FOOTNOTE 2: As I wrote the above, a red light beeped in my mind. Somebody long ago on Jukwaa had written extensively on the shenanigans behind the VUTA-NI-KUVUTE demokrasia-kenya.blogspot.nl/2013/04/jubilee-and-national-question-in-kenya.html Now I remember it clearly. It was Onyango Oloo of this blog - (before he went to join Tuju in Jubilee. It is worth revisiting in detail because it captures a bone of contention which will run, and run. [/i][/quote] See there, thee former peoples president, Amollo. Handshake is no route to Canaan. It is a dead end.

OF HISTORICAL INTEREST: RAILA ODINGA AND UHURU KENYATTA LAID TWO EGGS: Ambassador Martin Kimani and Lawyer Paul Mwangi.
Then the two eggs fertilised (themselves or otherwise externally) and Behold, habemus the Holy Fourteen! Now those who have functional memory heard of The Kriegler, The Ndung'u, and, even after much watering down, Bethwel Kiplagat's TJRC!
The two eggs Mwangi and Martin, I wager, are two Kenyans who have no idea what the above are, nor why the imports are absent in any public narrative broadcasted by Raila and Uhuru in the last decade. So, what would this phrase mean: the best way to reconcile Kenya is to WEAPONISE Ndung'u, institutionalise AGENDA four ---eg No rigged elections henceforth, TUTUNISE the TJRC report and, well, transparentise the Eurobond accounts!?
It took me a desperate three years to be told of the joke Mwai Kibaki had cracked about the Ndung'u report. Some attendant had brought a copy and asked if the great Mwai wanted to read it!? I haven't yet got the insides of what Uhuru Kenyatta cracked when he recieved his copy!
May be Raila will tell me!
FOOTNOTE One from Luoland where the council of elders is fractious and absolutely civil-war stuff, would be tempted to read the above more as an exercise in comedy that serious national cohesion! Last time I heard, Jukwaa Kamale talked of the Gikuyu elders council as a Muratina addicts club! ---these are the kind of creeps who publicly performed a CURSING ritual on CITIZEN MACHARIA! Well, they have their body now, and no doubt the muratina is flowing. Macharia lost his heir-apparent son yesterday in a road crash.
Kimani and Mwangi! you wanna do tribal elders really!? or you are just toying around with drinks, having fun, like Kibaki with the Ndung'u report!?

THE NO MAGIC HANDSHAKE AT THE LUO COUNCIL OF ELDERS'You' people, Agwambo ---and that 'you' refers to the cream of the aristocracy which is the political oligarchy clogging the lungs of Kenya, arrogate yourselves divine powers with foolhardy childishness. Thereafter do you suffer self-induced delusions of invisibility (and dynastic immortality), imagining yourselves immune to the laws of political economy; and, to crown it all, three dynasties now insist their private wishes lays down the land's future, fixing Kenya to the fate of a feudal fiefdom under some base lords of the manor. But, what an axis of fear! all I see is weak-seed aristocrats trembling incontinent, discerning their doom, flinching at the sword wield of the seething upstart, Sir William. Waaa! If I were you I would rush for a constitutional monarchy before republican fervour organises itself behind William Ruto's (hell hath no fury like) challenge, to chop Your Snobbish Deities to oblivion like someone once did with the divine Romanovs. But lucky your children, William Ruto is just another tropical thief without deeper historical purpose. He is merely another ambitious thug out to capture the state to loot. Such (parasites) are easy to placate and trick into shallow parleys awash with seedy cash. There is no nation-builder in him. Nation building requires vision and the iron, single-minded mental rigour which scorches institutionalised corruption. That is beyond a KANU YK'92 golden boy. He is more likely gratify the pyschological vacuums of dominance by annexing Princess Rosemary as a mpango wa kando and employing Prince Gideon as a shamba boy. (e.g Baringo governor.) Kenyatta who was weak willed enough to step down for a thing like Mudavadi at the behest of Kibaki handlers, thereby acquiring Ruto's seething contempt,is likely to enjoy the condescending benevolence of Sir William, just to make the daily point, an exercise in ritual humiliation, on who made who all these years.It is not easy for a man of drive like Ruto, daily playing second fiddle to inferior proxies, just because of his low birth and poverty-born. --- I am thinking of the day Colonel Mengistu let his mask drop. An Amhara poet saw the monster, and captured it in words later made to song! (Word goes Colonel Mengistu would later make Emperor Sellasie's open skull his toilet!). The republic revenge.Anyway Apparently fretful for their future of this dream dominion of theirs called Kenya, the oligarchy now purports to cut decisive corners on behalf of We, the people. They proceed to behave as if such elitist whims, like rigging elections and going for more constitutional tinkering without sorting out the rigging, are holy and binding and leave no alternative. Hoewbeit we have a whole battery of sycophants on cue, prophesying secret-deal Handshakes work magic. --Of Jesus we used to sing Piny gi Polo winjo duonde! Yembe makech kuwe thi kendo apaka boch e sa! Neye Yesu Jasayun ma ng'a moyie wachne dhiyo e Ngima Mosiko Canaan!(The Heavens and Earths Hearken to his call High Winds thaw, rolling bolders calm This is Holy Jesus whose word casts the believers To eternal life in Canaan. From what I gather, The Handshake is like The Heavens ordered for Kenya. It is a tremendous exercise in deception. But the good thing is there is enough fakeness seeping through to hint at an awareness of a theatrical rendition, desperate. Yes, there are slips of the tongue, there are wrong notes played --like Uhuru's state-of-the union apology for unnamed crimes. DESMOND TUTU: To forgive you, tell us in your own words what you did or didn't. That is confess, that we know you know too, how horrendous you have been. Desmond might have added: and so will you cease to be the beast you were before you came to my august presence, I Tutu! And don't forget these odd tangos where DP Ruto goes to say Hi to a local Mzee, only to find him deep in siesta, or at his yoga lessons, or having his weekly blow-job session! Oh!? so you think that is being disrespectful!? I was actually being nice. Giving Moi a playboy's end. There are other dirtier ends thinkable for faded monsters in the African library. And they have been enacted elsewhere, and therefore precedents. CJ's Willy Mutunga and David Maraga etc etc, forbid the questioning of Moi on historical injustices.And then Charles Taylor, done in by none other than the guarantor of his safety, Obasanjo! But anyway, I wanted a lighter note today: playboy stuff. This brings me to your pet project, Agwambo, the Luo Elders and their multi councils. These are a quarrelsome bunch of nearly dement, half corpses whose stench you love to carry around with you. No sooner had you gathered them a banquet at your Bondo abodes, appointed yourself Whip, Judge, Juror, peacemaker and spokesman, than the deal you connived broke down in farty exchanges. Some very funny communiques were issued by a rebel faction which claims institutional legitimacy. Continued.

PRIMITIVE VERSUS BACKWARD, THE TALE OF TWO WINGS OF THE LUO COUNCIL OF ELDERSIt is either the professional compulsion as a teacher, or else a remnant of my days as a bureaucrat tasked to processing reports upwards, that I retain a habit of carefully reading position statements of contestants in any issue. My boss never had time to read anything apart from social gossip which could be weaponised in the power struggles of the day. It was an insane world I was glad to flee! But the reading of diverse opinions had become fun in an environment where there was only one line, from the top! That is when you have a ring seat to study the complicated relationship between sycophancy and ambition! Anyway I like good inputs, therefore for instance, for fun, I read the whole of Dr. John Yoo's torture memos, the legal opinion the academic and bureaucrats used to underwrite Bush&Chenney's use of torture in the fight against terrorism. I failed to be impressed, such that later, listening to the great Harvard constitutional lawyer and apparent Renaissance mind, Professor Barrack Obama, I puked because he failed to throw the Gauntanamo Bay--- bullsh!t out of the window instantly. I knew at once the Luo boy was another one, a stone-age emperor. Our Barrack was no child of the enlightenment. Sad, Barrack would be in his elelment amongst the Ongadi or Otondi factions, marooned in the dark ages! NB: Currently I am waiting to read Donald Trump's argumentation on why, on May 12 2018, he will decide to abrogate the Obama-sanctioned Iran Nuclear deal - (The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action). NB: My thinking is The USA does not have Iran's long frozen money, not even a tiny bit of it. DC is broke, and so are her darling friends (like France with its mannequin president, or the UK in her horror of Brexit paroxysm). If the deal stands, the USA has to foot up to $100-150Bn. This is part of all that frozen loot since the Mullahs came to power. There is also the case of all that up-front cash paid by the Shah for arms which were never delivered to the Islamic republic. Arbitrators have consistently ruled the Islamic republic is legally entitled to the pile. Obama looked at the accumulated interest alone, and balked. Bailing out Wall Street was enough quagmire! An Iranian academic shrugged: we don't want your investment, let alone begging for it. We just want our own cash stashed in your thieving banks. With it we can comfortably shop around the world, becoming major investors ourselves with all that cash, our own cash! But it is understood even with the EU and Canada chipping in, the USA is not in a state to credit Iran $10bn cash at ago, even if Trump were minded to. This truth was established when Obama was president And of course this bit: Germany keeps her gold in the USA. Has since her capitulation in 1945. But when Angela Merkel was recently forced to go see it the gold story was still golden for real, the Americans refused. --WHY!? Opinion is divided. And with it, Germany. But there is one which the German Central Bank wont discuss: There is no German Gold in America! I am really longing for the long opinion of the Bundesbank on why they can't see their own gold at Trump's Tower, the FED or Fort Knox! But I will do with this A German gold activist: yes I read the catalogue and know the serial numbers off head, but I haven't seen the gold yet and verified by a head count! Do you live by the words of your central banker? I do, as an academic exercise is statistics! Meanwhile, there is no shortage of local content for amusement. I indulge my juices reading the opinion of the recalcitrant Luo Council of Elders, the Non-Siaya wing. The meeting in Bondo was not duly convened. Pre-conclusions were presented as passed. No agenda was attended beforehand by the secretariats. There was arrogant unilateralism. The media briefing ambushed some, reducing them to figurants endorsing arguable points. Such a grave meeting could only have been called at the official headquarters of the LEC! Raila is free to install his own puppet council of elders, or join the other wing as an apprentice elder! And a host of other procedural matters which really tops fun. The Siaya-leaning wing has released a hot rejoinder. They claim the rebels are ANDHOGA, being usedfor a price--- by the enemies of the Luo to depict Raila negatively! It is all as stupid as it gets when b!tches bicker in public. Then you don't need a handshake, you need a whip! Let me wait for Dennis Onyango to spin the sh!t into some toffee! And I will be back!

