been meeting secretly, intermittently over the last few months. Yes, there is an imperialist hand in all this. The West has always wanted Raila to be part of any ruling clique in Kenya. They find him, according to their geo-political calculus, “a stabilizing force”. It may be a bit impulsive to bring Raila to a role similar to the one he played with the signing of the National Accord in February 2008. That is why Wetangula will do in the interim. The Bungoma Senator is Number Three in CORD’s pecking order, but was a key linchpin in the PNU faction up to quite recently. Ruto is seen by his TNA sponsors as having outlived his political usefulness. He would be a very convenient scapegoat to help get the ICC millstone from the neck of the Jubilee regime.
It may not be accidental that Uhuru ordered the ghosts of Anglo Leasing to be paid, anticipating the political maelstrom it would be brew. Remember Perrera and Kamani are readymade South Asian scarecrows to shake sticks at. The Big Shetani of Anglo Leasing is Jimi Wanjigi the billionaire offspring of former Moi era cabinet minister Maina Wanjigi. It is said that it is Jimi who delivered William Ruto to Uhuru. Perhaps there is a plan to go after Jimi to demolish one of Ruto’s financial support bases.I am also being told by someone else that Alfred Keter, the gadfly who has been giving William Ruto sleepless nights is actually a covert emissary for Uhuru Kenyatta even though he has to attack the President to maintain his cover. I could say more, but let me pause here. Is the above just aimless idle prattle and reckless spittle?
Well, time will tell whether Onyango Oloo has taken up marijuana smoking or glue sniffing in his 54th year on Mother Earth.

Some Digital Hints by Onyango Olooblah blah blah What is the end game for CORD in letting Wetangula become a mere ceremonial Deputy President, have we forgotten what URP is going through right now, the 50/50 is dead, what makes you think a Wetangula deputy presidency will benefit the CORD outfit now and in the future. A Raila premiership was enshrined in the national Accord, even though Kibaki and his cronies frustrated Raila, at least his authority and independence could be felt and seen by Kenyans, this rumors will only benefit the JUBILEE propaganda machine and shake the CORD unity. |

Two things.
1. I was REPORTING a conversation from an actual source close to BOTH Jubilee and CORD.
2. I did not relay EVERYTHING I was told.
Pay attention to this tiny paragraph:

Feedback from Nipate. As you can see, they do NOT roll out the red carpet every time I visit. That is why I simply ADORE them. What would life be without a bunch of wing nuts flinging their self produced waste matter every time they see you approaching: nipate.com/wetangula-as-the-next-deputy-president-t41310.html |

Heheheee!! OO what exactly did you do to those guys at Nipate? Anyhow, Wetangula is a valueless politician to anyone leave alone Uhuru. His voters are as unpredictable as they come. But what else can men talk about on a Saturday afternoon in a river road bar after a failed Uhuru Park rally?

Just breezed through that nipate site Oloo. I am reminded of a previous life when I was a confused young man surrounded by like minded people. I dated a girl or two that I didn't pick right and that obviously brought problems in my life. I was in a very bad place in life. One day a childhood friend came to visit from a far and only said one thing "wefwe, why are you scrapping the bottom of the barrel in your choice of women and friends ? " I guess that was the begining of my turnaround.
I just glanced through that site and the level of intellect shown in the discussions make me think no should waste their time there. With kids like that, I fee sorry for our future generation.
Anyway, I digress. We first have to realize the complexities of Luhya politics. Ever since Masinde Muliro and to a lesser extent, Wamalwa, the Luhya's have never voted for their "chosen tribal god" en masse. That is due to various factors: as much as many would deny it, we actually vote on issues bigger than tribe. Whoever doubts me can look at the province's past voting record. I shook my head during the last elections when a TNA leaning friend of mine was exasperated asking me why Luhyas don't all vote enmasse for their chosen candidate (Mudavadi). He stated that we would be a major voting force if we could vote en masse for their chosen "Luhya leader" . I told him he doesn't understand the Luhyas. Secondly, we are a conglomerate of sub-tribes; bukusu, maragoli, teso, samia etc. The bukusus think they are the real/chosen luhya. The rest are a watered down version so a leader should come from them. The thinking is slowly dying though.
In light of the above and with a historical perspective, bringing in Wetangula will not guarantee votes for the other side. Wetangula did not bring Luhyas into Cord, it was the other way around and the votes for ODM/ CORD have been growing organically over the last one or two elections. It could be a hard nut to crack.
What I can factually state is that Wetangula and co have increased voter civic education drives in the region. They have even bought motorcycles and boda bodas for aides to go into the villages convincing people to register etc. The next elections may bring a surprise with Luhya votes.
I am also aware that both TNA and URP factions have separately been approaching wetangula for a tete a tete. But his close associates and clansmen rule the roost. They advice otherwise. And we all know why I guess: take a look at recent history on electoral agreements, how have they turned out ?

