Yawa Bwana Godec! 60M kende!? Even sh!tbag politicians in sh!thole republics have their pride! I know the American taxpayer is hard-up. Barrack Obama fleeced him&her to the bone to bail out his Wall-Street banker friends and DP-party financers, but still, the American people love their global empire and they must pay, up! Empires don't come cheap, and these days toward a multi-polar world, even less cheap! So the prefect Godec: pay up or shut up! You are buying out careers stalled by two rigged elections, just to omit the stifled aspirations of Wanjiku which go with it! The buy-out must at least be a conservative more than the cost of the two sham elections! That is the minimum I would negotiate! NB: Latest is the swearing-in is a dodo.

A NARRATIVE FROM HELLKNH CEO Lily Koros explains something to Health CS Mailu on his visit to the hospital on Friday/MOSES MUOKI Then your official government spokesperson goes on air and, on the Trumpian Sh!thole remark, declares the American President excluded Kenya from his sights when he made the stinking qualification at our sorts of land, and peoples. Lucky us the civilised Island in the sea of Sh!tholes, a moment of delusion may disperse ones wits as one concurs with flattery state propaganda on the cheap. Alas! Reality re-enforces itself without mirth. Then your remember where people like Eric Owino Kiraithe come from: the Kenya Harvard college off the Karatina-Naro Moru road. Their believability tends to be zero which is not to say Man Noah Esipisu with his Bel-Portinger polish is any better. If wishes were horses lies would be true and not only beggars would fly! But Lily Koros beats them all. She is the current CEO here/ When the story of sexual molestations of lactating mums descending to the nursery first surfaced, Lillian didn't bother to fact-find. She denied them vehemently. Of course we know all authority likes to live in denial; after all F red Maatiang'i was on air denying the police were on a killing spree within NASA strongholds protesting the electoral rigging of Uhuru Kenyatta, even as the killings too were being aired live on TV; Anne Waiguru too denied there had been no NYS cash-looting, but we know truckloads of 2bn hard cash evaporated to offshore accounts. And of course Treasuryman Rotich is always denying a cash crunch even as he frantically knocks every bank door for credit and is ready to accept shark-rates of interest repay. So why do I say Lily Koros is your CEO from hell in a country featuring the likes of Wafula Chebukati!? It is because of the nature of the crime. It isn't just rape. Matiang'i's strangely named security forces are, election chaos in progress, documented raping women in front of their children in the recent Human Watch report. So is the KDF just about anywhere. Rape is the currency of state thuggery then. But this is about an academic hospital, civilians, and women after childbirth, their wombs still in repair, like in the aftermath of a Caesarean. Then the added morbidity, the morgue and dead bodies business. (Of course the darkness of man's heart: admitted beautiful women will be drugged and shipped from the wards to the morgue as dead. Then, switched on and off with drugs, held prisoner there for the entertainment of Hades and his assistants. When impunity rules, it rules everywhere!)Then surely elementary decency wants to get to the bottom of the case. Lillian Koros is a woman too, supposedly I guess. Now the worms are crawling out of the opened can. It is a hospital of horrors. And Koros has no Menoah Esipisu's nor Eric Kiraithe's to lie her out of this sh!thole. One notes Cleopa Mailu was more guarded. He did not deny outright the allegations when they first surfaced. May be as an ordinary doc he did rounds long ago at the Hospital, and heard the tales. He had the decency to order an investigation. But then, mediocrity catches up with us again and it is a cycle. Who will investigate? The Kiganjo guys who can't catch Jacob Juma's killers, Muhando and Ngumbu's executors? Or the hospital security staff who, vastly male, are being implicated in the morbid gangbangs? So what do we do now as a nation? Stare the truth of ourselves in the mirror like Dracula Vampires, see ourselves for what we are publicly, make concrete steps to revitalise our moral selves, re-discover our historical personality, live with a semblance of institutionalised private and public dignity, OR do we continue OSTRICH STYLE, take fake pride in our SH!THOLE republic, whilst we leave it to God to bring the improvements? In such a background of moral compasslessness and institutional rot, even tragi-comic to farcical events like the scheduled swearing-in of Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka have deeper meaning. Women of Africa! They are raped in their homes, raped on the streets, raped in police cells, raped in academic hospitals, raped in schools, raped in rape camps (Congo and Libya), and the narrative is all Africa rising! Bethink thee, thinkers of the continent! I have a hollow feeling in my guts. When the real Africa stands up, and dignity is re-discovered, rapists of all walks and life and the CEO's of rape-dens regardless of their sex, will have solid bamboo poles driven through them from sh!hole to thorax. Lets do a referendum about it and find out what the people think! I have noticed on social media they want the fallen angel Lillian Chepkorir Koros burnt alive. That hint at a volcanic moral outrage need must be pondered. But power wont. Confident in its invincibility, arrogant in its almightiness. NAIROBI, Kenya, Apr 9 - Eighty two aliens have been deported to Somalia in the ongoing crackdown following increased terror threats. Interior Cabinet Secretary Nkaissery saidWho wants to follow up whether somewhere along the line of deportation, hot chics were separated from chaff for a bit of old fashioned distribution of spoils? --No, let sleeping tales, like dogs, lie!

TEACHING NGUGI WA THIONG'O part 1.It made front page, Raila's offside remark in Kaleoland, that Ruto needs him, Agwambo, to be president. Agwambo of course has an unrivalled talent for wading through Kenya's subconscious and rattling sleeping dogs which, like sleeper bombs, start to tick and tock when stepped upon. So, for the love of Octopuszy juice, or sh!thole vegetable oils, why did this --on the surface of it----- very silly remark become national Big News? Could it be that the coming presidential vote in 2022 will still be an influence battle between the Lakeland Prince and his rival, The Mountain Prince and current King? But there is this theme made famous by Ngugi wa Thiong'o, narrated as the FALSE START at Uhuru, back in 1963. We already mentioned a bit of it in A GRAIN OF WHEAT. The result was the institutionalisation of betrayal in the young republic. This complex remains to me, an instructive departure point to understand these matters Raila rattles us with. Of course Raila may just have been bluffing the likes of Kalonzo and Mudavadi back to line, but still he manages an unintended bull's eye elsewhere. BETRAYAL AND INDEPENDENCE When a morally upright Jaramogi Odinga self-sacrificed in his famous call --UHURU NA KENYATTA, no sooner had that come to pass, than supremacists from the House of Mumbi, specifically the Kiambu mafia around Jomo Kamau The Father, accosted Jaramogi with laughter and ridicule at his foolishness (or was it his misguided high-mindedness)? Howbeit too, it was the same derisive laughter with which the HOMEGAURDS had accosted the returning Mau Mau fighters from the forests. --You have lost your women, land and lives, fools! What did you fight for, losers!?(Jomo Kenyatta would later famoulsy jest Bildad Kagia in much the same terms in public! Kaggia was the David Ndii of that period I muse! -- Uhuru Kenyatta offered a fat job to David Ndii's wife, expecting loyalist behaviour in return! When that didn't materialise, State House sent attack dog Fred Matiang'i to sniff the knickers of Ndii's wifea and reveal all! NB: Of course we have since learnt our capo at interior does more than sniff knickers at his SDA choir local! Oh Nay, he tears them off with his bare teeth off young butt and chews them like curd while he miaws like a wild cat! Praise the Lord! Passions are passions!But that is a story for another day!) BETRAYAL AS THE CULTURAL NORMThis bitter reality drove Ngugi wa Thiong'o into a radical cultural analysis of his people. -WHY? So deep was this crisis, culturally speaking, it unearthed a Gikuyu as Kenya's leading historical novelist. So profound is this betrayal felt within the consciousness of the house of Mumbi, that it ranks as an emotional existential crisis, a trauma of dignity and identity. And from thence depths again, springeth the brilliant Maina wa Kinyatti, as a MOLY, ie antidote against historical depersonalisation of the dignity of Mumbi's sons who did the most honourable thing: fight the colonial oppressor at maximum price.Calling freedom fighters fools and laughing at them is the world upside down. And Ngugi's mind was game on it. So was Maina wa Kinyatti's. This paradox testifies to the health of Gikuyu dignity. Kept alive by Mumbi's most articulately fearsome minds. And even today, there is something particularly superior, farcically so, about David Ndii which reminds me of the calm superiority of Ngugi over the sycophants and parasites of the Kenyatta court then! I should say here that The Mungiki is a symptom of this deep rot up the MK elite! FAST FORWARD Then, leaving Jaramogi's humiliation at the hands of the Kiambu oathers and other power-brokers displaced from their natural dignity, there again was, over four decades later, another Odinga confronting the house of Mumbi with another dental array to kick-in! --KIBAKI TOSHA! The uncut fool yelled for the greater good of getting rid of Daniel Arap Moi! (and of course myopic trust on an MOU written on a toilet paper!) Howbeit No sooner was Kibaki in power than he never heard of Raila Odinga campaigning for him nor TOSHARING him. It was all MAVI YA KUKU JINGA UPUZI to Emilio. This kind of stuff, serial betrayal once in power, is embedded in Kenya's psyche, and ticks like an ache in the heart ever sensitive to pokes, even if we do not admit it in scripts for school. Those are the doctored scripts of the curriculum which produces these young ladies whose only dreams are to be parasites, whether as slay-queens or as pampered sponcy's.HOW ARE THE KALENJIN ARMED AGAINST THE POSSIBLE TREACHERY BY MK ELITES?Anyway, students of culture and nationalisms like yours truly, have been chiding the Kalenjin hot heads some, over a beer or two, whenever we meet over KNUT/KUPPET or UASU business .... Or children's bedtime story-stuff like this lullaby from Nancy Macharia, the anti-Sossion robot. Yes, sh!t always happens in arz-hole regimes! Teachers Service Commission CEO Nancy Macharia answer questions from head teachers of various schools on the second day of Kenya Primary Schools Head Teachers Association (KEPSHA) 13th annual delegates conference at Sheikh Zayed Centre in Mombasa, December 05, 2017. [PHOTO:GIDEON MAUNDU/STANDARD]. So, the kidding goes: Now that the workhorse William Ruto has done the donkey work twice for Jomo's son, what depths of foolproofing has Kalenjin nationalism gone to, to inoculate against the Mount Kenya pit of betrayal unto which the naive Luos have twice fallen into, under an Odinga!? I have a Kalenjin mate who loves to answer this question without batting an eyelid. -'Luos are not circumcised', she tells me, her palms on my thighs. 'Kikuyus know we Kalenjins are circumcised. You can not come to us, after betrayal, with stupid stories about peace and let bygones be bygones. If Kikuyu's don't vote for William Ruto, they will leave the Rift Valley to a dead dog,a nd carry their fresh bones along! You Luos have a deluded sense of the self. Your vanities can be used to flatter, and trap thee into stupid nonsense, like accepting loss in a rigged election for the sake of peace and common Kenyan good. We Kalenjins are practical. Let Kenya go to hell if we loose in a rigged election, or if we are betrayed by a people we have served, to the letter of our part of the bargain!
Kikuyu's understand this perfectly! We are not Luos. We wont throw stones in cities. We will just evict or every Kikuyu in the rift. Kikuyu's have it all in their hands, the vote!' NB: The Kenyan journalists are at it again. -Take a look at the following report, holding in mind what happened at Jamhuru High School Nairobi yesterday, and HOW it was reported. Do I know something about Kiambu county, and its pro-Kiambu people employment policies!? But the thing is, it is like THESTANDARD is skirting around the issue, what really is happening in Uashin Gishu! That is why I had to find Kalenjin teachers from Uashin Gishu and Eldoret, to decode for me why Kikuyu politicians from far-away Nakuru and Nairobi are breathing fire at Mandago and his akaris! O yeah! Now it has been broken down for me! People don't censor themselves on the dusty roads of Uasin Gishu and Nandi county! -Just like they don't at Muthurwa Market Nairobi! (MJALUO HAPA NI MGENI! ATAKIMYA AMA ATAKUFA! HAPA NI KAMWANA PEKEE!) But to continue TheStandard's hyperbolic skirting of reality Well, why don't we open up the cabinet for international competitiveness? The current horror in mediocrity put inp lace by Uhuru Kenyatta a few hours ago, ati Kenyan cabinet, surely argues against local exclusivity in whatever form, even the Kiambu Baba Yao patriotics So too in Uasin Gishu! Protectionism by other name. It is important to note, that even for the mature bourgeoisie, a most historically revolutionary class, free market is for capital but not labour! Capital moves around the globe in a flash, but you, labourer, even highly-skilled, take a look at the VISA lines, and passport application black outs! It is important to understand this political economy before one yells at small men like Baba Yao Waititu, or his other radical soulmate, Uashin Gishu Mandago! You heard Trump! -why should we take these immigrants from sh!thole counties! And that is not an ISOLATED SENTIMENT! GERMANY FOR GERMANS! Deutschland für die deutschen = KIAMBU FOR KIAMBUS! And just outside Brussels, Barbarians from afar are warned: OUR PEOPLE FIRST! And if you are of PAKI origins in the United Kingdom, the United may not include you! HMM Just that you take deep thought before you nail Ferdinand Waititu on the cross of Xenophobia! But now you know what will happen if Kamwana's people don't vote Sir William nor Mr. Gideon!

That was some time ago. Before January 30th. Well, times have changed, the American prefect is exercising powers he nolonger has in reality. He is a bit of a figurehead like a constitutional monarch ---You see ever since Mwai Kibaki looked East, and along with it, our business, you always have an idea you are better off knowing what the Chinese are thinking before you bother with the Americans. And to date, the Chinese are holding their cards close to their chests as usual. That gives a comical perspective to the following signatories. Foreign envoys led by US's Robert Godec address the press in Nairobi on October 23, 2017. FILE Is it FOREIGN ENVOYS OR WHITE?Here is an idea of the statement By who really? When is the last time anybody heard the prefect mention something called BLACK LIVES MATTER, and the why of it over there at Trumpland?