NB: Currently I am waiting to read Donald Trump's argumentation on why, on May 12 2018, he will decide to abrogate the Obama-sanctioned Iran Nuclear deal - (The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action). FOOTNOTE: NEW CIA DIRECTOR GINA HASPEL'S TORTURE DILEMMA, IN RETROSPECTDuty, the corruption of power, ambition, hindsight and learning curves .... For those who read history, there is no shortage of examples of The Dark Side emerging to conquer and run public life. But there are these interesting moments when, frozen moment, Dark Siders are brought into the limelight and asked a few direct questions. Then they start to run away from themselves, their minds lost somewhere. Their answers are always a treasure. Long live The Lie. A former Gatchacha Judge who stared a lot into the eyes of The Interahamwe Dark Siders wouldn't ---the morbid fascination continues--- miss a public hearing in which a torturer, lost to the dark side like Gina Blackspots Haspels of the CIA, is tasked, even mildly, to put in her own words, the bad, the good and the evil as she understands her duties, now and then. SENATOR HARRIS AND GINA HASPELS TANGO Is torture immoral, Gina? But Gina isn't so sure, may be she wasn't so sure when she run the program in Thailand, but now, older and --of learning curves--- wiser, she doubts the morality of it all! Or well, it was legal wasn't it, all that torture, top lawyers kind of said it was --merely enhanced interrogation technics anyway-- okay; nor did her superiors disagree! And Befell is Befell! No!? I am always intrigued, by the same song. No, it wasn't me, I was only obeying my orders. Whether it is the NAZI Hitlerite extermination of Jews or the gunning down of demonstrators in African cities, the individual perpetrator professes mindlessness. Yet the mind is the key human faculty. So it came to pass that the Miguna Miguna is a Canadian horror show, enacted by the likes of General Kihalangwa and Dr. Fred Matiang'i, forced me to take a cultural in-depth at what we had going at the Nairobi bureaucracy. I thought of a precedent thus FICTITIOUS NATIONS HAVE NO IDENTITY, THEY ARE VIRTUAL REALITIES!Hanna Arendt was a philosopher, German Jew who escaped NAZI Germany in 1933. She became a naturalised American citizen and, as a journalist thinker, was commissioned by The New Yorker to Jerusalem, to cover the trial of Eichmann. This Adolf Eichmann was a super efficient and ambitious bureaucrat of no known moral qualms. His genius was the clock-work efficiency with which the trains ferrying deportees to the concentration camps, paced. Arendt's Jerusalem assignment produced a controversial work: Eichman: THE BANALITY OF EVIL. Summarised: Now, so that we travel together, take a look at General Kihalangwa, head of immigration to all practical purposes. Aint he one hell of a faithful servant to the Nairobi regime? A nice orderly and loyal family man doing his best in nation guarding as ordered by his superiors. I see no evil lurking behind his placid mask, do you!? I am sure he really believes he is too busy with the important to attend court summons by idlers like Odunga and Maraga types! --Bandia judiciary! The world runs on such obedient men. No faculty to question an order. That would be mutiny! The Banality of Evil!? Really this was the phrase in my mind as I watched Gina Haspel unable to come to terms with the term IMMORALITY, vis-a-vis torture! O Fates! Surprise me, with a criminal who shoots straight with a criminal who when caught will admit the point: One to say Heck, I can think, I knew exactly what I was doing: It was immoral and illegal, that is why I destroyed the evidence! Those Black sites were places for psychos and sickos, lost pervert souls! It was bestiality and debauchery more animal than the dungeon of The Marquis!
And we did it mor for sexual pleasure than in defence of The Homeland!DARK NB: break a buckOn the other hand, I read a lot about the Nuremberg trials; but the best part I thought are the subterranean jokes about it in German culture. These are jokes which are considered too hot to be let fly under the banner of free speech. They are banned stuff. A lot of people will know there is a saying in Europe: Germans do not have a sense of humour. That is because Germany is schizophrenic. There is official Germany --bureaucratically efficient and robotic and pretending to be as gentle as a lam, and there is the real Germany of Germans. Tired of being the wolf in sheepskin, the real Germany is slowly emerging these days. It is the identity politics of the alternative for current Germany. Like everybody else, the Germans love, after a large drink, a good laugh everyday, even about themselves, and their ancestors, like the NAZI exterminators. ---Long ago my German girl told me this one after a Munchem carnival out: Genocides and holocausts are like arz-holes, nearly every country is hiding one. Problem is Germany's arz-hole is as big as Angela Merkel's butt, so it is beyond hiding. Every ape and baboon therefore has a field day, forgetting his and pointing at Germany's ahead! It was only in the next day late in the morning when I belatedly accused her of having inclinations toward holocaust denial, using self-serving relativity. But it was more the intellectual foreplay for another round of bodily excess. Anyway, the other thing I thought of as Gina dodged questions, was that she is a first for the CIA. Where Hilary Clinton missed being a first female as POTUS, Gina suxeeds to set the precedent at the Company. It reminded me of the last boss of my favourite playboy spy, 007. (They say he is evolving so much very soon he will be a she, and black! Goodbye blue-eyed tall huge blonde male!) It was a big deal, James Bond had a female boss! It would appear, I missed the story, the head of British Intelligence, M, finally became a female. Talking of incestuous old-boy networks and glass ceilings ordained by millennia of snobbish sexism, she had to deal with having balls which she had in plenty, even as, coming from her stiff upper-lipped mouth, acted by Dame Judy Dench, the ball's angle always left a sour taste in the mouth. Perhaps fiction was winking at reality? We wait to read the spy novels written by Gina Haspels when she retires. Lets hope the censor wont redact them from page one to last, the way the CIA redacted that report to congress! And lets hope too, her mind will not itself be wholy redacted the way we heard it at those congress confirmation hearings!

THE HANDSHAKE: NO NEWS ON OIL AGWAMBO?Well, there is, your excellency! RUTO IN TURKANA, 2022, A SECOND ATTEMPT AT NUANCE! When he was campaigning for the Jubilee ticket with Uhuru, an arrogant DP Ruto visited Turkana with disastrous consequences. He talked of everything else apart from THE toxic RATIO OF OIL REVENUES: Turkana: KenyaGovt. The Kenya government does not necessarily represent the people. It can be too corrupt, too full of rigging, too distant and incompetent. Smart accounting and smart public policy is beyond her scope. So we see vision 2030 increasingly looks a DEBT PIT of a permanent home. There is no chance to steal the bureaucrats and politicians of Nairobi saw they didn't maximize. www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2001227743/turkana-leaders-criticise-ruto-s-visit-accuse-him-of-forcing-leaders-on-locals Vast natural resources and a stone-age people confronting predatory capitalism, is always a story for history. Examples are easy, like 'Hottentots' and Diamond exploitation in Botswana! Recently in Turkana too, things were not much better when Ruto visited Turkana HABEMUS A DEAL! nb: AL Saud, from whom the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is named, negotiated the deal of deals with the powers that be in exchange for the oil under his sands! I used to think governor Nanok had some historical instincts like the desert fox. That he would have the wit to hire and edifice a team of international legal experts to help Turkana negotiate the deal of the milenium in exchange for their black gold! Check who Tullow hired for their corner! But Nanok is Laibon Lenana 1904 Ogirimiti redux, aint he!? cheap fool! Footnote.

foonote: THE NANOK-OURU TURKANA OIL DEAL: A COLONIAL NARRATIVE JOKED!
Waste, corruption and the allocation of significant resources to DEBT management --repay, servicing and currency defence, form a tandem from which escape can take centuries. Like Haiti, or Turkana!
Here is the ruthless rule. When the resources (and the state) are captured by a non-productive, unproductive and consumer rather than investment obsessed faction of the elite, the result is invariably STAGNATION, doom and collective ruin. The trick about classical capitalism is that her bourgeoisie are VISIONARY,long-term PRODUCTIVITY investors. They have a world view. That is why to start things up, they revolutionised the whole school and educational system. They opened (universalied) and fashioned education to many years of technical proficiency, scientifism and engineering. One spectacular technical achievement was, for instance, the capacity of being anywhere in the world and telling what time it was, back home in Greenwich England. This allowed England to rule the waves with her navy and dominate commercial shipping. The political downside at home was, meritocratically said, sons of tarts and the lowest born now, because of their mastery of sea lanes, took charge and issued commands to high-born aristocrats who, products of incest, were too mentally menial to be captains of anything in the changed world.
NB: Imagine the ferocious mind of Margaret Thatcher doomed to serving as chambermaid to a dimwit like the eternal crown Prince, Charles, just because he is a royal! Only in the dark ages before classical capitalism.
Well, If you want your profit the next financial year, or go to bed with a reading of your stock market wins for the day --you want it all and now like the Yemeni-born Freddy Mercury sang in Queen, then stories about state of the art primary schools and laboratories in secondary schools to nurture scientific talent and let them slowly ripen in technical universities, are Gujarati to your deaf years, and no music to your dead head.
Which brings me to this import.
When state-head Ouru Kenyatta and Governor Nanok of Turkana recently boasted their OIL bounty-sharing parley, I missed the nuclear-bomb detail. The divine clause. They didn't say anything about the realisation within a 5-year term, of technical primary schools, technical secondary schools, an oil technical institute and, to crown it all up, an oil technology university in Turkana. All state of the art. To dash Turkana at warp-speed from pre-history to tomorrow!
I can do handshakes yes, but I got standards! one can't live for a time in modern Germany and fail to be infected with a kind of technical mania! (and better that, than nationalist fervor!)
Haha! (If you have no imagination ---cheeky like those who authored the 27km underground toy to accelerate electrons, CERN, under the Swiss Alps! or those who launched the faculty where the likes of Isaac Newton graduated a millennium ago!) you can just copy how ARAMCO mutated camel-minded Saudis to OIL-MINTED SHEIKHS in one generation! They introduced something called Maths, Petro Physics and organo-chemical engineering at IVY-LEAGUE competent levels, right from Nursery school!
Funnily, for men only!
But then, the Saudi's had enough oil to afford such stupidity, dictating women can't do petrochemical studies, play netball in skimpy wear nor drive oil-tankers! They can, and thinking of Thatcher, kick even silly male machismo arz like Galtieri! (invaded the Malvinas without a follow-up plan! Thatcher to her war cabinet: listen girls, I will show this general who's got balls!)
But here are Uhuru Kenyatta and silly Nanok out to treat the whole of Turkana youth like the Saudi's treated their women last century!
Hehe! What a pair of goats!
Even a COLONIAL REGIME doesn't get more ANTI-NATIVE than this oily-fingered LAIBON-LENANA DEAL BY TWO BLACK KENYANS!
But even the worst of colonial regimes never excel at waste, like hinted below.
NB: CERN TOY and the toy costs?

PONDERING AN INCIDENT
We now know the latest round of graft revelations which have shaken the country, have only come about due to in-fighting between the Uhuru and Ruto camps. It was a dispute in greed which could not be amicably resolved.
In fact, we are made to understand it was all deeper than deeply buried, and had one side not swindled their partner in crime, it all could have gone HUSH-HUSH, like it did with NYS-1. Howbeit, we understand, it was partly the fear of what you, Agwambo Tinga, in your auspice as the (may be) peoples president, would do with the scandals on the outside, that made The Cartel finally impose upon Uhuru Kenyatta to go for a parley, that is to hand- shake or cheque you as the case may be. With you inside, ndani ndani kabisa, defending jubilee by default, legitimating Uhuru's tenure by purpose, having killed the opposition by mobilising and compromising the ODM which you own, The Cartels can buy time to reorganise, to re-strategise and use the breathing space to EVACUATE their cash to safer havens. They can also meanwhile tie-up a few tell-tale ends, like fudge evidence and files, and, come to think of it, anoint a few lambs to sacrifice and appease the howling mobs. This is where unfortunate girls like Lillian Omollo Mbogo come in.
We understand, as you and Ouru met the now truly absent-minded Kibaki, none other than Joseph Kinyua was pressing Lillian Omollo in the same building to pay up extortionists and rogue dealers --with connections! Imagine fighting corruption with lieutenants like Joseph Kinyua in command at your side!
Comedy upon Farce! How corrupt is Lillian Omollo really?
Agwambo you are too seasoned to be played for a fool. So I do believe you are ndani, ndani kabisa. Flocking together with your fellow birds of the same feathers. A plutocratic bonanza. Saving the class rule.
A caravan of bandits!

