cont: 2. THE HANDSHAKE CONTRADICTIONHaya: No less than in other states, anywhere else on these temperature-threatened planet, the unbridgeability of manifest class interests in Kenya can not be glossed over. Neither by exhortations of patriotism, nor duplicituous calls to UNITY. The best gloss over this interclass quagmire is always the shower of goodies from indisputable economic growth. And that is growth for all sectors of the population at large, aka industrialisation in the 18th century bourgeoisie revolution in the motherlands of capital! These qualifications is important. Aggregate figures can hide horrific income inequalities and social disparities, wherefore the magic formula for real stability in polities like ours, remains the lifting of the poorest segments of the population off their squalor, and that at upped tempo. Here is a taste of the dire. That absolute poverty thingy is less than a dollar a day I think. A level-headed One could therefore insist, where Ouru's ambition is the BigFour he claims, the only agenda in town is a Kenyan version of the 'wirtschaftswunder'. And that is extreme poverty reduction at a hitherto deemed impossible rate in Africa! --(Forget those cooked statistics of Africa rising with 10% growth, and her revised or REBASED GDP's! Just look at the squalor in the slums Africa calls her show-case Megacities! And recall Kenya, Kibera-Mathare and many MAJENGO'S rich, is a kind of success story in SSA. Sub-Sahara! Some standards those!) And yes indeed every politician is talking DEVELOPMENT agendas. But ever since the flags were hoisted (over half a century ago) to mark the end of colonial rule, that has been all the talk. And none has walked that talk, but many a castle built in the air, many a white elephant project launched as a looting device. The proof of that failure is the absence of Singapore's, South Korea's, Malaysia's and Taiwan's of Africa. You can manufacture all the excuses you want, but our power class have been the authors of our own doom. And African tribes found it apparently socially desirable to collaborate with a nyapara class in power whose quisling agenda was the continuation of the political economy of international marginalisation and backyard expropriation --what sometimes is called neocolonialism. THE PARAMETERS OF THE HANDSHAKE Of course one parameter of The Handshake is the continuation of yes, let us just use the technical term and call a spade a spade, the said neocolonialism. This is the facilitation of financial occupation. But for the moment lets consume its tabloid manifestation, which is its aristocratic chicanery as an anti-Ruto weaponisation and, majorly, a comprador gimmick for the continuation of their domination, as agents of Finance Capital. The PAROCHIALISM of this elite parley, is to me why the shake is doomed, sooner rather than later. Extreme deficit funding and the (forced) repay of steep debts is a material problem dictating material responses in real time. The handshake is a bridge of cloth across a canyon where heavy trucks are suppose to pass: Heavy trucks bearing looted goods. It is based on a false premise, Unity as a precondition to solving the problematic of our structural underdevelopment, without a new radical economic deal. Therefore it is only Unity to save a parasitology (or to perpetuate the political economy of mass impoverishment, IE the servicing of debt and the subsidy of primitive accumulation). But keep in mind that, Jubilee Kindergarten Paraympics Nairobi, the biggest problem for the Kenyan elite is of course: PRO or ANTI Ruto to be! The case of the divided loyalties of the Malindi Mpig Aisha Jumwa is a good test-tube case to study in the spreading of risk! So too the mercenary politics of Bonny Khalwale!) But ---it always being the economy stupid----- when is the last time anybody heard any top political actor tackle deficit funding in parliament? at a political rally? or, where else, a weekend funeral or church attendance!? Yet we all know it is the economy very stupid! But the HANDSHAKE first.

CONT. 3A. THE PARAMETERS OF THE HANDSHAKEIt is also based on a false analogy, that in the fight against colonialism, Kenyans were united and this was key in chasing away the settler regime. No, the truth is far from that. There was a wide section of settled Kenyans who rather saw the whiteman's regime continue. Lets call them homeguards, but a formidable constituency they were. They were highly motivated in the war situation against the Mau Mau. Too, they had no confidence in the patriotism of THE KANU hot-shots poised to assume power, no less than the KANU hotshots were themselves suspicious of the Mau Mau! -There was also the significant DoubtingTom constituency which was organised in KADU for instance. They could already smell the pervasive foul of the ethnic obsession of the Big Four, even as they ever yelled UNITY, meant to be only under KANU! These doubters meant to make the point they could see through the UNITY propaganda. People like DT Arap Moi in his pastoral wisdom and native wit, deciphered KANU'S core was fake idealism, but it wore a perfect masquerade. This is why the KADU'ists preferred Majimbo, decentralisation. This was a safety valve to the TOTALITARIAN instincts they perceived in KANU. Now think of TZ for a control: The inter ethnic enmity of Kenya which has been brought to the fore as our Achilles Heel, is a deliberate policy of the same elite declaiming it. It was always deliberate, always a calculated instrument of the Kenyan political elite, to divide and rule. The last decade has seen the publications of memoirs of those who lived then, and observed the dynamics behind the scenes from up close. (Studies too avail, like the rise of the Kenyatta Kiambu Mafia and, for consolidation, the incorporation of GEMA as an instrument of state power in the post-colonial Kenyan state!) Now, TZ is equally poor, but they do not cleave ethnically. So there was a different SIASA over there; quite a different elite obsession was launched by Nyerere and co. But let us make no bones about the truth: Tz is shaky to its bones too, having stunted and failed to industrialise in half a century like the rest! That kind