Please refresh/reload. The essay has been tweaked, massaged and updated over the last few hours. --Oh? I missed the earlier version! would have been interesting to note the revisions! But anyway, sawa tu! I will tap my nose like thus:
O Nairobi! O Nairobi!
Imperial belief in own invincibility!
Of the arrogance of Picot and Sykes
Building a rail-track for history to follow!
O Nairobi O Nairobi!
A self-centred royal court
Rotting in its own bubble!
Cleopatra in the face of Rome!How did we explain the inauguration of the one-party state in Kenya: ---it was a dispensing with the superficial and zero differences between the same elite, and crystallising their general and true class objectives into one monopoly organisation: KANU. For maximum efficiency --of looting without pretence! From the petty-bourgeoisie, would-be corrective left-wing tendencies of the Jaramogi-led KPU, to the right-wing reactionary comprador dispensation of the Jomo Kenyatta wing, there was indeed no fundamental divergence of vision. Oginga Odinga never exposed a revolutionary consciousness, which could indicate he recognised the historical limitation of his KPU, just like the KANU he left, to cope with capitalist underdevelopment. How do we explain the multi-party re-emergence and revival to end Daniel arap Moi? ---Material conditions had evolved and changed such that, the cleavages in the general society so aggravated, could no longer be negotiated nor mediated at state level within one monolith, without a dastardly and bloodthirsty tyranny. There needed to be a new act, a new illusion to hoodwink the desperate and disillusioned sectors into loyalty, and thwart a search for more radical solutions. The general political crisis of this new ‘’new illusion’’, is what we are going through now with a seemingly endless political agitation at the top. The new illusion of multi-party democracy as a solution to the crisis of capitalist underdevelopment, is evidently wanting: PEV was the worst crisis of the new fictional reality. The second liberation is not resolving neither the intra- nor extra class antagonisms as projected. NB: The new constitution may just have run its course, and already is obsolete. Or, was it so mutilated by the GCG that it is now a motley assembly of Frankeinstenian monstrosity? Willy Mutunga, like Githu Muigai, mere MORTICIANS OF A KIND!  i think the ruling elite learnt a lesson. Hang together or hang separately. Leaving one wing out in the cold, ati because they lost elections, -elections whose conduct are always obviously malfunctional-, is an inbuilt instability process, regardless of the haughty claims of spin-doctors to ''majoritarian'' legitimacy, aka tyranny of numbers. So it is plausible, that Raila Odinga threatening rallies, is using the mass mobilisation as a blackmail instrument to call the bluff of Uhuru Kenyatta who, after a make-believe heroic start in self confidence, is realising he is a giant on a pedestal of quick sands. But I do not think they are deliberately cooking up a parley, as a pre-meditated political master stroke. It is species instinct of survival, desperate, mediated by class characteristics. People are bought and sold within this elite. They have no beliefs nor principles nor visions they can stand up for and pay the price of exclusion from (tenders and state benefits for instance) for. But Raila would be politically bankrupt to fire up the crowd to take on Jubilee, only to turn around and fish out the old tired artefact: kapareshen! The farce of historical repetition of sets right there! ----But given this is the Raila of the rigged ODM primaries 2013, and the Men in Black disruption at KasaraN, his political senility really is not in doubt. As for Uhuru Kenyatta, I am not convinced he is his own man yet. I think he owes debts to those who made him president ---those who rigged him in, and those who are protecting him from the ICC by eliminating witnesses for instance. That is why still, no civilian in government has an idea of what security tenders goes. When ordered to pay they pay. Harvard Kennedy grade or not, the cabinet secretary pays without a question. But no worries. From what I have gathered, Kenya’s credit ratings are good, because she has been slotted as a major energy producer soon ==that should be oil and gas I think. These are being leveraged, for instance against Chinese loans, and I gather this energy sector is where carrots Jubilee is holding toward CORD, comes from. And the projected growth rate figures are high. This is Africa rising after all you know!But .. The Wetangula law firm of old: was that the one involved in swindling the Turkana’s off their oil blocks, No? And does Raila’s business portfolio include oil interests? BAD JOKE:NB: In this scenario, Oloo, William Ruto is earmarked for a double martyrdom, eeh!? First the myth went, he helped Raila beat Kibaki, having felled Moi in Kalenjin Land, and then once in government, Raila ICC-d him. Selling this narrative to the Kalenjin, he shut Agwambo off and delivered the Kalenjin to Uhuru Kenyatta. Now a year later, the same Uhuru Kenyatta ---whose people were the real fixers of Ruto at the ICC, safely in power, is to turn around and shunt William Ruto in the rear!Ah-Ah! That would be a mismanagement of Kalenjin nationalism that, in my opinion, even if Ruto were nothing but a paid political hawker of the Kalenjin vote block to highest bidder, would still be equivalent to dwong’o kombekombe ndemu to ok iting’o agulu mar nyuka mapopni e wiyi. ---charming a blackmamba by slapping its hooded jaws!  I want to say something about the political economy of Jimmy Wanjigi, but I have run late. |

