This KRA is not the Kenya Revenue Authority! This is a voice from Kenya which, remembering the dub poet Mtabaruka from Jamaica, you would prefer not to have heard, but will continue running in your mind, mind mind!
DO WE CONDUCT A PUBLIC AND MASS EXECUTION, PREFERABLY AT UHURU PARK, OF THE THE THIEVES RUNNING AND LOOTING KENYA?
Ngatia: Ngai!

MOB JUSTICE IN KENYA
Those of us who ply bus parks, matatu stages and markets for business, are accustomed to the zero tolerance once a thief is caught. Men, usually young men, are roasted alive daily for the theft of mobile phones worth ksh. 900, goats worth 3k, wallets containing ksh. 500, and these days, if found in another man's bed with his legal wife, a man's member and balls will be upprooted. ---Zero tolerance.
The thing is, this is a grassroots consciousness, with no political expression at the top of the land. What is happening now across the republic, is that this consciousness is seeping upwards. The mob is beginning to look upwards for entertainment, and the political and bureaucratic elite, the real thieves, are whetting appetites. --They better increase the salaries of the police! There is a beast out there, and it loves to burn thieves to death. More and more articulate Kenyans are pointing it toward the real deal, the real rapists of the land. It is a countdown to a rendesvous!

NO ONE KNOWS WHO IS THE THIEF! --1. THEY ALL GO SCOT FREE!It is a famous template in law. When the three murderers or robbers are caught but maintain their denials, acquittal looms. Or something like that. But you get the gist anyway even if I do to put it properly -The Prosecutor's dilemma. This is all fine, all things normal, when there is lots of room for stuff that goes under academic purposes. But Kenya is turning slowly, and it is a dangerous turn. As all these pantomime hearings were going on in air-conditioned rooms with the thieves in coached denials and all smooth in legalistics, outside was a haze of tear-gas jostling with angry shouts calling for the perpetrators to be jailed. --No, there were no calls for a FAIR TRIAL. Some Kenyans know their country that well. ( Refer: Former Rivers State governor Dr. Odili, and the Naija movie Permanent injunction. It has a local variant in a HINDU man called Paul. Originally he was Kamlesh Pattni, yes, of the Goldenberg scandal. the sordid pieces of scum Brother Paul bribed TO FACilitate the robber of the centry include the now rotting corpses 1. Kanyotu -the late MOI intelligence chief. May his sould rot in a thousand hells 2. Wilfred Koinange -former Permanent secretary in the finance Ministry (He He HE Joseph Kinyua the current PM can take us through that truckload of documents! 3. Eliphaz Riungu -former deputy governor of the CBK! I would do to thme what the crown did to Oliver Cromwell long after his death! It is important to recognise the level of bureaucratic cover needed to execute these heists. And don't Kenyans do! They have always done, the problem now, I think, is that folks are bored of lynching only petty thieves. They want to broaden the scope, to amuse themselves stoning to death some very very very very huge and fat thieves, big fish hitherto hurt-proof! NB: William Ruto, brilliant and ever alert man, recognised this immediately. That is why for the first time he came out to condemn mob justice! Mob justice for petty thieves is and has been historically as common in Kenya as the ordor of sh!t in a public toilet, but hitherto did sir William not find it worrisome enough to issue a condemnation. But now! his excellent survival instincts warn him the smile on the beast's face is a mask of metamorphosis. It is becoming a snarl, at him! The guilty are afraid. NO ONE KNOWS WHO IS THE THIEF: 2. KILL THEM ALL?Now, here is an intimation of how powerful these people are. We will be guided by Anne Waiguru. Queen Anne, the former most powerful cabinet minister, would you believe, is a peace of cake they munch and spit on the sidewalk (-spit, like Somali miraa addicts ever carelessly do!) In fact Waiguru hopes Nicolas Gumbo's PAC finds out, for the nation, who these all powerful puppet masters are. She, their top victim, has no idea, or has, but is scare sh!tless to say. Mark you that is an alleged former double of the first lady speaking! She is, believe it or not, as powerless as the nearest illiterate Wanjiku; she is as victimised as the helpless IDP lady who lost her baby when the police and thugs came to clear them from the parliament last night. Ati the buses zoomed off leaving them stranded! (message: they should have died during PEV!) Anyway, to continue with the sorrows of my Anna, who would dare disbelieve her!? The commander in chief himself, if you thought he packs a punch, you saw yourself deliver his official surrender during his corruption summit at state house. Not to mention how publicly he deserted her by denying her. ( Kibaki did disown the Othaya activist I know, under duress, but only to reward her with the heaviest and longest escort motorcade in town! He drove Lucy into the mental assylum with that revenge, the Othaya cheek!)Anne is so lonely something drastic has to happen. And it is in the offing! Cleopa Mailu first declared the audit report merely preliminary. Now he agrees 3bn was lost. It means the istuation has already short-circuited his minds. He is got reason to fear. Once a mob decides on a kill, innocence is no defence!

Ati what? Journalists tear gassed by police, attacked by hired goons in Nairobi protest Photos: Police, goons turn on journalists in Mafya House protests Nov. 03, 2016, www.the-star.co.ke/news/2016/11/03/photos-police-goons-turn-on-journalists-in-mafya-house-protests_c1449471 Goons also helped evict the Uganda IDP-returnees from Parliament environs! This development where the regular police is relying on GOONS to help do their dirty work, needs an in-depth! But I prefer to start with a revision of classical literature on the 'mentality' of the lumpem proletariat! --Guns for hire of no morals! Anybody can use the goons for anything. These same goons used by Nkaissery to break the jaws of journalists and IDPS, are the same ones which will be used by Anti-Nkaissery to stitch him up! He who thinks he is the goon-master, needs a rethink! It is a government of goons by the goons for the goons, protected by goons! A very goonish state!

RUTO AND THE CHANGING WEATHERpart one. BONIFACE MWANGIIt is a pity, even robust bureaucrats like the reputable Matiang'i no longer expect pupils to have heard of the god Wole Soyinka in form one. Obviously, such deity worship is bad for young minds, remembering how KANU mediocrity purged Ngugi wa Thiong'o from the syllabus. Heathen! Kyalo Makisi! fumed gigantic morons like Kariuki Chotara. To have heard of Wole in Primary school would entail the Abridged, adapted series, the ones we used to call foreplay, since the full thrusts would come later, by the time form three arrived. That would be when the throttle would be at full torrent, and the political enterprise in Africa would be crystal clear to the emerging adolescents. ( see footnote)This one caught my eye. The KILUKUMI submission on the rebound. Because it was Boniface Mwangi who first submitted in court, verbatim, through his lawyers Gitobu Imanyara and associates, that DP William Ruto has no reputation worth a charge of defamation, nor its oral counterpart, Libel. www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2000222746/dp-ruto-challenges-activist-mwangi-to-prove-graft-claims What do we have here? A comedy show? Variant parody!? This war of words before the both courts ---of public opinion and constituted benches; these claim and counter claims between the two protagonists via their learned friends, me thought, started to have the undertones of a melodrama with strands toward a tragi-comedy. So I searched the African Library for proofed renditions. Those are the editions brewed tot the stiffest. No laughs apart from the sadistic eeries, failed humour by psychopaths in glee. We will soon see what I mean. But first: on the sides of this happening is of course Madam Anna Waiguru who, in a public spat with William Ruto, has advised the DP to record a statement, or, even better, come on to clear the dirt off his associates, lest it stick on him. These minions of his are in reception of the NYS stolen loot. Their names are Kibet F. and Kipchumba M. There --of course--- need not be fire where there is smoke, nor need there be guilt by association. But as Anne Waiguru was once the first among equals amongst the Jubilee cabinet of midgets, while William Ruto is DP in the co-president of the Great Graftland Kenya, one would surmise they gotta to know what they are talking about when they accuse each other of long, oily fingers, But that is a by the way. It was Kilokumu trashing Boniface Mwangi which hit a bull's eye, exploded in my subconscious. I will call it a Moby Dick situation. Harpoon! BONIFACE MWANGI VERSUS WILLIAM RUTO IS A PROXY WAR!Proxy!? Now lets dive with Moby to Hell. To the depths of hell. THE LAND OF SEASON OF ANOMYWhat I want to do is have an sky-bird's view of Ruto versus Mwangi through -- OtishOtish ere-- the beans and beads spread by WOLE SOYINKA on his goatskin. That goatskin is called a season of anomy. Thereto, reading, will I offer a possible interpretation. Soyinka is a rattlesnake, and divining the mind of a rattlesnake apart from its natural predisposition can easily be a fool's endeavour, even if the adrenaline discharge is addictive. Ruto is a representative of the Mining Cartel on the up. He is ambitious and primed to be CEO. He is an upstart but, a highly ruthless warrior, his private collection of skulls boasts the mangled head of the founder of the Moi dynasty; the dispatched skull spotting the kicked-in-teeth of the hope of the Odinga dynasty; the impotent talking head of one Musalia Mudavadi, another dynast; and he has the Kenyatta dynasty by the balls. No one doubts his tenacity, his drive and instincts for power, nor his voracious appetite for loot. In deed it is the pathological greed which awarded him the nickname Hustler Singh; nor does any doubt his cold-blooded wield of the sword.He is a kind of REPUBLICAN monster then, which makes him the perfect candidate to steer the Mining corporation. There is, nevertheless, the underhand risk of collapsing the almighty corporation: bad debts. And this debt pathology is also a variable of The Hustler's expansive greed for power, for the corporation needs money to ever expand and bribe or, like a fish which stops swimming, sink like a stone to the bottom. This recklessness which borders on economic illiteracy means the banking sector eyes his rise with some trepidation, but when the chips are down, they will go with him. The corporations top banker, a doctoral named Patrick Njoroge, was summoned by Ruto to his lair. Patrick took one look at William's smile and his wits evaporated. Also, so fierce is Ruto's r reputation that one of the brilliant stars of the opposition, General Ababu Namwamba, lost his nerve and surrendered in advance with the famous words: 'I can't beat you, so I join you! But let me perform a circumlocution to confuse my troops!' And so the new uniform in a decoy move. I tell you the comprador class is a planaria worm with the whole genotype unravelled! The first generation of post-colonial interpreters did not sleep on the job, HOORAH! so. The Mining corporation is a barbaric and parasitic predator. But it is an organism at the top of the post-colonial food chain. It is cruel and powerful, some departments seedy and secretive; it is a modern organisation which has taken occupation of the land in toto ---we assume Soyinka meant his homeland Nigeria, but, given the nature of contemporary governments and political parties, any land anywhere in the planet fits the bill. The All worlds monopoly corporation employs clever men, ruthless sadists, a professional class of bureaucrats and specialist technocrats at every nook and pivot; it awards power, confers influence, avails careers galore for all, the young, the greedy and ready to be corrupted. And there is no shortage of these. Too, under special bonuses, it procures exquisite meat for cannibals, both literally and figuratively speaking. Her chosen ones can act with impunity, and when it comes to violence, they often do, at a scale and intensity which has been the 20th century signature. At the corporation's apex is a Trinity of Evil. (Army, Church and Money? Tom Dick and Harry? Stupidity, Ignorance and Superstition?)This is Soyinka mark you, a reading of The Great Wole, so one need must ransack his mind to feverish pitch, looking for the missed turn in the maze and haze of meanings. Added to the fact that he is a poet and a dramatist, Soyinka is like an angry bee-hive you want to cover yourself well around. I am game. The Mining cartel is a kind of modernising agent, an economics of scale, yet in its profitable business -- Mining oil and petrol, this corporation lays the land waste. Soon the land of the season of anomy would be inhabitable --a bit like the Niger delta now. But the book was written before the oil boom and the pipe bursts which have now rendered the Ken Sarowiwa delta an environmental holocaust zone. But naturally, howebeit, not everybody can succumb to the organisation's power, nay, however ubiquitous and of divine quality be the rage it can manage to visit upon dissidents, courageous pockets rise, get beat, mutate and regerminate legends. This is where stuff like your Boniface Mwangi's come in.
' a rabble-rouser camouflaged as a public-spirited individual...' Ha! Kilokumi! In the corporation's legal suits against Aiyero like activists, which characterisations do they issue!? KILOKUMI's characterisation of Mwangi ticked my memory to fictitious Aiyero. There is a crisis as the community faces positive extinction by the acts of The Kartel. What to do? How to resist? -this has an echo of the Leninist siren: what is to be done. But it is not the task of art to provide you with answers. That is for tailors with their Utopian ready mades
(that is revolutionaries for you!) The society comes up with quite a colourful array of responses. Including notorious clinicians like The Dentist.Howbeit lesser mortals do lesser stuff! Like complain loudly. These lesser stuff are what (state house 'pokeman') Munyori Buku once dubbed the politics of serial defeat. This was in his dismissal of what he saw as the futility of John Githong'os dissent; however, when these lesser stuff reach a certain threshold, they do form an avalanche that sweeps away the rotten overgrowth. The power savvy corporation is only too aware of this risk. And they clinically do respond, extra kind. Therefore. The battle between Mwangi and Ruto, when I read Kilokumi's rebound, became a parable from a season of anomy, a dangerous horoscope by the devil star, Wole Soyinka.I am much indulged. FOOTNOTE: Any incumbent political party in contemporary Africa -ANC, MPLA, CCM, JUBILEE, NRM, are just variations of the theme, the theme of the Mining corp laying waste the land of season of anomy. That is why I love the Kenyan refrain MTA DO? (in the face of impunity). It challenges the fates to, forget about tailors and their ready-made ill-fits, deliver an iron straight jacket, smith like! NB:Continued.