LETTER TO AGWAMBO, 24-06-18 This is a Luo Pivot Post: First a disclaimer National Ethos? just implement chapter six and integrity clause. Divisive elections? end riggings at all levels! Countries work when everybody does their jobs for the fair pay. But here we are, needing a handshake to implement what is in the constitution! --a meritocracy! That above --briefed from the office of David Nzioka Waita who is the man who for some time has been in charge of the presidential delivery unit----- is the HANDSHAKe BULLSH!T. But this is the real deal, 2022 and after! Power-Play is the real move. But it is bigger than William Ruto, it is class survival. All Bandits must unite, or their order end. This is a Luo Pivot Post. A. THINKING THE HANDCHEQUE AT OUR LOCAL: THE RE-IMPLOSION OF THE INTELLECT OF BEST AND BRIGHTEST Agwambo Yo, a handshake takes two hands. Otherwise it is a No-tango. The old and correct word remains cheque-book diplomacy! This is when a power pays one to comply, the resist rest is propaganda. This handcheque diplomacy we recently witnessed at the United Nations. Trumps delegate to the body, the forthright Nicky Haley, sated openly how she conducts business and the USA has done. This is how come Kenya, after embarrassing herself taking American cash but failing to produce vote, had to perform a floor-lick as one of the very few who attended the Jerusalem launch of the moved American embassy. That is my boy, Macharia Kamau. He was otherwise engaged making merry with the kids at a picnic in Central Park than be bothered with Nicky Haley's neurotic demands! No, we couldn't miss the opening of the embassy in Jerusalem. The holiday season was over! Of handshakes with Donald Trump, Nairobi could even be thinking of moving her embassy to Jerry, like Guatemala already followed suit! But of course we can spin, we did this to further the Palestinian cause, in fact, by the eloquence of his silence, the 2nd-tier PS for foreign affairs Ababu Namwamba informs me he did the Salem jig to show our solidarity with the historic struggle for nationhood by the Palestinians. What a bandit kid! What a turn coat! I am informed he was not always a bandit, our Namwamba. He was once a rising star on the progressive barricades. He used to be the future once --to use a David Cameron phrase. But like Aisha Jumwa of Malindi and a host of other ODM Mpigs from coast now rebelled, Ruto came calling on the ODM kraal, found it open for business, waved a fisftfull of dollars and, behold, like Lady Kirke on the famished veterans from Troy, the Singh turned them all, hogs to his herd, Ndani-Ndani! Yes, following the handshake, the ODM is a wheelbarrow of toads on the look-out for rich landings to jump! On the other hand, the capture and domestication of ex Jenerali Namwamba, who was the ODM SG and a bright young Turk apparent, was like, in military terms, a political operation the calibre of the Israeli raid in Tunis which assassinated Abu Jihad in 1988. Born Khalil al-Wazir, Abu Jihad was Yasser Arafat's deputy. He was also the military chief and a co-founder of Fatah. Yes, Ababu was hardcore ODM, supposedly, and supposedly going places. Until he was nicked. ISRAEL STRIKES AT THE HEART OF THE PLO Much gloat and wild cheer did the Israeli naval commandos who did the dare, harvest for this victory. In fact, Arafat's lips still trembled with sorrow in old age, remembering that day the (elite commando unit) Sayeret Matkal owned him. There was talk of inter-Arab betrayal in the mix. Betrayal, a constant human theme! But back to our shores, chores and mores. HOW DO WE EXPLAIN WILLIAM RUTO'S SUCCESSFUL FORAYS TO THE CENTER OF ODM!? It does not look like a vision thing to me. Neither is it a tale of ideals. So what is it then!? Undying love? A fatal attraction!? An ordained suicidal pact!? Me says it is all in the hand, THE CHEQUE, with the SHAKE. As for the demised General Ababu, I think he was a double-gamer. A Manchurian candidate who reached a dead-end and had to surface. There are moments in a crisis when bluffs are called and fakes must run! This (coming to a head) is what happened on January 30th 2018, when Kalonzo and Wetang'ula's bluffs were called and they freaked out! (since then they are left-over, the ugly ones condemned to matelessness, or self-mating!) THE PEOPLES PRESIDENT ABDICATES, WHAT MYSTERY? But then Agwambo, now that you too have absconded from the auspices of the Peoples Presidency, meseems you ar no better than a sell-out. You are merely a political cover for one of the greatest rotten regimes of the post-colonial era. It appears some of your trusted lieutenants have learnt to read you through. They transparentise you the way TEAM MAFISI would the darkest of veils. Where others like James Bond would need to have see-through-gadgets to get the point or shape as it were, Team Mafisi are only armed with the natural x-ray specs embedded in their minds: foolproof analysis! You see, in the great CO-OPERATION MOVE, you covered for Daniel Arap Moi, affording his KANU a desperate longevity in exchange for the ENERGY docket and the Molasses thingy. Quid pro Quo, no!? Moi's investment in you later paid off in a huge bonus when you, Raila paired with Kibaki, and immediately put paid to John Githong'o's attempts to recover The Moi fortune, looted from public koffers. That was the late 1990's. Come 2018, Just before the current hype about the war on corruption, you and Uhuru Kenyatta were paying court to Arap Moi. The details of such aristocratic pacts of dynastic perpetuation may be secret, but the CHINEKE THE BIRD cannon has a habit of always being the wall-fly at the right room! The Hustler Singh has been telling us stories. And the corrupted chorus from his corrupted court --tenors like Kipchumba Murkomem, has something of a Greek tragi-comedy in it. But man, don't he have a tongue, especially now that their patron and lord benefactor has the fight of his life, besieged by classmates. Revelation by Kikuyu KIMANI ICHUNGWA: it was cartels who took Uhuru Kenyatta to the ICC in the Hague! The emotional flow suggests he believes and means it! A mental lock! They say the pot can call the kettle black, but they both remain birds of the same feathers. Such birds are doomed to flock together, if only to mate and perpetuate their species! The rest, like this war on corruption, are minor irritations between good business partners. Those of us who come from Luo-Nyanza which is the 'Odinga caliphate' or (feudal qualification) fiefdom, get the point instinctively. It is an ODM MONOPOLY protectorate or backyard where nepotism, clientellism and all the over worms which grind the woodwork of stale historical forms, manifest themselves. In fact the current Kavirondo statecraft is a perfect match to a mini CARTEL-run or failed STATE. If we remember the talk of African kleptocracy, tropical gangsters running bandit states or effectively maffioso regimes, I don't put ODM Nyanza above that categorisation! Eh, Those Eduard Ouko reports that don't lie. They are not exclusively about Jubilee Nairobi central government. B: KILLING THE OPPOSITION WITH THE HANDSHAKE

PART TWO: DEMOBILISING THE LAKELAND INTELLECT, OF CULLING MINDS WITH A HANDSHAKE
First, a disambiguation: The Handshake killed the opposition for what it was. The National unity song we hear the bandits so throatfully bellow, is a one-party state in effect. That is an old trick, now a desperate gimmick to reconcile the yawning canyon between the forming, compartmentally consolidating classes ----even WITHIN one ethnic group. There are irreversible transitions offing. A national Unity Act needs a ruthless deal of economic justice across the board. That is an agenda beyond a BANDIT'S PACT. Beyond a comprador parley. That is a too Big an Agenda for the banditry class, just like Industrialisation too is!
So what is up, that a lot of 'OUR' birds no longer sing the way they are beaked!? --lUO pIVOT! (Winyo ka winyo gi ywakne, to ang'o momiyo Ochongo-Oriyo tinde ywak ywak-Oyundi!? to Atutu keko Nyanyodhi!? Piny odogo omer kaka Owino Misiani nowero, koso en ang'o Jokanyarnnam!?)
I have to reference Samora Machel some. He once reminisced at length how the struggle forges new personality. This is an aspect of the dynamics of liberation, we could even say, cultural liberation, psychological transformation, from defensive mechanisms to offensive activism. The peoples struggle is exacting, it taxes and drives militants and combatants to discover radical depths of courage and endurance. They delve deeper unto the self, unearth resolve, resoluteness and the ingenuity of original solutions. This is to face and survive the superior forces or firepower of the ruthless and cold-blooded enemy. Yes, The Struggle has her Big Agenda's too and they can be named! (though I don't dare for fear of trivialising a word for which some countries fought 70 years non-stop hot war (modern Vietnam!) and yet others 80 (pre-renaissance Holland). The word, liberation.
As pressure from the grassroots and wider public cornered the ODM bureaucracy to conduct a peoples presidential oath after the successful boycott of the repeat presidential election of 2017, Your Highness Amollo Tinga and thy coterie of duplicituous courtiers ran out of excuses and political poker tales to postpone the inevitable. This bluff-calling culminated in the January 30th fanfare, when the people expressed their power in a defiance whose ramifications are not yet fully understood, but did represent a tectonic shift in paradigms.
In the run to this historic event, even as official scribes do their best to belittle it as mock or kalongolongo, I noticed a creeping metamorphosis expressing itself at the top of the ODM. That was when I caught the illict Samora Machel wink: Continua!?
Howbeit ouur crop of lawyers organised in the ODM, a good bunch of them claiming origins from our Lakesideshores, displayed us a glimpse of potentials hitherto untapped. Legislators like Opondo Kaluma of HomaBay city, achieved Emeritus status at law. They fronted such spectacular intellect and tenacious readings of law the other side had no option but to boycott debates, outclassed. Rarieda Otiende Amollo for instance, when professor Githu Muigai as AG lost his mind after too much consumption of tea sweetened with mercurised sugar I suppose, did a Solomonic job in standing upright on his head, this now self-disgraced Attorney General Githu.
Then there is James Orengo, now senate minority leady or something like that after the worm Weta was eaten by the birds. Ajimmy, rising to his pitch like an uncocked Teiresias of Thebes, 'issued' into a legal institute, a Nestor before whom all counsellors bowed and legal scholars gave the ear students gave Socrates in his Athenian masterclasses. When learned friend Githu Muigai, like a dead oracle, pronounced treason and hanging for thee, Agwambo, should you be sworn-in, counsellor Orengo reduced him to a pedestrian at law, to think of Ababu's favourite phrase. Too, when time came to argue Miguna's incommunicado kidnapping by the flying squad before legally constituted courts, it became obvious the other side had to have an epileptic consult: Miguna was deported home, to Nyando in Canada, in the dark of the night! Otiende and Orengo were like Gods in court: no mortal argues with the words of God.
And who can ever forget the iconic duo of Tom Kajwang' and The Big Mig himself, General Miguna Miguna!? They became other worldly, priests in the occult of liberation. There was something religious, insidious, even suicidal about their courage and public dare: come what may, death be death, life be life, and jail be jail. The struggle for what is right, standing up for justice, had willed them, fortified their resolve and uncocked their hidden selves hitherto unknown to the public too. They have become iconic. They touched base with the masses yearning for a better future. Tapped the current of a deep, live African wire. They were fighting the good fight in conviction mode.
NB: This is the trouble with Miguna Miguna. Tom Kajwang' is different. This experience was profound. He has since become more priestly, privately contemplative and a deeper thinker. He will be back, hopefully more tenacious, hardened and far, far sighted. Miguna Miguna is the opposite of silence. He is already a towering man as it is, but the whole world still has to know he exists. The whole world does know, but has to know again, and again, always. MM is so articulate and loud he drives fools mad. He suffers none. The clever who ignore him know in their hearts they surrender pride. The idiots who heckle him are mostly hired and of neither known nor own thoughts. --Consider this piece for a quick run on your wits.
To demolish the import of the General's message therein, requires a disputation at a thesis level. Miguna is demanding. So in the absence of Handshake thinkers to counterpunch him point for point, truth for lie, I guess he has to be given the treatment the Soviet authorities gave penetrating dissidents like Andrei Sacharov. Banish to Siberia! Excommunicate! (The apartheid regime also used to 'ban' people, banish them to official non-existence!) But such people tend to remain the unseen elephant in the room.
This absence of
. .. how should I put it
. .. a handshake intellectual couterpunching to the logic of NRMke Miguna, creates a dangerous problem for Miguna Miguna himself. It poisons him further with a superiority complex: (They can't face me in court. My mind would scorch them. They can only use their goons and thugs to drug me by force and send my brain asleep!) It risks inflating him to a dangerous bubble. It also evokes putrid hate. Miguna is a brave man by any measure. He dared hired, howling Luo hoodlums in his 'provocative' book promotion tours. The Raila base was livid at his peeling back of the mask of Agwambo, The top Egwugwu. His intellect and its assertive bravura sensationalised and scandalised Kenya, his boisterous twang a fertile ground for comedy. His constant appearance on TV to ever articulate the ILLEGITIMACY of Uhuruto reputedly drove Ouru Kenyatta off viewing. Nation TV and Larry Madowo were warned off the man, creating a tiff between The Aga-Khan owner and his best journalists. Double M called everybody's bluff at law and laughed as he ticked the points off his fingers to consolidate his arguments. His work ethic and innovation of a (detailed) manifesto to buttress his run for Nairobi governor, looked like the talk of a space program to stone-agers!
His scathing tongue introduced a bend to polemics which went beyond Kenya's infantile senses. Miguna was CULTURALLY AWAKE! Bitten by the ALUTA bug!
'Matiang'i is a convicted criminal --fined 200k for ignoring a court order. By law, this law clause this cheaper this, he is unfit to hold public office! He is nothing! A zero before the law and constitution!' thundered the Big Mig on TV! Kenyans gaped, open mouthed!
Please please Mr. New Attorney General, you have to dispute this: Is Fred Matiang'i a convicted criminal by Kenyan laws, and should have resigned ages ago!?
WELL, PINY LUORORE, COME THE HANDSHAKE!
This was the killing of the opposition. The traitorous co-operation once over. And in its wake, as if in a choreographed drama, broke the spate of corruption scandals open. (Our current 'witchhunt targetting a particular ethnicity'!)
And then the horror unfolded. Minds went a-jamming!
Men like Opondo Kaluma who had discovered their fluent selves in the defence of what was right, imploded into stuttering, confused infertile sheep. The minds of our best and brightest screeched to sudden stops, their tongues burnt dry and unable to sound bite with coherence. The new HOLY-HANDSHAKE hymns hurriedly drafted by the party rang hollow. The lines are lies which betray the cause, meaningless and they know it inside. Nay, the joke goes in Bondo, when Otiende Amollo has to speak with forked tongue, thereby making his proud self a moron in public, his mind so rebels he has to ever revert to comedy to save face. And so it was a fit of karma that he couldn't listen to the lies no-more one day, and he collapsed, and had to be rushed to hospital --citing malaria! (Pache osegoyore piny, koro dende bende okwer oluwe kuro, giruombre rat!)
So goes the joke: NB: Remember a man called David Opar who was chairman of Gor Mahia, collapsed in Kaloleni social hall Nairobi when the fanbase resolved and delegated him to go and tell Arap Moi the name Gor Mahia was not going to be changed: --Opar ndik piny, idhi iwach ni Mochu noero, ni ok wanalok nying Gor mondo wachake Min-Moi, to pod obiro mana bet Gor --GITHWON!
The pressure got to the head of the chairman and he passed out clean! He could neither go to Arap Moi with such a suicidal message, nor tell off animated Gor fans! He passed out under overwhelming internal blood pressure! (but that was not what the newspapers reported the next day!)
Omiyo, Omera Otiende, a powerful mind is a curse. For Mwai Kibaki to switch his off and make a decades-long career in idiocy, he had to be a total drunk. -Mi ool pi e suruari komer! In iparo Mwai Kibaki ng'at rieke nene lich kendo wiye bith kamacha, di ne bed jakong'o ma layo e suruari nang'o?
Culturally speaking -Because he had to permanently switch off his mind to be able to serve under things like Arap Moi. That thing now approaching his grave and going for Mwai Kibaki, is not the true Mwai Gikonyo. It is a mutant. A realised Mwai ka Gikonyo, I repeat, is the peer of the likes who authored the phrase, Asian Tiger economy. The mutant Mwai bequeathed us what in Trumpian terms is called a sh!thole republic!
With horror after the handshake do I see the recidivism, the need of our best and brightest to go back to sycophantic, ODM-ORCHESTREATED mental death, or courtier-induced intellectual coma. To survive in the morgue-yard of ODM bureaucracy, a racket now compromised to the hilt with scam, the likes of Orengo now sulk in seething silence whilst others try a comedy where all the laughs are on them. That is when the struggle is abandoned, minds go limp.
This is why I will stalk Miguna Miguna. His tongue and his mind are still aligned. And they are on the LIBERATION channel. Actually, that is the only show in Africa: liberation!
Topic na Biso --sole topic! Aluta!
I will be back.
This is a Luo pivot post!