Take a look at this Who is your daddy now!? Do these figures say Godec and his American pocket rule Kenya? me I think these figures say Godec is Old Glory, playing King where power, money talks, belongs to someone else! But the bottom line is: Kenyan politicians don't run the show in Kenya. --Omera Ouru, Omera Raila, can you think it!? I am game!

THE FULL CABINET IS NOW OPERATIVE, UHURUTOGood. At least his thinking is clear in what he wants to do. Always commendable to set ones priorities, even if they are ritual New Year resolutions like stopping smoking, destined to last half a day. Anyway there was, yesterday as cabinet business at last came to an end, a palpable sense of basal anxiety around Muigai's tone, that the clock is ticking on his time, and haste must he make on his legacy to be. -The way he bundled Professor Kobia unceremoniously after the swearing-in! Poor girl could only smile in confusion as it dawned on her she is neither a master of her time nor agenda, but on someone else's beck and call. Instructive moment that. But, there could also be panic upstairs of course. How? There is this formal reality of a Jubilee one-party state in parliament, yet, ouside, is an alternative centre of informal, opposition power, complete with a peoples president, the father of the second liberation himself, sworn-in PUBLICLY at Uhuru park holding a Bible aloft, a historic BIBLE which is now ascertained was not FAKE! --Yes, I have been around Africa and is no stranger to the cynical ruthlessness of her politicians. Some superstitious ones don't swear with genuine Holy Books so as to exempt themselves beforehand, from holy commitments mouthed in the aoth. And by the way, while I have ascertained Raila's Bible was genuine, I haven't gotten dead assurances the one CJ Maraga used with Uhuru Kenyatta, was not fake. If anybody sees CJ Maraga, please ask him. Tell him people who have been around Africa suspect the bible could have been fake, which is way the Uhuruto regime handles the courts with such contempt. They didn't really swear with the real Bible to uphold the constitution. -If Africa interests you enough to study her politicians, you will discover three countries whose Presidents swore with fake instruments, yet genuine and binding tribal oaths of their ethnic groups! With such precedents, I don't bother to think presidential oaths in Africa are necessarily anything more than cynical moments of intended mass tomfoolery. Until proven otherwise. If Maraga holds his tongue, I will continue my doubting Tom thoughts. Understanding power dictates no illusions whatsoever in the head. The two oaths of the two presidents of the multi-state Kenya, could both be KALONGOLONGO! The peoples president thingy may be a KALONGOLONGO children's fantasy enacted in Wonderland where Alice Amollo can be all she wants to be, but so too is the 98% electoral legitimacy from the 34% voter-turn-out, upon which the 2nd term of Uhuru Kenyatta is based. The first GE of 8/8/17 was of course the famous VIFARANGA figures. They were concocted from the severed fingers of Chris Musando, IEBC ICT man. What was he doing tripping around puszies late at night around a dangerous town if not asking for it, fellow Luoman Tuju suggested to the BBC. Well, former spokesman Kinoti who replaced the cover-up artist Muhooro at CID headquarters, is making haste elsewhere apart from these hot cold cases. The bet is more of the same exited Ndegwa. TWO KALONGOLO PRESIDENTS, OR A TRAGEDY IN THE MAKING?It is a tale of two fantasies, two KALONGOLONGO circus events, that of the duly elected official president of the republic of Kenya, Ouru, and that of the duly sworn-in Peoples president of the (peoples?) republic of Kenya, Amollo. And then there is the Big Story: this is the contested ownership of our immediate fate: The Dragon from the East versus the White Eagles. The Eagles are now more like frenzied scavengers on their former colonial carcass, Africa! (The fire of the dragon' breath is inching too close up their Western ivory tower, and they forget themselves as we have seen when the American Robert Godec, apparently their dominator, wheeled them out to read riot acts around town to recalcitrant natives). What a merry retro show! But where there is --rumours of two republics in one--- smoke, there is a fire underneath. So let us get used to the idea of two republics in one, until one of these: abortion, still birth, meiosis, or, yes, mitosis. Separation, the one Dr. David Ndii opts as divorce, like I warned earlier, could be as velvet as Czhekia and Slovakia, as nightmarish as Sudan and Sudan, Ethiopia and Eritrea; and too, as bloody genocidal an abortion as Biafra the Nigerian, Novorussia the Ukrainian, or Tchechenia the Russian, etc etc; Separation can also be as long-drawn as Kurdistan from the Pico-Sykes cage if not the Ottoman's embrace, or, wonder be wonder, DIVORCE can eventually be surrealistically as unnecessary, as unthinkable as the CANTONS of Switzerland voting independence. They are already ompletely autonomous, yet Swiss. They look at the monster next door called the European Union, and think, what a Barbarian 'Soviet Union', an undemocratic Union of Neanderthals and financial troglodytes like Mario Draghi! --While the Swiss are addicted to referenda, the EU bureaucracy does not consider referendum a tool of democracy! So the boot came down hard on Catalonia, and Greece (when they put on a referendum on the austerity package dictated by the Troika!). But the idea of printing-press-men like the ECB Liraman Draghi taking over Swiss Banks! Now you get the point why, whereas the Swiss are actually, in the main, ethnic Germans, Italians, French, joining any big brother next door in the name of Greater Italy or Germany or France is their idea of a one way ticket to the stone age! So what is the fire around Kenya!? the fires which stokes only the fumes of stupidity to intoxicate us with stupid politics!? It is the mediocrity of state performance. Past, present, and predicted tomorrow. It is a Herculean feat to have a people willingly be shepherded to their economic ruin and progeny doom. Downstairs in Kenya, if you peel off the thin layer of the shining elite, is a nightmare of impoverishment and medieval squalor. SLUMS O SLUMS! And they know they are going nowhere under this republic, and worse, their children, they instinctively feel, are prisoners in a tomb of doom. cOME heaven come! Quenching this fire, appeasing this desire, is beyond the KALONGOLONGO politics of Raila Odinga, and beyond the KALONGOLONGO priorities of Uhuru Kenyatta. But a positive thought. We don't have to go to war to stop a KALONGOLONGO party! This is where the hustler William Ruto comes in, as the last of the fantasists. If The Singh's instincts have not deserted him like one the gods wish to destroy, then Sir William will know THERE MUST BE A NEW DEAL for the common man, and the deal is best before the next election. Otherwise even his own Kalenjin will be driving Ouru Kenyatta's Kikuyus from the rift valley. Everybody saw the rehearsals in Eldoret. Kiroho, watu wametengana. That is why Kihalanga and Matiang'i can ublinkingly say Miguna Miguna is not a Kenyan. That kind of offialdom grit informs you the heart is already locked in a certain format. And what do we in turn say in Kisumu? Miguna Miguna is a citizen of the peoples republic ---even if GOD HIMSELF SPOKE FROM HEAVEN AND SAID NO! MIGUNA POD EN MARWA, JAKARWAKA! GIN GIN GIN, WAN WAN WAN! Hakuna shida. It is two repubics in one, the rest is keeping up appearances. Like a smiling David Maraga, yet disrobed (his court orders ignored), given the black spot (Raphael Tuju's letter), but still pretending steady as she goes! May be he has to secure good retirement perks like Githu Muigai! The elite takes care of their own. Meaning ... Priorities, aah, priorities!

The note of anxiety about legacyWould, chapter six the integrity clause were not buried. Then would I now think much of Kenyatta's words. But thinking of Waiguru and the NYS heist, and the law which exempted the SECURITY SERVICES FROM HAVING THEIR ACCOUNTS AUDITED BY THE AUDITOR GENERAL!
... I say the oath was on a fake Biblia!
Waiting for the season of the serious!

IT IS THE ECONOMY STUPID AND OTHER STORIESI like the saying, it is the economic crisis which un-does orders. This implies I should be spirited to explain the downfall of the Arap-Moi KANU regime, in terms of an economic crisis. An important detail is, Moi ended up in an cornered dead. On the money side, his regime was squeezed out of the international credit market. Neither could he find alternative funders nor benefactors elsewhere. Commercial lenders, even those wont to offer shark-rates of interest to a desperate clientele, couldn't take the risk with the KANU state. It was too corrupt, inefficient, unstable and visibly doomed. Then the internal dynamics too had radically changed. After many years under the boot and mostly under the radar resistance (Think Mwakenya and the rest), the Kenyan citizen at large had enough of Baba Moi. There was an angry, hungry and malicious look on local faces. A monster was brooding, tickled, weighing its chance to pounce. And then during mobilised, mass demonstrations, the police saw the power of the gun had reached its limitations before the power of the people. What else but the dictator had to pretend the benevolence of granting multi-party politics. This was in deed a freeing up of the political space. It psychologically diffused a lot of toxicity suffocating Kenya. We could once more breath in our country. For a while. FF: WTF 2018+?Today, Under Kibaki's successor Uhuru Kenyatta, the contours of a repeat crisis are self-evident. But the Jubilee regime's peacock dance to seduce credit, even if a tard unfeathery, is still, given the subscription rates to the latest Eurobond soap, mesmerising enough to ride mate. Then there is the factor of China being effectively a guarantor benefactor, her massive infrastructure loans more or less turning Kenya into her fiefdom like Tibet or the New Territory Xanjing --the colonised land of the Uighurs. That imperial --RENMINBI-- stamp (or commercial footprint) of Beijing, goes a long way in calming the nerves of scavengers who may already be seeing nothing but dried-up bones, like Moody's was hinting the other day in its solitary downgrade. China's punch also forces the competition -like the IMF and the WB--- to tone down their scavengerial hysteria. So the ship currently weathers storms, or, specifically, keeps the appearance of weathering the storms. The Kenyan treasury reminds of the Flying Dutchman, the ship of legend that never sank nor went anywhere. It spun and just spun around, forever in a black hole. Man Gado is still at . That is he, Godfrey Mwapembwa, the cartoonist whose sharpness rubbed the sensitive souls wielding power the wrong way, leading to his excommunication from local platforms. But Gado remains Kenya's favourite peep at power, and Boy O Boy, why o why? uhuru drunk, Gado cartoonIn his recent photoshot capturing the obscenity behind the scenes, we see as above, a Muthamaki passed out on too much power drink, a lazy hand up Matiang'is rears, running him a fiery muppet. But the catch is William the sly Singh, aka Ruto the looter.WILLIAM RUTO BETWEEN GREED AND POWER THIRST Sensing instability and enough turbulence to cast doubts upon his planned ascension to the pinnacle of looting, aka the presidency, the Singh's instincts of survival force him to the short-termism of looting to the maximum while he still he can. - A bird at hand wisdom. But on the other hand, is his vanity for power too, itself a greed no less driven than the wealth pathology. This latter need must pander to long term visions. This one recognises the KANU ancien regime is no fall-back position. His succession plan must have a CREDIT GAME PLAN. Because his term, projectively, will be awash with a plethora of MATURING LOANS accrued from the debt-binged Uhuru tenure, some called Eurobond dues, but, with above 40% of state expenditures already pegged to the loan portfolio now, anything less than an 8% growth rate the year, will be flat tyres for his rule. In this dilemma, we have seen the Singh come out blazing guns to defend the reputation of the government in thrift. For sooth he has done so with virgin passion! He has been doing this in the wake of the road show, the peacock dance, to hawk the latest Eurobond across the dollar-pegged Earth! This show has focussed attention on Kenya's debt pile and the debate about its health, and our credit worthiness. For William Ruto, aka Kipchirchir Singh, to be the robust defender of the Jubilee regime's financial sobriety, is of course the joke of the decade! He has to resort to nothing but lies. This is instructive. This cooking of books! Lying about the state of your books is very different from the usual propaganda for a gullible peasant audience in the rurals. Unlike peasants, and even Wanjiku, capitalist lenders will go through your books with a microscope, and make their own minds. Rate as you pay, not as you promise to pay! ---The Singh will get this jolting bolt soon enough! The last Eurobond, 2bn euros, went up in smoke. Lets say, in the tabloid words of the former Mr. Euro describing why the Southern European countries were such an indebted mess, Jubilee Kenya spent the loans and bonds on BABES AND BOOZE. A new breed of social parasite called the SLAY QUEEN or sponcy, came into existence to cater for this opportunity in the market. The NASA zones no less notorious, with their excellecies the governors real Greeks. Then his German counterpart grinned in support as the Siestazoners woke up in fury to denounce the Northern racism: 'So you didn't blow it all away!? Show us the books then, so we see where you spend it all on! I don't even ss a pile of sh!t you Southerners built!'And, like the day Jesus challenged the mob, that an innocent one should cast the first stone, the storm from the South died! Anyway As I heard president in waiting William Ruto robustly defend the Jubilee 'debt sanity' and sanctity of her accounting records, I remembered the controversy surrounding the first eurobond issue, not to mention other accounting scandals like the NYS-Waiguru scam, and thought, there glares the holes in William's mind and, like in a Korsakov or other faded-memory pathologies, he has to confabulate or, undeveloped brain case, childishly lie. -Tragic, really. NB: I remember the leading financial lights of the Uthamaki regime couldn't come out fair and square on the Eurobond. Finance Minister Rotich couldn't specify what it had done, and CBK Njoroge developed a convenient deaf- and dumbness faced with questions thereto. A journalist named Sarah Elderkin took them much to task. Jukwaa archives will testify. Ruto has to distance himself from Uthamaki rot of course, like Gore from Clinton. It is a standard paradox of incestuous sucessions. Yes, Godfrey Mwapemba pinned the Singh on his lie. He has been following the money, its the economy stupid, or is it the cash in the safe silly!?Foking Tzder! Good riddance just like that Canadian Miguna! FOOTNOTE ONE: With Raila Odinga dithering like broken wings, unable to find uselful employ nor pragmatically cash-in his new buoy as the popularly oathed peoples' president, Ruto remains the formidable front runner. Howbeit Raila himself has girlie-teen-playfully hinted at support for him, wherefore I will deduce the ideologically inept, graft-cartelist, primitive accumulating nyapara class, are set to continue their duopoly hold on the Kenyan state. They will be covered for externally by monopoly capital from the West and infrastructure trade capital from the East. So the political crisis builds as Wanjiku, or the common man, is, like a hapless lad captured to be sacrificed atop an Aztec tomb to blood thirsty gods, led to be bled at the torture chamber of debt repayment. (or should I say, Yanislav Varoufakis in mind, led to the cave of the Global Minotaurus for a ripping ordeal!? But below, the tension builds, O yeah. When Agwambo flirts with Ruto, what is the point of thinking of him as the peoples president!? Isn't he just another (cross-over artist) Ababu Namwamba!? I am game!