of failure expends legitimacy; it bores many people and creates hordes of disaffected and schools of restive souls. The Islanders ever restless to sail, find a tyrant-minded block on their path, yeah, like a Roman republic waking up to the appointed dictator issuing into emperor! (European libraries have studies like: Nyerere's primitive socialism and the lack of an alternative to capitalism in Africa! But Nyerere did succeed in proving a fundamental point: it does not always have to ethnic in Africa, the bonding at the top! There are alternative consciousness's.) But that is another story. For another day. Ours today is to prod this particular ILLUSION of national Unity in Kenya. It is now all the magic talk, while, only a few months ago during the campaigns, the term ZONING, support base and all narratives underwriting the tyranny of numbers of the VOTING CALCULUS of Kenya, run ETHNIC ALGORITHMS as the smartest option. I assure you those algorithms have not gone defunct. If at all, the coming CENSUS once the results are announced, will feed a new frenzy of upgrade on the same templates or defaults. So lets prod this illusion of the Handshake Unity to reveal it for what it is. Let us be like KADU's DT Moi in 1960, salivating but no fool, coldy eyeing KANU with its disingenuous narrative of Unity under it! This is elite wool over the eyes. May be more over their own eyes than other eyes. May be it is necessary historical exercise in self-deception. And we the public too are game enough to play along and re-enforce the deception. It is a dangerous game, and race to a reality check. Some will recall the magic wand ever waved by the trickster Argeiphontes to shut all eyes and nullify all sharps. Thus mentally deadened is our fitted role to act; wits dimmed, no class analysis; no substantial class divergences seen, so always the ethnic narrative, and, TZ of old, the ditch of primitive socialism if you wish! ----Yes, permit yourself a grin, but those fundamental class-based divergences in Kenya have been successfully canalised elsewhere. They have been pressurised into ethnic timebombs, turning Kenyan presidential elections into rigging rituals, thus provocations with the potential to precipitate mini civil wars. And now we aim to solve the ethnic divisions as the fundamental drawback to development. That is the HANDSHAKE. It is a false analysis, over a false diagnosis at heart. Holy Molly, could there be countries where they do not rig elections!? By Thunder how do they do it! NB: Amazingly the Greatest Democracy on Earth is disqualified from being an example of clean politics. The way the DP under the spell of Hilary Clintonclique rigged out Bernie Sanders is a lesson not in cleanliness but institutional rot! O O O America!) THE ELITE IS BOXED IN, NO OTHER COURSE POSSIBLEHowever, nobody in his right mind whose political fortunes and economic success depends on the continuation, possible perpetuation of neo-colonial Kenya, can oppose the handshake. This is the only game in town to save the status quo. The alternative is TOTAL ECONOMIC REFORM. Total reform will disturb the peace of the international power balance as mapped for our shores. We will explore other options within the contours of this DIKTAT later. (For the Luo Pivot I will ask whether it is a Versailles or Postdam moment! You may think Versailles leads to Weimer, Postdam to Wirtschaft!) Meanwhile the handshake is the Kenyan neo-colonial elite pulling back from the abyss; for the most important consequence of no handshake would be DIVORCE. -This, if you remember David Ndii's infamous article, warning of the consequences of ' incompetent elections', was the slow implosion of Kenya into two republics! By January 30th 2018, the Presidency of Kenya This was possibly a precursor to social chaos both ways. Behold! What a terrible short-term consequence that would be for the EXIM bank, our financier and Rotich's credit card! But still, even in pulling back from the abyss ---a move which in no small measure was catalysed by the outgoing American ambassador Godec in an EXIM-WB-IMF joint venture, the neo-colonial elite have no alternative but more of the same past. Methinks cannibals will be cannibals even if a new and innovative vegetarian diet is free! Devolution is and was great, but it needs sanity in the financial administration of public affairs, otherwise ---the chronicles of State Auditor Ouko and Budget Prefect Odhiambo revisted--- it is just another obvious Greek tragedy. This time of bankruptcy and debt, rather than murder and drama. Eurobond migraine: Treasury secretary Henry Rotich (centre) with PS Kamau Thugge and Controller of Budget Agnes OdhiamboEver ready to bail us out is our friend, the Exim Bank. But Ouch, what a killing they make, skinning us alive It is the tale of the European Central Bank and Athens!3B REPEATING STEPS

3B REPEATING STEPS
One of the looming questions of the announced referendum is the PM slot. This position already exists actually. It was formerly occupied by Joseph Kinyua and since last week, Fred Matiang'i. What remains is just its formalisation.
A faction of the political class primes the referendum to do just that. But the reasons they want it formalised are fishy. It is to widen government and make sure everybody is in government. That is always a GCG like the Raila-Kibaki Koffi Annan monster; yet the political class pretends our kind of democracy is a government on one side, and an opposition on the other to keep government on its toes! (or should we say to mind the government's long fingers?)
NB: I hear they call them ELEPHANT CABINETS elsewhere, but in our Kenyan interpretation of such administrative dead-endism, Mwai Kibaki and you, Agwambo, indulged economic infantility if not outright stupidity when as co-principals you headed a cabinet of 44 ministers with over 80 assistant ministers. It was the price of peace, they said. I wasn't convinced. I looked for second opinions, more intelligent and well-thought. I found intellectual consensus amongst the brainier lots. Elephant cabinets are by definition, practices of senility. They are like Ottoman Mandarinates. A paradise of morons hosting a festival of wastage!