CANDIDATE NGATIA AS THE SIEGE OF TROYNow this will be a tricky sail. But let me start with a parable: I will dub it the tonal deafness of Linus KaiKai. Assuming he is of free will of course for such an initiative as I have in mind. Putting candidates on the spot. Who is Linus Kaikai?I could be mistaken in the detail ---since I am running from memory due to time constraints, but during the so-called historic presidential debates in the run to 2013 elections, TV-journalist Linus is the Kaikai who had the honour to break virgin ground. He had all these applicants before him, and in a marathon oral, he schoolmastered them with pestering questions, stuff like Is Migingo in Kenya? will you be touchy-feely with Wanjiku, or are your tender feelings restricted to the other one, payment vouchers? We watched the hyenas in their Sunday bests turn grave, we watched the wolves neatly camouflaged in very close-knit suits of sheep-skin, growl and cringe. Mmm, we savoured the moment for the archives, when they put on their sexiest smiles over their cannibal fangs! Julie Gichuru would next fail to rise to the heights of Linus, giving TV bimbos an even badder name. In any case TV bimbos are there to be seen, not heard. But that is another story. SATIRE SERVES IT IN LAPABLE DOSES Humour the sweet coat on the bitter core Justice is blind like the hole of used up wh-ore! Depicting Kenyan ruling men as crocodiles, vultures, hyenas and other scavengers of no morals is now an established national trait in art. There is even a pathological portrayal where the elite milk then fcuck the Kenyan milk-cow to death. It is a joke, of course it is, but not when you read the statistics of infant, maternity and other related mortality rates, skyrocketing in the selfsame land of a 5 billion shillings theft, yeah, all of it at the ministry of health! The joke is light, Mafya House, but dark and deep, Duterte time. So deep and dark the thick-skinned Kenyans register a shudder. (The Kenyatta family is the richest in the land, and one of the richest in Africa and beyond. But we gather they are registered as DISABLED and thus entitled to affirmative action at Mafya house and beyond!? ain that funny and dark, even for hard-nosed Kenya?That is how a joker like Trump so easily called Hilary's bluff. I will put her in jail where she belongs folks. Part of the nation cringed, part of the nation cheered. You take your pick, it is a dangerous world out there. Let us enjoy our jokes when we still can! And spot the difference in the duo-poly. In that ground-breaking debate, the line-up was full, far and wide. And even if male dominated, it gave an idea of diversity. It is this diversity I want to challenge, and declare a disguised homogeneity. An obvious case to make! It was actually a consensus wearing the mask of difference. It would be a historical escalation of the worst tendencies under the GCG. Implementing devolution would be a cash splash. Again the library of humour makes no bones about it. Such a free for all, strange labour Unions arose to fight for a place at the table. And it would be devolved to a county near you --(a status symbol, social phenomenon or flower nicknamed 'sponcy', has mushroomed in the wake of the administrative rot!) It is healthy we can laugh at ourselves thus, however tragic. Facing reality raw is a good starting point toward a healing process. And some say we get the parliament we deserve, we vote But there is dissent THE DEBATESo inclusive had the organisers tried to make it, and so diverse it became, such that it was pointed out See there, even the comedian Dida had his day on debate podium. If African women are the subjects of routine abuse in the oil-rich Kingdoms of the gulf, agents who traffic them there are forms of pimps. Linus Kaikai wanted a full class. No body would ever accuse him of exclusion. Having established this keen instinct and ear in the journalist Linus Kaikai ---Oh? TV presenters are the last line of puppets in the decision-making chain handed down from corporate media moguls with an own agenda!?----- I haven't failed to notice his --sudden tonal deafness--- total lack of interest in CANDIDATE NGATIA. Who is candidate Ngatia?He is not techpresident.com/files/Mohammed Dida class clown.jpg[/img] Neither is he here He is the siren, the one some block their ears not to hear. But one has to make an effort not to hear him. In an illustration of modern differentiation of content generation and dispersal, the Kenyan social media have been very,very different from the established media houses. And, too, mainstream office punditry has been very different from the hot world out there on the street. Kind of. This disconnect between The Farm and The House is nothing new. Let us take a look at as a necessary institutional deafness. At its extreme, divinldivinely deluded and supremely elitist, we just saw it on the world stage, paraded by the empire at home. The USA seems to have suffered the greatest modern shock of an institutional domestic bubble-burst of elite punditry. Trump insisted Hilary was rotten, the establishment was adamant she wasn't even damaged goods. Some people couldn't tell the difference, they split half-way, Clinton won more votes, Trump more delegates. As soon as the candidature of KRA's Ngatia became a social media rage (these days we say gone viral), I thought it would be a fine test of the alertness of the OFFICIAL national inquisitor, Linus Kaikai, if perchance he were minded to dust up his notebook and pencil and go auditions, if perchance he could convince his paymasters there is a viewer's story worth here. With Kenyans calling for a Duterte, thumbing up Pombe Magafuli, agreeing corruption must be slain one way or another, a voice like that of Ngatia makes the bar. The Linus Kaikai bar, meseems. Once upon a time, you see, the great Chinua Achebe was passing by an African department of literature. The then young impressionable minds like mine trucked 200km to attend. Rumours had it the ailing man could be making his last African tour before joining the ancestors. Those of us aiming to be teachers could later, holding court under fig trees before an audience of impressionable pupils, relish the day they saw the tongue of a god move! ---Things fall apart, the center can not hold, the falconer can not bear the falcon, etc etc You see there is a world out there in Africa where no one laughs when you refer to the likes of Achebe, Soyinka, Ngugi, or Okot, as 'Our God Speak'. The interpreters of our world, Oracles we consult more often than a Muslim beseeches Allah in a five-minute prayer! No, not all of us worship thieving Muthamaki's, long-fingered Singhs, nor those things which fill airwaves. Achebe told us about the absence he had noticed in the cannonic literatures over his people. They were a subject but never heard, and if heard, only token and caricaturally represented. He was not impressed. He set out to impress himself and redress the situation some. The result was THINGS FALL APART, the legend. But critics were none too impressed. Where was the darkness in this depiction of the heart of darkness?In similar fashion have I noticed an absense of the rage, the rage at corruption felt and expressed by Wanjiku and co. This rage is wholly absent from the cannonic programs of the establishment political parties. And the parliament we voted for in our wisdom? does it articulate this disgust, this anger at theft which turns pickpockets into smouldering heaps? This official, elitary prograprogrammatic failure to recognise an abviousness by the people, is what has warned me into broadening the range of the searchlight. And Bingo there was Candidate Ngatia. You hang chicken thieves, you hang Eurobond thieves. You burn pickpockets, you burn NYS heisters. You hang goat thieves, you hang Mafya house plunderers. It is chilling but an effective pill. Kaikai asked: Is Migingo in Kenya? Kaikai can ask: Death sentence for Josephine Kabura?Meanwhile as the middle class enjoin in the tenderpreneural feast financed by massive debt and waste, like in this jovial take the voices which have a Cassandra twitch must be confined to the cellars. Cassandra, some will remember was a party pooper who, as the Trojans feasted away, mumbled some mumbo-jumbo stuff about swift ships which would change into wooden horses bearing gifts of smoke!Get that hallucinating girl to the cellars and stay her in chains, ordered the powers that were. I gather that is exactly what the powers that be would like to do to Candidate Ngatia. But the djini is out of the bottle. There is a political party whose candidate for president is saying openly, elect me and and see them swing, in broad daylight at Uhuru park. --Arap Moi, Mwai Kibaki, William Ruto, Uhuru Kenyatta, Anne Waiguru.Where is the Kenyan who has no idea why this thesis of executing eg Arap Moi is defensible in all courts? Now that we love to joke, here is a good one DEADLY FORCEThis detail Yaani, under a DUTERTE regime it could read Same action, same police force, different social bracket targeted! it can be done? No? Would that be a world upside down, or a case of rough justice standing upright at long last? POSTSCRIPT: Kaikai could ask his bosses to put him on a flight to Sweden, he is missing the biggest interview of his life. To report the future live! Wanjiku's heart is a sharpening guillotine. The mob out there is restive. DP Ruto's voice is increasingly strained defending the rape of Wanjiku. Parliament will never stomach a vote of no confidence. The political class is a Trojan Elite trapped in a fort of feast and orgies unspeakable. It has to be reformed from without. It is an open historical secret. An increasing number of citizens are figuring that out. Can Raila save the ruling cartel once more? (he has done it twice. 1. with the GCG and 2. with the devolution trick which spread the goodies far and wide, and diffused tension at the center!)The seedy Kenyan house is standing on a swamp of corruption. It is quite an engineering feat to save it. I bank on Raila to try his best to! That is his tragedy.

THE CONSENSUS COAGULATES, THE TOP MUST CHOOSE SIDESPeter Kenneth, Ababu Namwamba, in fact every other politician you might have heard of, is on the soapbox condemning corruption, demanding action, seething theatrical fury. Even William Ruto, the Hustler Singh, is broth with rage like a runaway captain Haddock. He is threatening with maximum consequences, the plethora of odd-toed, ungulate macrocephalic and baboonish philoxera of cannibals who loot the Kenyan state with impunity! William the Hero has identified Anne the Patsy Queen as the beast to be nailed! Omera koyo osedonjo malo koni. The message seems to have gotten through to the top, and they are wrestling with it in one form or another. If you do not join the bandwagon of condemning graft, you are yesterday's joke. And likely tomorrows burnt up body. Even the fence-sitter Peter Kenneth has been forced to the audacity of saying ' Wawekwe rumand, wasitoke! Ata kama kesi bado inaendelea kotini. Hakuka cha bail!'That is Peter Kenneth telling us openly he will put Kidero and Ruto in Kamiti and have them stay there while, their asses leaking with nightly visits of stiff rubbery tools, they try to bribe the members of the bench with their ill-gotten loot to set them free! I do not see any other reading of that Kenneeth pitch, knowing the man is running for Nairobi governor then President of Kenya. But the contradiction of his position is immediately revealed in his earlier endorsement of Uhuru Kenyatta! That is the guy whose materially over-endowed family fakes disability to enjoy positive discrimination. And naturally is impotent to fight corruption! Yes, These are all couched calls for Duterte, even from high up. It is a dangerous game of trying to ride the popular wave. But they form the counterfeit action of a political class seeking to wriggle their way out of a corner they have been pushed into, a grinning mob approaching. For no one doubts kitaumana juu ya uizi wa mali za kijamii nchini Kenya. The elite must turn om themselves for show of course, but will a comedy of outrage and fake combat suffice this time to sedate the rage of Kenyans, or must the elite draw one another's blood, sacrifice several of their own to cope? The Roman wolf pack is grinning, stalking, articulately barking purpose. THE ROLE OF THE INTELLIGENTSIA IN DEPOLITICISATIONEstablishment punditry aligned to the status-quo, and most are for their bread, must now come forward to depict the next elections in confusionist terms, as an ethnic clash of the tribal titans! This lazy, easy shot masquerading as realism, is the only way the current thieving oligarchy can retain power in toto across the board. It is Gikuyu versus Luos, Kalenjin versus Kambas, Mulembe rising and slashing around in a roguishly rowdy mishmash; and of course it is Muslims versus Christians! The real narrative, of a multinational looting corporation, multi-ethnic conglomerate of graft to be sent home, must now be subsumed by the intellectual wing of Graft incorporated. -That is divide and rule is their mercenary intellectual homework now. Actually institutional corruption rather than ethnic division has now replaced the top of the list as the greatest fear of Kenyans to implode Kenya! This significant factor hardly is aired in the traditional mass media, which is of course owned in part by current power moguls --or their business partners like The Aga Khan. The Berlusconi lesson has been learnt. These status-quoists have rarely any business acumen to point at to explain their wealth, but their proximity to the state all the more! But we are moving. One of the most interesting fronts to watch is the gubernatorial races. Many are likely to turn violent. There is a social consensus. Looters of the state must have their day with justice. The divergence of opinion is at, dead or alive.

POWER QUESTIONS AND THE KENNETH DILEMA
Can Peter K. put the lives and livelihood of the Gikuyu rural diaspora in the rift valley on the line, there to secure the presidency for the Agikuyu gentry and elite, and himself?
This question is important because, to be blunt, the Gikuyu diaspora in the RV are a hostage situation. Should the Gikuyu betray William Ruto by deserting him after Uhuru's Kenyatta's terms (or term), these hostages will pay the bill of the treachery perpetrated by their MK home front. And PEV will be child play.
This is our national secret and the key to the Jubilee pact. The contents of some pandora's boxes are pretty known.
There is a particular episode which, according to some, marks Paul Kagame out as man among men. There are several versions of what really happened, but this one is highly informative in the abstract, so I will choose it to illustrate the psychology of the burning ambition to power.
All intelligence indicated Rwanda was a primed bomb. The Plan was no secret. The Interahamwe were poised, extremist Hutu nationalism mobilised, and that most infamous radio station though not yet hysterical, was briefing, and dropping and revising open hints of what to be done should things go wrong.
Paul Kagame wanted out of the Arusha accords. They thwarted his purpose. What to be done? One of his aide de camps shrugged: Kill The Zero. The soon-to-be toughest man in Africa felt a chill up his spine. Not at the prospect of killing Juvenal Habyarmana, the head of state, no, if the RPF had killed her best soldier in an internal round of Shakespearean treachery, precedent Gaya Ruigyema, what was Juvenal Habyarmana? No, the chill was the instinctive knowledge, the mental visitation of recognition: Killing Habyarmana would be the trigger to The Plan. -The Final solution to the cockroach problem of Rwanda.
Could the RPF sacrifice the whole Tutsi population, held hostage in Rwanda by the blood lust Hutu extremism, so to quench its own historical power-thirst!?
Yes, in this version Paul Kagame rose to the challenge. He would rule Rwanda even if he were the last Tutsi left standing. Habyarmana came down, and how! Kagame rose to power, but the price! Wow!
With this kind of Africa Library running through my mind, I was looking at Peter Kenneth wrestling with his ambitions.
I am game: So, can Peter Kenneth go to William the Singh with the Ndung'u report in his hands, and declare: 'Should you ethnically cleanse the Gikuyu RV diaspora, Kenyatta and Kibaki have enough stolen public land at home to resettle them. Therefore, if the Agikuyu can only live in the Rift Valley on condition the House of Mumbi helps Kenya elect another Kalenjin Big thief like Moi, then I say no, you will do your worst, O William Singh. But I Peter Kenneth will have my people back! The great Kalenjin thieves are going to Kamiti, And that is me being kind for I have the Duterte option too. I am determined Uhuru Kenyatta should be the last thieving head of state! No more. Sorry William, you can not be president!'
Now, fellow countrymen, help me bear down on Peter Kenneth's purpose. Does he have the balls worth calling him a man, or is he, yes, the latest blanc Gikuyu nationalism is going to fire! --See Candidate Ngatia, on two types of Kikuyus.
But, Ndung'u report aside, Pete never heard of the Eurobond. At least that I have ever heard of. The Eurobond is much more recent. Ndung'u was before his birth so he could be excused. It is likely he is a case of the elite smashes the bigger babuska, to reveal another babuska, smaller. The game goes on, but the set of babuskas gets miniature, and the game is finite like the repertoire of a magician past his creative height. For the political class, the old trick is on its last legs. The roman crowd senses it, and they wait to go for the kill, to save the republic as they see it, even if but watering the seedling of dictatorship!
But if the next Prezzo is from the elite, I go with Ruto. --Blood debts!
NB: I have a domestic. Against Ruto, my wife will vote for Peter Kenneth, she has made that clear. Lucky us, neither our marriage nor financial fortunes depend on it. It is all academic!
For the moment.
NB: 2007/2008, the Gikuyu mafia in power against intelligence reports concluded sacrificing the Gikuyu diaspora in the rift was a small price to pay, given the reward of maintaining control of the state. And they have been proved right with succession passing from Kibaki to Muthamaki. (The alternative would have been a long wait: Raila to Mudavadi then to Ruto!)
That 2007 decision is called a precedent. That Peter Kenneth is to weak-minded to copy, does not mean Gikuyu nationalism is equally rubbery legged. The decision is so easy, it is a homerun unopposed!
Who is your daddy now!?
I need an alternative history of Kenya!

A RANDON PICTURE OF A REFERRAL HOSPITAL IN KENYA
We trust the administrator's word then, and treat it as a hoax! this incident did not happen. But I am still scared.
Earlier on, real life experience forced me to write the following, setting the stage for why, like my kinsman Obama in his failure to shut down the Guantanamo Nazi camp, I was gunning for killing dame Miranda, or in line with the Bus Park Justice for thieves, I would not mind the Kangaroo version for the likes of the vermin at Mafya House. (Or Jack Ranguma and Ruth Odinga who bear responsibility for the may be fake hospital murder committed above!)
I said my heart has grown cold and fierce, from the social work of organising burials for infants whose lives could be saved @<5K.
In my heart, there is no room for humour over the preventable deaths of the young. It makes my heart so cold I would volunteer to be a Aztec-priest-like executioner, using obsidian knives to rip out live, the hearts off those who stole 5bn from Mafya house, and more. I wish I were joking on this. Let the country catch up some time.