THE POLITICAL CRISIS BUILDS, BUT FIRST THE ECONOMYNASA, the national opposition to Jubilee and, at half the locals across the country, the COUNTY government in state, is of course out of mission. It is a wreck. It has outlived its usefulness in this form. That is the form in which it is a ramshackle concoction functioning as a raft for the likes of Musalia Mudavadi to stay afloat on the political scene. After Moses Wetangula, Kalondho Musyoka and the said Mudavadi, all chickened out on the 30th of January key event, wherefore the people saw them clearly for what they are, slimy cowards of the country, the worms are all but done for. A public show of cowardice is that lethal. All that remains is for Jubilee to peck them in. Raila Odinga's continued association with them, and the official, euphemistic reference to them as co-principals of NASA, is merely the Kenyan pathology of couples staying in a marriage they and everyone else recognises is dead. It grants them couples and wedded ones the opportunity to break every vow, fornicate around with abandon, while maintaining the socially desirable, may be mockingly respectable front of being married. This hypocrisy and duplicity is the homestead neglect and parental absenteeism, which has allowed the pirate Aden Duale to sneak into the NASA home and ritually abuse Gladys Wanga, enticing Wiper's Momanyi to partake in the rape. NASA is a rotten door inviting a vandalistic kick-in. And it will be, kicked-in. Even by a distant and rogue Miguna! But yes, these are side issues. The ticking bomb remains, it is the economy stupid; or is IT rather, it IS THE SAFE SILLY, in the case of William Ruto the looter. --While the political elite both sides of the fictitious divide, bedazzle us with sordid and menial theatre, like the fake AAhs and WOOws of commercial porn, the signs the ship of state is entered the iceberg field, are evident to every tuned eye seeing through the fog of oaths. A few examples will do. A. DEBT SERVICING FIGURES A1. The IMF apparently withdrew access to an emergency credit facility, but the likes of Njoroge and Rotich kept up appearances as if that was not the case! -why the silence!? And, prudence to the winds poodles will jump when told Consider the restive labour front --striking nurses some not paid for 5 months (like in Siaya!); --- the pending teachers CBA's arrears, the doctors' too; --- the bouncing cheques of Kamau Thugge to KUSU and OUASU; and more of the same, .... then could Rotich, in the name of implementing reforms to meet IMF diktats, take to, like rogue governors in thier micro-economic illiteracy, taxing roadside mandazi vendors and roast-maize below subsistence hawkers at rates they would never make in a life time! --I must admit I have been looking at the reform packages the bewildered Egyptian Al-Sisi is forced to implement to be credit worthy. He removed subsidies to bread and fuel. To prevent bread and fuel riots, he had to arrest nearly everybody with an independent mind in the political clas; and come elections, he can only debate with himself! All other would-be candidates are either in jail or disqualified!But he is good in the IMF books! (and then there are his gas-field policies too to add him credit abroad!) And the other guys who have to do reforms to show worth, Greece for instance, have had to sell-off ---auction for song is more like it, even their municipality cemeteries and family graveyards to project developers from abroad to build their villas. Dead bodies can be cremated by specialists they must know, if you remember the ovens at Auschwitz doing overtime long ago. But marking such prime plots to bury the dead as the Greeks do is a feudal indulgence no longer permissible in the contemporary neo-liberal order! They gotta move on from the siesta mentality which allows big leafy parks in the center of capital towns! Anyway Henry Rotich is promising quite a swallow. His throat better be real deep. Distractions like Alfred Keter in Patrick Njoroge's office waylaid trying to cash fake Treasury bills are silly offs. A2. A House (or a credit rating buro) named Moody's did a downgrade just on the eve of the issuance of the new Eurobond. But what do they know? A3. OIL REVENUES BLUES: The revision of this OIL REVNUES demarcation bill to the disadvantage of the locals, which will be forced by Jubilee through their parliamentary majority, should, like the REVISION of revenues division bill between the central state and the counties, which Raila and Kibaki were forced to be let drafted by the IMF, ring a knowing bell in the minds of the alert. And if you relate it to Rotich's vow to do what it takes to come back in the good books of the IMF -what else can he do really, the deal is sealed. NASA Mpigs will be bought off one by one! But these issues of life and death, national independence and domination, the will of the people or the will of the foreigner, the nitty-gritty of good governance, is not the staple which pre-occupies the political elite in their treatises before the people. Nay, theirs, is the menial theatre of ethnic political porn. Yaa, OOO, Noo, Shhiiiisha. But agreed, the consciousness domination potency of ethnic porn can never be underrated nor underestimated. It is the chief political game in town: balkanisation. It bedazzles not just Kenyans, nay, it is a global consuming passion. How else would porn be the global rage of the Internet it is!? The human subconscious apparently reacts with a Pavlovianly predictable twitch and itch to the soundtracks of hateful communion! I will be back!

OF LESSER MEN AT THE TOP OF YOUR LANDSometimes I wish I had stayed peacefully at home and not taken a trip to the neighbouring villages. Then would I now enjoy the peace of the sleeping dog let sleep, yeah, I would now think my grandmother is the best cook, the girls of my village the hottest, and the doctorates running my country and county the sleekiest. Alas, No! The winds of adventure blew me far and wide, off across the globe, and I saw lowly clerks run clean financial regimes with turn-overs beyond the whole of Africa, and all as a part-time job! In the wide world, one of course gets to know of some real statesmen who rebuilt their war-ruined economies and countries in less than a decade. Neither did they bother to loose a single cent, nor steal a dime, nor succumb to the myriad temptations of waste. --Many Africans do not believe this kind of competence is possible in public office, or -- such are the depths of the historical trauma of institutionalised mediocrity-----any other office for that matter in Africa. But then, neither did the Americans wringing their hands over the Marshall plan to Germany: 'Not every soul has an irresistible desire to steal from his people, his country, his government, or anybody who trusts him with some petty cash!' scoffed a German clerk, noticing the disbelief in the eyes of the American auditors. Most of the time I suffer amusement, watching the treasuries of Africa. Highly educated men insisting we have to go through every step of bad-to-worst before we find our way out, and up. So it is reasonable to expect the economic collapse will come, courtesy of the obsessive and habitual mismanagement of scarce resources. It is that easy to predict. Stupid political economy never built no nation on earth. But again I never stay amused for long. Because I have seen the worst, as in when states collapse and dismember. No, no one wants to be there, at the bottom when the wages of institutionalised rot are paid out. It is a horror beyond any fiction. This urgency sometimes creeps into my wakefulness, spoiling my enjoyment of the Kenyan show of ongoing institutional decay. WALK ABOUT WITH HENRY ROTICH Today I want to take a slow walk around some minds at the top of bureaucratic food chain in Kenya, specifically that of Henry Rotich, as highlighted by the Pro-regime paper, the Daily Nation. The long-standing Aga-Khan paper is changing hands. It is joining Uhuru Kenyatta's media stable, and to do that, the long-running purge reached its peak with the dismissal of David Ndii, Godfrey Mwapemba (aka GADO), Linus Kaikai, Larry Madowo and, no doubt, some other souls we heard naught about. The group will make a comfortable living out of the patronage of the Jubilee state, which Kenyatta heads, and his deputy is set to inherit. Critical notes are not welcome. Yet, even for the DN, there is no hiding from the harsh facts of dwindling cash reserves. IFMIS? Sawa. There is no cash crunch. Gava aint broke. Rotich wakes up one morning and throws the revenue division act through the window! as if counties are districts of yonder! (Same as Njoroge Patrick, offhand in New York, declared the rates cap law a temporary measure! Just like that! Yawa! These doctoral geeks are a marvel in their divine delusions of infallability! The DN better watch it. Otherwise Rotich is contradicting himself too much and too frequently. Even to the point of stupidity. Coming from the top of the food chain, such confusion informs the market the captain and first mates have lost their bearings. Smart money must make smart moves. Here is a carcass for hounds. That is why those FIRST EURObond holders are all calling in their loot upfront, conform the not so SECRET CLAUSE thereto. And with that rip-off largesse, they line again for the second Eurobond, specifically launched to pay them! again with upfront clauses! Dr. Henry Rotich, and of course his Opus-Dei his side-kick at the CBK, has manoeuvred Kenya to the milking chamber. But it is not the duo paying the price, nay, they will be highly rewarded for this con job. The job of turning Kenya into a debt slave. --Kibaki sought an escape
under that LOOKING EAST. Enter Rotich and Uhuruto! Back to heel, slum dunk. Theft, waste, incompetence and cynical visionlessness. A race to the bottom. continued.

RAILA ODINGA CALLS IT A DAY: THE END OF AN ERABut first, the coincidental arrival of the American Diplopraetor, Rex Tillerson. --The Head of the State Department is officially the commander of the American diplomatic corps. That is the diplo prefix or part of the praetor title. (Officially because Tillerson having been on the verge of resignation a few times, is considered no longer a DC insider!) But here is. In the city in the sun. Tillerson has come to town. Is better to say, has come to a disputed province. Better to say, has come to shore up the demoralised troops, on the retreat. Rex Tillerson is a worried man. Washington city is a worried city. Recently the DC warned Latin America, by the mouth of the same top diplomat Tillerson, against Chinese Trojan Horse colonial deals. Not good, for a backyard. But yes in deed, Monroe doctrine or not, a serial rapist of ones mum can honestly warn one against letting their mother, again, fall into the fangs of another reptile! Why change rapists if you can live with it!? So there you have a colonial power warning Latin America off the other colonial power, forgetting the saying: it is the wearer of the shoe who knows where the shoe pinches. The chained man understands best, his chained heart. Before being dispatched by his erratic boss, Donald Trump, to come and walkabout the sh!thole continent with its epidemic of sh!thole republics like Kenya, Rex Tillerson repeated his red-peril warning, this time for the benefit of Africa. China is out to colonise ou, wake-up, Oh Africa! Cried the American ex-oil-man. From Washington then, China is out to colonise Latin America and Africa! Phew, insecure self projection!? WHO IS SCARED OF XI JINPIN?Men! This Xi-Jinpin fella is quite some Chairman! --They call him the chairman of everything in China. And here is poor me thinking Xi-Jin is just another scared half red rat! He just made himself life president of the peoples republic of China, purging every other competent opponent, trumping up corruption charges, derailing the emergence of a younger leadership --like Mao the cultural revolution to re-assert his power. But all that dammed ambition within the CPC? The party becomes a pressure-cooker. Frustrated boiling ambitions will have release, however perverse. History offers clues. Not good. That is why long ago, the communist party of china itself came up with term limits. Xi Jinpin is a recidivist. Deluded in his own divinity! No, such pretender divine emperors don't scare me, O I lowly provincial. Beijin is far, and if the emperor's court is that intrigue-ridden, then like a rotting Rome, feasting on its entrails while some mad man deludes himself an infallible god, shall we lowly but straight-minded provincials tell with glee over illicit drink, tales of the rot at the top. Who but a sh!thole fakheds changes the constitution in 2018 to be immortal presidents!? And of such tops I don't scare. But I can understand Xi Jinpin and his BRI initiatives and drive toward strategic military parity in the next two decades, scares the sh!t loose outta the ass of the US of A. DC recognises itself a declining power, and with a clueless Ceasar like Donald Trump, the troops are worldwide in a mess. Xi Jin and his rising China are then not just a formidable threat, the yellow peril can perhaps be used to rally the troops and re-win old allies. The problem is the people, like in that PEW research of Latin America, are inoculated against the scaremongering from a retarded Trumpian administration. But the elites are of course for sale. They only hold out for the right price, like Raila Odinga today, in his parley with Uhuru Kenyatta.That one we discuss presently. Tillerson's anti-Chinese hysteria is only matched with the neurotic tantrums of his boss, Trump, but they can be pathological as the rants of a fading beauty confronted with a new mpango wa kando. The furies hell hathnt, thats the one I would contemplate a scare about! But from the fawning I saw Monicah Juma display, I doubt the lady is imbued of the instincts to read Tillerson. Intellectually of course everybody knows America is broke, and no longer speaks where money talks. --War is the chief duty of a declining power. Monicah Juma didn't twitch her nose at the blood-soaked hand! Sad. US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson (2nd R) is welcomed by his Ambassador to Kenya Robert Godec, Foreign Affairs CS Monica Juma and CAS Ababu Namwamba(L) upon arrival at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on Friday 09/03/18 for official visit. [Boniface Okendo,Standard] Read more at: www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2001272579/us-commits-to-stronger-security-trade-and-bilateral-ties-with-kenya FOOTNOTE This is how off reality these guys are PENCE SNUBS NORTH KOREANS These are the kind of minds running a nuclear killer super power! You should scare! Armed stupidity never did any good! Now, lets see Raila Odinga's in-throw of the towel! This trip around the minds of those at the top of the food chain in Kenya is working out to be quite a thriller. And that is dangerous. The best countries to live in are the most boring ones. Switzerland, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden! Switzerland does not even have a capital city. But the hospitals and technical colleges! Waawu!