OBAMA'S SCAVENGER'S SMILE X-RAYED
One was Uhuru Kenyatta, the other William Ruto Then there was an Odinga, the one they called Tinga.
They imported sugar, they primed it with copper Their future was bright, thinking of the double profit
They saw far ahead and acted to make a fortune They would import the drugs to temper the epidemic For the children of Kenya would be sick with copper toxins.
ROTICH STARS IN A COMPRADOR ORGY
The Cartels had a b!tch, her name was Rotich, and she had an itch For cash she opened all holes, and payloads gushed in to top her up The poison of self-hate in her heart condensed into the mercury in our tea Slowly in our hearts gathered a storm: the fury of the Erinyes outta a tea-cup!
Came Obama, saw no evil, heard some but smiled on The international scene was hostile to the United States She had become a raw scavenger attracted to any carcass Obama's beaming smile, an indulgence of Bechtel pecking rot!
O what a rich picking Libya was! Hilary in a fit over a stick up the colonel's hinds! And Obama no drama loved every bit of it –-eyed cold! (Yee Marley, did you say all you ever had were the songs of Liberty?)

Kenyan opposition leader Odinga sworn in as 'people's president'ACHTUNG: This is a Luo Pivot Post! POPULAR PARTY ODM TO HANDPICK MIGORI SENATOR!? AND OTHER STORIES But are the people on board the MV Chicanery? The 'D' between the 'O' and 'M' is for Democracy you pitched? Or is it for degenerated in reality? -This handshake thingy, I feared the worst, has culled the progressive sprout of thought which had gripped our local, legal elite. This metamorphosis to the cult of Kodhek, was their forced response to the grassroots-driven march forward, toward the swearing-in of Agwambo as the peoples president on January 30th 2018. That was the day of the treasonables! an illustrious battery of OKILMAKALOKAS one with The People, and the peoples president! It is a moment to savor. An exquisite cultural meal! ENTER THE HANDSHAKE!Starehe Jaguar and Embakasi East Babu, do a a parody on the Uhuru-Raila handjobPost the handshake now, all signs are a relapse, back to a brainlessness and political empty-headedness easily the equivalent of Kipchumba Murkomem today. With every open of his mouth these days, the poisonous senator from arid KAMETUSA outposts (where hailed from the likes of incompetent but relatively decent David Kimaiyo), looks to be tripping his boss William Ruto to his political grave. Aiming to enlist Raila Odinga as the perfect scapegoat in the latest round of Mau evictions, the senate majority leader has only managed to stoke the fires of ethnic antagonism between the Maasai and the Kalenjin. On top of that, he has missed the point of conserving a water-catchment-area whose degeneration by human settlement is already an undisputed ecological disaster. Such 'Murkomiem' political offerings is, unfortunately, now the tanking station of prominent Luo lawyer politicians who, only yesterday alongside the now exorcised Miguna Miguna, set the resistance bar skywards. In fact in those heady days as the swearing-in fever peaked, some of us who know our story were carried away enough to grin the CMG grin. That grin is Arguings Kodhek lionised, iconised, lawyering up the peoples case, in that case, the Mau Mau accused. These were stunning, devastating displays of intellect and legal command which led to the funny: Aguengeni en kes akesa mosemako to oseloyo. Ma eri e Okil Kamaloka ngero molokore dhano! ----This Arguings every case he argues is a win. He could be the devil's advocate and walk over God in court! The personification of legal defence. GEORGE RAMOGI on KODHEK: (KA KODHEK ONINDO) George Ramogi, popularly known as Omogi wuod Weta, was the leader of the popular band, Continental Kilo Jazz, later baptised to CK Dumbe Dumbe. This band is where Luoland guitar legends like Paul Orwa Jasolo, George Ojijo and Auma Jamawego plied their stuff in such famous songs like Agai Koyier, Best Wishes to Con, Anyango Beldina, and of course Afline the Pretty. But Ramogi also had the gift to offer renditions which captured the collective pain and trauma of the people of the lake. And there were several terrible ones. The murder of Tom Mboya --done as Rapar wuon Osimbo; Ajali ya Kendu --when, popular legend has it, a hired section of the Kenya navy frogmen torpedoed a ferryboat rumoured to be carrying a political big-wig the Kenyatta-Kiambu mafia wanted to assassinate. The horror saw over one hundred drown. Ramogi penned a legendary song, Ajali ya Kendu. (In this respect, some will remember too, that, running to the disappearance of JM Kariuki in 1975, there was a bomb blast in an OTC bus bound for Mombasa. Around ten Kenyans were killed I think. I heard tell in Nairobi when I was young, that it was the work of special branch squad under a man named Patrick Shaw. The target was JM Kariuki whom they had intel was escaping to TZ via a Mombasa OTC.) Kenya has always been dark. You know, like I am sure you know the other story of Chris Musando's murder. One of the perpetrators all but confessed to Ester Pessaris, the Nairobi women rep. Chris Musando was murdered by state operatives, and the story goes, Jacob Juma too. The list is long. It includes Robert Ouko and the GSU man who wouldn't be corrupted, Erastus Kirui Chemorei. Would, they still made musicians like George Ramogi. A Kirui Chemorei rap would now be --on boastful CHEMCHEM CITIZEN RADIO----- the heaviest hit announcing a moral resurgence of the land, the war on corruption, informing our adolescents to burn something else but not schoold dorms! I might just pen a text myself, seeing the Kalenjin rappers are too deep into worshipping corruption or the easy cash of The Singh. No, they never bothered heard of the moral fiber of the tragic hero, Erastus Kirui. They are ZOMBIE ZOMBIE, as Fella Kuti sang. But back to Arguings Kodhek then, 1969. To commemorate him, Omogi Omin Akumu penned: KODHEK SLEEPSThe Colonist wrought evil upon the land, but As a foundational rock Arguings wouldn't bulge,
Firm did Kodhek stand, there was Tom and Odinga too Re-enforcing the freedom struggle the way he knew best.
Kenyans filled concentration camps like Manyani, Jails like Lodwar overflowed with Kenyans black, All lawyers fled, not a single to be seen raising a petition, But Behold! tall Arguings stood determined to commit treason, This son of Odhek was ready to die for his people if need be!
O brave Arguings! O brave son of Odhek! Your head toiled unspeakable with your gift of barb! And freedom came! And now you lie dead leaving our hearts torn. All flags they fly at half-mast! O CMG! O that accursed accident!-------- And then Omogy indulged the customary Luo Siboyi or defiance which really drives others crazy. You saw it the other day par excellence, Miguna Miguna. His Siboyi incensed Uhuruto's attack dogs, Kihalangwa and Matiang'i, all doctorate holders, and non fake hopefully, into the insanity of sedating him and declaring, with drunken stupidity, that Nyando is in Canada! Omogy Jaweta put his insulting defiance it like this: O cannibals who felled CMG! Now you shy away from feasting on this beautiful meat!? Why do thee now draw away in cowardice from the treat? Is the estate of Arguings not rich enough for you to scavenge?
The lake becomes a chameleon now changing its colour to pain The land is in shock, an illustrious career has been cut that short Yet the spirit of the freedom struggle he fought, is everlast strong.------------------------------------------------------------------ WELL: Everlast strong spirits?? That, setting aside the possibility of Erinyes, the vengeful pursuit of justice, works out to Arguings Kodhek being the patron saint of all lawyers fighting the peoples corner. That is the legend of the man, the man from Malanga Gem, the Gem of the education enforcer, Chief Odera Akang'o, the Gem of the unbendable Wasonga Sijeyo, the coceitedly proud Omollo Okero, and of course, from Gem too, springeth my main Super HekaHeka man, Okatch Biggy of the Nyathi Nyakatch song --- Nyasachiel sianda mabeyo to ayie thone, wacha hiyo liberation song yako kwanza! Behold, we all saw the KODHEKIAN spirit of treason if need be to death in Tom Kajwang', Miguna Miguna and Jim Orengo, on January 30th 2018. NO I AM NOT GOING!OH YES YOU ARE GOING HOME, NYANDO LOKA!But vindu vichenjangaSo now we have would-sages like James Orengo and Opondo Kaluma flying to watch football in Russia at Wanjiku's cost, and defending their fraudulent selves with shameless stupidity! Very Murkomen! Definitely atavism. They lost the plot. But bearing the armour of Achilles, bequeathed of Hercules, is a burden lesser men must be excused for buckling under. For it is a fate full of tragedy. I am beginning to think Miguna Miguna is the key. -- Juogi mag Kodhek omake apana buodha. So long he lives with his uncompromising stand, we all know the fight against corruption now is a sham. NB: CONSIDER: Ten cabinet members including the man who deported Miguna Miguna against a court order, Dr. Fred Matiang'i, would have been arrested last week for graft if Uhuru were not scared of a total political melt-down in the aftermath of a total cabinet collapse!But this is a Luo Pivot post, so in the light of those who have totally lost the plot, let me tackle LELO moro ma dalawa. MILLIE ODHIAMBOThere is my sister, Amillo GesaGesa. She is live on TV nowadays threatening to kill in defence of Ouru Kenyatta, because of the Handshake! The shame of it! Only yester year did she loose her breath blowing whistles on the Kenyatta thief, not to mention her suffocation with teargas within parliament, shortly after Moses Kuria had gotten a wet measure of her Venus temple, finger wise. That is the Moses Kuria given an in-laws welcome yesterday in Kisumu, the same one reporting on the Miguna deporting flight to Dubai! If Njiri --a kind of warthog is reputed for its short memory, this my sister is warthog II plus! Millie tells Kenyatta to go to hell, once upon a time. Those were the days, combative, resisting! But these too are the days, domestication, resignation, docility, and the abdication of duty by the official opposition. The D on ODM no longer for democratic! It is surrendered. Sorry Okero, you have to post-humously eat your words! Come and watch our best and brightest -- summum cums from Ivy leagues----- rank below the brains of dead sheep. Not even a snore of a bleat, let alone a thought! ---There is no time to engage the people in the choice of their senator in Migori! And the body to officiate the election or the IEBC? Well, tha is a carcass called Chebusomething kati and no one really knows if in its present form it is properly constituted and in mandate. A thing suspended for theft called Ezra Chiloba is all over the courts in a hostile divorce from the said Chebusomething! And Roselyine Akombe's diaries? No, the last time I heard of the lady was from her son, Oguyo Tiacha Jakamolo Mbasongo the Nguema. He was spinning my favourite NINDO OTAMA from Ongoro Jakarachwonyo on Ramogi Radio, Kar Chuny Jaluo! --We nungo nyigo komondi omera, check the guitar works by Ongoro!And then there is the confusion in Homa Bay! That decision about Elephantiasis Awiti. Another Handpick, or was it shake!? it is a season of of the anomalous! And I will be back! ---------------