DISCLAIMER: this post was written to be enjoined to the thread: corruption Uhuru Kenyatta throws in the towel. But then Miguna Miguna threw in a spanner in the works. Him too, I caught abdicating his intellectual duty. In my classroom, I have a stern schoolmaster's role. When I catch briliant and intellectually endowed pupils taking french leave from their mental faculties -- Rotich of finance, Prof. Kaimenyi of land, formerly education; Njoroge of the CBK, I do haul out the cane and an old schoolmaster's rhyme: spare the rod, spoil the child! I will whip Miguna's as for good measure. --- idwanyri nade, nyathini! MIGUNA MIGUNA: 4:24 I will institute AN INDEPENDENT forensic audit of everyone! Identify all the fake contracts, all the corrupt government officers, all the cartels, Reposses all the loot, then present the report to the DPP! Hehe Hehe! John Githong'o. That is exactly what John Githong'o did. And look what happened to the (Kroll) report and him! --What happened to learning from the past!? With Miguna's brains, it is a catastrophe to repeat an old mistake. That is for sheep to do. Too thick to learn. This is also the one step the brilliant General Ababu Namwamba failed to plan and effect in his command and control tower, PAC. No surprises then, down with a thud did he intellectually implode, into a national farce, .... clown ....and joke Howbeit Miguna Miguna will, if elected the independent candidate he is, present his 'KROLL REPORT' to the DPP, Keriako TobikoFor what? if not for charlatan formality! (what did the price-winning administrator, then super cabinet minister, alleged presidential paramour and cut-throat tough girl Anne Waiguru do when she realised hers and other IFMIS passwords were stolen!?She did the right PROTOCOL thing. She motioned the DCI, the office of Ndegwa Muhoro! and Banking Fraud Unit's Joseph Mugwanja.And look where we are now. It was not even 700M stolen. Muhoro$Mugwanjat reported zero lost. But the figure is actually around ksh. 2 bilions. And Keriako Tobiko? he filed in a non prosecui! changed his mind, then changed it again, and again! Miguna, ng'ano mong'othi wiyi? momiyi inyiso pach rombo!? gima wiye ng'ich ok ti?Miguna, have you studied the composed insolence on the face of the hairdresser Josephine Kabura, hauled before the likes of Gumbo at PAC? Happily Jeff Koinange was not asleep! GOOOOOOOOAAAAAL! JK laughs that hearty affectation of his, his wits are with him on this, and his smile is crocodilic. It is an inspired, brilliant interjection, malicious and dangerous, nearly a trap: JFK: And if nothing is done once the file is taken to the DPP? As has been the fate of the many other files? Ha! nevertheless it is a bull's eye! where the thought has to be thinked, and the thinked thought!NB: Before I go the long way about it, here is the short of it from my favourite movies, NAIJA: This rendition from Baba Go-Slow's land prompted me to quip Right there, even for the intellectually astitute Miguna Miguna, this problematic blows his mind up. He proposes a trip down the same labyrinth where files get lost forever, even ones as big as Ndung'u, Waki, and TJRC! Josy Janyando, paka kichol, punda bende! Check candidate Ngatia jaduong'. You are still beating about the bush, ramming Tom Tom drums while the house burns! Peter Kenneth answer: The commission has detained hundreds of people in a yearlong investigation of tens of billions of dollars missing from the state treasury that has not produced any successful prosecutionsI think I have closed the case! Let us now go have some fun with socialite bimbos!doing Ojienda and his legal prowess, passing through the Pessaris altercation on JKL.

MIGUNA MIGUNA TAKES ON KIDERO, RAW.Prelude: BEYOND A LUO DOMESTIC, THE AGAWO PAPA LESSON As the anniversaries of the demise of famous Congolese musicians approach, I always have a date with one, Agawo Patrobas. Agawo Patty -popularly known as Papa--- is a Luoland Rhumbaland legend. He is an announcer, news-reader and disc-spinner at Royal Media's Luo national station, Ramogi Radio. Ramogi Radio has as slogan KAR CHUNY JALUO! (the heartbeat of the Luo). There are competitors in this -OD WADU, MA TO MARWA, GIRI GIRI, EARTH SHAKER, which are the slogans of Mayienga, Radio Nam Loluwe, and another one known as Victoria, not necessarily respectively. As the likes of Benga Maestro Okatch Biggy and ahangla supremos Odongo Mayaka and the brothers Nyadundo fashioned new beats and wrenched Luoland from addiction to Lingala soukous and Ok-Jazz-Afrisa super hitz, Agawo stuck to Lingala especially of the old school! I LOVE IT, he kept on shouting as he, unapologetically, remained the last addict to names like Sam Mangwana, Lokasa ya Dinero, Joe Mpiana, Olomide, not to mention bombasts like Verkys of Veve, Mombasa Vata of Lipua, or Lita Bembo of Stukadors. And when Madilu the System Bialu croons ambrosaic stuff like Ophelia and Si je savais Ca, Papa foams. As the VOK became a citadel of mediocrity and commercial stations arose, Agawo jumped ship and was recruited to Royal Media. He carried with him his love for great Congolese and Tanzanian music, and luckily his new bosses were perceptive enough to give him room for indulgence. It is a passion which would infect hundred thousands of listeners in the beginning, and as Ramogi radio picked on, hundreds of thousands would jump to millions. These days on Sundays as the noon begins, the Agawo Patrobas rhumba show is a national treasure raking in millions of listeners who love Lingala, especially the Old-School. His Luo vernacular audience is then an insignificant minority. He recently did a four-part sixteen hour instalment to commemorate the 20th anniversary of (Luambo Makiadi) Franco's death, and Ramogi Radio achieved pre-eminence far and beyond in the hearts of rhumba lovers. We learnt the second man to join Franco, somewhere in the late 50s, even before his brother Bavon of Maseke ya Meme, was a young shy talent called Lutumba Simarro. This fellow would go on to become Le Poete extraordinaire. The way the thin tall man was razing his guitar to attract passers-by to his mother's desperate food kiosk, ripped his sensitive heart, and the rough poetical gem in his heart surfaced. TP-OK jazz would be the workshop within which the shaping and polishing would occur, the light and heavy births be witnessed. -- Mabele, Ebale ya Zaire, Mbongo, Testament ya Bowule, Maandola, Maya, Radio Trottoir. An exacting and severe man, meaning a perfectionist in art, Lutumba would study the voices of singers and write songs that excelled them. This is the trick behind the terrifyingly perfect renditions of Youlou Mabiala in Radio Trottoir, or Sam Mangwana in anything simarro wrote. Lassa Carlito, hired specically to sing Maya, was soon driven to seek solace in gospel by the mad depths of the song. Simarro Massiya would never leave OK Jazz, unlike restless pigeons like Sam Mangwana, he would stay a one-band man, even past Franco's death. It is one of the most intense artistic relations seen anywhere. So deep did some of Simarro's songs dig in the emotional well of his land, the public declared him a monument. His peers call him Le Poete, the people call him Le Monumente National!Here is an acoustic version of the legendary Testament, delivered by a delicately young Malage de Lugendo. These things, Agawo Patrobas tells on Ramogi radio, the beating heart of a Luo, with tears in his voice. He does not do politics, he reads news with the dead-pan voice of a liturgy ritualist, and then he bursts open on Sundays when his rhumba show goes on. Agawo seeks our men/women who drive themselves to perfection in their professions. There are no such in politics. And thus his undisguisable disdain for the lot. Rotten scum. Even Afrodite the daughter of Zeus whose motionful hips are said to intoxicate men to fuming passion, wouldn't yank me off Agao's renditions; nor would a promised date with Helen of Troy, whose kiss is said to lift men to the clouds of high, tempt me to switch off Papa on Sundays.And this Sunday as in the past weeks, I am with Agawo Papa as I drum away on the keypads, reporting for Jukwaa as a mental correspondent of the stale ruling class of Kenya. Unlike Agawo, I am like a sewer worm whose fate is to enjoy tunneling through sh!t! --with passion! U copy!? Bas, let us ride! As my hero Papa would proclaim I LOVE IT! CONTINUED.

FILE: MIGUNA MIGUNA TAKES ON KIDERO, RAW 31:50: Kidero is a mere thief, a thing of no credibility whatsoever. He has presided over unprecedented looting at Nairobi. SUBSTANTIATION: Kiambaa, his former chief of FiNance stole 1.6 bn billion in 2 years, and his Chief of Staff Wainaina stole the size of Nrb. Both cases pending before the court. 9:00 Kidero bankrupted Mumias. 14:00 Ester is a flower girl, a social bimbo! A thief supporting a thief: (substantiation elsewhere on ADOBE LIGHT ACCOUNTS! Her claim to fame) But, here is the main: Kidero has an Odili-like ONGOING court injunction on naming him in, let alone within one sentence, the same paragraph with Mumias, sugar and looting! forensic audit or the abbreviation KPMG! Too, Ng'a momulo Kidero to ing'eyo omulo Ojienda.As an introduction, let me enjoin the ' socialite bimbo' controversy which has kept the nation's twitterati and social media junkies on their toes, their fingers limbering ceaseless on dial pads. This storm on Planet Screenland arose from events which happened on Jeff Koinange Live, when K24 hosted Nairobi gubernatorial aspirants, chiefly Miguna Miguna and Esther Pessaris. The rest thought the better of being served in choice cuts by the mercenary host Jeff, so to be forked by the burly Miguna. Janyando, like Abraham Lincoln in his debates, did not bother to wear the nicer variant of his double face if any. Most of us men have a nice face which we put on in the face of pant-jerkers like Esther, even if they are brothel madams specialising in trafficking infants for pedophiles. Miguna could not be bothered to indulge this male pillar of duplicity, he made out Pessaris for a high-class prostitute specialising in blackmail, finishing it off with a sarcastic chime: 'Ester is so beautiful everyone wants to rape her!'The world exploded! And that is something, given the world did not explode when Donald Trump promised to put Hilary Clinton in jail if he got elected! denouncing her live as a rotten, corrupt woman! Even the secretary for youth and gender, Sicily Kairuki she be --the snoring she-dog when the likes of Brayan Odhiambo and Namuye looted youth fund, has joined the FIDA fraternity frothing for the sacking of Jeff Koinange, and the banishment from the airwaves of Miguna Miguna, if not incarceration! They remind me of Marilene Albright for Hilary Clinton: 'there is a special place in hell for middle class women who do not come out in support Ester Pessaris!' But what caught my attention was Miguna's confident assertion that to fight corruption in Nairobi country he would start with Dr. Evans Kidero! And he had neither an apologetic blink in eye nor a hesitant cringe of tone as he made out Kidero for what he is. Bankrupter of Mumias Sugar and looter of Nairobi county.That is some clarity of thought, methinks. And like John Githong'o's and David Ndii's current refusal to pander to the parasitic, cannibalistic and predatory, primitively accumulative Gikuyu nationalism under Uhuru Kenyatta, Miguna Miguna's clarity and articulation in denouncing the biggest Luo gun in the hierarchy of Kenyan state affairs is beyond the comprehension of comprador Luo nationalism.We keep this thought on hold for the moment. There is a saying in Luo Nyanza which goes like this: 'mano chunya, kimuloe to imuloa!' --Translated loosely it goes: So and So is my heart. Touch him or rub her the wrong way, it is me you got done!Now methinks, when you touch Kidero, it is Ojieda you got done. I started to notice this when the issue of Mumias Sugar legal fees came up; and later KPMG reports got gagged, and more and more. Now me honestly thinks Kidero and Ojienda are a double act. You know, like the presidency of Kenya is a kind of 'tweenish show' between Uhuru and Ruto. It is called Uhuruto, a dynamically conjoined kind of monster. And dynastic too. They hang together but loot apart, and lived together forever after. This is the conspiracy convulsing the land in monumental financial scandals. BUT EH! LAWYERS! A RENDEZVOUS WITH CONSIGLIERE TOM OJIENDA Let us take the latest case embroiling Prof. Tom Ojienda, JSC member. I read Smacked of ethnic bias!? O no Yawa! Persecution? Victimisation? Singularisation!? I ran immediately to my bibliography of Naija movies! I have developed a special nose for Nigerian lawyers defending the corrupt high and mighty, and the vastly rich. Some of their submissions are super spectacular. There was one defending a dollar bilionare ex General who, like the one defending the former first lady Jonathan, expanded the scope. He told the court the current republic is illegally constituted, as such, even the judiciary itself, let alone the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), had no mandate to question his client on anything, let alone anything they fictitiously believe could have belonged to the non-existent state of Nigeria! But, he smiled gravely, 'this court can do justice by dissolving both itself and the case against my client, and naturally, the illegal constitution which purports to support the persecution of the hardest working sons of the land, for corruption!' Even if you did not study law, you just got to pay attention! The heights to which lawyers rise within the rising Africa, could be upside down. That is the depths to which they sink, to earn keep, tying Mama Africa down for rape and plunder by her own sons, demands an old word: cleansing. --We will talk the eyes of Oedipus later, when they were opened, only to close forever in shame. NB: Verily do I remember how in the tribute to my one-time mentor, the late Dr. Adhu Awiti of Karachwonyo, I visited the comical scene in which the blind seer Teiresias of Thebes goes all coy, uncertain if the insistent King really has it in him to face the wrath of truth. TEIRESIAS: Seeing that men ever do deny the truth that fits them not, and much fatal can their anger at the messenger of such word be, what guarantees do blind men have, O King, when they reveal they see best! and for sooth doth speaketh yet to the sorrow of a mighty King!?--The truth is Oedipus is an incestuous pig, a moral degenerate whose seedy crime stuns both Mother Earth and Father Heaven. But he has no knowledge of it, yet. Anyway a rehash: this cocky Tom Ojienda is the Mumias Sugar injunction guy --the one who got court orders sealing the mouth of Khalwale. The doctor senator was --barred from publicly saying what he read in the KPMG audit report about Kidero -prohibited from ever waving the audit report in public, like in a political rally or church! Ojienda's injunctions are valid for for the easily intimidated lowlies like Boniface Khalwale, but Big Mig seems to say he is surrounded by a HALO, an impregnated net that lets angry and hungry mosquitoes like Ojienda humm uselessly on the outside with their corruptly-obtained rulings, leaving him unbeaten. It reminds me of Gitobu Imanyara versus Kilukumi in Boniface Mwangi versus William Ruto. In the battle of mirror mirror on the wall who is the sewer rat wafting obnoxious around the proud nose of the land, sorry, who is the knight of shining reputation, the two sides have sued the other claiming the same thing! 'Thy has no reputation worth the court's deliberation!' There is a legal technique I have seen in Nigeria but not yet in Kenya. It is when a lawyer recusses the whole bench by an irrefutable submission! I have seen Judges recuss themselves in Kenya yes, but some stuff from Ogaland is still exclusive. Ojienda is also the slick alec of the Dr. Susan Kidero Mboya accounts. He got an injunction against the EACC. No, no looking in. Susan Mboya was kind of feeling victimised, you know. Victimised. You see fellas, this is why HAIRDRESSERS, DRIVERS, COOKS and other domestic orderlies, these days, are dollar millionaires, or at least officially own multi-million profit companies! --Money gotta be laundered somehow! What a blessing the trails dies cold at the door to the bank accounts of the spouses! Victimisation! Persecution! Abuse human rights! Cries Hilary Clinton, cries Patience Jonathan, cries Anne Waiguru, cries Marine LePen, cries Nancy Baraza, cries Ester Pessaris, cries the Uhuru Kenyata sister and cousin outed at Mafya House, cries Susan Kidero, and, I put a wager, will cry the Macharia sponcy! And in their armani and channel dior fragranced gucci and prada design pouches they hide these Africa-killing mercenaries, these later-day colonel Hoares --of the dogs of war fame, these brilliant King lawyers, yes, they are trump cards doing an Oedipus on Jokasta. Not that they have the faintest idea. Ooyo da! The JSC, one recalls, is the scumbugs racket whose sitting allowance rip-off was studied by MCA's across the counties. It became the template for seated plunder of public resources. Ojienda is straight out of Naija movies. A legal capo. A consiglieri. Never has such a clever man been such a prostitute of his talents against the people! But never mind that for the moment. Let us visit Ojienda. See how he goes to work when he is in a corner. The long of the case goes thus Continued.

Right there, even for the intellectually astitute Miguna Miguna, this problematic blows his mind up.

You are still beating about the bush, ramming Tom Tom drums while the house burns!