A PARLEY IN THE CITY, who is mesmerized?Wandering the mental streets at the the top of the food chain Suddenly the sworn villains became heroes! It is a story with no bad guys! It was all my brother this and my brother that. It was a teary re-union of prodigal twins, refinding their nearly forgotten brotherhood, re-defining their identical birthrights. Waaa! It is really touchy-feely, so sweet, so endearing, so romantic, so forever after they lived in bliss, that, like on a wedding day when they say those opposed speak (now) or (hereafter) forever shut up, the churchly thing to do seems to be the duplicity of silence, rather than blurt the blunt truth. But hell, this is about the future of millions, so reality must be let in with the wrath of raging floods. -We know well these Kenyan weddings where everybody in attendance is a mpango wa kando of one or the other! And silence will be maintained for the duration of the ceremony! count me in! my amorous heart never spoils a good party! But before that HOW THE establishment REPORTS We will decode 'immense pressure' later. There are lots of memoirs out there from leaders who once enjoyed the pleasures and displeasures of this 'immense pressure''. President Uhuru Kenyatta and Opposition leader Raila Odinga share a light hearted moment at the foot steps of Harambee House after their meeting where they resolved to work together and unite the country after the long protracted elections. March 9, 2018. Photo/Jack Owuor The DAILYNATION Correct! Guess who is missing from the list of pushers! Wanjiku! Ummm, second guess!? And that says it all. This was of course an ODM affair, better said, a Raila affair! Wiper Kalonzo, F-K Weta and the ANC MDVD, heard of it from the press! So Raila did screw over his mates, the way they did him on the day of his oath. But so was the co-president William Ruto too, screwed, or better put, excluded from the royal romp. No, he is only co-president in name, just like Kalonzo and co are co-principals in name! Habemus social cohesion! Habemus peace love and unity! --No Ikamba songs please! The prefect Godec, after many weeks and months of cajoling, still got overpowered by local rascals. Thus did he decide to call in heavier artillery from Washington: And Rex Tillerson was, like sexy Condy Rice on the Annan day, detached to the seal. But this deal is dead in the water. Because it ignores a basic fact, and a point of reality. 1. This is a political deal without an ECONOMIC NEW DEAL for the impoverished. It is a Western Bankers deal and to make sure Eurobond holders are paid. 2. Our number one trading partner and treasury patron, China, is ignored totally too. Yet we all know the USA is too broke to walk the talk. A deal that imbalanced has no hope in hell of getting anywhere, for the people that is. But for the profits, of the narrow whealers and dealers involved, the sky is the limit. The tax-payer paying. FOOTNOTE: HOW STABLE IS SEXY REX? Recently at Stanford University, the Alma Mater of Condy Rice --the girl who really understood Europe and thrilled Europeans with her command of their petty sensitivities, Rex Tillerson gave a speech which blew up in his face in two days. The speech revealed the hubris, blind institutional arrogance and, strangEly, the alienation from reality of the US's top diplomat. -(unless, as rumours have it, rex is now just the bored who-cares-usemaid, resigned to a regime of ritual abuse under the Mad-Dog Generals who have done a putsch on Trump in DC!) That is his tragedy. But the speech was virtually a blue print for the occupation or partition of Syria without a say of the Syrian people. An open-ended USA military presence. Neither had he, Tillerson, bothered to inform his key NATO ally, Erdogan's Turkey, of the footwork of this policy But then the meat on the bone was yet to come. Unilaterally, the USA decided to launch a so-called Border Guard Force, on the Syrian-Turkey border, 30000 to be constituted mainly by Kurds of the YPG. The Sultan's worst nightmare! Within a few days, Turkey invaded Syria without bothering with NATO protocols ---Protocol automatically meant NATO was at war in Syria against, on one side, Assad and his backers including Putin and Tehran, and, on the other side, against the Kurds, the chief US ally on the ground! Angela Merkel, bleary eyed from hours of negotiating a new cabinet and sleeplessly waiting for the social democrats to get their gig together, allowed herself an irritated public twitch of nose at the twisted stupidity of Trump Americans. (Yes, Germany is a member of NATO and we are at world war! Moscow! Tehran! Hezbollah! Damascus! here we come, and she did a Rambo dance with a fictitious machine-gun!) ITALIAN COMMENTARY: 'We all know Germans have no sense of humour. But the middle eastern idiocy of our American friends have unearthed an extinct characteristic in our Northern neighbours. Phatbutt Angela has a sense of humour after all!' (Insurmountable Phat-Butt is how Silvio Berlusconi instructed his countrymen to refer to the German iron lady! After she allegedly referred to Italy as the Nigeria of the EU!)These are the kind of sensitivities Condoleezza Rice would send the dinner halls roaring with laughter about as she hosted the EU's diplomatic corps. Wine and dine flowing, Condy spoke all the major languages and tickled the cocks just right! Anyway, Sultan Erdogan was cautious enough to do a deal with Putin and Tehran, and therefore Assad, before moving in to teach the Kurds a lesson in Syria. What else could Tillerson do but throw the Kurds under the bus? But that is not the point. The Kurds have been serially betrayed by nearly everybody, fellow Kurds probably the most. Kenya too has done her Judas part in the Kurdish drama, selling Abdullah Ocalan to the Turks long ago. Ocalan had sought refuge with us. The point in the middle east, as made by them indigenes, was that the Americans thought they still had the power to, UNILATERALLY in 2018, impose their wishes as policy on the ground. People weren't hurt, they just couldn't believe how far from reality the American arrogance had reached. This was different from the Tillerson joke of relocating the embassy to Jerusalem! See, even for Israel to fly its jets over Syria, Putin's Russia has to nod. Coz to protect their own assets in Syria, the Russians have deployed some of their most sophisticated air-gear. The NATO Europeans stopped flying sorties over Syria long ago, citing other reasons than the real reason.THIS IS HOW SMART THE SD IN DC IS Now in Kenya, Godec and his master Tillerson are putting up a public show of running town. And the two princes, Raila and Ouru, are in their roles as obedient vassals. I say you know how it ends. Sad. It is the economy stupid, but, repeat, howbeit China is not worth even a glance of furtive consultation!? In fact, no one from The East is bothered with. Yet that is where the pulse and future heartbeat of our economy beats. You heard it from the Othaya genius himself! - Gikonyo Mwai the Emilio, ever high in the sky with an assorted cocktail of beverages, is not at the best of times your best oracle, but catch him sober on economics some time, then your profit is made any day. I betcha! Reality will be reality. -Call it our version of the Asia Pivot. When such realities are ignored, a deal is fukt and dead on arrival. --But rememebr with all deals there is a profit and loss account. Wanjiku's loss is easily the elite's gain. Details men, details in the contract, called the small print.Always read them! I am game. And will be back!

WHERE IS THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF THE OURU-RAILA PARLEY?
The land is currently in song and dance. A miracle has happened. And more mini miracles are set to happen, you know, like magical growth rates of the economy. There too will be an end of labour unrests and, what else, the repeal of the interest rates cap-law. United we shall stand behind our thieving bureaucracy and political charlatans. Amen.
When Raila declared Kibaki Tosha, the political economy included an MOU of sharing the spoils of the state, via a bureaucratic formula a the top. Raila would be Prime Minister. A vantage position from which his court and entourage could partake to the general looting of the Kenyan state by his comprador class.
The economy part was the ELITES' self-interest of a peaceful coalition of eating together at the same table. IE looting by primitive accumulation or otherwise known constructions of kleptocracy as practiced in (tenderpreneurial) Kenya (and similarly by the Jacob Zuma's of Africa, Asia and Latin America).
The politics was both factions of the insecure elite ganging up together against the people. This show of UNITY, gimmick of PEACE AND LOVE, would, projected and propagandised as INVESTMENT friendly atmosphere, be enough to temporarily yoke Wanjiku's sensibilities and loyalties to the scam being perpetrated against her. For it would promise economic dividends for all. Which is what everybody wants really.
Kibaki and his inner co -following the template of betrayal in Nairobi, reneged, and only after a collapse in 2007 just before the second Kibaki term, was the position of Prime Minister created by external pressure.
Very soon again, the coalition, The Grand Coalition Government it was called, would collapse into internecine bickering, essentially over the power to control lootocratic tenderpreneural opportunities.
Stuff which should have buttressed the Wanjiku part, the public and common good tenets, were quickly jettisoned or forgotten about.
Orengo James was minister for land, but all his time he --O sharpest of our learned friends-- never heard of the NDUNG'U LAND REPORT.
This is highly significant on the LUO PIVOT. Because then I go for an explanation beyond a Kenyan shrug of yeah, what did you expect!
NB: some of those Wanjiku bits refer to the famous AGENDA FOUR (of the NARA), Judge Krieger's summons, Historical Injustices (some of them poignant in the TJRC report of Ambassador Kiplagat). And then there is the killer corruption which ever tops the list of concerns of Kenyan public, whenever research results are published.
The GCG kicked the can down the street. Kibaki went into the oblivion, retiring somewhere in the intersections of Alzheimer, Korsakov and permanent drunkenness. His alleged co-principal in the GCG lived on to face-off against a rejuvenated Uhuru Kenyatta, paired with the Moi-upstager William Ruto.
Uhuruto, facing the ICC, had more pressing problems than detailed analysis of what really would make Wanjiku tick. This making her tick is of course merely implementing the obvious.
But implementing the obvious on behalf of Wanjiku needs a comprador first doing a Saul to Paul, the Damascus road thing. Elsewhere, with a cultural wink at the thesis of Amilcar Cabral, we will refer to that Damascus road thingy as CLASS SUICIDE.
And it is a shot too long for the comprador.
By now we are sure they will be elections. But they will not be free and fair in one particular aspect: the presidential result will not reflect the popular will. This is now the rule. This important instrument of negotiating a peaceful transfer of power (from one faction of the ruling elite to the other) has technically become redundant in Kenya, under the comprador captaincy of the economy and politicology.
Free and fair (presidential elections) reflecting the peoples will, is thus as long a shot as comprador class suicide. (should I grin, O Africa,as long a shot as Museveni, Kagame, Kabila, resigning like Jacob Zuma! Well, still the option of a half-dead Mugabe resigning with tanks inside the palace! For there is always room for comedy too in history!)
To buy time, given the street ever getting shorter over time, and the option of ever kicking the can down the street becomes a dangerous gamble, Uhuru and Ruto decided to up Kibaki and Raila on the so-called infrastructure legacy. This simply meant borrowing like a crazed Greece. All the way to the issuance of bonds.
But as is their political genotype, the comprador, awash with cash, a bestial lot these were, wasted it all away. There was theft, and then grand scale theft; county and country levels, local and national governments, every layer of officialdom, they engaged in insane rituals of graft and waste. The Auditor General recorded the much he could. The relevant institutes threw their hands in the air --Comptroller of Budgets, the SRC of Serem, and, last but not least, Rotich at the treasury declared himself illiterate: Eurobonds? No, can't tell you what it did. Ask the departments. The chief sentry had mentally collapsed.
A predictable result followed. A state drifting toward a financial abyss under the captaincy of a graft obsessed regime. David Ndii issued a siren call: DIVORCE! A split and bolt would be better, that, like a raft boat, some escape the coming sink!
Since states unlike companies can not be liquidated and disappeared that easy, other desperate stopgap measures must come into play. The chief purpose of these measures is to derail the coming to office of a PRO-PEOPLES regime. This would negate the agenda of monopoly capital. We therefore watch a concerted international (in this case read Western) effort to FIX local politics in Kenya.
Kenya's strategic importance to world players is undeniable.
INCULCATED, REAL OF FEIGNED MEDIOCRITY?
Incompetence ---not to mention that Miguna Miguna word MEDIOCRITY--- helps a lot to deliver Kenya to subservience to powers from abroad. With Joseph Kinyua, David Rotich and Patrick Njoroge or even the Thugge Kamau, having presided over financial broke, The IMF easily comes to town to take charge. Kinyua, Rotich and Njoroge between them have a lot of IMF&WorldBank years, wherefore it looks like their is an insider job.
In other words they were deployed to DELIBERATELY mismanage the Kenyan economy so that it can completely be taken over by their external controllers. The deliberate mismanagement being a tool to pry Kenya off her LOOK-EAST Kibaki madness.
On the Luo pivot, I checked the QUALIFICATIONS OF ROTICH AND NJOROGE. Harvard and Yale top-range. Tight. These guys are good, not just on paper. There is nothing they do not know about state economics and state finances. Much less of a low-class GDP less than $60 bn. That is ABC stuff. They are experienced, and on local ground.
The combination of BRILLIANT + EXPERIENCED is in the rule, a GENIAL TEMPLATE to solve a standard problem. It hasn't worked quite like that at the Kenyan treasury, wherefore I need must explain why.
NB: The same as needing to explain why at the leading referral and academic hospital in the country, the wrong patient had his skull opened. --In this case it was easy: nobody bothers with simple but all-important procedures like labeling, and verification!
Koro goes or Mailu goes, this stays.
Why don't these highly-trained boys and girls bother with the ABC protocol at the Surgery!? When humans are DEMOTIVATED, and work in a rotten environment, rest assured the majority will DEGENERATE to their worst selves. That is how the nicest boys in your village become champion rapists and beasts when the lawlessness of war pays a visit.
Who cares!? The patient --like the many who die in ambulances denied first aid, was just another Kenyan piece of sh!t to the attendant nurses, doctors and consultants. Taking a cue from the top, they dispensed with their training and standard procedures. -This mental collapse is exactly the one manifested by Rotich and Njoroge, Thugge and Kinyua. They dispensed with the ABC protocols of accounting! While in charge of state finances! Taking cue from the top!
It is not that they are intrinsically incompetent. No, like most characters performing in a hierarchy in an organisation, and making a career, they were smart enough to know CONFORMING was the way to rise. And in the rotten environment of comprador rule, MEDIOCRITY, even if feigned, is the primary quality, is the fuel upwards, the thrust for maintaining flight, the key to all coveted rewards. So our best and brightest decomposed to illiterate laymen who need inferior IMF economists to take them by the hand and guide them through organising messed state finances!
No Miguna-like Resist in them!
I am sure Dr. Patrick Opus Njoroge at his full potential, pushed, can run the 'Trillion-dollar' China-launched Asia infrastructure and Industrial Bank, but, howbeit, here he is in Nairobi, showing bewilderment at peanut 2bn Eurobond dollar kitty!
WTF happend! George Best is reported to have been asked by a room attendant, found in a hotel snoring while England lost a match!
So here is Patrick Njoroge at the CBK, meeked and holding out his Yale-doctorated brains for a $150M emergency rescue disburse from the so-called IMF facility, yet before that he snored as the likes of Anne Waiguru and every other looter in town, used the Central Bank as a clearing house for contraband looted from Wanjiku! (then he woke up yesterday to give us Alfred Keter as an appeasement bone!)
That is degeneration pure!
Gosh! We teachers can only blame ourselves for mediocre lessons to forge the character of the aces of the land! ----------------------- But this is a story about a new PARLEY in town.
Those bureaucrats are just that, rats. Footnote rats.
CONSTELLATION OF A ROYAL CLASS
ThE OATHED peoples' President met the sworn-in official President, and they signed a protocol of understanding. This was at state house.
And this is the supposed big deal. The Kenyattas's and the Odingas's burry the hatchet!
It has reminded many Kenyans with a memory of the CO-OPERATION when NDP/LDP joined Arap Moi, in what Raila PR'd as a Trojan-Horse Move. But there was a known economy to the politics, wherefore the CO-OPERATION was a very profitable political economy to the signatories. Luo nationalism to date, finds the economy of the co-operation a very uncomfortable area to visit. It contains the murky, secretive details of what exactly The Molasses deal fitted in the scheme, and the land piece below it, also mentioned in the Ndung'u report which escaped James Orengo in his no-land-reform show as minister. It is a dark topic, which even Miguna is cagey about, though not for me. For me it is just a straight case of quid-pro-quo. Moi understood the art of deals within a kleptocracy. Pay-Offs.
And now in his death bed, the old patriarch is still acting lord protector to his project, Uhuru Kenyatta, entrusted to him by Father Jomo; and he too is fain to put his own son, Gideon, in the line of succession and stab in the back the man who dethroned him, dispossessed him of the Kalenjin hold. That is the Hustler Singh.
So there must be an economy to the politics. In fact speculations are rife about pay-offs and promises of dynastic favours: MOU'S which are to run for generations. That is why Rosemary was in attendance.
The contours of this 2018 parley therefore, the people perceive by instinct, and richly speculate about, is not just the here and now like 'the political economy of the ENERGY MINISTRY ---which made Nicolas Biwott and then was rewarded to Raila after his parley with Moi's KANU. No, this could be involving LINKAGES such as in Old Royals, like the European Monarchies, used to create their aristocracy which became the ruling class over centuries. The linkage of INTERMARRIAGE. The mixing of blood to maintain power.
(Here, a diagram depicting the spread of haemophilia in the royal courts of Europe will serve as good amusement if not illustration of linkage!)
This is an intriguing topic. I am told that, to install his domination over Saudi Arabia, the founder, Al Saud, married a woman from all desert tribes. Sex was not on his mind when he did this. It was the formation of a Kingdom where every clan and subclan had HIS bloodline claiming crown princes status! But that was not enough. He had to do two other deals with the devil for continuity. The conservative to extremist Wahabbist sect as ideological cement, and the USA as protector general in a stormy, quick sand region. The USA got cheap Oil monopoly, the Saudi citizens a super welfare state to shut them up!
So far so good.
But here we are in Kenya. An Odinga-Kenyatta parley to work wonders on our tattered dreams and high aspirations (2030 vision and industrialisation and so forth). But where is the cement --the ideology to rally and bind souls? And where is the real deal, the LIFT-OFF economic deal to shut us up, we doubting Toms!?
There is this deadly fact: for all reports of 7% growth rates, Kenya is at the financial ICU. Our debt obligations are a bind which out-rule public welfare largesse. Even controlled interest rates, Rotich has called unsustainable. YET Cheap interests encourage investments, the good books say! Low I-rates also leaves the loan-infested middle class with more disposable income. And we know the money-flow graphs of lift-offs, precedents galore, so no details is a ruse we see through.
This parley is as bankrupt as the desperate situation which necessitated it. That situation is the need for the comprador to come up with a new gimmick to enlengthen their class rule, now that even the popular devolution has been made a mess of ---by insane corruption leading to a cash crunch. The comprador can't pull this off themselves, they need the blessings (and patronage) of a powerful backer from afar, to help awe and intimidate Wanjiku. A super power of a patron. So I think the only option for the primitive accumulation class is to evolve toward an OFFICIAL ROYAL FAMILY, a monarchy basing itself on NATURAL, DIVINE MANDATE.
That is once you forego performance as a guarantor of legitimacy, or at least stability when you blatantly rig elections!
But that royal family must carefully intermarry! So we are watching the first steps toward the constellation of a LUO-GIKUYU-KALENJIN royal family to run Kenya the coming century. -We will add Muslim and other select bloods along the way!
That is the eternal covenant as meant by an oligarchy using the state to finance their condensation into a permanent royal Kingship rule.
If you ask me, it ends sad. It is a feudal solution to a capitalist crisis. But a constitutional monarchy, the kind the industrial bourgeoisie of England reduced the Windsors to in the UK, is a situation less than very bad to be. In the continent the royals were just erased off by firmer men like that guillotine operator of France.
Their crime? feeding cakes to pigs whilst the massess ate horse-hooves! ie shopping for ksh.27M in HongKong while inside the Kenyan slums, they sleep and eat sh!t!
Yap!