BANDITCRAFT
A Luo Pivot post.
Two events have happened in the continent which offer a (continued) way-out for the Kenyan bandits in power. They are succession fixes which entail regime continuation (with a managed disruption of the corrupt cartel linkages of the deep state), yet the changes apparent enough to ride both local and international sensibilities. However grudgingly, legitimacy is relatively bestowed, functional African standards cited. These standards, like African politicians themselves, tend to be very low.
The two events in my mind are (1) The palace coup in Ethiopia, and (2) the stage-managed rebranding of ZANU-PF after it threw out the senile octogenarian and fossil, Robert Mugabe, replacing him with an election-gobbling crocodile, Emmerson Mnangagwa. (2) The Ethiopian case looks very much like the South African case in which Jacob Z. was cast aside to bring forth a paint-wash, another insider but less hated, Cyril the Great. ---The idea here is that the old rot stays on top with a minimal purge. It is a damage limitation exercise which, it is hoped, placates the anger of the people for a while. The remaining fires of fury can then be, united we stand, gunned down on the streets and smothered ---like Museveni so expertly does. This game at least kicks the can some few years ahead down the street of history.
The crocodile of a saviour of Zimbabwe too had a grenade lobed at him during a rally. Obviously there are fundamental contradictions beyond new found love to resolve.
The possibility of a rigged Kenyan election in 2022 looms large, methinks. Because there will be no economic reform, even a simple, populist one like an interest rates cap is immediately shot down by the owners of Kenya. Once this fundamental of economic policy is fixed, the economic structure stays the same; the rest of the pieces fall logically if not naturally in place. The ruling class stays the same: they continue to be mere clerical debt collectors, essentially running errands either for China, the new bully on the block, or the IMF, the fading bull but ready to hire out its experience to the new capo. So long they do this right, keep their people debt-enslaved, the clerks are let have a field day profiting from cuts in corruption. A Kartel lootocratic rather than a Banana republic.
The ruling class continue to do the things the only way they know how; there are cosmetic, PR changes forced by pressure from below of course --the Ethiopian new MULTI-ETHNIC, MULTI-RELIGIOUS youngish PM is a star in this, but the predatory, exploitative and violent state remains intacT AT ITS CORE, to expropriate the people and keep them down so that a small supra-national elite decide their future for them. This fundamental antagonism which drive the liberation song, remains. Can the old empire hold, or is it disintegration time, Eritrea having been but the earliest bird out!?
This means a free and fair election is a very dangerous prospect. Anywhere. Actually it is inadmissible for the elite because of the possibility of ..... well ..... as they found out in Egypt with Mohamed Morsi, a peoples choice the horror of the powers that would be.
Kenya too has been a bad example here.
The reform talk heralded by thee, Raila Odinga, even if unsubstantive and inconsequential, has proved a binding magnet attractive enough to concoct a presidential winning tally, twice or thrice in a row. But thee Raila never became president, well, the officially sworn-in one. Too, it is more likely than not, Besigye did and would kick M7's ass in a free and fair tussle for the heart of Uganda. The option free and fair is thus a non-starter in colonies whose labour forces must be slaves. It is a luxury beyond our elitist primitive minds. Heck, even the USA-DP of Obama had to rig to make sure Hilary Clinton beat the 'socialist' Bernie Sanders! -that's your word too, gerrymandering. Even the USA is too primitive for free and fair, such that, wait for it, lesser tally of popular vote wins the top seat courtesy of a rigged electoral college. Trump did!
Yeah, it isn't like there are much fools around the world for the propaganda of exceptional countries. The only democracy in the middle east is called Israel, and it is an apartheid state, and more, a colonial landgrabber of Palestine. That means commentary in Asia where the majority of humanity live, goes like, Huh, that Iran with its constitutional clerism modelled on a constitutional monarchy, that is a better way here than a European settlement convinced of its racial superiority over Arabs, No!?
Thinking is important! And the more of it the clearer the game becomes.
I am therefore afraid the ruling class in Kenya do not have a choice but to rig again, and again,and rig 2022 too. But a successful rigging requires a high degree of class unity. This is what, I repeat, the HANDSHAKE is all about. The lesson appears to have been learnt by the dominant faction which has coopted you in co-operation mark II: a split in the ruling elite can easily become an unbridgeable canyon. When Raila Odinga and his entourage rejected the electoral process and had himself sworn in, it became apparent the denied man had tapped into a deep current of popular disillusionment. You couldn't be arrested for treason while that is exactly what thee had committed, with Miguna as number one facilitator!
And in broad daylight.
(I thought of the humour of an old smirnoff commercial. More about that later.
Agwambo had read the peoples mood right, correction, the people had enough of empty talk and forced thee to a show-down. The masses came offering their blood to be shed. Raila is the man to take the dare. Thee did. Wetang'ula, MDVD and Kalonzo didn't, and they died politically. Now they are just remnants collapsed in a neurosis of cowardice. Zero people. Thy kerher d.ick is the d.ick which Wanjiku's thighs yawn for!
With these insane-greed corruption scandals we now see tumbling in the open, imagine such a rotten Jubilee government had put Raila Odinga on trial! It would easily have been a case of class implosion for the ruling elite. But infantile as they the comprador are, they missed this big picture. It had to take plenty of cajoling and cash handouts from their masters, US ambassador Godec and his EU adjutants, to bring them infants of Nairobi to dialogue for their own benefit. God forbid, at one moment in the run to January 30th, Ikuluman Uhuru Kenyatta was even surrounded by goons egging him to clear Uhuru Park at the price of a bloodbath!
Be tough your excellency, show this uncircumcised trouble-maker who is boss in town! they dared him!
This fact of reckless bloodthirst by a faction of the rotten ruling class is what has further radicalised the population and leads them to demand death to the corrupt. (On January 30th 2018, Nairbi grapevine has it, it is the army coolheads who saved the day: the police capo's were ready to obey Matiang'i or whoever and kill at will; the army thought that as stupid a gamble as any moron's option could be. WHY? Because their intelligence reckoned there would be an inter-forces civil war as Nairobi became a river of blood, and national state collapse. The likes of DGI Kameru of course know who and how the election was rigged, and also just how criminally corrupt the top echelons of the state are! These cartelists had ruined the political process, were ruining the economy, and now were going to physically ruin the country by a bloodbath at CBD!))
What a pity it weren't the civilian doctorates who proved the smartest in the room! (I remember Robert McNamara when he went to the Pentagon: Hey, Generals, I do the thinking that is why I am here. And my thinkings will be your orders. This is the moment for mutiny. After five seconds, your ars is all mine, and I will be riding it deep!
No Pentagon General resigned, though they went on to make a mess of the Vietnam war and arrogant McNamara was left with humble pie for the rest of his life. Only near death did he go public with his youthful hubris then.
These are the lessons of a callous readiness to kill lots of people just because one can get away with it.
NB: Isias Afworki of Eritrea visited Ethiopia on the invitation of Abiy. The peoples reaction at the rapproahment was shocking. WELCOME HOME ISIAS, WELCOME HOME BROTHER! they poured their hearts out spontaneously. ----what!?
It is a comment on the state of war which has existed since Eritrea's independence, and the tens of thousands who have died in the subsequent border wars. And the paired waste of resources of course. Could it have been a VELVET DIVORCE, Tzechoslovakia model!? This question must be asked, given the secession mood brewing within the remaining peoples of the empire! LIVE AND LET LIVE!? BROTHER!

OF PRETENDER PEOPLE'S PRESIDENTS AND PLIGHTS THEY COULD HAVE ATTENDED TO Sacking Rotich is a national priority. It is cooking hot in the kitchen, Ouru Kenyatta has dissappeared. It remains the economy, stupid. Anybody in the office of the presidency!? Power hates a vacuum, wapi yule Hustler Singh!?

A NOTE ON THE DISAPPEARANCE OF OURU KENYATTA AND THE COLLAPSE OF THE KENYAN TREASURYThe Kenyan treasury has collapsed. Luckily there was always the IMF and the ChinEXIM BANK holding the purse strings. Rotich, Thugge, Njoroge and even Joseph Kinyua, the lord of the dark deals, have always been puppets. No, not even vassals, puppets. But a geo-strategic stalemate mushroomed their delusions of grandeur. When puppets collapse, puppet masters re-organise. Chinese investment to Kenya is not going to go down, just like Chinese investment to Africa, including the BRI or OBOR initiative. See the FOCAC 2018 pledge. Neither can the USA withdraw now. The reasons for the latter will soon become apparent, but a straight testimony to the facts is the over 50 AMISON operational stations on the continent: this is my yard, gook. What the collapse of the Kenyan treasury means immediately, is that the little autonomy local nyaparas have to run stuff and steal stuff so long the goals of the foreign masters are met, will further be curtailed. It will be a bit like what happens under a regime of receivership. This is the Handshake bit or act. It is for the IMF and China Exim Bank to decide which economic team runs the treasury, not the Ouru Kenyatta/Ruto/Raila complex. This is why Rotich and co have not been sacked. Their security of tenure is not a Kenyan call. If it were, the mercury-sugar scandal alone would have been enough to claim their scalps. (Ethnic sensitivities are also out of question, just as Rotich has wiped out the sugar industry through being a cartel blue-eyed boy, so too has he aided the destruction of the local maize farmer in Kaleoland. The man is poison to everybody, even Ruto who, obviously, is already grafted enough!) But that is another story. Suffice now is to remember Kenya's Military Intelligence is big in Somalia due to KDF security deployment. Wherefore it is logical to reckon the DGI, even liasing unofficially as a former MI chief ---old boys grapevine network, couldn't have failed to know the mercury-laced tonnage was just over the border, awaiting the treaury's clearance. That is why for some us, the likes of Noordin Haji doing peacock dances in anti-corruption warrior chest-thumps, comes with a touch of ridiculousness. Haji used to be Kameru's PA! so to speak of direcotorate organisations. But that is for another day. What is the issue today: there is a global cold war going on. Kenya is a critical cog in it. It is the transition from the UNIPOLAR world as under the USA, to a multipolar situation. This is when Big and medium sized powers have a lot of say, at least in their local area, devolution. China will obviously be too big continue deferring to the USA as it does now on the global state where the PRC's direct interests are not in harm's way. --That is why China sat back and watched the destruction of Libya by NATO. China recognised itself too weak, and its interests in Libya too inferior to warrant any meaningful opposition to the war-crazed Obomber. But as China continues to rise --Deng Hsiao Ping crossing the river by feeling the stones, her interests will rapidly become universally strategic at every square metre of the globe. That, how else, raises immediately the spectre of a seething India, not to mention a berserk USA. (Thecudides?) This is where Russia, or Putin comes in. Putin is the guy with a running theory of a MULTIPOLAR world, where all these powerful nations co-exist under agreed international law. By the time India, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Brazil, Pakistan, United Korea, Vietnam, Philipines, Indonesia all get their act together and are ready to bow to no-one, the world will be too small, too explosive without a joint, co-ordinating global government. Diffuse Smart Technological proliferation will also make small nations even more superior, hyper specialising in the smart destruction (by advances in Artificial Intelligence for instance). Such capability as they deem necessary to neutralise the hardware might of the bigger, monster nations. (The way Saudi Arab woke up one morning to declare the whole of Qatar its gas-field, is a clear warning of the predatory instincts of bigger nations looking for sitting ducks! You will be occupied and destroyed, unless you have a secret deterrent. For that matter, the theft of water resources from the Palestinians by mighty Israel is intstructive, just as the annexation of Migingo Fish-Rich waters by the big-eyed Museveni.) Anyway, currently the USA is still married to her FULL SPECTRUM DOMINANCE, which means both China and Russia must bow to Washington DC. Or else sanctions and more bad things. Bad things remind of asymmetry too, how the US fermented trouble for Russia in Ukraine, right over the border; and further a field moved to neutralise Russia as a naval power in the Mediterranean. Assad had to go. Teheran here we come! But the Syrian war has become a terrible lesson in how hot the current cold war can get. But something else too has happened. A limited Russian military intervention and careful political play by Vladimir Putin, has checked the militarised NATO and Israeli geo-strategic chicanery led by the USA, and, too, vaporised the anti-Assad, non-secular military front financed by Saudi and other Arab Big Bucks. The confusion it has precipitated upon Turkey's short-sighted playbook is instructive. The toll on the middle east, not to mention the exported refugee crisis to Europe, has been hell. Yet this could merely be the pointer to what lies in store before the Almighty USA gives up on full spectrum dominance. Barrack Obama's pivot to Asia which is to contain China and stall its rise to full global prominence commensurate with its new found economic and technological might, is a true devil's alternative. It has cornered China by its clarity. It has forced the Chinese leadership to face up publicly to the reality: of being strangled to submission or death, unless they can assure the USA of mutual destruction in the event of the worst case. This suicidal competition is where Uhuru Kenyatta's presidency today has to manoeuvre. Kenya being a bit like Australia today on her geographical and economic dilemma. And I say it is even nastier than Ulysses, the man of many wiles, faces as he approaches the straight of Messina where, on one side, Scylla the monster lurks, and on the other, Karybdis the canyon sucks! Kenyatta met Trump, had an intermezzo with May, then went to Xi. And then, mentally exhausted or collapsed by the ruthless options put on the table by the masters of the universe, has failed to come home and face an angry Wanjiku with the truth. For when he was away, a hut tax was enforced, and the colonial, extortionist nature of his HANDSHAKE regime, exposed. Having spent his whole first term presiding over grand theft and Greek-like tragic waste, the finances of the cash boom, loan largesse, have read Ouru the riot order. Debt collection must be prioritised. But having woken up to the fact that he has no achievement to be worth a mention in the history books, President Kenyatta is all filled up with the grandiose of his Big Four. And these, just like his government's appetite for corruption, need to funded. This comes on top of Henry Rotich's megalomanic budget which already scraped meat off the bone for Kenyans. Then the financial pressure builds like a perfect storm. Which bills to pay, which bills not to pay!? What programs to shed, which to serve with the lip!? So hot is the kitchen one will understand if Ouru Kenyatta has collapsed, his mind at a dead end. NOW, HIS CO PRESIDENTS, AGWAMBO AND RUTO What are they up to!? What can they be up to!? We have seen the international financial situation, what is the internal geo-strategic situation? Ie, what is Kenya's next century plan and the roles of Ruto and Raila in it? --Luo Pivot Post!