Let us now go have some fun with socialite bimbos!doing Ojienda and his legal prowess, passing through the Pessaris altercation on JKL. DR ODILI AND THE KENYA KAMLESH PATTNI PARALLELDr. Odili and Naija movies at city neary you. Something about this case which makes it forensic. Here is an instalment. Check the dateline code. That was 2009. What news, 2016? Is Odili still among the living, enjoying his loot in peace? Or have the chains of justice caught up with him and he languishes forlorn in the dungeons of Nigeria?
Is the erstwhile governor of rivers state expired, Is the goodly doctor now a shell penned in the huge kraal of phantoms under Hades?Let us take a local look. As homework for Miguna Miguna and Peter Kenneth, them with boundless trust in the corridors of justice of the republic of Kenya. Is the following history, or daily reality today? We thank reporter John Kamau. You understand where candidate Ngatia is coming from? Not everybody is stupid enough to think such a judicial system is gonna help the country fight corruption. Miguna and Peter Kenneth are not stupid, so they are .... Lets us go talk socialite bimbos I say!

DISCLAIMER: PERMANENT INJUNCTIONS ARE TO INVITE PERMANENT RECUSALS Uhuh ummh, sorry, before we re-enter the very hot topic of socialite bimbos --rightfully the hottest topic in the world if you ask me, I have to register a thought which occurred to me in passing. This Boniface Mwangi versus William Ruto, verily meseems it is a business ripe for the mother of all recusals -- total recuse if you ask me! TOTAL RECUSE, CHAPTER SIX THE INTEGRITY CLAUSEFormer CJ Wily Mutunga left office with one of the most gaping failures of a generation of intellectuals. Dr. Wily, a mighty scholar among his peers, made it to CJ, the highest legal office in the land. This is the Solomon of Solomon's offices, chiefly charged with thinking out the constitution out, or at least the power to assemble the best --learned friend--- brains to do the necessary; yet this Canadian-weaned Kenyan left office without solving a particularly poignant judicial riddle: what does integrity mean in public office in Kenya, as far as the spirit of the dreaded chapter six is concerned, reference the 2010 promulgated masterpiece. 2010 promulgated bullsh!t I stand corrected. The ' integrity clause' Who else if not Wily Mutunga, to interpret its best meaning, the import or content nearest to the spirit of the said, so that, even if successive morally challenged parliaments and rotten presidents passed and signed all manner of amendment bills to submerge the integrity bomb, its loud tic-toc and relentless countdown would be a national siren, a deafening chilling chime. The nation would be too scared to go to sleep! Knowing openly it were a sinking ship, a doomed moral enterprise! I really find it infuriating, but Dr. Wily Mutunga's would-be motives, I find fascinating. I categorise it an intellectual dereliction of duty; I say dereliction to underscore my conviction it was DELIBERATE. What on earth could Mutunga's motives have been? -to facilitate by omission, this historical parley with the past which stole the thunder out of the second liberation? The trial of Wily Mutunga is a good play to write. Should he be hanged along with the bandit bourgeosie? Liberation is the restoration of historical identity or so -Amilcar Cabral. Correct historical identity will always disavow theft, will never reward, nor worship the greatest thieves in the land as we do in Kenya. Correct historical identity can easily define integrity!The kind of brains which boast a superior intellect yet, sollicited and paid to do so, will not define integrity, should not be spared the hangman's noose either!Then, too, a modern constitution which can not define integrity is a piece of sh!t. The scholars in whose custodianship that definition proves an intellectual impossibility, are puppet pretenders, a defect series to be disassembled. This is now adult talk, but not XX rated. Patience, soon we will talk socialite bimbos again, adult stuff with and lot of Xs ratings! But not yet! I have to finish Mutunga's prosecution and foolproof my demand for his head at the guillotine. Officially Mutunga has brains and his Phds are not fake, yet he let go a historical chance to be Socrates --I dont dare say Solomon! Solomon never drank the Fatal Hemlock rather than escape. The way Africa continues to deal us a hand demanding answers which elsewhere in the globe are ABC, means we must dig deep unto our souls. This is why we have to find out the true reason why a great son of our land, as mighty in the head as Wily Mutunga, proved impotent at his moment supreme. (A whiff of Sembene Ousmane there of the historical impossibility that the comprador consummate the dream of independence ever!) Unlocking Wily's state of mind will unlock for us the greatest closet of skeletons which, so long it stays spookily the invisible elephant in the courtrooms, will continue to make the republic judicially -or jurisprudentially schizophrenic.Innocent until proven guilty, yet the list of state extra judicial killings per year is longer than the pages of the constitution. No death sentence in Kenya, yet there is a shoot-to-kill police protocol. That is the kind of stuff I call judicial schizophrenia. I am discarding the option Wily Mutunga was either intimidated or bought off. Once I discard those two easy and open options, I am only left with THINK TIME! Remember Achebe's Nolonger at ease's complicated explanation of how it came to pass Obi Okonkwo stood there so witless, a 50 pound bribe!? Surely No! NB: Considering the performance of the super-educated Westerners, Africa we have a problem. Boko Haram. Here are some famous dereliction of duty from Kenya: --George Saitoti -a math genius turned thief in chief; ( CBK Ndegwa too) --Mwai Kibaki -The Othaya Genius of a life time in public service! howbeit Candidate Ngatia promises to hang him with a guitar wire! -- Finance Rotich and CBK Njoroge -- super talents presiding over a stupid public wage-bill-ratio atop a pathological waste of public funds through corruption! --- etc etc, These are derelictions of duty no less than Mutunga's. But Mutunga's is special because he is an avowed progressive and a scholar. Saitoti was ideologically a primitive retard. Kibaki a lazy, infantile narcissist. Rotich and Njoroge are bureaucratic eunuchs, cogs in a giant wheel. Theirs, in the words of an old poem, is to OBEY, DO AND DIE, and not ask WHY!Which is why Jaindi Kisero shouldn't have been too surprised here When one peruses the accounting abilities of the county governments, and the number of procurement law and other business-ethic codes they break, CBK Njoroge is like a penitentiary governor handing the keys to the female cells to guards of multiple rape convictions. Why does he do it? Because his is as that old soldier's poem says, to submit to his lords, obey die and not ask why. In other words these top bureaucrats are mentally dead, decomposed matter. Otherwise there would even be a slight inkling of professional pride visible at the top of the kleptocratic paradise. As it is, there is niente. That is how to explain Africa rising: 20% world population, 5% share of trade pie. this statistic maintained over 25 years! (Consider Deng hsia Ping with his 17% growth rates per year for 20 years!)A statistic outside the mental comprehension of the modern African elite. So they have to swing on guitar wires if they insist on making decisions. In effect I therefore have to be condescending and patronising toward these treasury lot, Rotich and Njoroge and Thugge. I judge them less harsh than I judge (the scholars) Wily Mutunga and Jacob Kaimenyi for instance. Though if you press me, Jacob Kaimenyi too is a lost case. He is fish that was fresh but now after a whole day closed in a container in the sun, animal feed. THE MUTUNGA COMPLEXHere is the other beef. So some judge in the Kenyan court will be expected to determine whether Boniface Mwangi or William Ruto has repute, or esteem of character which can be defamed, injured, damaged or lowered in such a way that monetary compensation or emotional (saying sorry) redress is necessary? A man of honour trashed by a son of a b!tch!? The SOB must say sorry, that hardest word! This is intriguing if one gives it a moment of thought. If the highest courts ---(ostensibly populated by no Tom arap Otieno, Dick ole Kamau and Harry bin Mutiso) --- of Kenya to date have not and can not define integrity, can some bored and yawning magistrate realy define esteem? Can any bench in the republic legally know what good name is? (such that they can measure Mwangi and Ruto and reach a credible verdict!?) I don't think so. I think what they can come up with is comedy and pantomime rulings!) (Thinking of the size of lunch The Singh can buy, I can just see the Judge working out the definition! -EUREKA! William Ruto is a shining star! And the hammer falls!) I can't define integrity yet I can define 'good repute'!? Yawa! --that is the Mutunga complex. Conundrum. Is the new CJ worth as hard a think as I bestow upon Dr. Willy Mutunga? I don't think so. I think he is the he is the do and die and not ask why type. We can always tackle him at the rates we do socialite bimbos! I ran out of time. Can not do bimbos today. The mouth of a bimbo can spew very obnoxious stuff. But if my memory serves me true, the mouth of a bimbo working in concert with the tongue of a bimbo can be intoxicating stuff on their own. The hottest subject in the world any day, I guarantee. Continued.

THE FORCES LIMBERING NEXT TO THE PLAYING FIELD Donald Rumsfeld at the height of his powers as defence secretary in the Dubya regime, used to talk about unknown knowns, known unknowns, unknowable unknowns, and more stuff like that. Some observers, especially veteran journalists of the middle east, grinned that the biggest known known which Rumsfeld kept on skirting around, was and is the fact that no known people on earth have ever liked foreign occupation, however benign and mild. The idea that Iraq, old Babylon under the boot, would welcome an amalgam of western invader armies clothed in the cloaks of liberators, some if not all of them allied to the Christian lands of Picot and Sykes, belonged much more to the realms of fantasy than to reality, the hard noses held. The Shiite became the greatest beneficiaries of the occupation or post Saddam chaos, and they turned out to love the first pillar of the axis of evil, the Islamic republic of Iran, more than they could ever love the Great Satan who liberated them from the yoke of the Sunni tyrant Saddam Hussein. But then Donald Rumsfeld was long gone from the scene and the chaos he left behind was for others to clear. This bravura while an open-ended mess is being created, provokes a hollow feeling in my belly as I ponder the contemporary Kenyan political elite. I like to typify them as the infantile comprador, petit bourgeoisie. They are very confident they have a chokehold on the state, the parastate and the levers of security that underwrite the violent, coercive power of the Order or system. Their social power, they obviously pontificate, is invincible. A FESTIVAL OF GRAFT AND FINANCIAL MALFFEASANCE From both the national (central government in Nairobi) to local (county governments), the auditor gENERAL'S report is a catalogue of the euphemism 'documents certifying the transactions were not supplied by the deadline'. Or the veracity or authenticity of the said expenditures could not be ascertained from the given documents. That is a detailed catalogue of bureaucratic looting, a feeding frenzy which has roped in the lowest clerks in concert with the highest big shots like prime minister Kinyua. On the sidelines we also saw a corned Alfred Mutua of Machakos supply us with the details which --mean to--- undercut the reputation of Kalonzo Musyoka as Mr. Clean. The list of massive graft perpetrated with impunity under the Jubilee administration is folklore and need not be disputed; neither does the deliberate lack of any will to reign in the rampant corruption. We have been told by both Peter Kenneth and Gideon Moi, both presidential candidates at some date in the future, that Uhuru Kenyatta himself is clean, it is just that he is swamped by dirty men, oily women, and long-fingered aids! It is the kind of 'apologia' we heard of Prime Minister Raila too when Miguna Miguna could take it no more! Peter and Gideon are trying to calm the nerves of their classmates. Theirs is an exercise in ingratiation, revealing the escalation of their mental decomposition. Things of the past. These shoal of tadpoles swimming agile and making good in the treasury pool are convinced they will rotate the presidency around themselves in an aristocratic merry-go-round ad infinitum! It is a historical entitlement the rank of a pathological delusion.I think there are other ideas whose times have arrived, and the jostling for dominance in the public space is gonna turn ugly sooner rather than later. How long can the impunity with which the Kenyan taxpayer is looted continue? Massive debts are negotiated and incurred for this or other noble purpose (like infrastructure) only for these to be looted by powerful private interests, leaving Wanjiku to foot the bill. The crisis is the back of Wanjiku will crack. And that is when all the desperate strands of thought will converge in a chaotic resolution. We are wasting too much resources. Such an enterprise must urgently reform or collapse. But we continue in a trajectory we recognise is against common sense, against our collective interest, and against elementary decency. It is as if we are in a suicidal pact and have entered a dynamic past a voluntary pull back. THE COST OF CORRUPTION IN BLOOD I have been reading an open report on why the Kenyan Defence Force suffered such a horrid defeat in El-Adde --the worst in her history. It seems a straight question of theft by higher quarters. There were no multiple defence parameters (much less against Al-Shabaab-patented attack tactics!). There were no drone surveillances, and no high tower night vision apps. All these had been paid for by the Europeans and the Americans who are contracting the KDF as their cheap mercenaries, but the money disappeared, a bit like... should we say NYS or Mafya House heist. The Americans carrying out their own aerial surveys on enemy troop concentrations, may have deliberately declined to tip off the thieving Kenyans for a bit of revenge. +80 KDF personnel dead. Sacrificed to corruption in Nairobi. Some will also remember the case of the Garissa campus massacre. Over 100 young Kenyans dead. The Elite Recce from Ruiru who could neutralise the terrorists in half an hour, took the better part of a day en-route by road! By the time they arrived, the terrorists had killed to their fill and run out of bullets anyway. The forces services chopper, if the rotten blades from Ukraine were rolling any, was on private business to Mombasa! How much are 85 KDF foot soldiers worth? How about 100 young college students? In current Kenya the answer is Nothing. Otherwise we would have an inquiry to NEVER LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN. We know the cause is the impunity of corruption, high-level corruption. These preventable blood-letting haunt me more than the straight pilfering of cash like the NYS haul in which Murkomem and Ruto's office boy are now taking centre stage. (Is Waiguru a patsy!?) SHOCK THERAPY: guitar wires dance macabre. The idea whose time has come is that of zero tolerance toward corruption. And, more importantly, how to harness it into SHOCK THERAPY. Of all men (and the few women) of Kenya who publicly talk of graft as intolerable, only candidate Ngatia of the Red Alliance have i heard distil the chilly truth. The top looters of Kenya, among them Moi and Kibaki under whose watches impunity took root, will be hanged by guitar wires in the event of his victory. And this, he pledges, will be done publicly at Uhuru Park. But the cleansing ceremony can also be enacted at a stadium near you, should your county decide its governor and staff, past or present, should pay the guitar-wire price for their accounting errors. That Ngatia is an ice-cold bloody heart, No? This is where culture has a neat surprise. On the advise of bad teacher Okot ---(he was given to bouts of over indulging drink)--- I went to consult the people. I found out chicken thieves, goat thieves, pick-pockets, apiko thieves, dime thieves, all manner of petty thieves unfortunate enough to be caught, are subjected to horrific forms of death at the hands of mob justice. They are usual torched, burnt alive, in some cases near construction sites, smashed to porridge by rocks and blocks. Therefore popular culture reports GORY is already EMBEDDED in public behaviour. As retribution for theft. -What is new, Ngatia? Kenyan culture in practice has, therefore, ALREADY a MANIFESTATION of zero tolerance to theft. Ngatia is simply out to apply what already is to bigger thieves, namely the institutional thieves who, currently, hold the levers of power and use the security forces to immunise themselves against justice, rough or soft. (2) The Kenya police are in effect licensed to kill suspected (violent) robbers. In fact there is a special unit, flying squad, which is a robber killer-cop unit! No arrest, no Miranda read, no day in court before a judge, no chance of bail. Dead stays dead. The copper is prosecutor, judge, juror and executor. I do not remember any disputation to the effect this is the law of the jungle. Any qualms have been from civil society, but these have been ably dismissed as running dogs of imperialist masters, whining for rewards in the form of crumbs from abroad. The template is then established.There is ample proof that Kenyan culture at large outside the ruling kleptocracy has (the consciousness of) zero tolerance toward property chicanery, robbery or such like thievery. The urgent political (scientific) question then becomes this: how can this radical consciousness be spread to permeate the corridors of bureaucracy, to encompass the government elite and political the cream? How can we inculcate the consciousness of zero-tolerance to corruption in the elite, from here to the future? The omelette will be baked, surely egg shells will crack a plenty. As an experiment, hanging 300 of them with guitar wires live at Uhuru Park could be a good start. Which three hundred? A good point to start would be that list handed to President Muigai, the list which he quashed as containing too many people dear to him. A class wipe out. NB: Okot Bitek is a poet. He is not bothered to scientific rigour. Amilcar Cabral is a scientific thinker. As so he takes all the trouble, goes to all lengths, to prove his thesis or defend his hypothesis. He has to displays superb depths of thought and analysis: culture is resistance too.Kenyan culture has fashioned horrific forms of murder to resist corruption and theft that overwhelms the land with impunity. Now a presidential candidate has arisen who articulates this point and bells the fat cats. But he is still a marginal, exiled candidate. He is a thunderbolt on a clear sunny day. The rain is not gonna fall to day, nor tomorrow, but the signs are in the air. It is gonna happen. Beet your arz Kenyan culture is going to spend the meantime fashioning even more horrible forms of murdering thieves in public! An idea whose time has come is like the famous djini outta bottle situation. We just gonna deal with it. I guess playing the ostrich is also a way of dealing with it. Denial is human, very human in deed.