FOOTNOTE ONE: WITHER THE RAMBO OPTION?
WHY DID THE COMPRADOR FOREGO THE OPTION OF THE BENEVOLENT DICTATOR?
Before the latest merry-go-round of sycophantic tongues wagging upside down in praise where only yesterday they were spewing unprintables, and the apparent re-arrangement of forces at the top of the comprador pile in the aftermath of the Raila-Ouru handshake, there was much talk of a tough and decided Uhuru Kenyatta, adorning a Rambo-like approach and --- no man, no law, no crisis can stop him---- ramming home his legacy with the unchecked power of a dictator going it alone, benign, so to under speak!
This Rambo go-getter, we termed the fascistic option: an authoritarian stabilization of a capitalist crisis. The catch, is that, historically, a fascist, necessarily authoritarian answer to a capitalist crisis, must steal the thunder from the socialist threat. That is, it must have a package of highly persuasive goodies tailored and suited to the working class and, too, the destitute semi-working, IE the self-employed on the margins of starvation.
Howbeit this model --thinking of mature stuff--- requires a wholesome world-view to effect (or drive through). Fascism requires a program of MASS MOBILISATION, and a party program which usurps the time schemes of the mobilised millions, IE a day-filling agenda, daily. Like a full work week does, or full day at school, or full war! (This recognition of the need to fully deploy labour to productivity, is the wit of classical capitalism and the tenet of socialism! The difference is who is the senior partner in the whole sh!t: producers of wealth, or the parasites busiest sponging!)
Mass mobilisation is no step for a weak-minded leadership, devoid of an own world view, insecure of their peoples loyalties. Mobilising the masses for a half-baked agenda is asking for class liquidation at the altar of raised expectations. (This is why the first thing in the parley between Raila and Uhuru has been the demobilisation of the momentum of the peoples assemblies. Comprador instincts of survival recognise a monster which, not killed in the womb, would soon demand beef, and more beef, or get the beef for itself to grow, and grow into a top predator!)
NEXT: DEMOBILISATION OF ORGANISED MASSES: FROM MBOYA TO NDII.

DEMOBILISSATION OF THE MASSES, FROM TOM MBOYA TO DAVID NDII I will only mention Tom Mboya in passing. He was a mobiliser of labour par excellence. But no sooner had he risen to power under the ruling, genuinely popular KANU, than he decided labour had no business being independently organised. Labour had to be locked in, dominated and controled by the party in power, KANU! Otherwise it was a treasonable communist fifth column! --Basta! IT means, clear-minded and clinically ruthless to the core, Tom Mboya was just a comprador user and abuser of the working class, and at the moment of apportioning state power, he revealed himself a betrayeer the working class. Being no friend of the working class as such, once in power, his assassination and removal from the political scene was no loss to the working class of Kenya. Tom had ridden them --bent backs-- to the top, then turned around to bureaucratically wipe off their core strength ---the independence of their organisations. This is vintage historical treachery. For the conscious movements of the working class then, a tear at the tomb of Tom is more of a crocodile's than a loving widow's! I am game for alternative views! That is why I said Dr. David Jekcyl&Hyde Ndii should have stayed a Kikuyu, rather than, with much pomp on twitter and grammar, morphing into a JaLuos only to demobilise the political consciousness of the masses! His first public act as a conviction Luo was to announce the freezing of the Popular Peoples Assemblies! Yawa! Gino osechuna gi paro matut ndi!Howbeit Davyboy Ndii picked a fine time like that Lucille girl of a Kenny Rogers song (named the same); for this is a time when the masses are organising, gearing to take their future, devolution proper, in their own hands. This follows repeated electoral malpractices both local and national, and, poor dear, the unravelling of the official political class as monsters who looted the public koffers to bust, county or country!! Woe be I! it is the same Dr. Ndii who over the years has painfully chronicled these ills, lambasted the economic illiteracy of this class, in his now defunct public column in the Agha-Khan paper, aka Daily Nation. Now he knifes the struggle where it hurts most, its nascent independence. It really reminded me of my hommie Tom Mboya as the general secretary of KANU looking, ahead at his career: we don't need independent labour organisations! Death to them! But as Onyango Oloo wittily reminded Miguna Miguna during a recent spat Some 8-4-4s may need a bit of mental patronage to figure. I will leave that to Onyango Oloo, if he can break his hypnosis off the South African Tom, Cyril. Let's muse Dr. Ndii has 'non-antagonistic contradictions' toward a comprador corporatism! His bile is just some sibling rivalry issues with his Kiambu cousins! Otherwise he would know down here in Kavirondo, the monopoly regime of the ODM is equally Mafioso, mediocre and incompetently wasteful, IE a Jubilee identical twin! But then we have been here. So I tell the tale of our brilliant Tom Mboya who, as labour leader, had no antagonistic contradictions to the settler state, since, no sooner had he and his KANU gang inherited that self-same state unreformed/unrestructured, than he wrote a blueprint for the subservience of the Kenyan working class (through their organisations) to the KANU state. It was a demobilisation of labour, but a supreme empowerment of the primitive accumulators of KANU. Neat! This KANU state was but a ' black skins white masks' affair. At least this is the way a man of legend named Frantz Fanon famously described the post-colonial, so-called independent states under the 'black settler class'. This class of ' black diamonds' was running a primitive capitalist racket, in effect they were upgraded homeguards in-service to Big Capital from afar. Earlier versions of Jacob Zuma. All along, they had no irreconcilable differences with the colonial settler state. They were ideological soul mates, just young, in apprentice: L's. It was the overt overbear of the whites they resented, and more so, its institutionalised use of skin-colour to elbow out the local, nascent nobility, and uppity within the same economic structure. ODM, calculating from the debauchery of its monopoly rule in my Kavirondo backyard, then comparing with Jubilee rule in Jubilee's one-party state prefectorates, is the ideological twin of Jubilee. Contradictions non antagonistic. Wherefore where is the surprise that the peoples president, Odinga Tinga, and the duly sworn in CiC, Jomo Junior, like long separated twins, found one another in a fiery embrace which, since, has escalated the theatrics of our land to a new realm of denialism. It is the economy stupid! What is in this deal for me, O the working class of Kenya! All the CBA arrears will now be honoured on the dot! Just this detail, where is the money! Henry Rotich does not look a guy who can answer that. And don't joke, this is his area of speciality. He has been behaving like a scumbag of late, Our Henry the first, slippery like a wet eel when questions about the health of the treasury arise. When the so-called top of the range experts give you a scumbag act, I am street smart enough to know there is a sh!tstorm out there! It will start with raised taxes, spurious surcharges on services, additional charges everywhere, delays in govt disburses, defaults on govt local obligations, suspensions of projects, reneges on promises .... The Odinga Kenyatta handshake is to pacify the nation against rebelling against the prepared strangulation by the political class (them parasites swimming in cream and oxygenated blood as the rest starve and asphyxiate!) Keep your eye on your purse. Follow the inflation curve. Build buffers. Keep common sense. Its getting hotter.