THE COMING SEIZURE OF ASSETS REHASH: How did the TROIKA manage Greece's bankruptcy? The Troika or Triad, a criminal gang of three, consisted of the EU, The IMF and the ECB --European Central Bank. The story of how this unforgiving Trinity crushed Greece after sufficiently trapping her with easy credit, is now an open book. And it is always worth a learning look. The subtext is the choice pounds of flesh hard-nosed creditors will slice off a debt colony, to regain their funds. The broken Greeks often pictured Angela Merkel as a later day Dr. Joseph Mengel, the legendary NAZI brute and personification of medical evil, operating live with evident delight on patients, without anaesthesia that is, to study the limits of human endurance in pain. Good to know the calibre of other debt-collectors as one reads the stories of the Africa-China debt scare. The dragon, they say, will be scorch-earth in time! I think we already did the math elsewhere, where we saw Africa, through MALABU CONSTRUCTIONS, corruptedly looses an excess of $100Bn/year. Cutting back on that, even by half, should triple-A our credit ratings. So I relax. Africa has a lot of financila room. It is just too much scumbags at the top making scum decisions. Now, if you loose that kind of money, first decision is to stop it before you look for credit elswhere. But to stop that cash hemorrage, you have to be a non-scumbag mind. Repeat: The pile of African debt does not scare me. What scares me is a continuation of scumbagas in power. For then even two centuries, you are still nowhere but deeper sunk. But ... For Kenya, still locked up under a scumbag regime --- peruse the Auditor General's annual reports, what we have to prepare for, is EXPROPRIATION and CONFISCATION. This means we have to keep careful, detailed financial records on malfeasance; specify who and who ARE STEALING WHAT AND HOW MUCH, where. That is, more and more of those forensic audits like the forgotten KROLL REPORT, to put the dots on the AG's 'i's. When the debt crunch realy knocks, I don't think it has hit yet, I think these are symptoms we suffer, but when it hits for real, and there is no where to hide, is when these scumbags (or the inheritors to their estates and survivors of their financial empires) will all be arrested for economic sabotage, backdated, and mercilessly expropriated. The end of an oligarchy. Year zero, so to dramatise! Whether your name is Julius Ceasar, Hamurrabi, Eisenhower, Pope Borgia, Al-Sisi, Vladi Putin or MBS, when your country is facing financial doom, you will finally be forced to expropriate the parasitic nobility. Or just kill them before they kill you. MBS is Mohammed Bin Salman of Saudi Arabia. Recently he detained the whole cream of royalty in various luxury hotels across the KSA. It was pay on release, ie, an extortion racket. Why!? He needs tetra billions to modernise Saudi Arabia. The oil is not enough! Even selling Aramco off doesn't do the trick! (Ambition can also be a nightmare, see Mao Tze Dong's GREAT LEAP FORWARD. That is where Deng learnt his greatest lessons in state-stewardship!) NB: George Dubya Bush stole the Iraqi trust fund painfully built by Saddam Hussein. Barrack Obama sacked the Gaddaffi fortune. This was Libyan Oil income invested in the LIBYAN INVESTMENT AGENCY. And Putin told his oligarchs to return the loot or get dead. And Julius Ceasar's piteous cry, even you Brutus, what was it about!?It is always the economy stupid. And Kenya wont be an exception. In fact the colonial settler state collapsed when Mother Britain ran out of money to subsidise local white stupidity or settler mischief. The colonial economic model had become a capitalist stupidity. So out dated, it had to be liquidated. I therefore dare say, that the way Uhuruto and the Handshake business is running Kenya, they too are now a capitalist stupidity which, even for the purposes of big neo-liberal capital, international and monopoly which desires a neo-colony, is a drag on progress --profit margins! That is why the rating buros are tightening the screws. Time for tighter, direct control. This is allso why ambassador USA Godec became their shepherd in the post-election crisis. The scumbags were contracting profit arguing about elections results for one year! LOWER DOWN THE WORK FLOOR Here is the micro-level To institute such a regime, the Chinese must have a model, or profile of the Kenyan worker. The leash must be super-tight, or compansy goes bust! --HMMMM! Seizing strategic assets? Sri-Lanka Port? Zambia mines? Autonomy suspended. Direct imperial control re-instituted. So the prefects --scumbags-- are reduced to total figure-heads. Our local fabulously rich and politically powerful are reduced to figurants; it is just that we haven't figured out how the scumbags should cost a minimal charge for their services. Big Capital figured out this parasitology long ago. So the Chinese bring 21 year old boys to whip the butts of 40 year old Kenyans at the SGR. Profit will be whipped out of sheep! But that is only in the regime of the African scumbags! There are alternatives! Ad that is the real continental scare!

HOW DO THE IMF INSERTS AT THE TREASURY SQUARE WITH C.EXIM?
C.EXIM is China Exim bank. Those informed will know the latest statistic (since 2017) of the single foreign body to whom Kenya is most indebted. (Bilateral). The IMF inserts are the top economic saboteurs going with names like Rotich, Thugge, Njoroge. And more. They are saboteurs because their figures have failed to add up, and instead of confronting Ouru BigFour with the truth, they are glad to lead him, and the nation, deeper into the abyss. Mr. Kenyatta is of course too clueless, and Ruto, if we think of Uhuruto as Jubilee, is too busy making a corrupted fortune out of the Eastern free-bies (Last goat auction he carried ksh.10M cash! Many cartoons on that already). But, for historical comparison, will come to see later which trick Mwai Kibaki had up his sleeve to neutralise the IMF stooge, prof. Njugunah Ndung'u. Earlier on, the then CBK governor had tried to hijack and scorch the Kibaki-Raila think-tankry. (later with that).
Here are a few reminders of today.
THINK ABOUT THIS
CBK Patrick Njoroge told a daring tale, and not for the first time. He was adressing an audience of international bankers and a select of New York sharks, all salivating for another Eurobond killing in Kenya. He told them the caps law, that is the one governing interest rates, enacted by parliament and protocol correct signed by the PORK, is an inconsequential and temporary measure. Not only would it be repealed, but, in any case, the adherence to it was token and minimal. This was a reference to a careful scheme in fraudulent behaviour. Njoroge and his accountants and monetarists had become tricksters. Okiya Omtatah took them to task in court. In office then, as a top bureaucrat, our Opus Dei kid is 'dubious'! And there is a nice line about such bankers in one of Shakespeare's plays.
Not just dubious, but a cheap cheat too!? But, on whose authority was Patrick Njoroge speaking in New York, trashing the president's signature to a side-show, reducing the deliberations of our Mpigs to the baying of frogs at an approaching herd of famished wildebeest!? So what is Patrick Njoroge's game!?
Answering such questions in depth dictates one to at least recognise the relative power of international capital vis-a-vis states whose GDP's, calculated at the same market and rated by the same agencies, Standard&Poor, Moodys and Fitch, are less than AMAZON's yearly profits, ALIBABA's half term figures, Apple's or Samsung's quarterly returns, or less than even the periodic profits of an old economy (raw material trader)of Tyrannosaurus like ExxonMobil.
NB: Sometimes I think these too big to fail banks (or super gigantic concerns) are like the old Manors or Castles in their heyday. Powerful forts they were and seemed eternal, but a century later they were relics, fossils of a gone glory, since vindu vechenjanga.
It was Karl Marx who lamented the vigour of an emerging capitalism. I actually find it an amusing read. Here is a taste of it from the Communist Manifesto
The bourgeosie would seem to be pitilessly shameless in their revolutionary vigour and class ebulience. Walking through the slums of Kenya it makes you think: absent the bourgeoisie here! man's potential lies fallow here, unwakened, untapped, rotting in medieval squalor!
In the modern era, of international finance capital, mobile at the speed of light around financial markets everywhere in the globe 24/7, Capital has no need for a bourgeoisie state which strives to erect barriers for its unannounced intrusion or instantaneous flight. The state which once was so fought over, and used by the bourgeoisie to expand their domination throughout the globe (see the last 500 years of Western colonial, global domination), is now a rock on their feet, holding expansion and ubridled profit back, at least in so far as it tries to enact anti-CAPITAL laws, be they be reasonable and anti-predatory. (Remember names like GlassSteagall and Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 And Regulation, to the tears of bankers![/i]
SOME STATES ARE WHAT OTHERS ARE NOT
Petty states like Kenya, wanting to control CAPITAL, while pledging their dependence and loyalty to it, promising to fulful every of its demands, are essentially monkeys in a zoo. They are if wishes were horses. Sorry, Ouru, Mr. BigFour.
Modern interest rates of any currency today are controlled by straight-forward power play between the FED and the CBC. China Central Bank. The ECB (European Central Bank) can be understood as a subset of the FED. The EU will fall to place as a vassal before the USA if the rubber hits the tarmac in an international trade wars.
The Chinese Central Bank by virtue of the tonnage of dollars it hoards in reserve, has considerable leverage on the latitude the FED has to manipulate the value of the dollar as its sees fit in the interests of the USA only. This is why the super nationalist Trump was in for a shock the other day when with a nod from the FED the IMF breezed Continued. ON RETOOLING OUR PETTY STATES AND ECONOMIES TO COPE
NB: So what do we do with our petty states? Surrender and be the playground of flush-capital, the way Kenya once was the playfield of lordly English lusts!? This is why the word liberation is not yet defunct in the narrative of national futures. One saw the Palestinians kicked out of Washington DC yesterday! They had asked the ICC to investigate Israel for war crimes on Gaza! Will the Palestinians now give up their struggle for nationhood, seeing how alone they are, and how Almighty their enemies and allies are!?
Welcome to a word called FREEDOM. And what man will do for it!
A pity, the peoples president is no longer part of the peoples struggle!