Now let us ride, and try take care of the beef: THE TRIAL OF PATRICK NJOROGEFor the interest rates governor of the central bank of Kenya, Dr. Patrick Njoroge, here is a slight, first hint for the day: does the debt sustainability index/alarm depend on who is talking? or is it like sex, which slick lawyers like Bill Clinton will argue, depends on what you mean by, while everybody else is not just c.ock sure of the meaning, but deeply into practising too! In effect, the Kenya government has borrowed three times the cost of this landmark project to plug a budget deficit in one financial year. ---David NdiiBy landmark project Bad Boy Ndii was talking about the Raila-Kibaki Thika Super-Highway. ( Miguna Miguna running for Nairobi governor critiqued this highway in a very colourful but apt verbal. He was explaining why it turns into a swamp every downpour! and what he will have done to avoid repeats!) Other random sirens on the public debt are like Okay, siren is a perjorative.It betrays an attitude of alarm at the Kenyan public debt. An attitude which, preudiced, may neither be rational nor based on hard-nosed, objective econometric analysis. Therefore must I note the caveat of the other side: at a debt rate of 50% GDP or thereabouts, there is absolutely no cause for alarm! But for spoilers like me I hasten to point out the devil is in the detail. The details of debt use for instance. What does the state go into debt for!? To finance 40% corruption!? national and county, and hallelujah wait for the heavens to be kind? So I ran away with that figure to comparative tables with newly industrialised countries. What %tage was, say Malaysia disbursing to debt SERVICING (not repayment) at a the time it was RISING, industrialising!? Those comparative graphs make me very nervous. Then there is the German miracle financed by the MARSHALL PLAN LOANS! --In that 'wirtschaftswunder' period, what %tages of collected tax revenues were they exporting to service debt!? I just go to Eurostats to see the debt econometrics of economic miracles. When I turn around and my gaze goes toward the Kenyan treasury and these their statistics of graft, loss, IFMIS swindles, 40% tax revenues to service debts, I feel a certain dangerous anxiety. WHERE DOES CANDIDATE NGATIA COME FROM, CULTURALLY SPEAKING I, repeat for the upteenth time, am trying to have an accurate, barometric cultural reading of the rogue presidential candidate Ngatia. He contends incompetent, negligent buffoons masquerading as top bureaucrats running the country (on behalf of the graft cartel) are at least as dangerous to the country as Al-Shabaab terrorists. That is very harsh, but I am minded --before the pre-emptive dismissals of the likes of Ngatia as wild and odd-ball irresponsibles--- to think out why Kenyan culture, some resistance aspects of it at least, would reach such cold-blooded templates. (I should do the parable of the African debt Gordian Knot) To these purposes I already closed the case on former CJ Wily Mutunga! -- Yes, guilty as charged, he can be hanged pridelessly like a village chicken thief. He, no doubt professionally capable thereto, yet, at a decisive and transitional moment, failed to define a moral benchmark as demanded in the line of chapter six of the constitutional schedule. This paragraph was uncannily called the integrity clause. Wily Mutunga was paid the full rates and more, thereto. That is plane fraud, a top price-for-worthless-goods. It is the kind of swindle which an adult regime --of restored historical personality-- can not forgive!So Wily Mutunga's neck grazes the guitar wires in a noose. And he swings. How about you, CBK Dr. Njoroge?First we establish your credentials as an ace of our land. Your morals are impeccable as to be a saint, even if Kenya is so morally compromised a bit of a prostitue is easily a candidate for sainthood. Your professional training is Ivy-League; you are top graduate of the empire-running colleges where imperial topbrass the likes of Hilary C. and Obama B. are forged, not to mention Bzerzinski Zig and Kissinger Hen. To your experience, you have run several successful programs as a Bretton Woods hireling, in effect a fixer of economies for the IMF. That is in your CV. We therefore establish you a star, we pontificate a star has grazed the auspices of the central bank of Kenya. A star is doomed to shine, or be called a DEAD star. (Let us not say the IMF school pre-rigged your stardom with a neo-liberal self-destruct timebomb in your mind! Let us keep it as a thought!, thinking of the implosion of the Franoois Hollande bubble) And so your problems, or rather my problems with you, start. Africa is rising but I miss the propulsive power of the superstar Patrick Njoroge kicking Kenya's arz higher. The indicators from your end of the thrust indicate a limp. The CBK is a limping ship. You see, for instance, after your submission to the great William Singh on the legitimation of wanton plunder by county governments, while at the same time ever pairing with the debt-addicted Henry Rotich to negotiate emergency credit after emergency loan to pay off matured debts, you too are an obvious candidate to swing on guitar wires at Uhuru park. Live! You are shepherding the future generation into the noose of debt. I want to prevent that Ngatia-proposed fate from befalling thee. --a lot of my friends and peers are like myself a bit of BOKO you see, so the egotistic element of self-preservation must not be underestimated here. I am scared we, the boko accessories to the current elitist kleptocratic mayhem bedevelling Africa, are hitting a historical cul de sac, and not just because Africa is turning East and will be robustly more Eastern than Western, nay, the fear is deeper: the ever patient, ever accommodative, ever abused, ever permissive, ever docile Kenyan culture is finding its temper and loosing it. Heretofore Kenya has been hakuna matata free for all. I fear that era is coming to an end. Kila mtu ata kaa chonjo na kubeba mzigo yake. The western book-educated elite, Boko, will befall the fate of the once all white colonial elite which lorded over lands like Kenya. I foresee our doom! The classic refrain of cogs: 'I was only obeying orders!' wont do this time around to plead an acquittal. DISCLAIMER: I am not interested in these your alleged extra statutory powers do not bother me one little sh!t. But it would appear they mightily bother the mighty cartels, enough for them to hire the Grandmullah's Nairobi to tie you up and f.uck you up. The Grandmullah says you are targeting banks owned by MINORITY COMMUNTIES! Between the lines he is saying the Opus Dei Christian fundamentalist is grinding an axe against Muslim banks! That is music to the ears of middle east ideological warriors with money. The grandmullah is dogwhistling a monetarily powerful constituency! Very smooth! Here is Miguna's interesting take on the Grandfixer. And no love lost here is the Grandfixer's take on Miguna And here is the fixer's take on the governor of the central bank of Kenya. But those are side shows from rotten banker who do not wish to pay back their ill-gotten heist. What bothers me several truck loads of sh!t, however, is that, likely, like the Othaya Genius Mwai Kibaki at finance, Math genius George Saitoti at finance, Banking genius Duncan Ndegwa at the bank, you will leave high office having performed at less than 10% of your abilities. It is the kind of inefficiency, underperformance which, in my strict opinion, keeps Kenya (and most of Africa) 50 years un-industrialised while independent agemates like South Korea and Malaysia, in the same period, round us again and again going places. That statistic is the boiling bile in my heart. And I am done burnt. For Africans who have not been to the next village, neither to Malaysia nor South Korea of late, they are happily saved the demasque of 'developing nation'. Otherwise it is unbelievable Kenya and South Korea were comparable 50 years ago!I was as shocked as that proverbial native son of a chief who goes to the Metropolitan capital in Fanon's book. He finds a world, a capitalistically ruthless world of other premises and drives, a world which informs him his idyllic paradise back at the equator is a dead world. It is a terrifying existential crisis, everything must change and quick, and it is a crisis which breeds a ruthless impatience, a charged turbo drive toward industrialisation so to speak. (I took tour of Samsung campus in the motherland. When I came back to take a tour at JKUAT, Fanon's words kept on ringing in my head, mocking my heart. The operative budget of one sub-lab at the Samsung campus, outstripped the whole research kitty of all Kenyan technical universities combined! ---Fcuk Fanon! Fcuk Fanon! Fcuk Fanon! The Great Matiang'i wouldn't know what I am talking about! research lab? he is taking care of KCPE!) The Boko elite have lamentably failed, throughout the continent at large. So I am easily done explaining Africa at the bottom of the pile. Century after century. I want the old emergency rule back. Give men of ability a single chance, they fcuck up, they get fcucked up, deep and dead. These cartels employing the grandmullah apparently only want you removed from your job. Me, I want worse: either you perform at 70% of your formidable abilities or it is the guitar wires around your neck, your feet in the air. Dance macabre. When I travel around the world fresh from the slums of Kayole where my brother lives, a lot of unheard of stuff become self explanatory, like hot and cold water running at the beck and call of users of public toilets anywhere, or, big windows or not, air-conditioned systems in all school classrooms in case the globe warms. No power black outs! Gosh! Imagine that kind of stuff is really possible for EVERYBODY! Clean water in every home and a decent roof over the head! Mayoo! A miracle!? Hot water cold water both running full speed! Mayoo! Mungu Yuko in other countries yawa!

THE DANGEROUS ALLIANCE BETWEEN FIXER LAWYERS AND FACILITATED JUSTICES
I find this intriguing: Judge Mutava and Kamlesh Pattni. Okay, that is 2012.
Now fast forward. If it aint broke don't fix it.
Let us visit a few random rulings of one Judge, this man Justice Onguto. I am being open-minded as yet, but since I do statistics as a hobby, contradicting certainties in probabilities would require more than two takes, and a third very consultative one to be definite. --Now, Onguto.
There are more, but these are enough to demand a very powerful put of perspective.
Now, I am ready to predict the outcome if Judge Onguto will be the decider in the following case!
If the Grandmullah Abdullahi AhmedNassir ------like his replacement at the JSC Prof Tom Ojienda who, with the EACC respective the Kideros, raised the issue of absence of the quorum of commissioners to have all steps taken at that time declared null and void----- will reason the central bank of Kenya had no functional mandate since the board of governors was incomplete at the time Patrick Njoroge did the necessary in the height of the banking mess, the riled criminal bankers escape, and get compensation, and Njoroge gets diminished.
Aaah, they single out the governor, and the lead gun is Ahmednassir Abdullahi, with former presidential candidate and progressive Paul Muite. This ethnic baiting by top lawyers fighting the corners of top looters needs a deep think. The case of the ace professor and the grandmullah will do.
OJIENDA AND AHMEDNASSIR: BIRDS OF A FEATHER HAVE THE SAME QUACK!
They exchanged places at the high table of that sitting-allowance scamming board of scumbugs, otherwise known as the JSC. No man loots Wanjiku with that kind of mercenary impunity like Ahmednassir and Ojienda did and do, and then turns around to, straight faced, accuse Patrick Njoroge of MISMANAGING the banking sector like the rotten Mullah is now doing.
NB: I read associate professor Bitange Ndemo's horror at educated Africans evaluating the curtailment of freedom under a benign dictator, in exchange for Singapore like meteoric rise. Well, we call it the Rwanda template these days, in the light of tyrant Kagame's good press with respect to the cleanliness of government!
Now I catch myself, reading the nonsensical submission from the lawyer disparaging Patrick Njoroge, wishing for a man with the balls of Francis Kimemia.
Kimemia did not hesitate to show the CJ, Wily Mutunga, when bullsh!t is bullsh!t. He had him locked up in a toilet at the airport for trying to travel to Tanzania without authorisation from higher authorities! Then came Agwambo. The former Prime Minister has, by protocol, access to the VIP section at JIKA. Still, Kimemia did not like folks taking thins for granted. He ordered Raila yanked off the VIP toilet for behaving as if it were his right! And of course when Mungiki thought they could grow horns, even testify against Uhuru Kenyatta, betray him to Ocampo or Bensouda, angry he had not paid all, Kimemia just shrugged and remembered what John Michuki had taught him. Sometimes hard things have to be done in life. Do it then, quickly and firmly. Dead stays dead.
Now, if Francis Kimemia were head of the civil service, if he could have survived the petty intra-gikuyu jelousies which poisoned Uhuru Kenyatta's mind against him, and if Kimemia were not compromised like the intrigant PM Joseph Kinyua, and he thought bankers needed a little reigning in, having looted enough, I suspect Ahmed Nassir would sing a different song here toward Patrick Njoroge. I am sure Kimemia would look at the pictures of leading terrorist suspects and notice, by a process called ethnic profiling, that the grandmullah was a topographical perfect match. He would then send two orderlies to the grandmullah's office with the message: 'I do not like terrorists intimidating the best central banker in Africa, and one of the best in the world. And if he is a Kikuyu Christian, Wagalla is nothing compared to what I will do to protect him from terrorists, URP wing of Jubilee or not!'
Now, the grandmullah claimed Njoroge is targeting certain ethnic minorities, when the CBK seeks to restructure and regain lost monies from directors? And that is exactly the line Ojienda took when KRA came to bust him! -ethnic bias!
These are the kind of scum Wily Mutunga used to run the judiciary with! No wonder they chose to kill the vetting board. The vetting would have killed their gooses laying golden eggs, ie corrupt judges delivering them the rulings they want for a fee, in which case they could build reputations as FIXERS, ever case-winners. With a judge in your pocket who wouldn't be a top lawyer!?
Here are whiff of Ojienda's tribulations!
These details are important. Not for now. For now they are still merely entertainment. They are variations on 'socialite bimbo' altercations. But when --Soyinka's--- men of a harder breed like Paul Kagame arrive in town, these will be death seals. You can take that to the grave, all the way to hell or heaven.