Keep your eye on your purse. Follow the inflation curve. Build buffers. Keep common sense. Its getting hotter. tHIS or THE SOUND TRACKS TO THE 9-MARCH 2018 HANDSHAKE. None of the above, but this one! So, Szup!? Whilst the two princes mesmerised the land with their (lost and found) Bromance, the country effectively surrendered her economic policy to a foreign entity, and not even by stealth!! Here is a taste of just how irrelevant Uhuru and Raila are, when we get to the nitty-gritty of state affairs, finance and economic policy. Sorry to hurt your feelings, dear reader. But your heroes Ouru and Raila are just dogs on a leash. Their job is to hold you in check while the IMF scorch-earth policy is implemented. But the good news is we brought it upon ourselves: wich-liech romo mana wuon-gi. ---We run a mediocre and incompetent book-keeping. We delegate looters to positions of trust and celebrate nepotism above merit. The result is a guaranteed financial meltdown, and slavery to interests more driven, interests who take care of their own with more dread thrust and cold-heart. We become their meals, their fat meals. The rest is stupid theater by ethnic toads in the local pond, aka Nairobi State House! Here Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta, left, shakes hands with opposition leader Raila Odinga, right, outside Harambee House in Nairobi, Kenya Friday, March 9, 2018. Kenya's president and opposition leader announced Friday they will work together to unite the country, which has been divided along ethnic lines following last year's disputed elections. (AP Photo/Brian Inganga)Once the economic policy of your land has been fixed elsewhere, and your Excellency's is merely to nod and obey, sign and comply, then can thee let call thyself whatever thee wanteth and thy sycophants deemeth -- His Excellency, Commander in Chief of bla bla bla, or The Peoples' Kalongolongo Prezzo etc etc, but fact is thee are just a vassal. A cog in service to the agenda of some powers other than the people whose name you evoke! I am too old to be fooled by comprador make-ups! Show me your accounts! Now, the rest of you please be sport! And continue the duplicituous pretence. -I am game. Barely just!

WHILE APPEARANCES STILL CAN BE KEPT, ALL IS WELLIn effect the comprador have abdicated in full. But politics is also a game of impressions. Appearances have to be kept. There are in any order, sensibilities which can be very explosive and the consequences even worse if appearances are not kept. For instance, Even if we know we are a genuine sh!thole republic, we wont take kindly to Donald Trump naming Uhuru -the illegitimate--- Kenyatta an arzhole, no more than The Donald himself was amused when his former secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, famously named him a *in moron!He bided his time and sacked him with a tweet! Obviously as additional humiliation in public! A story is also told of John Major, then prime minister of Brittania after the demise of Maggie Thatcher. He knew what his cabinet consisted of, he had constructed it himself from the remnants of Thatcher's table: They were bare-bottomed sh!t bastards. John Major expressed himself so in a private conversation. Fortunately or not, this was taped, and made public. All hell broke loose, the bare-bottomed sh!t bastards demanded apologies, some of them on the floor of parliament. But outside, the country went into a hilarious uproar. Public pressure led by the tabloids prevented the Prime Minister from apologising for having spoken the truth -for once they claimed! Albeit in private! In fact some claimed it would be a greater service to Great Britain if the Prime Minister confessed in parliament and asked the people for forgiveness, that the board of governors running the country were, well, a group of bare-bottomed sh!t bastards! Except himself of course, luckily the chair. Just saying; keeping up appearances sometimes meets its match, unable to submerge the truth! Now there is this small matter. Some will remember the Cambridge-Analytics inspired mud-slinging at the ICC, or the Bell-Portinger negative phrase-mongering thereto. These underwrote the nationalist rallying call which Uhuruto urged the nation to hearken to. Those were the days of those so-called prayer rallies in the run to the 2013 General Elections. To save their skin, from the ICC, there is no patriotic TUDUDUDUM known to bangers the duo did not ruffle. Halleluya! Our sovereignty is divine! only not yet .... Uhuru! But Lo! when it comes to the IMF usurping that sovereignty, one notices the deafening silence of those who, only yesterday to win elections, went to the absurd lengths of professing PAN-AFRICANISM. Nay, in this case there are no patriotic grunts, not even feigned recalcitrance as a calculated, obligatory nod to that constituency
or sensibility; nay; as Henry Rotich and Patrick Njoroge are reduced to submissive clerks taking down their orders, reduced to ornamental sentries in a yard supposed to be their own, the comprador chieftains and their ideological hirelings speak with silence. Some even enact Kalongolongo shows of brotherhood to distract the masses. Rotich and Njoroge, like the most obedient of all broken slaves, will comply with the domina's wishes to the dot. They have said so in writing, And you saw Madame Christin give them the fond pat on the back reserved for the most faithful of dogs. Extraordinary really, that these two clever boys have absolutely no inkling (nor consciousness) of their verminitude! I didn't quite expect them to have either the cynical depths or the manipulative, mercenary exceptionalism of Raila and Muigai. But here we are! --Read between the lines

A THEATRICAL RENDITION IN NAIROBIIn the absence of ABSTRACTIA, it is to raw reality itself we must turn. Abstractions as I mean now, refers to artistic pieces which cover the specific reality of a certain subject, in our case, say the Kenyan situation. --Such pieces include drama-plays, character deep novels, operas, musicals and the etc's. These would strive to explain, reflect, magnify, propagandise and analyse the forces in that society as they condense in the personalities and behaviour of the lead characters, impacting on fringe characters. The dilemmas and moral choices put forth by daily reality in a decomposing social set up, put under the magnifying glass of an artistic genius ---think of Dostoevsky, think of Achebe--, is of course stuff beyond any journalism or historical essaying. Facts without interpretation into a solid meaning for man are just a heap of building blocks that on their own do not make a house. But as it is, Kenya today, it is to raw reality we must turn for uncensored, unmitigated, unprocessed and fresh shots of ourselves. So there was this trio yesterday before a parliamentary commission. We are talking Matiang'i, Kibicho and Boinett. And their performance was an iconic exhibition of farce. Farce, by its distance from reality, IE denial, should only be enjoyed carefree in works of fiction staged for entertainment. But real-time renditions of farce are sirens of a brewing calamity, rising; for the correction of this real-time farce will also occur live, with human tragedy being one of the salient options of the resolution. From the tame performance of the parasites we refer to as Mpigs, the separation of powers between Government and Parliament (as an oversight) was nowhere to be seen. The Mpigs snored off as Dr. Matiang'i lectured them. But that –--annexation of parliament by the state is not my beef for now. My complaint and bile remains constant in any political economy: I hate the public being charged high pay for no work, no service rendered in return. These Mpigs recently increased their already world-top rates of remuneration; these Mpigs have spiked their bonuses and sitting allowances some more ate every opportunity, and what does Wanjiku get in return for the pleasure of footing the bill!? She gets Mpigs snoring on the job, polluting the air with verbal fart, earning bonuses for idleness. It is a scam, it is a scandal, it is a swindle, it is a shame, it is the cultivation and fattening of public parasites instead of public servants. The parasites are mentally lazy, intellectually docile, they are overfed on Wanjiku's blood, and are vampires of no hunting instinct. The have evidently reached an evolutionary dead-end. Recently I saw the Agha-Khan paper parade a cartoon. It depicts a rag-tag creature in the shape of (the map) a Kenya, dressed in our national colours. It spots some wilting legs underneath, and is going down under the burden of a heavy load. That load is a cancerous growth of DEBT and CORRUPTION. The deadliest form of corruption is to spend money on fictitious work done. Any time I see the public charged for no work done, my belly churns. You see, I never heard of a nation that built itself on fictitious work. Kenyan political economy as interpreted by this parasitic elite seems to insist we will be the exception. But no, not even the regime-supporting Aga-Khan paper buys that pitch. So we can now do Fred Matiang'i, capo! And the Miguna saga

HEATRICAL RENDITION IN NAIROBI 2In my opinion Matiang'i was alright. He kept to his script and performed his act fluently. He was robust, ebullient, rash and brash, harsh and as full of himself as his protagonist in absentia, Miguna, on any trying day. There is a sublime cultural ' mundu-khu-mundu' fair draw in this farce. The egos of Matiang'i and Miguna are a well-match. This is a must watch. This is a thriller. Fred Matiang'i tore into the judiciary. He was a true attack dog unleashed by a fascist regime, recognizing the Judiciary as the last wall of institutional resistance. And it need must be caved in. There is an EVIL wing of the Judiciary captured by an equally evil panel of career activist lawyers! How does a government deal with EVIL!? Do you think Al-Shabaab can be characterized as EVIL!? Well, for Dr. Matiang'i to make this case, he had to seriously confabulate. He had to come into act as a lord of impunity! He had to be beside himself with arrogance, hubris and, most importantly, delude himself into self-righteousness by ignoring factology and hard logic. No, he could not afford nor permit himself the selective memory and parochial interpretations of General Doctor Kihalangwa. The good General had to hide behind formalism, a bit like the famous refrain of lower-rank war criminals: I was just obeying orders! Matiang'i without mentioning names, fingered Judge Odunga and the activist Okiya Omtatah! According to him, there is an obsessed activist lawyer who only needs to appear in court and get a prearranged injuction from the said evil wing of Judges, to serve a court order on the government for whatever imaginary situation befits their fantasies of frustrating law and order that day! OKIYA OMTATAHTwo court orders I want to tackle. To show Matiang'i mental degeneration. 1. KBRR or CBR?? Okiya Omtatah catches the thieving banks pants down, During this episode, I kept my attention trained on the two smartest kids on the block, Harvadian Rotich at the Treasury and Yaleman Njoroge (at the CBK). I was on the look out for the econometric import of using either rate for the Kenyan economy. My first question was, why didn't you two goats go public about the existence of this dual rates –Fahrenheit and celcius--- instead of trusting on Kenyan laziness, only to be ferreted out by workhorse Okiya Omtatah! Dr. Fred Matiang'i rubbish this kind of load-lifting by Oriya. That is a confabulation. A statement not from the thinking parts of the human brain. 2. Okiya Omtatah on the legality of the switching off of live TV signals on 30th January. Justice Chacha Mwita suspended the shut-down. But the communications authority had askaris posted to thwart Okiya's service of the court order. To term Okiya Omtatah evil, Dr. Fred has to let go of his memory, his intellect and ratio. --Which court orders! ICT man Joe Mucheru dug himself in every hole so that he couldn't be found to explain the switch-off. I am only an errand boy, he finally blurted. Ask The Big Boss! Well, these two EVIL DEEDS by Okiya Omtatah, tell a thing about the mental status of Dr. Fred Matiang'i. Power has lobotomized his doctoral lobes. What is left is just some amoral ape thumping chest and dancing to its own testosterone charges, relying on the gun-power of the security ministry to intimidate physically. FOOTNOTE: WHERE WOULD WE BE WITHOUT OKIYA? Keep your eye on the ball!

ON A LIGHT TOUCH: EARLIER ON, THE NSC IN CONCLAVE
DISCLAIMER: Any resemblance to any real persons in the following narrative is pure coincidence. They have no bearing on reality nor any known situation in any known country. And that is that.
On the eve of January 30th 2018, a body called the national security council was in session at State House, Zamunda. This is Zamunda II, the celebrated second republic. The capital city is the famous Orobibuore, aka Nairograft.
What was so special about that end January date to warrant impromptu sitting allowances from such a top state organ, and security at that!? --Surely not another El-Adde disaster breaking!
Far from it!
The morrow was scheduled to be the self-coronation of Yabaya Ocuka, post humously. The set-up was all very Kalongolongo really, a carnavalesque re-enactment of past history, as in the production of a mass musical. But there was an under current which made all be not well and sent jitters up the spines of a lot of top people; not least Frederiko Matiangoko, the mad dog of a doc in charge of internal security.
He had some new info, Intel they called it.
Evil spirits known as NARAMA were armed and planning bloodshed, and they would use the chaos to storm state house to plaster Allomo to the already crowded Uhutoru presidency. These spirits would be led by none other than the Phantom General, the unidentifiable Osgoode Canadian and fake Kenyan, Joshua Nkaissery Nkaissery. They were a regime threatening pest.
The chief of Intelligence and the deputy chief of Intelligence, were a twin known as Gichangi was Waweru and Waweru was Gichangi. Their faces grave and steady, they patted and petted the resident President off to bed. They told him there was nothing to worry about and meant it. Their Intel about evil spirits was more Al-Shabaab than NARAMA. Afterwards they confronted the police chief; but the copper shrugged them off: 'the Doc (Frederiko) wanted the intelligence sexed up, you know, like Tony Blair and George Bush on Iraqi WMD's! He is the boss so we complied!'
They went to confront Frederiko: 'Are you a lunatic!?' 'Relax!' Frederiko ordered. 'I was just practicing in advance for APRIL ONE!' On that day the President will be H.E Allomo Uhuturo Tibim! A dynamic trio, cheers!'
POSTSCRIPT: As you read this, it is past April One. Zamunda two has three presidents pretending to be one. It is called a triumvirate. The question is how long it will take to UNITE the BELT and have an UNDISPUTED Prezzo!
Ringside seat you booked. The resolution is coming to a theatre near you, Zamunda III. But before that, a LUNGALUNGA musical interlude: THE FANTOM GENERAL AND THE ILLEGITIMATE DESPOTS!
Lets dance, shall we!?