So much for the London econs don from Othaya as a genius! But that is local standards for you, comparing him to DT Arap Moi's vintage backwardness! (when i do Luo Pivots be sure I heard of other standards than purely local ones!)
In the good books, the opposition fights to be in government from the outside, OPPOSING, and hopes come election, they sold well. But where rigging is structuralised, there is of course no hope in hell of such a good-books, by-the-rules power change! That becomes a splitting headache to solve! (Howbeit Kenya, and for that matter not even the usual TROPICANA states, are the worst cases of this debilitating political Malaria!)
Anyway, at their wits end, our local nyapara's, unable to practice hygiene in elections, want to play dichotomous electoral politics where everybody emerges a winner at the booth! It is the old parable of eating ones cake and having it! That is the handshake for you! --Loose or win doesn't matter, we are all in. Rig or not, the difference is the same!
That is the essence of your referendum, Agwambo. It is an elite GCG formula, or a concoction so that no parasite worries about being rigged out! Yes it is a peace effort, but, costs apart, rather childish ---and not because the Singh is primed to be collateral damage!
For a deeper dive, have you taken spy of the labour disputes lining up on the sidelines!?
The labour-capital handshake unveiled, and you are talking like an adult. Mano e kuku wach. A national labour-capital parley!
What room there, under the diktat of finance capital?

3c. NOW YOU HAVE IT, NOW YOU DON'T! THE KENYAN PRIME MINISTER
We have at various times in our history enjoyed this position: Prime Minister of Kenya. I can remember Raila's MOU with Mwai Kibaki. That was the TOSHA THINGY which, miracles happen, no sooner was Emilio sworn in than he never heard of. The once legendary General Coward developed some balls, didn't he!? Power increases courage apparently, in equal measure to stupidity, unfortunately. That was 2002.
What followed Kibaki's power-fired deviation from his careful, non controversial self, was a period of political upheaval which culminated in the GCG ceasefire, and the monstrosity midwifed by Koffi Annan. Come 2008, Raila became the PM he should have been in 2002. Well, he had to contend with a ratty player named Francis Muthaura. The ambassador was always cutting corners to usurp or steal Tinga's thunder!
Part of the upheavals I infer, are the bloody troubles in the Rift Valley which would mark the ascension of William Ruto to paramountcy. DT Arap Moi was defunct. Howbeit in the wake of the Annan arrest, a new settlement came, edified as the new constitution, first referendumed then promulgated in 2010.
In that settlement the PM's slot as occupied by Raila, co principal to the president, was excised. And much haggling did we witness in that deal.
This excision is a similar fate to what the slot suffered in 1964, soon after Kenya became a republic. The then PM, Jomo Kenyatta, became President and the PM's slot was abolished. Two centres of power was too much of a scary prospect for the nervous petit bourgeoisie, gearing up to primitively accumulate. Jaramogi Odinga stayed VP, a portfolio doomed to be hollowed out, much the same way Ruto's auspices as co-prezzo are now ordained to be an empty shell, that after Fred run away with the fat at the behest of Uhuru. Leaving Sir William to put on his best poker face.
NB: Uhuru Kenyatta fumed loud when, predictably, one half of the cabinet boycotted the first Matiang'i sitting; and, on the other hand, who knows what Ruto felt when he too, chaired only one wing of the cabinet. These were small incidences, but they told big tales of the power game at the top. It is a rift no longer simmering,but full fledged.
Here is how THE MUTINY was reported by Nairobi's Star
Vuta ni kuvute.
Anyway, to continue the adventures of the PM slot, we FF to 2019. 2019 has to deal with the chilling option of DIVORCE where WE, THE PEOPLE, having sworn-in our President in a MOCK, KALONGOLONGO show, yet a ritual profound enough to smithereenISE the legitimacy claims of the OFFICIAL president, find ourselves herded back to the same abattoir we fled!
That is penning it up some, the anger.
Still they all recognise there is a deeper chicanery needed to cull that mass anger. This fury, now tanking against corruption, is barely concealed throughout the land. It is therefore not enough to swat and banish to distant irrelevance, the most radical and articulate political expression of that anger in volume --Miguna Miguna, nay, there is need for a real response on the ground. The restive need must be tranquilised. We do not want a stampede in the yard, even an accidental one!
How do you do that at the top without incorporating Agwambo!? --Agwambo being the nearest thing to the personification of the peoples' will, as it were, The Peoples President!
Yeah, the numbers to buttress the tyranny of Jubilee had evaporated. Of course Chebukati and Chiloba did try their best to round them up, but, Alas, it became an exercise in forlorn comedy, if not, in a frown without humour, a treasonable feat.
So it comes to pass that we are in the era of the Handshake. One year after the so-called MOCK oath. EEE, kalongolongo nogo!
But, pray tell, O ancestors! That Chebukati-EABC election which awarded Uhuruto the presidency after the NASA boycott: was it not another MOCK, KALONGOLONGO thingy!?
Koso dhano man kod wich moting'o obwongo nyalo luongo gicha ni PINY-OWACHO!? Yawa, maka nene KALONGOLONGO tuk nyithindogi: Chebukati gi Chiloba giri!