REFORMING THE PUBLIC WAGE BILL: is it too tall an order for the incumbent Nobility Under Uhuru Kenyatta? What next then? I was talking Rome the other day during a tutorial. I was trying to impress upon a youthful audience more interested in their phasebook updates, that human beings can tolerate cruelty as a form of public amusement for ages on end. I was giving the example of the Roman arena where slaves called GLADIATORS amused the masses, distracting their anger at the nobility by offering an alternative bloody catharsis for their pent up frustrations. Like sheep are bred to be slaughtered for barbecue in the coming festive season, gladiators were trained to kill one another and die for mass entertainment. If these strong and hardy slaves were not programmed to finish themselves off, they surely would find a better career, may be even discover they were better men than the ruling dynasties and turn things upside down, by rebellion, as in Spartacus. You are our modern gladiators, O young men (and probably women)! You are excess labour we do not know what to do with. That is how to explain the near 50% youth unemployment rate. But you are strong and restive and at the height of your future fantasies. That makes you just too dangerous in a stagnating economy, or one which is growing at a mythical 10% but still below the break even absorption rate. The political system must therefore device a SELF-DESTRUCT occupation for thee, to pre-occupy and waste theeselves in. This is how to explain the civil wars in Iraq and Syria which is consuming Arab young men in the tones while leaving ossified monarchs in power.For Kenyan youth it is equally easy. Intoxicate them with identity politics of TRIBE. And then you are like a Jason who has thrown a stone into the farm of dragon teeth in Kolkhis! The nobility can then fold arms, watch in condescending amusement as the desperate youth tear themselves apart along ethnic lines, and continue their arrogant looting spree of the collective. Anyway, an idea whose time has come need not be put into practice, but if it is thwarted, there is a price. A real price in the real world. (it is also reasonable to point, it is the task of national culture to author a cheaper way out of a crisis, than the kind of bloodily expensive stuff the Arab spring has morphed into!) A ROMAN STORY www.roman-empire.net/republic/tib-gracchus.html Grabbed land like where the Weston Hotel is built you mean!? OF OPTIMATES AND POPULARES, PATRICIANS AND PLEBEIANS Talk about a Nobility and Commoners in the battle for the future of Rome. Say there is an economic crisis, as a mercenary army and a production system based on slave-labour, breeds a new class of ambitions which cannot be contained, nor realised within the same political confine. There has to be an upheaval. It is in effect reform time in Rome; but in the nature of man with power, a power which can sustain impunity with brutal force, the incumbent's answer is bound to be: over my dead body! Steady as she goes!die your aspirations! ---One could say that of Gambia's Yahya Jahmme's current redux, or of Congo's Joseph Kabila, whose constitutional mandate ends on Dec. 19 2016, but is set to stay. Mta do!? And so in Rome at that time of systemic crisis emerged the (Grachhi) --brothers Grachus, aka Tiberius and Gaius Ssempronius. After reading a version of the Roman Ndung'u report, Land reform it was they initiated. Historically these are known as the semptonian laws. But this daring of the status quo fates would lead to their premature deaths. The nobility calling the shots. It is important to joke about these things, in class, for we teachers competing for attention against smart-phones active under note books in lecture theatres! --We must joke about things like Ndung'u report, Kroll report, TJRC report, Forensic audits and reform bills, NYS heists, Mafya House jobs, JSC and Judiciary scams, 300% salary hikes for all state employees! Etc etc. Yeah, is it not demands toward LAND REFORM which killed JM Kariuki!? that he presented a draft bill to Jomo Kenyatta. Jomo laughed. JM retorted he would stand for President and let the people decide. -Bad joke, he!? Yap, we historians do not have any good jokes in house, that is why we like to run to the literati. These will tell you JM was pumping one of JK's favourite mpango wa kandos and it became, like most love triangles, a Ranalo's William Osewe and I forget his name gun-fight. Tragedy is mostly the result. And over a world war, this is what poets will tell you. ' The sons of Greece suffered hell, and countless braves entered doom. All because divine Hellene was beguiled into abandoning her wedded bed and venture into servicing princely Trojan c.ock!'Oh? A war between two super powers over Puszy? Really? But after +2 thousand years this is of course a better story than wars about sea-lanes ( South China Sea), natural resources ( Gulf Wars, Congo Wars), and geo-political strategic interests ( Syria)! So I tell my class that JM was into being Muigai's stepfather. So Jomo had him laid low. If one of them smart-phone addicts shouts 'YOU LIE SIR!' (like that foolish senator during Obama's presidential speech) I grin and reply, ask your president, he should know. It is his family history. And don't come back to me with Kiraithe or Esipisu on that. I know their lines already!Yes, it is important to joke about these things. The youth of today have no time for serious stuff. (I am not saying Kim Khardasian's bubble-butt is not serious stuff mark you!) But then, if you think that is something, then you haven't borne witness to the worshipable shapes of Tz's Agnes Masogange's sensational rears. (watch this space when I have the time for a series on her twerks, later!) KENYA'S REFORM INERTIA The republic is headed for an election August 2017. And the political mercury is rising. It is obvious many institutions are dysfunctional, least of which is the electoral commission. I prefer to believe the fairy tale devolution is still in its infancy, wherefore the ubiquitous confusion in accounting books, for instance in the counties. But what I prefer to believe is not currently my concern. My concern is what the future portends for a people and a nation led by a class resolved to block reform, especially at a time when there is no other option because the debt/productivity ratio can not be mediated by sensible tax returns. Meanwhile the current owners of the 'crisisd' land beat Tomtom drums. The proposal to excise Nairobi county, to paste her back as an appendix to a ministry under the control of the President is such a joke of inertia. A better modernist joke would be to declare Nairobi Maa country and, citing historical injustices, open negotiations with the Maa nation on compensation for lost tribal land rights! Otherwise the administrative capital should be transferred to Machakos for instance, leaving Nairobi a purely commercial, Capital capital. Machakos becomes Washington, Nairobi New York. Decongested and traffic manageable. Last time Obama and Netanyahu came to town, there was a lock down. It is stupid to lock down a commercial capital (even for one hour) because foreign dignitaries are coming for a state banquet! Move the idle politicians to some other lazy place. Then everyday a banquet for ever Tom Dick and Harry visiting from abroad. That is more like it I think. The public wage bill - brought to the fore by the recent doctors and nurses strike, and the magical 300% wage-hike-demand reminiscent of the teachers deal, coupled with the debt statistics and corruption haemorrhage, are symptoms of a systemic crisis. The euphemism is SUSTAINABILITY. So the cash-crunched yet graft-ridden government has been playing possum. Signing deals and MOU's with labour, called CBA's (collective bargain agreements), but with no intentions to honour them. Meanwhile the situation is radicalised by daily reports of documented billion treasury looting, and threats to 'decommission' all striking medical personnel. Then every face goes on poker, but the hearts within the breasts of man, seethe with passions more toxic than cobra venom. These passions are instinctively discernible, and that is why the ruling elite is engaged in a massive exercise to neutralise them uphead. They do this by all other means than the needed systematic reform. And that is the historical fix. Francis Ole Kaparo is warning of hate speech! He is threatening the fires of hell for culprits! Peace Love and Unity is being preached everywhere as if all the diverse media outlets have become Nyayo mouthpieces once again, yet, O farce, as one listens to politicians, they do nothing in their public speeches but speak in CODES, hateful codes well understood by their target audience. And those codes are not of love thy neighbour as thy does thyself. (What does Nairobi ina wenyewe mean!?) But the crisis remains. Becomes more acute and beggars a solution ever more desperately. Can we move on without land reform? Or is that Ndung'u report gathering dust at the cellars of the national archives a radio-active bomb that need must be dealt with somehow? Can we continue to afford this rate of state looting by the elite, or are we already scraping the bottom of natural good will, and the bubble is already burst? Devolution was a master stroke in stopgap conflict resolution. But poorly executed, very short term. It eased tensions, redirected attentions, redefined ambitions. It decentralised power, shared out the cake wider and created new centres of looting for hitherto marginalised groups. That is inclusivity, that is incorporation. But, mistaken for a ticket to unbridled looting, as if funds are from a money-printing factory like the European Central Bank doing Quantitative Easing for bond buy-backs, devolution has become an accounting blackhole, a bankrupting machine of duplicated functions at exorbitant rates. Yet value still has to be created, and that can only be in a productive process. Howbeit all the monies looted by tenderpreneural scams have to be paid by loans or proceeds from tax. But taxing poor people is high political risk in a socially imbalanced framework. Telling doctors to go back to their meagre salaries while every other loafer in high government service is looting the taxpayer dead, is comedy. The answer is an all-encompassing structural reform across the economy. A NEW DEAL FOR ALL. But try, and that is when you die like the Brothers Grachus! And so the republic drifts like a rudderless ship. With luck we will make land, or run aground at swimming distance. I am your optimisto! For today!

AS WE ENJOY BEING FOOLED, AND SOME THINK YOU CAN FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME! Toward a massive and decided investment in the brains of the Kenyan child, the greatest national resource we have. Massive and decided will mean zero tolerance on corruption. And that means treating the state looters as terrorists, outlaws. And outlaws can be summarily executed. That is adults only talk. IT IS an old cliche attributed to Karl Marx. History repeats first as tragedy, thereafter farce. One defends by saying we are human, so we must go through the whole rigmarole, every generation over and over again. It is a cyclic vision. There was Kenneth Matiba's spat with Jaramogi Odinga. FORD became ASILI contra KENYA. They handed Arap Moi the presidency unopposed. Then there was the Kijana Wamalwa vs Odinga jnr. spat, not to mention the independence of Mwai Kibaki and Charity Ngilu, whereby the opposition handed Moi the presidency as a Christmas present in 1997. Then there was the Orange Democratic movement, splitting a few months before the general election in 2007. It became ODM and wiper, Raila and Kalonzo going it alone and handing Mwai Kibaki the upper hand. As Kibaki's tenure ended, there was the split between Mudavadi and Raila, as MDVD left in one of the most comical acts of political tomfoolery of recent history. Now, older and wiser, sadder and ready to be nicer to each other, the tomfools of yesterday ---or dare i say the aging and useless bulls------ now agree to hang together to prevent the eventuality of hanging apart in ignominy. Who said you can't teach old dogs new tricks!? Farce tragedy, farce tragedy, farce tragedy! So churns on the train of history through time. NASA? NASA is the new buzzword for the emerging grand alliance of the opposition. It is set to feature yes, Raila, Kalonzo, Mudavadi. Wetangula, and who knows who else. KANU's Gideon Moi is cagey. He can't make up his mind like Ababu Namwamba whose LPK is officially in Jubilee. At least the officials! Uhuru Kenyata on his part seems to have been rattle enough by the possibility of Gideon joining NASA, to make a personal call! princeling to princeling. These are the lots of history repeating themselves the lots of times. Past tragedy. AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION TO FIT RULING CLASS DESIGNS Did you know the Lancaster constitution at Independence had a prime minister's slot? And did you know it was a multi-party, and barred public servants from being part of companies doing business with government, by proxy or otherwise? (this one was called the 'conflict of interest' clause. And did you know it accommodated the KADU desires toward Majimboism, ie latent federalism, ie DEVOLUTION! It is not very easy to come up with an original idea in this world, much less in the world of national constitutions. Ever since the renaissance battle cry of Man must be free! And the egalite, fraternity, liberte ruthlessness, there is hardly any room for evolution. The business of government is still authoritarian elitist usurpation, meaning most orders stand in the way of man toward freedom. And so history is guaranteed to surprise itself by how little man learns from his past. Two tinkering bells have tolled of late on the constitution of the republic of Kenya. When it was promulgated, with the integrity clause and all still intact, it looked a godsend. Today these lootocratic parasites are rapidly shaping the constitution into a wreath on the grave of the second liberation. Already under the custody of pathetic doctors like Wily Mutunga and his rogue JSC, the document suffered strategic mutilations, and, things going the same, it is the tragic pathway of the then heroic Lancaster paper. Burnt to ash! (only for the nation to wake up half a century later, going like GO-damn! I want that multiparty and Majimbo after all! Halleluya!) Of the suggestions from our ruling monstrous twins, one has been for further devolution --or the dilution of the power at the centre, while the other guns for additional concentration of revenue in the presidency ---by taking Nairobi county back to His Excellency's leisure. This latter infamy has been from the insatiable nyama-eating Jubilee, currently the incumbent lootocratic wing of the Kenyan oligarchy; the former -which proposes a premier and a presidium of vice presidents---- is from the meza-mate crazed outsiders aka the opposition, CORD. Would, that these tolls didn't reek so much of bad-faith and corrupt self-indulgent service, all to the glory of the graft-addicted elites! Then would a discussion on the merits of each proposal be appropriate. But as they are, these are merely ruling class gimmicks to further tighten their chokehold on the nation's vitals. Where is the proposal for instance, to democratise education in Kenya? To democratise education means to put into law and into practice, that every primary school in the republic meets a certain decent standard in BUILDINGS, EQUIPMENT AND PERSONNEL DEPLOYMENT. --Money can no longer considered a scarce resource for the Kenyan government. They are wasting it like there is no tomorrow. If Matiang'i were to put the 5 billion lost at MAFYA HOUSE to constructing primary schools in arid areas at a civilised efficiency rate, what would we get? FOOTNOTE If education is the key --like Lucky Dube also sang, and the government wont cater for the basics but endlessly steals from the public, who needs such a government really? I hear you candidate Ngatia. If Kenyan children go to such schools ---and I have walked the whole lengths of MUKURU KWA NJENGA to inspect and see for myself, so that I can know what I am talking about----- I do not see why the multi-million villa-building PS at Mafya house should not be hanged candidate Ngatia style, with guitar wires at Uhuru park, with Les Wanyika's Omar Shaban's guitar hit Sina Makosa in accompaniment. Build schools not villas with stolen public money. Whether it is Weston Hotel, or the other one
.. And me? I want the money to go into skilling the brains of slum children. Equipment and Alliance high School comparative buildings! I think their brains are a better investment any day for the country! It is laboratories and I want to build like this --Kamau Radisson, and Kariokor-like flats for the whole of Mukuru! Any disputations!? Nevertheless the nervousness on both sides of the artificial divide is palpable. Let us begin with the Uhuruto twins on NASA www.the-star.co.ke/news/2016/12/15/dismiss-tribal-nasa-during-2017-poll-uhuru-tells-western-residents_c1474265 They have not heard of Ngatia, have they!? Let us outlaw slum life!