YOU CAN DO ME NOTHING BWANA! WHAT IS?
Let me lift a veil to deal the uninitiated in; the trending# on the Luo social media circuit is YOU CAN DO ME NOTHING OMERA!
This is, as now 'goat's-hump' Onyango Oloo once straightened me out when I said WAIZI instead of WEZI, a mother tongue, tongue slip. Ruaraka Tom Kajwang', another of my main men, Wahondo Pacho, lost his cool in parliament during the crooked passage of the finance bill 2018, Thursday 20-09-18.
There was a point to his heart. A knife point?
If you tag along the meanders of Kenya's recent current events, you will remember, O thy short-distance straggler, that TJ Kajwang' immortalised himself on January 30th 2018 at Uhuru Park. He wore his own death-mask, those robes, how we would later erect his statue, post matyrdom for the cause.
He had made his peace with two possibilities both ending in death.
1. A Maatiang'i-Koome order for the police to brutally suppress and disperse the swearing-in ceremony, with police snipers picking off the cream of the Luo treason ring-leaders. He among the first. 2. Failing a cheap-shot assassination in the ensuing melee (as Matiang'i's Calvary charged), subsequent arrest and sentence to death for the treason of, jointly with Miguna Miguna, officiating an illegal presidential oath to Raila Odinga.
NB: Luo culture aint a stranger to loosing her aces by either means. For number 2, called constitutional lynching, Ochuka was here, Oteyo Okumu was here, a long list was here! and if one is to totally disappear without a trace like so many Mombasa Islamic youth, corporal James Bondo Otieno was here.
Commemorated in a legendary AHANGLA piano whine, the chant goes: Otieno bed abeda kama imakono! Kik iwe! in siro, Otieno in siro kiweyo to ot dang' podhi! Omera miya piano aonge kodi ka! An nyawawa, awuok adhi --Onere e Piny Tho!
NB: I think I reported for Jukwaa how, on the eve of January 30th 2018, I for one switched careers to moonlight as a priest of the death cult: I recorded last wishes, wills, from family members off to Nairobi on a journey of possibly no return, and conducted dead-peoples rituals to the same.
Raphael Tuju talks of a KALONGOLONGO DAY! I offer him the grin I offer my children when they wrestle with a large English word and nearly make it: repeat after me: antidisestablishmentarianism!
Rahpho struck me as a baby on that
.. kalongolongo pitch.... of his. But so did Aden Duale and William Ruto who both belittled it inconsequential and meaningless, ie KALONGOLONGO. But in fact I suspect even the peoples president himself didn't actually import the depth of the occasion! The NASA top had all along just been using its eminence as a sort of blackmail tool. Now that it arrived and they had to proceed with it, a new streak of forge had to emerge. Fakes had to fall by the wayside, dissolved in cowardice. We buried many a circumcised man, died upfront of cowardice!
I wrote of the experience as having a profound transformative effect on TJ Kajwang'. He, where Miguna became louder and more public, became more contemplative, calm and distant, distant in the withdrawn manner of men who have had a date with death, and death deferred. Till another day. (This near-miss with fate is profound for civilians but a daily occurrence for soldiers in a hot combat zone!)
The came the confusion of the Handshake as the ruling class decided they could either hang together and enlengthen their rule, or hang apart and die immediately. I wrote And so came September 21 2018, and the kind of parliamentary vote on the Finance Bill 2018.
My main man John Mbadi, having eaten back all his tongue on the subject the last months, found love in Aden Duale's arms, and rediscovered the traitor's streak in his bandit-dyed head. But peoples attorney General TJ Kajwang' stayed put. The foundations of his new-found integrity are much more pillarised than Mbadi's unscrupulous soul cab fathom.
This chicanery pierced TJ Kajwang's heart.
EVEN MY BROTHER! MY FRIEND WHOM I LOVE AND RESPECT! TJ Kajwang' shouted in stunned horror at John Mbadi and co!
Those of us who have watched many renditions of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar -EVEN YOU, BRUTUS! Recognised the painful depths from which those words came within the raging soul of TJ Kajwang'!
it is a significant moment. Kajwang's painful dissent has more in it; that timbre of rage, fates, when it matures.
I am game. A Luo governor is being projected to have been at the scene at which the womb of a woman holding his baby was ripped ---like that age-old Luo formative story of the magic beads retrieved from a baby girl's belly by her disembowelling. That is a local story. Nationally, the Luo leader of business in Parliament was oversighting a politically similar bestial event. This is why TJ Kajwang' cry has so resonated: but it is in the form of humour, just like the LUNGALUNGA dance performed with Miguna Miguna at the airport prior to his deportation.
The Kenyan ship is really feeling its way around the reefs. As for the would-be peoples president, promising Canaan was always a feat in false prophesy.
And you can do me nothing! we can do each other something!
And i will be back

WHERE TO GET THE MONEY AS THE EASIEST PART
SUBTEXT: THE SHARON OKOTH OBADO TRAGEDY AS A FOOTNOTE IN GENERAL SOCIAL ROT
For today, I do not propose to be distracted by the horror details of a love story gone wrong between an extortionist slayqueen and a corrupt governor. It appeals to my passion for tabloid stories of course, so it will continue to feature in artistic delves. I have a special delve coming up which will touch on some very horrid and famous ones coming from the world of ancient Greeks. Like you know there was once a King of Men who slit the throat of his own daughter to harness the winds of more glory. We are talking Agamemnon and Iphigenea. But that is for later, today the (opportunity cost of) PUBLIC MONIES looted by our amorous governors is the salient point.
And I don't feel like much humour. I feel cold and menaced.
First, a bit of a reminder where this is coming from.
In the mental preparations for the expected stalemate of TWO REPUBLICS in one, Two Kenyas'', following the January 30th alternative swearing-in of the peoples president, the now re-absorbed Amollow Tinga, there was a need to ponder out a few issues, especially how they would be funded. A salient (socio-economic) issue remains the productive deployment of the huge reserves of the idle labour of youth, necessarily beyond feudal modes or patronage networks of handouts. This productivity can best be realised in productive public works duty ---name them! rather than more high-interest loans for the millionth motorbike to idle atop at dirty market centers. That massive deployment of course entails an INDUSTRIAL SCALE PLAN, first. For the period, this tapping integrates our young hot-bloodeds into a formalised, regular payment system ---consistent wage labourers if a touch cheap! nevertheless this tentative, formal entry into the financial loop of devolution is already a tangible, even if minimal foothold in Canaan! (It is a far better option than any fokking Handshake and its rewards which, reading the papers, is defined by the inclusion of Raila allies in the patronage slots of plum public jobs, but scorch-earth taxation for the masses! See ####1)
So! That financing bit! --well, you know everywhere the dreaded question is always, how do you pay for all that!? (Just look at the mess Rotich has plunged Kenya into with his sorry calculations. Kerosene in the countrysides, the poor man's fuel, is now as taxed as the SUV's gasoline! In a massive transfer of resources from the poor to the rich, Rotich is taxing an already meagre disposable income into non existence; the economy must contract, no purchasing power even for basics for the majority! That kind of demand-curve depletion is called poverty, by government action, impoverishment! At this rate, it is extortion!)
So I like to watch my figures lest I become a copy of those mavi-ya-kuku mercenaries in the Nairobi treasury.
ACHTUNG! ACHTUNG!
Immediately after the launching of counties, aka the great devolution project, I took an unhealthy interest in reading the Auditor General's reports. And of course the budget comptroller's blues. It was a bit of compulsion for me, you know, like others check the value of their stocks more often per hour than a pious Muslim prays per day. This was simply because, having long ago ploughed through the economics of the German Wirtschaftswunder (under (PEOPLES PRESIDENT???)Konrad Adenauer), a terrifying detail always soured, and seared my mind. If you take your time through the archives, you can relive and reference coin for coin, dime for dime, cent for cent, how the Marshal Windfall to reconstruct post-war Germany, was effectively used!
Honestly I don't scare easy, but those wirtschaftswunder accounting records disturbed my intestines; so much sh!t and sweat roamed out of my ars free. Some folks do not joke with opportunities to rebuild their lands, their fatherland, nor do they waste nor plunder public resources any. They do it, build rebuild, manage the money with a concise piety which warns others instinctively why the chimneys of those concentration camp ovens had that odd fuel. It is a chilling patriotism.
Everytime I combed through them looking for human wastefulness and weakness ---mind willing body weak stuff (or, later, what do you want me to do my hands are tied Ouru Kenyatta moans in public about corruption), I felt the well-kept books laugh at me, and, I still shudder, the ghosts of those who kept them scornfully deride baboonish Africans: Ha! born to steal from themselves, until saved by others from afar!
I was traumatic ---Nyawawa kaka Erhard giri, Adenauer's econs minister, nyiera otieno duto e Library! I nearly suffered a nervous breakdown! which is why I went to concentrate on ancient mythology, history and puszy instead! (ars locked tight at last! puszy is a very good passtime actually when you are young!)
But that scare instilled in me a furious hatred for waste of public resources, theft and graft. It also showed me a precedent worth a dry-run nearer home. My German 'promovendus' -a kind of academic supervisor on a thesis, laughed, and shook his head: 'The neighbouring Dutch,' he said in hushed fear, 'are the Kings of Thrift. Check them out first! It is a pathology of meanness which led then to invent the branch of mathematical economics called ECONOMETRICS! Jan Tinbergen and the rest. For them economics is not a necessity, it is an obsession! It is piety, a faith! The word abundance in that language has the same connotation as danger, trouble, and is pronounced with a twang of sorrow! The Dutch financial wit scares us Germans more than Islamic fundamentalism. Unlike in football, this is one area they are our superiors forever. It makes me suicidal to admit that fact!'
So spake the professor And tears flooded his face! And big and hot drops they were, and heart-felt too! And da-mn! much moved I was to scare some more about these things of thrift! (in England they had stereotyped the Dutch as industrious but encumbered by a lazy pot-smoking induced attitude! --wrong! Authoritative Germans warned me! The Dutch are the only children father God worries not about with money. They will be alright! Which in German may sound like a hint they are extraordinary thieves!)
But the lesson is learnt and never forgotten.
This means you can guess what goes through my mind when I bone-pick Eduard Ouko's chronicles of horror with respect to the financial management of Luoland counties. I mean, and I repeat, I do not particularly care if Bungoma people buy wheelbarrows costing ksh.6000 @ksh.110,000, or Garissa county water bottles of ksh.70 for ksh.1000. Goats will be goats I think, siding with Emilio Kibaki on his more irritable moments. But if Luoland elites go by that template of waste at the calibre of stupidity, I am killed inside. Kabisa. And when Russia Hospital in Kisumu is worse than Pumwani/Sonko maternity unit, I die twice!
So I am many times dead. Walking dead so I should say a ghost or a double zombie!
And Eduard Ouko's chronicles continue offer no respite, neither do those songs of Agnes Odhiambo. Luoland is no better than other Sickos, Agwambo ruling, the alleged peoples president! Ei, dwanyrwogni osina yawa. My soul is humiliated and naked; my pride is kicked and shattered; I spend the rest of my days staying my temper, since I had enough of the gory days of central Africa (when whole populations loose their tempers).
But the problem does not go away when you look the other way. Scumbag after scumbag, the ODM monopoly machine in LuoNyanza produces these serial monsters whose period in history is extinct. You could say the mask of one of them slipped and we see what lies beneath. The atavism proper. Leaked copper documents would seem to point Okoth Obado was at the gory scene in which his unborn child was kissed with a murderous blade. Through.
But it is the money trail of waste which triggered this missive. It has taken four days for detectives to catch up on the web of corruption which has permeated Migori county and give Eduard Ouko the thumbs up. That man Ouko is the man the likes of John Mbadi's and Raila's latest bedmate, Aden Duale, wanted tamed or sacked.
It was from those Ouko reports that I became convinced even as LOW the county disburses from Nairobi stood, we had enough Marshal Plan funding in place for a wirtschaftswunder start at the Kavirond republic.
See how easily it was burnt in this case-study of Migori county. Then safely do (project) the same figures for Kisumu, HomaBay and Siaya! then the opportunity cost on the effective use! Wherefore me reckons we missed a great chance, Agwambo. Canaan will be a long time in coming I guess. At the EACC have found these things out now!? Do you really know what that means? Before Sharon's murder, nobody at the EACC took Eduard Ouko seriously! I die yawa! --These things have been in the public domain ... in the archives of the respective government agency!
But you have to go to work and work to make sense of reality! Lots report to work and stay idle. Like our EACC, until someone or some incident kicks them awake, and they remember, sh!t, we should have done that ages ago!
ANYWAY: I waited patiently for an event to irrefutable reveal how easy it would be to find the funding for public works projects to absord idle youth labour in LuoNyanza, like HYACINTH REMOVAL AND KANO PLANES CANALS. Migori in this case-study puts the dots on the i's. Argument closed. There is money, what lacks is a program, and executors. And a non-brain-dead peoples president.
I am too cold-blooded to be bothered with scumbag creeps like Okoth Obado. Vermin will be vermin. Next.