UHURUTO FIGHTS BACK! ---Dialogue, what dialogue!? And what for, really? www.nation.co.ke/news/politics/Raila-rejects-Uhurus-tea-Ruto-fights-back/-/1064/2338898/-/76xrbm/-/index.html This is the correct formal position! There are in deed in existence, protocol and institutions for dialogue, or should we say ritualised combat, where the government and the opposition can engage in their theatrical fireworks to entertain the mass and nothing else. But, O yes, But! .... But just like in the real economy, the econometrist who does NOT factor in the BLACK MARKET into his figures or model, is a joke. Such innocent-by-the-book-virgins, are the kinds of weirdos who have to do a statistical or econometric rebase after a while, to catch up with reality and correct their figures by 100%, like we recently saw in the Nigeria GDP re-calculation. (Ivy-league professors who wanted to head the World Bank apparently had no idea for years, as simple ministers of finance, what exactly they were running in their empire of oily corruption! And so I say for a political observers, the political black market is even more important than the official and apparent. The official apparent, is theater, a stage-managed and concocted reality one believes at his own idiocy. So, I submit, to understand this DIALOGUE thing, or cup of tea invite, a look at the underworld of Kenyan politics will give a better insight than official pronouncements by a two-timing thieving politocracy.1. We all know our Honourable  parliamentarians are for sale. They are Mpigs in a bribery market! Parliament therefore has no meaning, other than to auction something! Jimmy Wanjigi with his latest Anglo-Leasing credit, courtesy of his drinking buddy Uhuru Kenyatta, can buy all the MPigs and give them the opinion to express. For or against Ruto, or, for or against Waiguru! That is what I mean. Like any wh-ore, the opinion of parliament on any given day, is the opinion of the paymaster that day whose bed they tend. 2. NO LONGER AT EASE. ---Siamese twins and the coefficients of growth! A surgeon's headache!  The Uhuruto double act, in the beginning a well-going syncronised Siamese twins show because of the shared ICC bottleneck or millstone of a shared heart, is no longer a showcase in spectacular, spell-binding choreography! O Nay, yawa, the thrilling days of identical red ties and red sox; the pantomime days of pink condoms for an equally dressed up in pink lingerie pair of first ladies (of the republic or wives of state), have parted ways and in between nestled a monstrous buffer called Anne Waiguru. And she is expanding, if you ask me that is! NB: Our Queen Anna! She can fire anybody with an SMS without much legal ado, but she can not effect a pay cut ordered –in situ-- by the Union Boss Uhuruto, such that months later we read this: And of course Ruto has been having some domestics, leading Uhuru to reprimand him thus at the airport: ‘’bibi asimangemange!’’ –This veiled threat meant: ‘’keep the Kalenjin vote in Jubilee, or else …. I wont hand over the baton to you!’’3. Jakoyo Midiwo recently, finally, confessed the long-known. He said: Many ODM Mps did not win the nominations, though they managed genuine certificates, and sailed through on party euphoria. A close look at this statement, means such Mpigs can not be relied on to push the opposition agenda. Because they are fake peoples representatives. 4. Officially, Raila Odinga was defeated last elections, free and fair and square we say. But in the political black market, there is another narrative, and not implausible. The polarised emotion between those two poles perpetually incite a permanent siege mentality on the national politics. Literally hijacks all other agendas. Ever since Raila returned from his USA sojourn, it is like he has been the only agenda for the top and lower jubilee leadership. That is no way to treat a defeated, old analogue opponent. That, is dread fear. That is to be politically terrified. And the people see and know. 5. The government itself is not helping its case any further. It comes across as impotent –for instance on the issue of the public wage-bill; it comes across as incompetent, for instance on the issue of insecurity; it comes across as ridiculously corrupt --- nearly every major expenditure is an agony of malfeasance: SGR, NHIF, Anglo-Leasing, Central Bank Tenders, single-sourced Safaricom security tender, Judiciary and JSC scamming, Fake title deeds issued by the president himself at the coast …. Ad infinitum! So the much hyped digital generation in power looks like some tattered worst-case analogue regime! (complete with KANU-style roadside Presidential decrees and ad-hoc Police bans on political rallies of the opposition!) Vision 2030? kind of widowed me says! So, in the reality of such a political black market as I sketch, the official institutions become what they were, in the bad old  days: You see, it is not that Parliament, nor the Judiciary, nor the House committees, nor the Minsterial get togethers, nor the other lofty trappings of modern states, did not EXIST IN THE KANU days! O yeahh, they did exist, and elections too did exist and, by official reports, all very fair and square and legit! But, for instance, - 2nd liberation mythology has it Parliament was a sycophantic rubber-stamp! So the formal position, proclaiming the existent of ESTABLISHED INSTITUTIONS, does not really mean much, when subjected to even a cursory glance by a mild but keen observer. And we have not yet even factored in the politics of 1. general cross CLASS SURVIVAL, and 2. regime (continuity) contingency should Ruto’s goose is cooked at the Hague! 3. external machinations and manipulations of a weak and corrupt political elite. Flux Flux! the politics of Kenya will be played on all arenas simultaneously! The times are fluid. A mating dance in progress! |