Now, the key issue in the much hyped referendum to be is, you guessed it, an executive premier. This is to be the (stop gap?) solution to the KALONGOLONGO merry-go-round stalemates at the top. One part of that stalemate reached its peak with the Dual Presidency. Ruto wasn't VP, he was co-president. That echoed the alleged parity of the Raila-Kibaki principate. A cumbersome act which crashed pretty fast. ---Two is quite a crowd on that single seat you know. We already did the Roman gauntlet to highlight the point. The solution template is an eternal nomad wandering from the Triumviracy to the Tetrarchy's .... to Diktator Maximus to Divine Emperor! Murder always proved irresistible, treachery a staple!
But in our modern times, ever since the murder of Robert Ouko which echoed those of JM and TJ, we have not seen adopted as an intra-elite factional settlement, the physical slaying of an obvious Kenyan president in waiting! But the nature of the game of power hasn't changed a dime!
May be we learnt something, may be we just been lucky! Who knows!?

CONCLUSION.
1. ABSENT THE VISION THING LUOLAND?
Koro, Iwinjo Omera Agwambo, baruwa chanda ndikoni nikech gigi thago chunya, to moloyo, ok a ne ka juoki ochomona wang'ayo kuma daguegi-e, sigueya moro mar Okamkalo!
What is Sigueya mar Okamkalo!?
Okamkalo is what George Bush snr. once dubbed 'The Vision Thing.'
This Vision Thing is Trouble everywhere. It is where a current leader of a country wants his country to be in century's time. A head-spinner. The Vision is then segmented into digestible parts. Starting from 2010 Kenya for instance, we had the 2030 Vision. Such decade stretches of time are further subdivided into, thinking of Deng Hsiao Ping, 10-year targets of 5-year Development plans. And the 5 years are brought down to quarters.
HAYA! ODHI! ----mana koro ruedhi oserwak e jok! charidi muoch nyadichiel to koro en laind pur nyaka gom, ad infinitum!
Today, in the competitive rat-race of nations, every leader of every country on earth is wrestling with their own Vision Thing, for their country. From Saudi Arabia to Israel, from Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin (locked in a new arms-race after the double suspension of that INF Nuclear Treaty); From Xi Jinpin to Raul Castro, the airwaves and algorithms of the net are inundated with the Vision Thingy.
So as I was looking around in academic interest, I failed to find The Vision Thing for our Kavirondo republic of Winam!
That was when I discovered I still have a temper. In the main, these days I consider myself grandfatherly, Ie too old to have a tantrum! I was wrong apparently. I was wrong in thinking the adventures Africa afforded me in my youth had purged off the faculty of anger as felt by the heart. -Man, I am pissed off today with my heart, though my head is holding fort, cold.
I am saying, once no longer the peoples' president, The One possessed of The Vision Thing, Agwambo you are fare game together with rest of the Nairobi lot
..., quisling.
Historical dung.
.....
when a class has reached its evolutionary peak, every solution they come up with is a dead-end; at best a throwback. Everything they do is to dig deeper their grave and prove their irrelevance in lead rolls. Africa's current political elite has stunted and retarded. It is comparable to the tribal leadership in place which was overrun by the European colonial machine.
That is why Chinese Capital is effectively taking over Africa. And on a platter too! It is de-ja-vu!

conclution 2. THE TRAGEDY OF AFRICA BROUGHT HOME
It is a wipe-out!---a walk over so to speak---- if one imports the clauses a hapless Zambia and desperate Kenya signed for cash (not to mention Burma, Laos or Sri Lanka)!
These suspensions of sovereignty happen when leaderships truly mess up. Some will recall Russia took over Syria to --militarily-- bail out that junior son of Assad. Assad badly messed the politics of his land wherefore he sorely needed to contain the regime change onslaught. This dread danger came from who else but the NATO, Israel and their usual allies, the Wahabi cut-throats. Syrian independence stood in the way of their Sunni pipeline to Europe. And Europe, by one transatlantic narrative, needed to be liberated from the Tshaka-like Impi-lock of Russian gas pipelines.
Bashir al-Assad's political autism, even naiveté about the totality of dynamics active in his dynastic succession to his autocratic daddy, Hafez, has been very costly to his country. But more often than not, the only way a country learns the simplest lessons here leadership forgot, is to pay a horrific blood price for that negligence of her politicians, both sides of the divide.
At the same time we witnessed the drama of modern Greece under the Boot of the EU, at the diktat of Germany. They could vote all the NO's they wanted, but at the end whoever they elected would do exactly as commanded from up North! An EU commissioner even told them openly to stop wasting money they didn't have on meaningless elections and referenda! -Ati: democracy may sound Greek to you, be even your heritage, but I assure you Drachma's wont buy it back!
The band of gangsters atop the AU (African Union) are not far from the above, but in their case, otherwise economics for the moment. They messed bad the economics of their lands, our lands. Africa. So reality takes us to its bare-knuckels school. We switch neo-colonial masters. China kicks out The West, becomes top Dog in Africa. Africa's is to hope Master China is kinder of heart than the former master, Mr. European!
So NB1: China takes over to do what the African political elite should but can't do. ---These are ABC stuff like build roads, women's clinics, public toilets, footpaths, airports, railway stations, grow great fish; construct dams, electric grids, lay out communication infrastructure, launch satellites, forge TU's (Technical Universities), train ICT'ers, fund R&D and AI and pay workers on time. We are basically talking everything modern states should do, even guarantee women safe pregnancies, en masse! In other words Xi JinPin has to
.... kind of
.... make efforts to industrial Africa himself! This is a task which no longer can be left to the IMF, WB and their mostly chickensh!t locals, aka AU heads. (It was under the protectoracy of the IMF&WB when Africa sank to rock bottom under the deadweight of SAP. And it was from that total sink China fished Africa from in the 90's. Christin Lagarde is therefore merely a fly Xi tolerates on his dung!)