Yaye Agwambo, no citizen should be asked to cough up more taxes in a state where it is this easy to stealThe ruthless barbarity with which the corruption syndicate snuffed out the greedy and disgruntled canary who threatened to sing and spill the beans on them, informs, if action and reaction be equal, of the grit and ferocity which will equally be required to exterminate the cartels. ---Corruption will do anything, literally anything to stay afloat ---think of the foetus mangled by a murderous dagger inside the womb, and the whole mess burnt with acid! That is a mindset which if you have to face down all over the republic, you need a bit of the Tshaka curl of lip, lest you end up like something scavengers in a merry mood are finished with in the wilderness!
Watching Raila, Ruto and Ouru add more taxes to be stolen, I don't see change coming from within! Only from without!

WHERE WILL THE NRM-KE CONSTITUENCY GO
Intro: letter to the former peoples president, the abdicated one!
Amollo Tinga wuod Oganda Yo!
Nitieree loose ends moko ka, ma pok obedo earthed gi Handshake-u nogo, not to mention new contradictions raised by the shake, themselves no less haunting. Meseems they are like ticking live-wires. Untended, they will electrocute the best of plans. And I am not talking about the much-pressurised Kiambu Mpig Moses Kuria, caught yesterday shoving aside the Handshake deals which, who will deny, reserve certain Nairobi seats for Raila's ODM. These could be something in Embakasi something, or even that coveted spot under Sonko. There's been a hole there since Igathe sunk.
I remember 2017 October or thereabouts. Those were the days of mass action, meaning two tear-gas days in Kisumu per week. That was in the run to the second boycotted EACC sham, Chebukati cabaret. In this period I and many had a glimpse of the underneath of Kenya.
It was a kind of peep show at Pandora's kitchen, which is easily the devil's laboratory. Thereunder is a busy hive of brewing trouble for the future of the nation. And I think the Al-Shabaab blowback in which the DUSITD2 hotel attack was majorly a Kenyan --MAJENGO--youths operation, is the smoke which warns of the fire beneath. Those with minds will take heed. Anyway, in between the elections of 2017, on such days of confrontation, when the state manifests its core as armed violence, and the security forces are on thuggish and murderous vibe defending the status-quo, it is only the Kenyan underclass YOUTH who crawl out of their hell-holes to confront them. The goodly workers and the middle classes safely stay at home, watching the revolution from the TV as it were. This is no paradox.
But the Kenyan underclass is significant. It is young and under no illusion. Its urban core is brutalised daily, by economic hardship and violent government policy. This is a lot for who there is no respite, handshake or no handshake. They have been exorcised from the goodly plans of the Kenya's neo-colonial future as it is. They are human litter and waste products. They are neither consumers, nay, nor even a labour reserve as should be in classical political economy of capitalism. Without radical, significant change, the lot of their children will be like theirs, marooned in sh!tbelts called slums ringing magnificent CBD's. But of course even therefrom, urban development coming colonial style, they sense they stand in the way of the Lords. They will be removed to make room for industrial parks and goodly lawns for the rich.
They recognise by instinct of the permanently hunted, that the shoot-to-kill policy warranted the police to contain them is not structurally adequate. It will one day mutate into a final solution as it were --a mass sterilisation campaign and deportation to arid reserves and, finally, medical genocide. A kind o mass euthanasia, mass mercy killing.
We aren't there yet, but, evolving the same way, manufacturing ever more unneeded humans, all options are on the table. The reluctance, actually impotence of the comprador to economically transform Kenya to accommodate the mass of her youth in a meaningful future, is evident for all to see. There is a feeding frenzy at the top, leaving nothing for investment.
This week's report from the comptroller of budgets, Agnes Odhiambo, details the permanent and dangerous ratio of investment expenditure to total budget. It is an obvious no-go-places flight, a dead flight. It is not unity which Kenya needs. It is radical economic action. Think Deng Hisiao Ping, think Asian Tigers.
No? then the dispossessed and marginalised youth continue to RIPEN in their subaltern hell holes. We already had a first blow up, like a volcano warning spurt. First homegrown suicide bomber. --That fact, calls for a think. The DEEP kind.
I winjo, omera Agwambo!?

THE HANDSHAKE CONTRADICTION1. Written to mark the anniversary of The OATH, 30th January 2018. Was it mock, as the scribes of the national dailies invariably tip? Was it Kalongolongo, as Tujuman quipped in a famous put-down? Or was it catalytic, like the first crack in a dam? Was it a pointer of things to come, next time elections are rigged to the cost of a popular candidate, and one who happens to have enough gravitas not to be interested in Handcheques? Of Chinese toys performing in their cage a stellar cast of locals at the Nairobi show. Obed Ruto obed Raila; be it Ouru or Matiang'i what a tray of toys running on Chinese batteries O -O-O their lifespan a well-known sell-by-date!The handshake is an elite parley. It is a plaster on a gaping wound. Even a stitch wont do. Just like the cartoon below suggests on the prospects of Melon Kalonzo in an awakened Ukambani. The handshake is to mask over the class contradictions of the modern Kenyan society, as a device to let the dominant Oligarchy maintain pre-eminence. Even the new kid on Big Money street, William the Upstart Ruto, is deemed not of enough blue blood to hold sway over the old nobility. The Hustler must know his place in this caste system appexed by the Kenyatta's, the Moi's and Odinga's. It is a touch desperate, these Nairobi gimmicks, more so given it is the heat from below which is the factor generating the cracks in the first place. NB: Aspects of these cracks have been on show this week with some interesting name-callings at the top. The the pro-and-anti Ruto camps were engaged in a battle reminiscent of that famous one between pots and kettles. That is in that old and notorious kitendawili. --Governor Sang of Nandi who is a Ruto ally denounced Hassan 001 Joho for a drug-pedlar soon to be extradited to the USA! This was after The Sultan had intimidated the Weston Hotel alone is enough to keep The Singh locked up in Kamiti for a long while, like the Thief he is! JOHO: Kenya can not be led by the King of Corruption! -ati Hustler Singh! SANG: Neither can Kenya be led by a Drug Dealer! -ati Sultan 001!It is entertaining, but one year from The Handshake, this truth-telling suggests the fragmentation of the political cream is gone more than rhetoric. It can not be patched back, even by Godec's magic. But, apart from the pressure from below cracking the top, there is also real pressure from above. This above is, forget Washington DC, the The Other Boss. This is the Imperial fella of whom the now disgraced Engineer, Michael Kamau, formerly the celebrated Transport cabinet secretary, said honestly before Parliament: Because they pay, ours is to do what they say! (That is unlike Harvadian Rotich who, caught with his pants down over Mombasa port as collateral to SGR loans, went into possum mode, playing for deaf, proving himself a comical nuisance!) The issue before the LEGICO, a beehive of rogue hogs at the trough at best, was why the government had waved aside constitutional requirements on open tendering for ALL aspects of the SGR. China had bagged them all in SINGLE SOURCING, and not even transparently. Cabsec Kamau didn't feel for the typical, Kenyan politician's hypocrisy and the usual fake patriotism, so he told parliament the truth: we are too dependent to say No to ANY of the conditions of qualified generosity. Even if the price is sovereignty. That is intellectually a sane man. He can call a spade a spade. He don't do illusions, the prime asset of many a politician. Neither does he do stupid denials like the above-mentioned Rotich! THE WORRIES OF EXIM BANK EXECUTIVESNow, suppose you are China and through your agent, The EXIM Bank, you have lent this entity, the republic of Kenya, all those fortune monies on record, but the locals -- mercenary quislings of sorts---- have a penchant to mismanage affairs so much such that the republic threatens to implode, bankrupt, divorce and divide. Thus you could be looking at a bad debt, endless disputes on refund and even then, the beneficiary entity -------(republic having disappeared or dissolved)---- possibly no returns at all forever! And, being the de-facto SUBSIDISER of this motely crew of mismanager quislings of modern Africa, who says Kenya's possible implosion is an isolated probability!? Could Zimbabue under its crocodile, looking like the Ukraine under her Chocolate King, be the taste of future things to expect of your African Estate!? Studios and trenchant, wily and history-street-smart, you would have visited the fortunes of the IBEA-CO, the Lunatic Express, and the bankruptcy of the financially mismanaged Colonial State which forced the settler regime to, financially broken, eat the humble pie of a total BAIL-OUT from the Colonial Office in London! Then would you wanna pile a certain kind of pressure to take care of business. Nothing personal, just business. -- Otherwise, sooner rather later, a totally bankrupt Kenya would be a total Chinese problem, Chinese banks terrible exposed. Prudence is therefore second nature to Beijin, well-educated by the most ruthless teacher around: reality. You see them even sending ticket inspectors to do the SGR! And No, we can't say no: see Michael Kamau! That caveat is important to assert, before we continue our Nairobi kindergarten political Olympics! All these hot politics involving the who is who of Kenya, where you, Agwambo, Ouru and Dr. Ruto are the aces, are yes, I call them kindergarten Paralympics!Why, because, Luo Pivot, I went through some position papers of men, unfortunately no women, just before their nations started meteoric rises, aka modernisation. Then I compare with what I see in Nairobi, Handshake or even party manifesto's, and the conclusion is
.... Nairobi is kindergarten mock politics! (Dare I say KALONGOLONGO politics!) NB; The following position papers are available on Internet for those who have time: Singapore Lee Kuan Yew, Early 60's. China Deng Hsiao Ping. Russia Vladimir Putin on succeeding Boris Oblomov Yeltsin. A decade from the dates those position papers were publicly declared as national targets with periodic deadlines, those countries -Singapore, China, Russia--- were heading places. (As you read this, The USA is not invading Venezuela and confiscating her oil fields, only Because Putin has put a few planes there!--revival of a revisionist power so said by the sorely challenged!) Now, Dr. Ruto used that phrase: we want Kenya to go places! And then he blacked out! That is kindergarten paralympics for you! CONTINUED

1b. THE HANDSHAKE CONTRADICTION
FROM MUTUNGA&GITHU TO HAJI, KINOTI&MBARAK
Now one side says no thief can be president, and the other retorts, neither can a drug pusher.
So what is happening here?
I think CHAPTER SIX is SUBCONSCIOUSLY being revisited by a mentally lazy lot. Only in their sleep can this elite face certain pertinent questions, like the relevance of integrity to the statutes of leadership. Like its difficult to find that camel to go through the needle's eye, so it is find a Kenyan politician who, alive or dead, would meet the integrity standard as envisioned in the unbutchered moral chatter promulgated in 2010.
I just mention this in passing because it is been discussed here on Jukwaa at length. But the enactment of the new constitution was placed in, on the face of it, very able hands and ace minds so to speak, Dr. Wily Mutunga as CJ and Prof. Githu Muigai as AG. Howbeit something happened and not even a workable definition could be proposed, let alone operationalised. May be this is where the now accused Judiciary and the Legislature --ever full of corrupt politicians called MPIGS, should engage in their fiercest Kettle versus Pot mock firefight.
After the demise of the top academics at the sword tip of the Cartel, Kenyatta switched tact to ... kind of ... entrust the Military and Secret Services to spearhead the latest farcical thrust at corruption. But if the lawmakers are called Mpigs, the defence forces are known as LOOTENANTS!
The folklorish tabs could mean Kenyans only know the euphemistic parameters of their country too well. 'Honourable Member' for Mpig and 'Patriotic Soldier' for Lootenant, seem to invite that bland say-it-all look on the faces of the Congolese when the former Zaire is called the DEMOCRATIC republic of! May be that too is how the Germans in the now defunct GDR used to feel, when the full name of their Moscow-satellite was pronounced in their presence, officially.
NB: This our new-found-vigour against the Beast ignores our best swordsman ever, John Githong'o. That is something farcical about it. Then THE HANDSHAKE underpinning it exempted or gave a clean bill of dirt to Moi and Kibaki, thereby making some particularly horrid cases of corruption untouchable, and the monies lost to them, lost forever to their true owner, Wanjiku. That reduces the anti-graft fight to a highly selective process, weaponised to victimise only a few, but, propagandised, specifically tailored to nail William Ruto! The rest if they fall along, is collateral damage!
That too is a good marker to place!