There seems to be a unanimity in the pro-jubilee wing of the republic, that the ESTABLISHED INSTITUTIONS –as they are ubiquitously referred to in the media these days, are functionally adequate to cope with the so-called dialogue agenda pitched by the CORD luminaries in their recent entertain the people extravaganza. William Ruto is the latest high-level convert to parrot this position in public. I have already discussed this position above. So all I need do is add a footnote:LET US TRY TO GRADE A FEW INSTITUTIONS WE KNOW OF, from the top of our heads. The top of our heads, for your information, is the frontal lobe where complicated stuff is processed. So, a speed test.  1. AG’s office: that is the mortician fella! Yes, the Nigerian Judge at the Hague reduced him to a lay goat ---see Otishotish; Uhuru Kenyatta admitted he gave him stupid advice; and he has been neutral when the courts tried to bind the hands of DPP’s office of Tobiko, in some corruption cases. 2.JSC: That is the flag post of the new reformed Judiciary. Now, see Gladys Shollei stammering before that commission in Parliament! It is a den of thieves, scammers and associated trash. And the CJ’s I will shut up about for a change! I banged him enough. 3. National Intelligence: these are the guys who were sleeping when Westgate Mall attraction was coming to Kenya. Islamic clerics are dropping dead left and right and intelligence has no clue, or if they have, they consider it non-essential information to moderate the cabinet secretary for internal affairs with. They are also in the thick of the opaque security tenders, leading to the deductible, that they know more about Anglo-leasing than the President. 4.The Army: these are good guys when they are on your side. Killing Somalis for you across. However, when they are deployed at home, they mutate into Lootenants, and also, tend to usurp the powers of the CID’s, such that they interrogate wives and daughters in a very intimate fashion. Because the treasury tends to be late with military bonuses if any, ordinary soldiers take their bonus direct from the citizens, and from female kind, in kind. But the real Lootenants are of course the Top Brass who enforced the security clause in military contracts, which means even the finance minister is in their pocket. 5. The Kenya Police: they were recently voted, in a national survey, the most corrupt institution in the republic. I do not think this is the case, I think it is merely because they are -- utumushi kwa wote-- highly visible, and no longer hide the outstretched hand for the ksh. 100s they expect from you and I to buy the family dinner with that evening. They are HONEST in their corruption!  6. The anti-corruption body. I can not even remember its official name! KA--- ?? 7. Salaries and remunerations commission (Sarah Serem’s body). Was immediately shown her place by the MPIgs in the salaries war, and has become irrelevant to the debate on the public wage-bill for instance. 8. IEBC: well, Hassan got medals in England for his performance. The Malawians marvelled and tried to top him up. Excellent. –by rising African standards! By old analogue standards: the age-old rigging game. 9. Jubilee cabinet: There is no cabinet --(see Rihana dress). That is why Uhuru has kept to ordering and directing this and that to do this and that. And this and that has done this and that, and taken his or her commission of course. There is no clear structure. So confusion reigns. That is a quick run: If I sit down to it, I definitely will do better. Now we should do a quick run of the dysfunctional –institute of the loyal-- opposition, and easily deduce why a dysfunctional government opposed by a dysfunctional opposition does not make for ESTABLISHED INSTITUTIONS in reality. These institutions are charades! But politics is entertainment too, and we need not always spoil the fun of pretence, which can be ones role in the cast. To pretend srikali iko imara, na Kenya nchi yetu hakuna matata. Do not worry, lala salama.I enjoy charades: If the Tyrant Oloo would not expel me, I would post here a photo of Rihana stealing the show at the fashion awards this week. She was wearing … ehm… she was wearing … an invisible outfit. But she was not naked. I was just blind that is all.  The Kenyan political class is my Rihana at the fashion awards. I have to close my eyes to see them through, because if I were to open my eyes, sinful thoughts would invade my dirty mind! --like, what wonderful necks they spot for the guillotine blade! He Digital Oloo, on an academic point, can I post nearly bare-assed Rihana embracing the pearl Lupita Nyong’o who also excelled? –Luo chauvinism has no bounds you know! Or at least you said so! I will be back! |