For real the China option is sailing next to Skylla to avoid the abyss of Charybdis, but some mistakes mean an adult runs out of choices, and is time barred.

concl. WHAT REALLY DOES THE KENYAN PRESIDENT OR PREMIER BRING TO THE TABLE?NB2: As for the president of Kenya or prime minister, executive or dummy (prototype) like Matiang'i, I already announced my conclusion yesterday: these are less than terracotta play things, miniatures kept in the filing cabinets of Exim bank clerks!That is really what I think. The Kenyan flag should always be hanged together with the Chinese colours, but ours lower, to publicly acknowledge the terrible reality of the unequal power between the colony pretending sovereignty, and the motherland subsidising the economy. It is a healthy mindset, to acknowledge reality as it is. Denying it is psychiatry!Pride, Equal heights, sensitivities minde! There is a great joke in Brussels why all flags hang the same height! It is a sad joke if ones economy is peripheral, or an ICU case as they say in the corridors of power. Well, I am not yet a nutter. Though for the sake of peace I should entertain a bit of nuttiness, just like the others I have seen loudly proclaim the elevation of Fred Matiang'i to super cabinet minister does not change the power equation in Nairobi to the negative of Ruto. That is like claiming the teaching of Mandarin in Kenya Primary Schools is not a reflection of the diminishing clout of the AngloSaxon modus in Kenya! I say we aren't just facing East, we are going East! Back to the Monsoon calendar and Trade Route! May be we should now talk of MONSOON ALGORITHMS! Omiyo, gigi duto ka'aparo, Agwambo, I feel more mentally comfortable operating on the Luo Pivot. Then I feel no obligation whatsoever to indulge any nuttiness whatsoever for whatever purpose. As a Kenyan not much bothered to exercise his mind I am game enough to salute you huge --In e Rwadh Oganda! Amollo Chuny Piny! When you shake Ouru's hand, the storm gathering over Kenya subsides, magic, like you were Jesus calming the tempest over the sea of Galilee. Indeed coming was a storm ready to wash off the flimsy legitimacy awarded Uhuruto by the Chiloba-Chebukati Kalongologo comedy, aka repeat elections! Howbeit as a Luo mosewuotho moseneno, eyes ever keen to fathom the darks of reality, and minded to be of wont to show high aptitude to understand the depths, there is nothing else but pity to ooze upon thee comprador ilk. Having demystified thee historical act, there is even a rising tide of contempt to puke upon thee. I easily conclude I rather expend salutes on the real master of our circumstances, tongue in cheek it be, the distant emperor Xi. Xi and his fat wallet is the controller of our Destiny at this moment. Kenya is like a slayqueen in his harem. (Trump surely can't catch up on him now, can he!?) Xi's bank, EXIM, waved Kenyan sovereignty aside --dare I say, the way Obado's largess waved aside Sharon Otieno's marital vows, and then apart her thighs; thereafter the bank attached whatever it wanted as collateral, and forbade Ouru and Ruto to reveal this confiscation to Kenyans. And of course to Kenyans was Uhurutoe bound by an oath of deep allegiance. Driving a hard bargain, for arbitration by any conflict (should Kenyans wake up and yell wait a moment, and force the quisling lot to rethink) see Chinese laws! It is a cage! A nationalist would be heartbroken! A patriot enraged beyond consolation! Kenyan politics are being conducted within the pockets of Emperor Xi, within the accounts of his Exim Bank. This beggars an avalanche of questions. What is the game of thee elites in Nairobi? How long can this keeping up of appearances last?
Why not recognise yourselves as a subsidiary, Agwambo, the way the settler regime and its governor recognised itself as an appendage of the colonial office in London!?
What is the worth of your decisions in Nairobi, Chinese law holding veto over your minds? your tongues gagged like Bonny Khalwale's by Ojienda for Kidero on Mumias accounts!? And when you are banned from revealing to Kenyans the deals you elites have signed on behalf of the land, is that not the Manchoukou situation of the last emperor of China, Pu Yi!? POSTSCRIPT: PUYI (Aisin Gioro Puyi)

NB2: As for the president of Kenya or prime minister, executive or dummy (prototype) like Matiang'i, I already announced my conclusion yesterday: these are less than terracotta play things, miniatures kept in the filing cabinets of Exim bank clerks!
And when you are banned from revealing to Kenyans the deals you elites have signed on behalf of the land, is that not the Manchoukou situation of the last emperor of China, Pu Yi!?