When criminals beg to be hanged, find it in your Christian heart to hang them. They will die happy, their redemption prayers answered, their inate wish fulfilled. Ahmen.
TINKERING WITH THE PROCESS AND OTHER SYSTEM STORIES
Elections are nothing new. Even General Elections. These have been variously held in desperate historical eras, times where, apart from our modern suffrage which we claim is adult universal, the technological options of today were non-existent.
Both rigged and unrigged results were recorded under primitive technological regimes. But in the rule, elections have been an unhappy, flawed affair. That is a fact independent of technology, because rigging is a deliberate action by man to manipulate a process: it is fraud, like murdering an emperor to speed up a succession in Rome or anywhere else for that matter.
Every economic sector is fraught with it, bankers being some of the worst creeps, if one remembers the banking-orchestrated crisis which forced Barrack Obama into the mother of all bail-outs -for Wall Street of all streets! It would appear this kind of (criminal, fraudulent) behaviour is so inherent to man in life, that a look at the penal codes developed over the course of civilisation could lead to a revision of the definition of man, not as a social animal, but a habitual criminal on the loose. The constitution then, is to curb man's otherwise monstrous instincts, as these are ever on the prowl for a loophole to indulge. And, yeah, we talking 'normal' man, not mad man.
who can blame Hammurabi for his draconian reform?
In the high-tech era, digital and computerised as we now are, the problem has not been solved. Neither has the electoral process been foolproofed against manipulation, nor has the market sector, nor the financial sector, nor the medical sector been wiped clean of 'organised' and systematic crime. On the contrary, individual or concerted white-collar crime has mushroomed along with technological creativity. The IFMIS system can be rigged --it has massively been in Malawi and Kenya. The algorithms of stock-trading can be rig-written to favour some, just like Internet search-engine algorithms too are now reportedly pre-rigged, both to favour and block, in the global informational warfare going on. Call it white collar or cyber crime, but technology has not proved to be the panacea against crime. The place to watch remains MOTIVE. The heart of man, brimming with passions, intent and pathological audacity. Technology has famously not banished war, it just inflated the kill-power by factors infinite.
HOW BAD ARE THE JUBILEE AMENDMENTS IN QUESTION?
If the reported reasoning why the CORD fraternity is so against the amendments is true, then CORD is mistaken. But the CORD fraternity is right in their assessment of their own inability to prevent a rigging, should Jubilee choose to do so with a plan. At a common sense level, it is always better to have BACK-UP, in this case both analogue and digital systems if one can afford to. In fact, to verify the performance, university departments of maths can later study the VARIANCE between both results, to, in the event of non-concurrence, work out which one was MORE ACCURATE and why!
That is of course as an academic exercise, but then, aint that what you have universities for? academic exercises. --For instance, it is lost on the general public, but within planet statistics, relevant minds are whirling on the variance between the result predicted by EXIT POLLS, and the actual final result on COUNT. This is in the specific case of some key swing states in the recently concluded USA elections where The Donald schlonged Queen HRC.
Some will even have heard of a famous anomaly in the same (exit polls in long ago California) which gave rise to the term BRADLEY EFFECT. The thing is, people can lie in polls just like they can lie just about everywhere and anything. In a university department of statistics, it is not idleness to calculate or estimate by which factor a people are lying on a questionnaire. Those who want to sell a people something may want to know how to factor in the lies people tell! Which brings us to the key issue in Kenya:
(by how much are CORD and JUBILEE lying deliberately) and
What is the probability the next elections will be rigged by the powers that be in power?
(Personally I think if they have and see a chance to rig and get away with it they will. That is what history teaches about power held by man! It commits crimes until the price is inevitable and ruthless.)
Of course math whizzes at the Kenyan departments of statistics are not going to tell you. It could be outside their scope. But it does not matter, the people will go with what they believe about their Africa and how things work. The people have a historical memory, they have their own minds too; their own senses and the unforgiving reality of lived experience teaches them well. One cannot rig the truth out of that without going farcical. Compliance is not the same thing as allegiance. There is a dangerous autonomy in between.
If at face value common sense backs up Jubilee, the reasons for CORD's rage, personified in the Millie Odhiambo meltdown live, must therefore be sought elsewhere, just like, behind the scenes in planet reality, the true motivations for the amendments which Jubilee rushed at the dark of the midnight hour before X-mas break, must also be sought elsewhere. Methinks that is easier done than said. In a politically corrupt, morally near destitute public administration racket as ours in Kenya, answers to whatever complex questions tend to be obvious. Visionless politicians, corruptible to the core, insanely greedy and primitive, unpatriotic and treacherous, have neither mysterious thoughts nor double-layered behavioural patterns. They are linear and naked apes visible in their all to the unit cell.
There is a war on to control the flow of loot from Wanjiku's purse. It manifests as a power struggle within an elite whose legitimacy is historically tenuous. The political class in a double act as the business class then bubble a lot like molecules at the top of an increasingly heating cauldron.
But there is a third sinister force in the drama. And more variables.
There are tectonic shifts in the social geography of Kenya, shifts like the rural/urban population balance; ratio of unemployed college graduates to employed college graduates; lowest to highest salary; and population differentiation in age segments, tied to earnings. And,
NOTA BENE, you have your emerging consciousnessES, some aborted and confused like Ababu Namwamba's fake Mulembe, others ruthlessly, historically determined like the Gikuyu strand which vetoed Mwai Kibaki's succession plans (of either Mudavadi or Kalonzo) and installed another Kikuyu, Uhuru Kenyatta, having earlier on rigged Kibaki in for his second term. (This big Gikuyu monopolist nationalism and supremacist yet insecure drive, needs an in-depth of its own. It is a destabilising factor which, like a seething Germany in the centre of Europe or once upon a time Serbia at the centre of Yugoslavia, needs a master plan to guarantee social cohesion in Kenya, and the wider EAC region naturally. It feels too unsure of its business prowess without control of state power. A terrifying inferiority complex. -Later thus.)
Well, otherwise said it is the unfolding transition, the material reality of Kenya which is the fuel in the furnace under the republic. The transition needs an economic expansion to absorb and mediate the contradictions. There is economic expansion with Africa rising and all that of course, but even at break-neck 10%, it is still a figure below break-even. True improvement, and we aren't talking fair distribution of the national cake yet, is when it is above break-even, when the account wallows in the positive profit margins, however meagre. This means whatever the ruling class does, so long they do not pass the break-even (statistical) mark, it is all retardation, a controlled fall. This insight is what informs the frenzied dash for LOANS engaged in by the Rotich-run treasury, albeit uncarefully worked out.
This insight is what instinctively pushes Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto into hyper activity, to make mileage like wildebeests on the run away from life-threatening droughts, now frantically dishing this and that development project hither and thither, now jet-lagged and absent-mindedly officiating this start-up here and that finish-off there. Appearances must be kept, the nation must at least be seen to be developing, to be improving, to be going places under Digitally dynamic Jubilee. Break this magical perception, the game ends, because the collective realisation by a generation whose future is ostensibly still ahead of them, that such a future does not exist, is the death knell on any political order.
They say many a young Kenyan of either sex is looking for a 'sponsor'! That is nice for graduated into the mentality of a prostitute wishing to be kept.
The politics of CDF-pilfered handouts sprinkled by the political class to bribe the restive youth with mind-sapping alcohol in the campaign seasons, is a dead-end. Both parties know. And on the higher hand, the desperate campaign politics of REVIVING INDUSTRIES, be they sugar or cotton or wheat or Pan Paper, without a clear blueprint of their competitive edge in a globalised, OPEN economy (of outrageously --subsidized?---- cheap imports from China for instance), is equally a dead-end.
Then there is the problem of raw parasitism, aka the cannibalism or primitive accumulation. This is the plunder of public resources of which has become the flagship of devolution. In another word, economic sabotage. This is the paradox of the same crew promising to take us places hellbent on sabotaging the ship mid voyage!
All pirates yesterday rob I --sang Bob Marley. Well, 'yesterday'!? I think it is more like all elected leaders today turn pirate on I!
So below decks there is turmoil in the slave ship. Slaves tug on their iron shackles, and the jingling cacophony excites but terrifies at the same time. The air if foul below decks, most Kenyans migrate to the city only to live in the horrid sewer-swamped slums which cordon the citadelic city centres. Their shouts of HELP! we are suffocating down here! go unheeded regardless of the change in captains above deck. The ladders to the top, rumoured to be education and meritocracy, are strategically placed and priced, such that only a select few with the connections and the means, rise up. With lots of brainy Kenyans hawking their dignity, shacked to squalor and waste below decks, tales of we are moving are correct ----the ship sails on of course----- but the reality dowstairs is either the latches open that we breathe,
... some believable captain come to herald a new dawn of unshackled life and alternative destinations to slums and bareback slave-pens,
... or this journey is doomed to end in trouble.
The indicators of social stability are well known, so too those of instability. Consider this imbalance in the light of the ongoing (public healthcare) doctors and nurses strike. This is a symptom of a deeper problem which requires a grand plan to address. And the political class is here irrelevant, because they are the biggest problem! Biggest problems do not solve themselves, neither do they dissolve voluntarily.
What mayhem happens in the Kenyan Parliament therefore, needs a reading. It is not what it is. Parliament is not where it is at. The situation is fluid, like in the uncertainty principle of an orbiting electron. In this respect Raila's instincts tend to be very perceptive. One remembers the old, old days when there used to be a photo of footballers in action in the Saturday paper. But the ball was missing. If you could accurately spot the (invisible) ball, you won a price.
This is one of Amollo Tinga's devastating abilities. He easily spots the ball in the melee. And now, it is certainly not in parliament. Impunity means the laws are merely ornamental for the rich and powerful. So the frontiers of combat have to be diversified and extended, the enemy drawn into deeper waters, with the risk of both parties drowning of course.
Watch the hysteria Agwambo has elicited from the usual suspects to gauge the depth of the move.
Continued: the problem with people like Raila
FOOTNOTE: When laws are ornamental to the rich and powerful, and the constitution breachable at their leisure, think precedents. like
The BLACK ROD RITUAL
Here is a summary from Wikipedia. A country has to mind it when it rings Parliament with armed police. It mocks vital tenets in the constitution, but, Halleluya, it creates room for culture to enact highly hilarious rituals --centuries later!
Be warned, O Motherland! Tinker not too much with it This thing we call the constitution!
But do thy make my day if you want Three hundred long years from now! Meanwhile a merry Christimas shout by rote!

DISRESPECTING THE PRESIDENT OR THE PRESIDENCY? There will be need to substantiate whether it is truly a case of disrespecting the office of the president or merely (an alleged case of disrespecting) the CURRENT imbecile holder of that lofty office. Mesees a big difference in those two things. This highest of state offices is an official investment of power --the peoples power so-called; the occupant at any one time can vary from, on the lower side, the cheapest of cowardly vassals to, on the upper scale, the stoic peak of revolutionary fire like, say, Fidel Castro. Surely only a mongrel would want a normal citizen to regard, say, Vladamiri Putin with the same awe as Boris The Drunk Yeltsin! We all know some presidents are human dung, others the nearest thing to God. And who in his right mind wants to treat dung like divinity? I remember Paul Kagame always twitching his nose
always referring to the then president of Rwanda Juvenal Habyarmana as human dung! The smear needed be wiped off the face of Rwanda and flushed down the sewer. Of course many still referred to Habyarmana as his Excellency. When Kagame came to power they all agreed they had been mistaken. Juvenal was pure excreta. Good riddance Paul. Yes, we humans are that treacherous, that fickle, that forked of tongue, but some are truly patriotic and ruthlessly ambitious for their lands. The presidency in itself is nothing. It is the content of the man, or woman, who fills it. Or renders it a vacuum yet occupied! This is why regimes can be proxy, a King, a puppet. And so vigilance is always warranted, lest a people be defrauded of their will. The games of power must be revealed. The elite stripped naked,as in accountability too. and for all Uhuru's public admonitions to decorum and morality [/quote] And remember the gun drama? But the one you have to watch for is when the Christian fundamentalist and convert Singh-in-one, weeps again in public and proclaims the good lord has revealed to him, the time 2022 is not yet ripe for a MUSLIM president of Kenya! Here is Joho working the crowd in Nairobi, disturbing the peace of the 'wenyewe' But first MILLIE ODHIAMBO, THEN HASSAN JOHO AGAIN MP Millie Odhiambo asked President Kenyatta to stop harassing Kenyans by barring MPs from accessing parliament for the special sitting [PHOTO/CITIZEN] When the president of the republic -or some lowly orderly like TJRC Pokot-war-crimes suspect Nkaissery of the interior ministry---- saw it fit to surround parliament with militarised police for whatever reason, the ghastliness of the situation in a democratic set-up seems to have escaped many a good head. But Amillo Gesagesa, migogo ma wuowi e dala, does not have the emasculated temperament of the eunuchs who populate the rival courts dominating Kenyan politics. These ball-less sycophants saw no evil, heard no evil, perceived no evil nor a premonition of things to come, and so stayed their forked tongues. But not Amillo of Mbita. Yes, that is my sister whom we call the Son of The Home! Even if you are a god, you will be told to sh!t off if you are doing it in the centre of the home. When a Roman General ringed the senate with his praetorian guard prior to a crucial debate, what was there to deny about the intent? The insidious chorus went O Holy One, Do thy go ahead and gladly assume the office of dictatorship And shy not, O immortal one, from exercising it to perpetuity For the fates decreed it of old, forth be you be the lord of Rome!But in the silence one could hear the swords sharpen all over Rome! Anyway, fast forward, it fell on the head of Man Amillo to bell the cat for the nation. The Muthamaki had ringed parliament with a praetorian guard, so to have the laws changed to grant him and Jubilee their 'tyranny in perpetuity'! Of course, even if the Muthamaki himself is absent of mind in what is being done in his name, the buck still passes to him and has to be told we are not yet a full-blooded banana republic. Not yet! Perhaps it is his annointed successor who will manage to rule by decree, having fulfilled a reverse evolution to become the re-incarnaion of Arap Moi, the absolute dictator of Kenya! But not yet there. From every corner of the Jubilee pockets arose the din of condemnation. I believe some very spirited ones are even suing the Mbita bull. Raila Odinga may want to share notes with his fellow prince Uhuru about it. When Raila's band of brigands who made the ODM nominations a sham by turning the issuance of legitimate certificates into an fat auction racket, thought they could swindle Millie Odhiambo off her Mbita win, they did not know they had unleashed the furies of hell. She went cultural shoppping and unearthed an old Luo curse --the equivalent of an oath by the gods on the river Styx.Pointing at the eye of the sun ---ancient Luos were a sun-worshipping people, she invoked the ancestors and dared Raila to side with the lowly scum of Orange House who had stolen her win. And she made to strip and bare the (bulls-eye) reds of her ample arse at Orange House, there to draw the wrath of The Sun and the ancestors on it forever. And that would be that. NB: Remember these ancestors include the Great Helmsman Ramogi Ajwang', atop whose tomb Raila recently stood for some inspiration. (also for a theatrical, perfunctory dig at M7) Kord leader Raila Odinga is crowned a Luo elder at Got Ramogi on Saturday/EMMANUEL And so Millie did not join the crop of cheated contestants who murmur in the shadows of Nyanza and whose rearguard action works as the slow puncture on Agwambo's ambitions. The mass of their followers subsequently boycotted the elections, and their numbers far offset the meagre margin by which Uhuruto beat Agwambo in the official tally of 2013. The much hyped tyranny of numbers is no comfort, that is why the obsession with controlling the IEBC, even to the point of risking collective suicide. I am just saying it is an easy intellectual exercise to wipe out the hypocritical horde of Jubilee attack dogs baring their fangs at Millie Odhiambo's skirt, ati she disrespected their inserminator, sperminator and dominator, the jubilee rock Uhuru Kenyatta. In the same way, when the most backward and retrogressive of Raila's ideologues came up with the creed Millie en migogo, migogo chung' dalagi nadi ka gima chwo onge!? --they soon died an unhappy intellectal death, drowned in the swamp of their corruption. ##footnoteWhat respect must the president be shown, while, in a fit of diseased greed, his sister and cousin, despite their being from the richest family in Kenya, still affect disability and collude to loot public monies from the ministry of health?That is when common sense would chorus SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! But commons sense is not all that common Welcome to planet critique, O defenders of the imperial presidency! AND NOW, ENTER JOHO! This has raised quite a hullaballoo, but it is a recurrent theme, a coastal ritual. Take a look at the instalments. And to put it all in perspective it is to get rid of Joho, to seduce and wean Mombasa off him, that his excellency Uhuru opens a footbridge! Me says: Uhuru Kenyatta, pick any slum acreage in Nairob, they are many and wide. Turn it into a mass and cheap resisdential modern estate ----what Jericho and Jerusalem were when they were launched in the 50s. Instead of you and Kibaki's family building rich-end luxury appartments on stolen Kikuyu and Maasai lands and, if Raila be believed, plotting to father aggravate Nairobi water problems by diverting dam sources to your luxury investments! But so long Kenyans, and by the milions, live in literal shit like this, footbridges costing ksh. 600M to thwart the careers of upstart populist Muslims looks just another Quixotic charge doomed to a ridiculous thud! And while you are upgrading slums your Excellency Mr. President, you will fully earn my respect if you do not do another Anne Waiguru at Kibera: corrugated toilet roofs of each sheet more expensive than 100grams of gold!PR-firms costing 60M for 30 minutes; biro pens costing parker pens; bottles of soda costing cognac, nails costing diamond pins and what have you ---Just another looting project launched with much fanfare! NB: A recent aerial footage of an architectural tale of two cities was very revealing over Nairobi. And then there are the villas where the children of the elite grow up, while their fathers preside over this abomination, where Kenyan children scavenge and rummage through dumpsites like savage wild, generic humanoid worms, miscreant miserables doomed to less than a pigsty! I make myself clear. Anybody who presides over the theft of 5 billion while children live like this in 2017 is a f.uck head. And if his name is Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, duly elected, I still state it clear, a f.uck head. Not all minds will join the national cult of mediocrity, nor refuse to speak against it. use your head for ten seconds. How many Jericho flats does 5 billion build? for starters. Weep, O child. What future under Jubilee? what future under Cord? Forget Raila and Uhuru, forget Mudavadi and Kenneth, what future under Ruto, what future under Joho!? You may want to diversify your options, spread your risks, play other cards. Just thinking.