HANDSHAKE FOOTNOTE: FIXING THE SINGH, BUT WHY?
To device William Ruto's political casket are charged this duo, Kimani and Mwangi.
Martin Kimani for Kenyatta's court is the anti-terrorist chief. I will call him our chief antibody, in this case, an anti-Shabaab T-lymphocyte or state-killer cell. Messrs Paul Mwangi is Raila's personal lawyer. On their two heads, supported by a yet undefined secretariat, lies the task to operationalise the famous handshake. However, the specific details all very secret.
Luckily we, the people, do not wait for secret files to, at the leisure of the state, be declassified centuries after our deaths for us to know what is going on with power in our times. No, we are right there in the situation room, looking over their shoulders and eavesdropping every word, following their every move and formulating thought.
Fly on the wall you could say!
So which secrets? Which mystery? It is a straight forward plot: one faction of the ruling oligarchy connives a pretext to cut off the competition from the succession ascendancy. ---Even in Wash DC today, we watch how the former FBI director, Mueller, is busy at the behest of the establishment to find pretexts to eject the usurper, Donald Trump. The Russian connection hasn't turned up any smoking guns, so the mighty inquirer has gone wholesale voyeur: how much, and are the president and his lawyer -Michael D. Cohen--- perjurous on it? did the Stormy porn-star get paid for spanking The Donald with a copy of FORTUNE with his photo on the cover, and thereafter draining his member to the last drop as is her oral speciality? Did she out perform Monicah Lewinsky? asks the boys at the FBI.
Well, according to some Greek legend, Troy fell over the bedtime skills of an angelic nymph, the Hellenic Argive. So I reckon the fall of an empire can be spun as a cock-and-cant yarn. Go for it Mueller! Does Trump crave anal for whatever reason, but the Chaste trophy wife isn't into sh!thole acts, wherefore no-holes barred- for-cash actors needed had to be procured!?
Good luck America. Sensible people are saying Trump needs a war to deflect domestic troubles. And so his belligerent posturing overSyria, North Korea, and against the rest of the world trade.
So there are no secrets there neither, in Rome.
Neither here in the province, Kenya, where Agwambo 'pilgrimaged' to Kabarak, to consult/console the Sangoma of Kenyan tribal politics.
It is written on every wall and issuing out of every mouth. A select group within the owners of Kenya are revisiting the 'CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION' plot of yonder. That was when the VP DT Arap Moi had to be prevented from automatically succeeding Kenyatta I. Old Jomo was dying and, according to this group, the presidency of Kenya needed not cross a certain river in the neighbourhood of Kiambu, let alone stay within the house of Mumbi, let alone pass to a goat-herd from the Rift, (let alone going West to the land of the Uncut! Or, come to think of it, galloping all the way down to the savages of the coast, aka Mohammedans!) ---eh, Joho, plan B!?
NO-WAY!
So here we are again. Intra ruling class commonwealth games. An undesirable VP has to be buried. What a radio active seat, the VP. The premature corpses of many careers litter the feet of this seat, starting with Jaramogi. There was even a dr. Karanja nobody remembers!
CONTAINING RUTO, BUT WHY IS HE UNACCEPTABLE TO WHO?
Repeat: the task of Kimani, Mwangi and their co-plotters, is to prevent a William Ruto presidency. But I imagine there is a plan B failing that. And those would be CONTAINMENT fantasies. Such would be used to ground a Ruto presidency should it nevertheless come to pass.
The real beef to be dissected is then THE WHY? The motive behind the plot!
Why is a William Ruto presidency a dread scenario to the prime-moving faction of the national bourgeoisie? Aint he one of them, comprador parasites? Aint he a weaned, in-bred safe political genotype? A safe pair of hands to wield the comprador state on their behalf!? why the malice to defraud him of his political fortune!?
Hmm, they fear he can go rogue!? Like they always feared Raila could go LEFT!? Hmm, when Raila becomes a safer pair of hands to them, the toast of town now, it must be because the fire in the balls of the peoples president is gone, the progressive ideas in his head defunct, and so, senile and an empty shell, safer than a robust Hustler Singh who, though of a bonafide looter mentality, has a virility which may remind of Caesar: all oligarchs will bow before him per force or, Vladimir Putin option, somehow get out of the way!
Some background check on the Singh's CV may help diagnose from hence the deep-seated fear of the Kenyan oligarchy towards their most savage new arrival.
In his own Kalenjin backyard, Ruto of course did an Oliver Cromwell on DT Arap Moi. Thereafter he stunned the mediocre ODM Luo nationalism by outwitting The Mysterious One, by forging a dynamic pact with Uhuru Kenyatta. In that pact, bonded by the now forgotten ICC chains Gado legendarised in his cartoons, Ruto was very much the senior partner. The handlers of the exiting Mwai Kibaki and co, representing established and aristocratic capital, had managed to convince Uhuru Kenyatta, one of their own, to abdicate for the malleable Musalia Mudavadi, but they hadn't reckoned with one man. This snobbish --TRANSCENTURY---- boardroom agreement was smashed by the gusto of William Ruto who rather took his fate in his own hands than surrender it to weasel characters he despised like Musalia Mudavadi and Kalonzo Musyoka.
Highly aggressive, fighting for his life literally, aware he was the odd man out, aware he was no MK darling, Sir William powered the condemned ticket and went on to, by hook and crook, win the election as it were. It was a hard swallow even for the House of Mumbi. Kibaki handlers had fired passions against Ruto in the Nyumba, blaming him for THE EXODUS! From PEV! -Trust the T-lymphocyte to investigate the use value of this latent animosity, to facilitate a transfer of Nyumba loyalty to Arap Moi's biological progeny, Gideon. This stays Kalenjin anger and neutralises a fearsome backlash, but kills off the dreaded Ruto succession.
But these happenstances are not what makes his own parasitic classmates scared of him. What elicits fear, is the aggressive, uncompromising and ruthless single-mindedness towards members of his own class, which sets him apart from the mostly menial crowd clogging the top of Kenya. He is no candidate for the role of a figurehead. He wont be sleeping drunk in state house like Uhuru Kenyatta, emasculated by earthly pleasures and controlled like a puppet ---the way Mudavadi would be. His will is not weak as to be unduly influenced by trenchant institutionalist cartels. These own the state and ever play puppet-master on new infant emperors. --(NB: this 'puppetology' is how to explain the disastrous performance of the ace David Rotich at finance. Dave is top brained, but has performed like a moron and lay economist. IE, on any day, a top Harvard economist should tell you in details what he did with a 2bn Eurobond fund. He can't because it is not his call. He is a mere stooge to facilitate looting. A flowergirl distracting with well-proportioned traits, grades, while the sacking action goes on in the dark!).
But what does all this --Ruto gusto--- mean for the political economy of a parasitology?
Given Kenya's debt mortgage which ever demands a higher proportion of tax revenues to service or address debt in some way, Rutos uppity greed for accumulation will have to diversify. His gaze will covet, as every parasites, the ready-made. This is expansion by acquisition. That means his instinct will be to expropriate the already arrived. He will practice class cannibalism. That is a scenario for forceful take-overs, forced patnerships, even unprecedented gangsterism within comprador Mafioso. (May be Jacob Juma and Chris Musando templates coming too close for the comfort of the nobility!)
Remember by necessity Wanjiku is already stripped to naked, taxed to the bone and dry and, optimism qualified, the heavens are not planning to rain manna soon. Even with oil largesse from Turkana.
Now that is the fear at the top: a Tyrannosaurus appetite for meat set loose on the fat! His false smile, which reveals a dental array like a top predator baring fangs to be sunk into prey, sends chills up the spines of the inheritance aristocracy. They have had time to study him at the Vice presidency. They know. Him. Their balls crawl. They want him out before he gets in and gets them out!
CLUE: THE SIMMERS TEMPLATE
If you know how to read Oppenheimer and Rockefeller in their business acumen toward total monopolies.
It is said that primary school land pleased him much after he built the Weston Hotel on easy airport land. So he went for it, gassing up toddlers like the worst of the apartheid state, South Africa or Israel. No, it is common knowledge the Simmers restaurant stood in his way after Singh bought 680. And that became that: a wipe-out, a scorch-earth resolution. It sends a message, demonstrates the resoluteness of character, informs to scares the established enough to warrant a mobbing to incapacitate.
There will be a lot of frogs jumping up and down in broad daylight.
And so there is The Handshake finally revealing its hidden Godfather, Daniel Arap Moi. All these chickens were hatched under his wings. KANU clones or prototypes! The nobility tries to show the bastad upstart his place. It is a dangerous game. It involves rigging, assigning the people the role of figurants in the shaping of their own future, colonial template.
Welcome home, even the greater bastad Miguna Miguna!
A nation always has a PLAN B! which brings me to the mpango wa kando option Kenya has!

HANDSHAKE FOOTNOTE: FIXING THE SINGH, BUT WHY?To device William Ruto's political casket are charged this duo, Kimani and Mwangi. ---- It is a dangerous game. It involves rigging, assigning the people the role of figurants in the shaping of their own future, colonial template. Welcome home, even the greater bastad Miguna Miguna! A nation always has a PLAN B! which brings me to the mpango wa kando option Kenya has! THE MPANGO WA KANDO's OF HISTORY I am convinced, even as one is mesmerised by the daily drama recounting the acts of the publicly dominant forces --(the richly famous and fabulously powerful), one must have their eye rove; like a search-light looking for the rate-determining step out there. It could be some other beast; it could be a minor rodent or hidden event. History is a complex mish-mash of forces and actors. There is no unilateralism, no uncontested hegemony. There are no happy slaves. And the compost heap which, to implode, sometimes needs only a small push like that Princip finger on the trigger that fateful day in Sarajevo, is a mountain not even a blind seer can fail to see! We all know, no power in the history of the world has even been as militarily awesome and super as the United States currently is; but here we are witnessing the limits of that power. Yesterday 13-04-18, there were bombing runs over Syria. Many forms of rockets cruised to their targets. The twitterer in chief went gaga. Mission accomplished. Bush II over Iraq. But there is something about it which reminded me of a scene out of Tshaka Tzulu, the drama series. Those were the days they would end, when war was a game only meant to make a few points, points which are to be made without bloodshed! The Americans told -liaised the co-ordinates with---- the Russians. The Russians got out of the way. Assad too they informed to remove his expensive gear. Then the bombs came. Some hit some places, some were intercepted as both sides tested their latest electronic software. And that was the day at the battlefield. Lady Teresa and Boy Emmanuel invited to throw a few stones. The indefatigable insolence and contempt of Tshaka in that scene, Xi Jin Pin's silence. The rest of the action is the hot-air of diplomats riding more the fumes of Tennessee bourbon and Vodka than anything else. The USA can destroy Russia a million times over. Russia can only destroy the USA a few times over. Russia is no match for the USA. Putin is a tiny bomb-man as Trump would tweet. But the few USA-destroying capabilities Russia has, are enough to dictate enough restraint. America's overwhelming kill-power is checked, even mated. The real reason however, is that the USA has no agenda nor comprehension of the problems of the middle east. All she wants with her geo-political and global chess game of resources control, is to impose her will, which is not a solution template. The Palestinian issue for instance is beyond the powers of Washington DC, super power she be. And so, all politics being local, do I see the total monopoly of violence by the Jubilee+Raila state: it is awesome, a kill-power unmatchable by the one-Generaled NRMke! But, well, unsure of its place in the peoples heart, the Jubilee State is dictated to restraint, and, surprisingly, outright stupidity! (I might add without the USA as our nanny, our arz would be beat at the hands of Al-Shabaab in Somali!) The Mighty Elephant goes mad courtesy of the GUDHUGUDHU rat gnawing deep inside its trunk. That is the media General Miguna inside the TV studios of Nairobi, gnawing at the legitimacy of the regime. Those ignored court orders in the Miguna saga, and the authoritarian insistence that Josy Janyando and former Nairobi gubernatorial candidate is a Canadian, look much more the ossified mental reflexes of a moribund and clueless bureaucracy than the wit of a crack mandarinate. A meritocratic outfit would of course be far from projecting Kenya as one of the most corrupt sh!thole republics in the world, nay, it would be busy transforming Kenya into a regional super-power, a rebased economy performing as ---what Germany is to the EU--- the undisputed locomotive of East and Central African economies! But nay, if you do not know Nyando Ahero is in Nyanza, you are likely to think Somali is Gaza and Kenya Israel, and thus start corruptly spending your hard cash building walls to keep business out! IG Joseph Boinnet inspecting Kenya-Somalia boarder 'wall'. Go Da mn!Stolen and wasted money! Better build 3-storey flats for cheap public housing in Mandera, Garissa and Wajir! NB: 1 Those are your official figures, sexed up no doubt, after the famous REBASE which now states we are a MIDDLE INCOME COUNTRY! NB: 2 Now, Who wants to argue with such a statistical story of success!? Only irredeemable party-poopers like me! so what' my problem on this score!? This is an entirely separate topic and must be handled on its own merit. So SEE FOOTNOTE: Next: MWAKENYA AS KENYA'S MPANGO WA KANDO DURING THE COLD DAYS OF MOI-KANU!