POSTSCRIPT: PUYI (Aisin Gioro Puyi) PUYI? But before PuYi, a small confession. I was pulling your leg, or preferably head, O fellow Kenyan. What I really have in mind is LAIBON LENANA. --WHY? Here is a hint Now, I have faced classes with young Maasai nationalists, and asked point blanc: give me a take on Lenana's 1904 ' Ogirimiti'. Many Kenyans think he surrendered your lands forever to the Whiteman in one of the most stupid trades ever on any continent. But jamaa must have had his reasons, no!? So the leg pull is this: I venture us to peer at Harvardian Henry Rotich's mortgaging of Mombasa Port as a collateral to the SGR loan as a LENANA parallel. Rotich's acquiescence to Chinese Jurisdiction, is a perfect fit to Lenaná's thumb, complete faith and trust in recognising only British jurisdiction on the matter. -Kweli jamaa alikuwa out of options! Enduring settlement!? BUT THERE WAS THIS MAN, CHARLES ELIOTHe was commissioner of British East Africa, 1900-1904. or he was a Correct. And his direct boss was Lord Henry Lansdowne, The British foreign secretary. These british gentlemen, conviction white supremacists, seeking economic rendability, lawding the completion of the railway, the so-called Lunatic express, had already advertised the abundance of GRANT Land in the East African protectorate, and there was a rush to grab it as it were. Here is wikipedia Yes, 1300 sq km for starters! and coming is a land-rush!That appetizer of 1300 sqkm was already as good as granted in 1902. 2 years IN ADVANCE before 1904! Now the acreage, the sqkm had to be found. Woe upon the natives laying claim to it! How could LAIBON LENANA know what he was walking into, trusting the British colonial administration!? He hadn't gone to Harvard like our Henry Rotich today, had he!? Rotich, the best ever from the valley of Kerio! LENANA'S IN-TRAYBut of course there were internal, local factors at play too. Call it the Maasai political economy. Lenana was freshly crowned, and the seat was hot. His legitimacy was thin, since to one faction he was seen as a usurper. His disadvantaged Brother Senteu was a kind of Dingane to Tshaka, or, a milder version of a thorn in the side, Moses Kuria to Uhuru Kenyatta. In both cases the back has to be watched, prudently. An epidemic of rinderspest had decimated livestock; sleeping sickness and pox too claimed their casualties. Crisis was the name, economic and social. Further a field at the frontiers, an alliance to grab hunting, pasture and agricultural land threatened, this time from natives. That alliance brought together the Kipsigis, Kikuyu and Kamba, mostly in retaliation at Maasai footsoldiers in the colonial expeditionary forces. These morans went marauding at their territories, compensated by rustled livestock to top their rinderpest-depleted stocks. The whiteman read the situation he could play the natives out and have all their land for himself and his kind. Now, let us revisit the scene in which the Brit offers his machine-gun cough to help the besieged Lenana subdue his many enemies. Lenana is desperate, and reckons going into protectorate under the Brit, in exchange for what the Briti hungers for, Land, is a good bargain.Little does he know of this line from Charles Eliot So in 1904 Now hold that scene, and with it let us race through time to our days and frame it as if to proof-read our cabinet secretary for finance, Henry Rotich, as he cuddles to the Chinaman of EXIM bank, offering his 'budgetary protectoracy' and help with the SGR thingy. --On a few conditions naturally! Yeah! Now I feel free to do PuYi! -Puyi in Manchoukou! Japan over China!

TO DEFLECT THE PRESSURE FROM BELOWThey say, in Africa, when you see frogs jump around in broad-daylight, know you something is after their lives. Kisii hosted the Big Three last. LameDuck Ouru and his prodigal brother-return-home, Agwambo the Canaan Abortee; Corrupt DP William Ruto ---guilty as charged of handling in stolen properties; And the coming power-corrupted man, Amorous Fred Matiang'i. (Well, lots of members of the rotting caste tarried along!) Officially they were there for something to do with opening a new hospital –-cancer diagnostics equipped and all. The nurses strike would solve itself, county by county. Especially bitter for the former Canaan guide, Bulldozer, is that in the neighbouring Homa Bay, the national organisation of doctors, KMPDU, have deposited an official document urging the re-transfer of the doctor's management back to the national government. That is, the Homa Bay county government has been proven too primitive and backward to manage (anything!?) doctors, and the health service. How does primitiveness look like? Here is a hint from last year. Talk of festering wounds! It is called humiliation, when an MBCHB can't pay rent in Homa Bay! I know of places where, if a man or woman went through medical school, and is Herr Doctor, they are the only profession who would jump a red traffic light without a ticket. Even the Prime Minister gets one, fleeing from from an attempted assassination! --traffic rules are traffic rules, except for medics! But in Homa Bay, a doctor can only buy a quarter kilo of meat on credit! -- Yaye hola ring'o abiro chuli chieng' kochulwa!And backwardness is like [quote ]Homa Bay threatens to replace over 650 striking nursesFeb. 19, 2019, 6:00 pm By ROBERT OMOLLO The Homa Bay county government has warned 689 nurses in the county that they risk being replaced for participating in an unlawful strike. The county said it will initiate fresh recruitment of nurses should the medics fail to report to work by Friday.
Health executive Richard Muga on Tuesday maintained the nurses were hired under contract basis which is subject to renewal after their period expires.
“The court does not recognise the nurses’ strike. They should return to work before Friday or we replace them because we’ll consider that they shall have terminated their contract,” Muga said. Homa Bay nurses began their strike two weeks ago over claims of poor working conditions in health facilities, delayed salary payment and implementation of the collective bargaining agreement.