And now Mr. Kenyatta wades in, lending his voice, or is it his pen in this instance, to the chorus of ‘’dialogue yes, but through established institutions please!’’. www.nation.co.ke/oped/Opinion/open-to-dialogue-any-time-but-campaigns-must-be-deferred-/-/440808/2340828/-/poxoi5/-/index.html [8-6-14] Is it my ears? over active due to over exposure to rampant ahangla drumming by Ramogi knights? or why do I catch a strained tone in all this stating of the obvious? Here is Ruto the previous day, on the lecture circuit: mobile.nation.co.ke/news/Ruto-warns-Cord-over-mass-action-threat-/-/1950946/2339824/-/format/xhtml/-/15cxfo6z/-/index.html Why not the bravado of a few weeks ago of we are UBWOGABLE? Why not the confident dismissal of the planned sabasaba caravan: Kenyans rejected you! And you, Raila and Kalooser, will not even find a dead hen to listen to you along the way in your useless nyefnyef rallies? Oh why, O why the warnings, the dissuasion, the admonishments to please cool your heels until 2017 which is the next scheduled campaign season? Why not a defiant: you idle goons, you make noise out there to your fill, here we deliver to Kenyans, and come 2017, we kick your asses again? Why? O Why bother with the defeated, irrelevant and running around in disarray? Because the tensions raised will rock Jubilee and possibly split it irreparable. (The TNA/URP or Gikuyu/Kalenjin pact is already split but not fatally that is). Anyway, only last year, Raila was -- quoting URP big wigs like Aden Duale- a recognised nobody after loosing the election and getting marooned outside parliament. Now it would appear being out of parliament was a blessing in disguise, and he is setting to cash in ... raising rubble outside the established institutions! Therefore those inside those institutions suffer a bout of insecurity, nervous at their own weaknesses which they know best. Sitting at the banquet table with the boos of an angry crowd outside does interfere with ones appetite. One rises from the table to go and take a look, find out if he has to do some fire-brigade work, or whether it is some much ado about nothing one can comfortably ignore. Counterproductive to all! And that is what I call the species instinct of lets tone it down fellas, let us hang together, or we will hang separately. Yes, the prezzo has seen the writing on the wall, and is seeking to de-escalate. Of High expectations when unmet? Yap, thwarted dreams makes an angry generation. Peasant societies are stable or less volatile because their dreams are simple, their horizons narrow, their expectations less than provincial, their world fixed. But now here is a rising  Africa, with sons of fishermen no longer dreaming of owning some miserable boat and ending up contented with a dug-out canoe. Oh No, we want a high-speed train line from Mombasa to Kisumu ---like we are now used to between Paris and Toulouse every weekend on fornication trips.