cont: MWAKENYA AS KENYA'S MPANGO WA KANDO DURING THE COLD DAYS OF MOI-KANU!There were days when the dollar rate in the blackmarket gave one a better picture of the state of the economy than the official stats. History too has a blackmarket, since the official narrative is usually just that, a version. One would be irretrievably dumb if one didn't look further! So about that roving eye of the mind that need must microscope .... I was talking about that two-tier history of a land, wherefore power always throws those furtive glances behind its back. Thus do I come to MWAKENYA. I have seen the startled looks on the eyes of some of my students when I said MWAKENYA was the antidote to the MOI-KANU horror show! They never heard of it. All through secondary school! Official amnesia. The truth is the Moi-KANU regime had to be ruthless because it had long lost the people, and, culturally, the intellectual war. KANU couldn't think anything new to seduce the best of the land, anything worthwile to offer her ambitious youth not interested in the bondage of parasitic patronage nor clientellistic protegeeism. The KANU order could only intimidate and try crush, thereby certifying itself a stone-age regime, colonially recidivist. It became a period of backwardness, darkness and shame. What a sad waste of time it was. ----The 'enlightened ORIENTAL dictatorships' of the same period industrialised their Asian countries. Our KANU-MOi's, a lost quarter century! (WEEP NOT, O CHILD!) that you lost the past, means not the future too is lost! But there was constant resistance. The hub or resistance, yes, that word resistance, was MWAKENYA. Mwakenya had no military existence whatsoever. In fact Mwakenya was more cerebral than physical punch, and was restricted to the urban intelligentsia and conscious workers. Nevertheless it scared DT Arap Moi and his henchmen sh!tless. Mwakenya was detribalised and thus outside the scope of Moi, the professor of Ethnic politics. Man Kanyottu and later Boinett of the SPECIAL BRANCH went for MWAKENYA with venom. Their pathology is comparable to the bloodthirst wichi the ATPU is obliged to visit upon the radicalised Muslim youth. These the security chiefs can only understand one way: AL-SHABAAB sympathetic!! That is narrow and stupid, though human and necessary power blindness. And then re-listen to Dr. Fred Matiang'i 2018 declaring the NRMke proscribed! I can take you verbatim to a SAA SABA news broadcast from the mid 1980's, a communique on MWAKENYA! Nobert Okare reading the news on the General service, Leornard Mambo on idhaa ya Taifa! Same story and script, different generation of bureaucrats! keep digging when you are in a hole, Fred. But here is a satirical short story which once appeared on an East African paper published in Nairobi.. Here is a cheeky extract But that long ago at the heart of the KANU-darkness ... Mwakenya was where the 2ND LIBERATION was happening! Yet many young Kenyans never heard of it. In fact they can swear Mwakenya is fiction, because, look, if Moi was that dark, how come the ALL POPULAR peoples president himself, Raila Amollo Odinga, pets and pays tribute to him with such oozing love, just a shade short of sycophantic fawning!? And, too, when the Moi capo died, the Total Man Nico, did not whole Kenya collapse into the inconsolable grief of (honest?) widowhood, bemoaning the irreplaceableness of the totalness of the man Biwho!? Well, what do I know yawa! crocodile tears are not restricted to crocodiles! all humans can be crocodiles at the right moment, eyes flowing wet, the heart beastly cold! There is an institutional memory lobe wholly erased in Kenya ---for the official historian then. But the story of a marriage is not complete without an appraisal of the mpango wa kando, or kando's. I therefore wish to inform, and affirm that people, in good snobbish english you say bastads, like Miguna Miguna come from far. But not Planet Mars. The strand from which the NRMke branches from in our national narrative, the total one, runs deep and is as continuous as the YING is to YANG in the dance of the Cosmos. Miguna comes from the radical student wing which peaked under the extraodinary but short-lived SONU chairmanship of Wafula R. Buke. Buke was of course a demon incarnate of sorts. We arrived in KU to hear that is where he too had landed, an aspiring teacher, before he decamped to Nairobi main, UON, for history. I remember him as falsely easy spoken when he came to campaign: 'These things called Moi and KANU are wasting the country's time. The role our generation is to see them buried quickly, so that the nation can surge ahead!'It was pure treason! but Buke was smiling. Not a single word about student welfare! 'So if you are not impotently scared of these scarecrows controlling the police, please vote for me we do it together: get rid of the barbarian Moi and his backward gang!'When I meet the guy I still chide him with his ARAB figures when the tallies came in: Like Hosni Mubarak then and Hafez al Assad, he won all constituent colleges 99.9%! (But since then Paul Kagame has bettered those records!) Anyway Miguna&Buke's peer group was mostly a 64/65 born generation. And that is a sociologically important date. It is the Uhuru year pregnant with republicanism. Generation independence, generation republic, riika Jamhuri. My father told me, and I believed him before checking with my mothers, there was an irrepressible optimism in the air back then! Neither did it fail to express itself in bed. Husbands and Wives became beasts in bed. They corpulated themselves to insanity, multiple orgasms celebrating the end of colonial rule. According to my dad, my mothers reserving their comments in duplicitous coyness, never has there been such a collective indulgence in erotic fiesta as during the 63/64 historical calendar! Now you know why over 100 of those angels concieved then were expelled from the University in the 87/88 Great[/u] purge under VC professor Mbiti. (Mbiti the senior, to separate the two as we do with the Cato's of Rome!) THE NYANZA STRAND Those of the Miguna generation from Nyanza, were apprenticed at the feet of rebels like Oki the Ombaka, Otieno gir Ajwang' donge en Nyakwamba, Odindo in Opiata, Muga gir Jokolale, and the rest of the famous host. And these had in-turn schooled under the trees at the feet of the likes of the Super Teachers -Adhu gir Jokawiti, Ngire Oyugi the Eduard, Anyang' bende Nyong'o.From other parts of the country too were great teachers who tooled this 63/64 generation. Mwalimu Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Maina wa Kinyatti are collegehold (household?) names. It was a school of great sages, and it would be historically impossible that their lessons, PAMBANA, ALUTA CONTINUA, all go with winds. MWAKENYA is not in the national archives atop the pantheon of honour, I grin at my students. But if the history of your country you know is the national archives stuff, you are no more than a tourist passing by to the next b!tch, I conclude the grin! ENTER THE FACEBOOK GENERATION But today is different. This is the era of informational technology, the era of the mass social media. It is all there on FACEBOOK! That is your national archive, bar the stuff which displeases the American censors hiding behind smart algorithms! But essentially it means this: Miguna may be one man, but he is not miniscule, nor solitary nor clandestine like MWAKENYA. He is like a solo performer but GLOBALLY TELEVISED, ever live! Resistance is like a soap in some sense! It needs a drama queen to spice it up! A celebrity, a star to pull the crowd to the show! So the self-declared NRMke General is the most interviewed Kenyan the past month. It is him who has defined Kenyan politics abroad. He is the logical inheritor to MWAKENYA. That his rejoinders have been articulate and explanatively intelligent, even if a touch irritable and combative, has raised his stock enough to scare even would be hommie allies. In the media war, the no-army General has routed the Kenyan state. And that means, because politics stays a battle for the future, and the hearts and minds of the next generation, the power of the Kenyan state is, well, should we say .... clownish!? And clownish is a form of incompetence which is very fatal. Pure military. You see Idi Amin was well, should we also say .... clownish? I mean one must beware history can also have in store, mpango wa kandos from hell!You must not fear to think it!

That was August 5 2017, on the even of the GE. Now FF to today, April 25 2018. How did the Jamhuri do? How does the Jamhuri look like!? --How's the IEBC? Where is Chebukati? Where is Matiang'i? How did they do? How did they perform, respond at the hour their country put through the deepest call of distress to them? Well, Chebukati was always the thing he was meant to be. A tool against the people of Kenya rewarded well. Uhuru Kenyatta in his strategic wisdom under the guidance of his handlers, of course picked the bottom candidate in the qualification list. So today we watch Chebukati's remains, in addition to those of his commission, as they continue to rot daily in public, live. But I like to talk money. Did the no-elections have to cost what they did? And then, how about the bungle rip- and spin-offs pushing past 2 billion, Including 40M payments to lawyers like AhmedNassir!? Did it have to be like that!? Yes it had to be. That is the methodology of a parasitic ruling class. Organised, they capture and turn the noble institutions of state into avenues for looting and pillage. A short list would include The JSC, The parliamentary commissions, The Ministries, Cabinet secretaryships, The Central Bank, Kenya Power, KRA, NTSA, The NSSF, NLC, NCPB, KAA .... This KAA saga sounds comical, but if one is not ready to go work and produce surplus value, parasitism and theft is all that is left. So it goes like this -- -KAA comedy of stolen title deeds (no doubt used to secure huge loans and slice off large chunks of public land for private gain
. like where your Weston Hotels are built!)That is how they accumulate wealth quickly. They don't hustle, they steal. They rob, take the ready-made. They shake down their own country. They are Robber Barons. (elsewhere there may be talk of Kleptocrats, or Mobutocrats, or tropical gangsters, or, the latest I heard, a MAFIASOCRACY. But it is the same beast on the feed!). Chebukati was a small time cog, but he did deliver his brief. Hope his nerves are better than his predecessor, Hassan, who yesterday came back to weep in parliament, crying ruin after total dumping. That is the lawyers cartel in action, extortion. At those rates, would they had the intellect and insight to shame Teiresias of Thebes! Alas! CHEBUKATI MIDWIFES A TRIUMVIRATENow the triumvirate of the Presidents Kenyatta, Raila and Ruto is all busy on the ball, Kenyatta more so on his legacy. They are executing the HANDSHAKE dribble. It is an untidy affair, given the not so secret calculations of each triumviratee. But, assuming the same goals, what is their CLASS take on institutional reform!? INSTITUTIONAL REFORM!?Parasites should not be expected to commit suicide. They rather the host died before they changed. FOOTNOTE And whenever I talk politics, I like to keep a cyclopic eye on finances. So sorry I didn't see the HANDSHAKE, but I definiteLY seen this, below. Handshakes don't mean sh!t to a deficit of state. It is a parasite's fix. But you caught the Mpigs sitting bicamerally to raise their perks once again!? huh!? to be in there you have to have a degree in something!? Policemen are committing suicide because their 30k salaries are all attached to debt, enacted for school fees, food and hospital bills. Tighen the screws further, see if they do not go all the way to ARMED BANDITRY on where they think the money is: waheshimiwa. (Instinctively, Francis COTU Atwoli called for a coppers' Union.) DE JA VUFirst Follow the money to decode HANDSHAKES! But Kenyans did that on the first take, they chorused: HANDCHEQUE! That is how alive and sharp our culture is: no illusions. One needs lots of cash as buffer to live on illusions. Few Kenyans have the required threshold. For them then, no secrets about the handshake.Once upon a time in Zamunda Returned favours. Moi owned Nyachae. Simeon had always been his project. As for Raila, Moi had, post the August coup, harshly laughed at Jaramogi, the man who in his book, NOT YET UHURU, credited Moi for an instinctive giraffe who ever saw far, even if it couldn't see its own belly. -'I grant you the life of your son, Odinga, lets shake hands on it, to remember.' Bishop Okullu was the mediator. Arap Moi kept his word. He didn't hang Raila. And Uhuru Kenyatta, like Simeon Nyachae, was always a first-class Moi project. More Moi orphans than KANU. What is so secret about these things? Intrigues in state power are recorded since the Pharao's, 4000BC! no mysteries there. And murder is always lurking in the shadows, treachery stalking men at every handshake, ambitions deep and fierce. And history says, bring it on, new generation, like you are the first at it! ravish me a virgin, the wh-ore history grins in mock! Talk about MONKEY business!

THE KALENJIN LUXURY: MOI OR RUTO?
They are holding the country hostage. The next prezzo has to be a KALEO, or else the rest of you get out of the Rift Valley. It is out there in the open. You betray Ruto, Ouru, and we will finish what we started in 2007. It is being said openly. I therefore will want to call the Kalenjin bluff, since I don't take well to intimidation.
But first, some bile.
The Kalenjin luxury is a poisoned chalice, for Kalenjin culture first and foremost. If Ruto is too radical and forceful for his classmates, the fallback plan is Gideon Moi. Both are actually the worst of all worlds.
I will explain.
Gideon Moi is as weak a seed as any of those male zeros William Ruto has been summing up so well with derision: jamaa wa kupigwa na bibi, jamaa haana msimamo, etc. The kind of weak nerves which failed to show up at Uhuru Park on 30th January. There is no pride in the Kalenjin nation delegating such scum and a spoon-fed sh!thead to highest seat of Kenya, even as a useless compromise in an elite stalemate.
Alternative is of course the vampire William Ruto. He is a merciless thief, pathologically greedy and his robustness is more a throwback to the Mobutu Sese Seko stone age period. Howbeit courtesy of an open yet secret MOU within the Jubilee vaults, he is the anointed one. shoe-in we say.
Secretly, the depths of the valley are already practising the chant: NO RUTO NO PEACE! A Kalenjin staffmate introspectively winked at me with malicious mock!
Now, for a moment, take a quick stock of the challenges of the land of Kenya. Lets do easy stuff like ---delayed industrialisation, ---income disparity, ---debt hole blues and disinvestment and, the elephant in the room, the middle class hoax of Nairobi. --This is a status built on quick sand: illusions. Or perhaps we can better say the trappings of prosperity built the drainage path of the Nairobi flood waters. Heavy rains come, and there you are, middle class high rise, deep in water. Nairobi looks like KANO plains where from the Canadian Miguna was sprung.
The TO-DO list for Kenya can be enleghthened. A catalogue of priorities. But the point is made. What follows is the question: who does Kenya, and her owners, project to occupy highest seat? Who do they rally around to preside over the confrontation with these known challenges!? Who is their solution-man!?
Their answer: Gideon Moi or William Ruto!
Now think a bit: do you recall Kuan Yew of Singapore in his jocular moments as a stand-up comedian!? He would pitch with a high laugh: ---Africans give power to big thieves, then becomes surprised after many years they moved nowhere while others did. Or, how odd, they embrace a downright imbecile like Bokassa or Idi Amin for a decade, and then show surprise and wonder -He! How come we never left the bottom!
Weak-seed Gideon or supreme kleptocrat William!? That is the best Kalenjinland can do! --huh!?
It is as bad a deal as Kenya can get. We need Conrad Adenauer type. Lee Yew type, Tshaka Deng types. But we are at Murphy's law, worst case scenario!
I call it the Chebukati Option!
You see the Chebukati option was when, after much haggling and horse-trading, the infantile political class settled on the lowest score to do the most sensitive job. Their childish wits reckoned it was an idiot's job to midwife the hotly contested election. The result was two expensive elections producing two presidents. A guaranteed fak-up.
Now, howbeit, the ruling class are at it again. They gang up to present either Moi or Ruto for president, the former, a weak seed basking in lazy entitlement; the latter, a vampire greed out to vacuum the state reserves.
The result is guaranteed. A national disaster.
But it wont be disaster for all of course. The point is to identify the -tenderpreneural-- winners of the Chebukati option. You know, the Biwotts of yonder made good under Moi-Kanu in all its Mobutist indulgence.
Well, that begets resistance, even by rote. It is a bit too stupid to think Giddy or Willy can advance Kenya anyhow to the morrow. This is backswing of the pendulum. It happens in history. More often than one might care to like! And we are there!
NB: the past 40 years comparing Nigeria and Iran, who has gone places!? sanctions or no sanctions!? which of the two countries has consistently delegated week-seed to the helm!? (I hear the Singaporean laugh haughtily!)
No ruto no peace!? okay, declare the rift valley a separate republic then! --Good riddance! for the benefit of my Kalenjin staffmate I added a scornful .... madhafakaz!