Over 60 doctors in the county also joined the strike last week. Muga said his office wants an explanation from the medics on why they could not return to work after Governor Cyprian Awiti addressed them. [/quote]Professorial logic in Homa Bay! (I have to unearth a Miguna quote on the state of the intellectual bureaucracy of the once Odinga caliphate!And I haven't told you who comes from Homa Bay! Yours truly, Gladys Wanga, Amillo Gesagesa, Opondo Kaluma, Shem Ochuodho, The Kajwang's! Awiti Magwanga and Owidi! Ei! Wadok chien Omera! And so it is good it is a Dr. Ouma Oluga rubbing it in THE LOOP! From Cyprian Awiti and Richard Muga to Cicily Kariuki and Muraguri (or whatever it is the Permanent secretary in that department!). Let's say it is a jump from the fire back to the frying pan! Sometimes, when leaders fcuk up, that is the reality of the options a people have! And no doubt man will invent solutions outside the box. Herding a whole people to a dead-end is a deal with no-takers. So the frogs croaked loud in Kisii, trying to convince themselves they are on top of the national crisis!

IV: LETTER TO THE PEOPLES' PRESIDNETHis Excellency H.E Amollo Tinga
Here is a quick list of Abcd's. I consider them examples of elementary stuff which make an immediate difference.
1. NASA COUNTIES ENVIRONMENTAL HYGIENE CODE
2. THE QUESTION OF THE WATER HYACINTH
His Excellency should issue a decree, declaring the removal of the hyacinth (water weed) from Lake Victoria Nambwa, a peoples priority. To concretise this move, His Excellency should spearhead the formation of a company named exactly after what its purpose is: KAVIRONDO HYACINTH REMOVAL COMPANY.
Common sense I said. No fancy stuff yet.
Next step is FINANCING. This to me is the easiest part of the puzzle. The difficult part is the operational engineering and logistics, say of 100,000 strong young men in the snake-filled swamp, daily manually harvesting the weed into conveyor boats or rafts. But in my travels I saw deeper, more dangerous open-mines in the Congo manually worked by similar numbers, 24/7. So I know manual water-swamp hyacinth mining is difficult, but not really that much difficult.
DEATH TO THIEVES!
Start reading the Auditor General's accounts and note down names for further questioning. I am game.Some interesting reports: Better late than never!? Or is it history repeats itself as farce and then etc etc? What can I say!? Ruth Odinga was deputy governor of Kisumu county! her brother just discovered yesterday a 76M scrap heap had been bought in another looting exercise!? That is farce, and then tragi-comic, and finally just plain tragic. Then ksh. 2M couldn't be found to find some jua-kali spareparts, three years long. Well, Jack Ranungo Nyanguma's hotel bills per week, already exceeded that! Now, I once joked we go Singapore, Kavirondo republic. Obviously the firs thing is a ruthless purge of vermin. The ODM bureaucracy is like the hyancinth weed itself. It should be removed at an industrial scale. Serious is serious, jokes are jokes. Singapore is not fiction. It happened. On planet Earth. ENTER AGWAMBO TINGA

BUT HERE IS THE BAD NEWS AGWAMBO! What is the bad news? This idea was worth financing with what is called VENTURE CAPITAL. That is the way SILICON VALLEY GREW BIG! And industrialisation came about.
A simple invention by one man. Then a specialist technical team is assembled and a prototype built to experiment. Fail, risk was worth it, back to the inventions lab. Viable, then move to commercial production and deployment.
Not yet that kind of thinking in Kavirondo! Nothing beats an inventor, today we celebrated the Samsung FOLD phone! You don't want to know the headaches before it reached the market! But it started somewhere, by a decision to fund an idea, and team work at it with the best technical brains and software engineers!
What is new!? That is how the bullet train came from Stevensons steam locomotive!

LUO PIVOT: AGWAMBO YO!
1. WHAT IS A NECROCRACY?
There is an odious reason why I am bringing this up: the rule of dead brain cells in a living body.
Agwambo Yo, In e Tinga ma payo wang'ayo ma waluwo! In e geno marwa ni Migingo noduogi, and you are the HANDSHAKE whose firmness has jarred Don Quixote Kenyatta to the wakefulness where reality can be faced. But in the same move, have you dispersed Ruto's wits, injuring his ambition while reducing him and his court to hysterical rant-a-rant.
say
MURKOMEM: That Kakitendawili Kazee should be arrested for treason. He swore himself in as peoples' president. He is a conman and belongs to jail. May be from there, he can appeal for a presidential pardon. etc etc!
Obviously, the senate majority deputy leader, has mentally collapsed. He will recondition his mind or it will wholly expire.
Dr. William Ruto explained with important earnestness: Raila is trying to STOP THE DAMS FROM BEING BUILT, but they will be built because it is the governments program. Watu wenye chuki, propaganda, ukabila na siasa za maendeleo bandia, lords of poverty and perenial election losers, will not stop us!
The fresh Chiromo doc appeared serious, at least to himself.
Some people were shocked on twitter. The most sighed, one more symptom The Hustler has lost the plot,and his mind is following.
1. The dams were commissioned long ago, and the budgets ALREADY RELEASED by Henry Rotich. A Kerio man himself. But they have not been built because, instead, Rotich and co (Kerio Development Authority which, ethnically profiled like DPP Haji's charge sheet) spent the money otherwise. They also chose a cash-challenged Italian contractor guaranteed to fail; a partner in crime. Now Ruto and Rotich are claiming it was Raila who ordered them and the KVDA to the following expenditures and adventures: buy mattresses, buy hundreds of double-cabs for every mpango wa kando and wife of every political sycophant; conduit kickbacks to London and back to Nairobi; and deliver phantom dams on hometurf.