UHURU APPENDS HIS JOHN HANCOCK, THROWS DOWN THE GAUNTLET! Good step, Mr. President. To sign into law the amendments respective the conduct of the election. It was a formality. The official debate --for all it was worth--- is over; there was due process and the necessary technicalities were ship-shape. For a government, that is what a parliamentary and senate majority is for. Own program. This is decisive action, resting on the quicksand premise of the infamous tyranny of numbers; and because it is on a cardinal issue, the General election, it takes the fight to the opposition. It is a bluff call: do your worst! That is where a new set of problems begin, but at least a stalemate has been broken and the nation can move to the next confrontational step. It is an escalation of polarisation of course, and it further strains the already weak social fabric of delicate Kenya with its known faultlines. Unashamedly we are a certified corrupt country, and like everything else we expect the elections to be rigged. There is therefore the realistic possibility, that these political manoeuvers while procedurally modern, are in essence but a facade of democracy, that parliament and the rest are just keeping up appearances --of liberal democracy. There is need for an event to test this suspicion! Could it be that behind the fanfare of one of the most modern constitutions innaugurated in Kenya, we all know between ourselves without speaking aloud, that it is just sick tribal warfare by other means? May be a mask better left unpeeled back? The opposition is correctly alarmed, but duplicitously so, they are only alarmed because they fear to be on the receiving end of the rigging. It is not a principled opposition. We can certify that from the way the opposition too conducts their nominations. RIGGING IS THE ELEPHANT IN THE KENYAN ROOM! With the signature of the president, we have now locked ourselves in. We have seven months to blow up or, Argos crew, slither through the masticating Gyrae. Methinks the contradictions between the elite are not unbridgeable. And that is the bottom line in this storm in a tea-cup. Irreconcilable differences exist between certain sectors of the Kenyan polarity YES, but these are not in forceful play in the current battle formation, as we gear toward the coming elections. The coming elections are an ELITE homerun. A done deal. The combat will be ritual, scripted. (wwf professional wrestling?) There is a sense, even a bourgeoisie sense, in which our elections are an exclusive ruling class, tag-team affair. In Kenya we can safely say they are a process where the elite gangs up in fluid teams to bang Wanjiku at ago, or in series. The Raila-Kibaki GCG, author of the now lexiconic NUSU MKATE, is an example of the former (simultaneity or at ago). In a symbiotic coalition they bang, loot, plunder abuse and degrade Wanjiku with impunity, having reduced her to a spoil, having indoctrinated her into ethnic slavery and manipulated her into offering her favours freely in the hope of patriotic redemption. -(the crop of African nationalists who took over from colonialism sure did make grand promises and arouse appetites of the African masses far and beyond, didn't they!? Kwameh Nkurumah for instance did quite articulate some hot stuff!) Those in doubt of the above characterization (of the primitive business) of the Kenyan elite hitherto, can revise their history of post-colonial Kenya. At a significant glance, the three first presidents --like the Asians Suharto and Ferdinand Marcos---- emerged the richest of all after their long tenure at political entrepreneurship. It is called primitive accumulation in sanitized political science. And this ' tropical gangsterism in state' can adequately explain why, in the same period, other countries especially in Asia, went places while even mineral-endowed republics of ours such as the Congo and oily Nigeria went under. Lo! howbeit mature leaders made their countries rich, added value and industrialized, while infants in Africa made themselves individually rich, their families fortuned, and their cronies ever more rotund, but pulverized our nations to dust, enforced grinding mass poverty, hunger and you name it. (for comparative tables where Africa is on a global range, check UN bodies that monitor the negatives, like WHO, UNCTAD, UNHCR! Or transparency international!) All those young Africans dying under sand and water in a desperate dash across the Sahara and the Mediterranean sea, what are they running from in our Africa? I restrict myself to the post-colonial period because the infamy of the colonial period proper is an obviously. THE PIT FALLS OF PAROCHIAL MASS ACTION When the threat of mass action is permanently used to merely score intra-elite-class goals, like OKOA KENYA, IEBC, or some other ruling class fixation like the latest Jubilee-filed amendments hurriedly signed by the President yesterday, there is hardly likely to be fluidity between the ethnic demarcations of the coalesced national coalitions. Were Wanjiku's priorities to honestly take center stage in the organization or push for mass action, a progressive coalition across zones would quickly emerge: But how can the oppressors organize meaningful mass action against themselves? --- Secondary school fees, a terrible burden on the mass of the people. (CDF's, county bursaries, state disburses, Matiang'i warnings to corrupt headmasters, do not seem to have an effect on this burden) --Health service reform; corruption and mortality rates; and ask the striking docs for more. ---Inflation, water health, general earnings and over taxation (due to overbearing debt squeeze); stipends for poverty-stricken aged loners; urban housing and a serious slum eradication program. A new binding deal for the disillusioned urban youth festering in gangs. Remember there was money allocated for slum-upgrade and NYS national youth mobilisation. -That is the money Anne Waiguru and Josephine Kabura disappeared. --How about mass action behind candidate Ngatia: hang them with guitar wires at Uhuru park live? Today the courts are ordering the arrest of Union leaders, doctors asking for a 2013 CBA to be honored. But Muraguri who presided over the theft of 5 billion at Mafia house is free! Very upside down but you wont hear Kalonzo, Mudavadi and Raila succinctly on that. Of course mass action organiser, professor anyang' Nyong'o, once sacked all striking doctors and nurses when he was minister in the department! So it is good his mouth is well shut on the strike. And perhaps it was he who did not leave structures in place which would guarantee the 2013 CBA was anchored in law! A mass action on a minimum SPECIFIC bipartisan agenda to enact legislation forcing the cabinet to resolutions on corruption would be a hit, public surveys say so, but that would mean nearly every governor interdicted, wouldn't it? So these mass actions organized by the elite are necessarily storms in a tea-cup. They are shallow in scope, limited in agenda. Thinking about the general interest of society in a programmatic sense is only a lip service for these gentlemen. And even when the lip service is put to paper as in a manifesto, once they are in power, the cannibalistic politicians soon show their illiteracy and amnesia. To this purpose it may be important to pay a short visit to the adventures of the auditor general Edward Ouko in OppositionLand Nyanza. Let the elite misuse and underuse the concept of mass action for their parochial intra class skirmishes. The only positive is they serve to ingrain the term mass action in the consciousness of the land and peoples of the land. It will embed and ripen there, waiting for a time to flower in full.

[quote author=" jakaswanga" source="/post/134669/thread" timestamp="1484069859" RIGGING IS THE ELEPHANT IN THE KENYAN ROOM! With the signature of the president, we have now locked ourselves in. We have seven months to blow up or, Argos crew, slither through the masticating Gyrae. Methinks the contradictions between the elite are not unbridgeable. And that is the bottom line in this storm in a tea-cup. Irreconcilable differences exist between certain sectors of the Kenyan polarity YES, but these are not in forceful play in the current battle formation, as we gear toward the coming elections. The coming elections are an ELITE homerun. A done deal. The combat will be ritual, scripted. (wwf professional wrestling?) THE PIT FALLS OF PAROCHIAL MASS ACTION When the threat of mass action is permanently used to merely score intra-elite-class goals, like OKOA KENYA, IEBC, or some other ruling class fixation like the latest Jubilee-filed amendments hurriedly signed by the President yesterday, there is hardly likely to be fluidity between the ethnic demarcations of the coalesced national coalitions. Were Wanjiku's priorities to honestly take center stage in the organization or push for mass action, a progressive coalition across zones would quickly emerge: But how can the oppressors organize meaningful mass action against themselves?Let the elite misuse and underuse the concept of mass action for their parochial intra class skirmishes. The only positive is they serve to ingrain the term mass action in the consciousness of the land and peoples of the land. It will embed and ripen there, waiting for a time to flower in full.

"When such parties are questioned on the economic programme of the state that they are clamouring for, or on the nature of the regime which they propose to install, they are incapable of replying, because, precisely, they are completely ignorant of the economy of their own country." www.marxists.org/subject/africa/fanon/pitfalls-national.htm 2nd red high light teacher already said "The central problem is this: How can the oppressed, as divided, unauthentic beings, participate in developing the pedagogy of their liberation? Only as they discover themselves to be “hosts” of the oppressor can they contribute to the midwifery of their liberating pedagogy. As long as they live in the duality in which to be is to be like, and to be like is to be like the oppressor, this contribution is impossible. The pedagogy of the oppressed is an instrument for their critical discovery that both they and their oppressors are manifestations of dehumanization. Liberation is thus a childbirth, and a painful one. " selforganizedseminar.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/freire_pedagogy_oppresed1.pdf

THE MUTHAMAKI STANDS UP AND GRABS SWORD, FENCES IT would appear if you kick a lazy dog hard and long enough, it will show fang in self defence. I like the fangs Ouru Kenyatta is baring, coming out of his corner with savage growls. But all the passion and heat miss the historical point ---sparking the industrial revolution he preached at his inauguration. That is a salient point but not the one to make for now. The comprador as a Kenyan ruling class are not exactly the creed you make your deepest points with. We are a periphery economy with our Central Bank and currency at the beck and call of other peoples instruments like the IMF.How much of our generated wealth do we expend in repatriations for debt management (servicing and repay)? Here is a micro economical glimpse to ponder in context Then the debt trap. Brilliant he be, but putting all this stuff in context, even our whizzkid Patrick Njoroge becomes underwhelmed! He is just a good deathrow doc! Well, in this idle-labour fix you could say we need a serious plan. But serious plans need serious people, and then to put them into practice, even more serious people. I know they have now been trashed to pulp, but assume for nefarious purposes we stick with the narrative of Matiang'i and Magoha as able and diligent, then serious means we are talking Matiang'i and Magoha go-getter types as heads of any and every office you might chance across in the bureaucracy. --From your local Assistant Jaduong' Gweng' (Mlango Kumi head) to Assistant Chief, Chief, D.O, etc etc
... all the rungs up, up to the President's office. Just plane old competence in a NEW ECONOMIC DEAL. Yes, economic deal new. In world economic history, this emergence of competence or meritocracy as a general rule, is what is called the bourgeoisie revolution. This is the doctrine of the renaissance, capitalist revolution which overthrew feudalism and its monarchist and aristocratic political component, to institute industrialisation and party politics in the Motherlands, but enslavement and colonialism in the New World. The disinvesting plunder which continues in Africa to this day. Therefore Now, if that statistic is true, the implications are horrible. So horrible I will hold for now, scared. As a petty bourgeoisie comprador criticus and Kenyan, I am entitled to mental laziness. So I will probably tackle the implications head-on on the Luo pivot! There I feel no need to bembeleza anybody, even God's baby Jesus. But in Kenya I like to joke and have fun. Kenyatta's boy who has been calling for heshima and decorum on public podia, has apparently given up on gloved charges. He is gotten mean, personal, bloody cold, nasty and ferocious. Obviously the ethnic algorithms of NASA has rattled him. And he has responded in kind: Matusi, chuki, magawanyiko.A famous 80s and 90s band from Tanzania, known as DDC Milimani Park, did a song with the following line: Kutukanana mbele za watu si jambo jema, kuna hatari ya kuwafundisha watoto tabia mbaya.And the response went like: Poa wewe, mpenzi wangu, nimekusikia aa, nahidi mbele yako, nitajirekebisha ee
I can't remember the name of the song, but here below is the band on another tune, doctors' strike like! -HURUMA KWA WAGONJWA. Now, here is the Kenyatta unleashed. Fencing fiercely with murderous drive and killer instinct tipped. 12:30 ' Wengine wamekuwa serikalini zaidi ya miaka ishirini, na hakuna lolote wamefanya! Mungu msamehe hawa watu, hawajui wanachokisema!' --Ouru Kenyatta. 'Matusi na chuki tuwachie hawa, sisi hatuna chuki na wao. Wakitutusi, sisi tunasema tumewasamehe! Sisi hatuna haja ya kujibia matusi yao!' And then, he can't help himself but deliver the ultimate matusi! 24:40: ' Yazemwa: kukimbizana na mwenda wazimu wa soko, watu hawawezi kutambua nani ni nani! Wacha wenda wazimu watembee tembee, wakimbie sokoni, uchi wake uonekane,' He has reduced the opposition and their key campaigner, his fellow prince Raila, to a mad dog running helter-skelter in the voter market, headless and agendaless! That is as nasty as it gets. A mud fest. But it has an underhand psychological tease. When Miguna Miguna critiqued Raila in a Luo domestic in which ill-fitting masks were peeled back, Amollo used the metaphor of mad man. Miguna for all his faults is too articulate to be a village mad man, lest in the sense of a far-seer. But a nuisance and fool is what Raila preferred to pitch him for, all for the benefit of public ridicule and laughter to finish him off. Ouru Kenyatta now turns the tables and points to Agwambo as the market mad man of Kenya. It is dark. Ach, it is a royal family feud about power. Two aristocratic lineages at it, enlisting the people only as figurantes. But as scoring petty propaganda points against his opponents, these passionate and furious deliveries are good stuff. They indicate the royals know the belly of the beast is restless, and they must up their game, deliver a better show, a nastier ritual fight. The pressure is on. On Joho for instance. And the son of Jomo did deliver: -- chattering mouth Orengo was land's minister and issued countless fake certificates which abetted land theft at the coast! And you don't hear Joho and Kingi about that! Kalonzo Musyoka who slaved for him during the ICC days looking for deferral and referral, Kenyatta denounced as a do-nothing and time-waster, an old prostitute better retired to god knows which hell! Raila, the hero of the second liberation and bringer of devolution, Kenyatta branded a bitter, petty, small-minded useless toad; a silly and senile mad man. Mudavadi, his former running mate in those KANU days!? he he he! He just laughed, no doubt reliving how they duped him into abandoning ODM at the eleventh hour 2013: shetani ashindwe! Wetangula does not come into the picture. Too useless for presidential scorn. Ruto is the guy who likes to drive it in --yule jamaa ya kuchapuachapua na bibi, na kulialia mtaani!'Talk about 'matusi tuwachie hawa!' Uhuru Kenyatta is the Muthamaki of Matusiland! He sets the standard, tying with Sister GesaGesa! But if his turning of tables on Raila with respect to the mad man epithet is a dark psychological tease, it occurs to me CULTURE is inadvertently announcing one of its own psychological teases. On the rebound, on the inverse, imagine a decided man climbing the dais and speaking to Kenyans with equivalent passion and fury, even hate and venom, denouncing corrupt people who pretend they can lead Kenya to greener pastures, mentioning names like say William Ruto of Lang'ata/Weston landgrab, pulling no punches and going for the jugular with documentation! --(Yes, the web of graft is all documented in Kenya and publicly available!) Imagine a serious man, decided man, waving those documents in front of a Kenyan political mob, like a matador a red lap at a wounded bull, -- 'nyinyi mnaishi kwa mafi -Ngomongo, Kibera, Kawangware, Sewage Estate you name it! na hawa wezi na pesa zenu zenye wameiba, wanajenga mavilla, mahoteli, na wananua Dubai yote na mabibi zenu kama mpango wa kando! --Sasa iko shida gani tukiwapeleka Uhuru Park saa huu, na kama Candidate Ngatia ameamua, kamba ya gita wacheze sina makosa, juu zaidi!'Eh, Kings O Kings, you fan firs whose quench you fathom not! I am saying, you charlatan politicians better heed DDC Mlimani park. Kutukanana mbele ya watu si jambo jema, inahatari ya kufungua Sanduku ya Pandora.
And the refrain to take serious
. ' Mpinzani wangu, nimekusikia, nahidi toka leo, nitajirekebisha
'A bit of Kibaki curse: F.ucking c.unts of the mother of red goats! making a mess bleeding themselves reckless in public. Beware, thee royals, historical litter ripe for the sewage flush! Culture, damn I flee! Talk about an idea whose time has come!