Even the most stupid and Ruto-believing Kalenjin wasn't swallowing: change propaganda tune bwana daktari, they advised. A Kalenjin comedian took it up further: no fertiliser, Raila. No money to buy maize from Kalenjin farmers, Raila. No sex from our wives, Raila. No dams, Raila. So now, don't tell me about the destruction of waterheads like Mau Forest; the rains should have been here, but this Raila has surely telephoned God and said, no rains to Kalenjins! ---eeeeh, when is this Enigma dying so that we can be free to speak the truth in Kalenjinland!
WHEN IS THIS ENIGMA DYING?
That was the line which did me in, Agwambo Sir.
Across the border in the land of King Kong, the unsurpassed comedy dancer
M7 has decided his son, General he be, is no match for the reggae-armed Bobby Wine. So, Old Kaguta, fearing Baby Kaguta will face the music, is staying put. Presumable until death do him and Uganda part.
Far North in Algeria, past the necrophilic Sudans, the Algerian situation has introduced a new word into the lexicon of African politicology. The word is NECROCRACY. Earlier on we saw the terms kleptocracy, mobutocracy, and millitocracy variously used to characterise matters terrible, aspects of African state realities.
A young female student carried a placard during the recent demos in Algiers: Allah does not hate us enough to bless us with a NECROCRAT. n other words, the long-serving president Bouteflika has reached his biological end, but stays in office. He is to all purposes DEAD, but unburied, he continues to rule. (Cartoonists depict him dead, but with eyes open). Un-dead, he has postponed elections and, thus, the corpse plans to continue ruling. It is a necrocracy. Who is controlling the corpse!? The Algerians know!
It is a dark tale, but the Algerian youth do have a realistic take on their land. International wires and Big Media houses have not dared repeat that truth: a necrocratic crisis.
So I thought, HMMM, in case, who will bell the cat for the Luos should they find themselves in the new African fix? Everybody is life president until they can't know they are dead or alive, a necrocratic crisis. We saw it with Mugabe, Mubarak, Zenawi, Bongo, we will see it with Kagame, Nguesso, Derby.
Forewarned is therefore forearmed. It is good to plot a dignified exit.

2. AGWAMBO YO, O Paramount Leader of the Luo, O African Statesman etc etc etc, Vintage Luo intellect gathered in your court, are expending themselves fighting phantoms. That would be an exercise in comedy, were the stakes not material. Historically, 'ghostbusting' is an outrageous waste of scarce resources. It is the kind of sh!thole mistake societies pay deeply for in the long-term. Going by that, Luo society too shall pay steeply for this historical misdemeanour under your paramountcy. When one deploys their heaviest calibres to irrelevant, non-decisive battlefields, one is in a loosing game, duped. The ethnic battles which seem to be the all-consuming passion of the political bandit class of Kenya, is a counterfeit front, mock or Kalongolongo as we now say since Tuju. The relationships of production where the socio-economic wealth is generated, that is the crux of the matter. That is the centre of political gravity, in Kenya or anywhere else. One needs to mind the fraudulent forms Proteus will undergo in a bid to hide his true identity. And it is within that true identity that the god of the sea reveals the nature of the voyage to be. I remember something of my Old man, Jakaswanga One. He regretted the degeneration of the Mboya assassination into a Gikuyu versus Luo narrative. Njenga Njoroge was a mere hired assassin, my dad told me, tricked into a fall-guy situation. Gunner Njoroge reputedly asked: what about the big man? He asked that at the gallows when it dawned on him he had been set up and would bear the consequences of his act as an individual. Later, I would introduce my dad to the Serbo-Yugoslav nationalist, Princip, so that we could argue some. Old Jakaswanga was mental sport, always. (No, if puszy and fish were already catered for!) Gavrilo Princip was a Serb with a healthy dose of anti-colonialism. The Austrio-Hungarian empire had annexed Bosnia in 1908. This was a wound to his proud heart. My father regretted that people will be primitive, and Kenya's first-president Jomo Kenyatta in assassinating popular Tom Mboya by the hand of a mercenary, had fathered rot at the heart of a new country. That Kamau quickly manipulated Gikuyu opinion to cover for his individual crime and base character, was to prime a slow infusion of poison into the body politic of the new republic. The false narrative of ethnic incompatibility which, curiously, never bothered Tz much, has evolved to absorb, sap and sabotage the synergy which otherwise would have fuelled a national rise. Today, watching DP Ruto go full throttle mobilising his base to cover up for his individual acts of state robbery, I smile alot at the memory of my dad. Fukcing Fisherman always kept an abundance of smarts upstairs. Illiterate but a hard man to fool if ever there was such a one. What a waste of political talents just to defend theft, lies and criminal pathology! what a heap of garbage, this political class. That is why too, a ' father of the nation fathering rot at the heart of the new country' would occupy my mind seriously ever since. Because it adequately seems to summarise what had happened in most post-colonial African countries. The founding fathers left behind, matured rot. And gosh, aint it been 50 years of flowing pus. (Biafra, Rwanda, Angola, Congos! to mention but a few) --No bodybags to count in Africa. Omiyo, Iwinjo Agwambo, you being called the father of the second liberation triggers a certain twitch of anxiety in my thinking. Murphy's law as in history repeats itself ----from Mubarak to Al-Sisi, from Jafar el Numeiri to Omar el Bashir, from Boumediene to Bouteflika, or, by the graces, Botswana is a beacon if one bothers, and dares! But whatever you do, Agwambo, stray far from the Bouteflika option, necrocratism; stay away from the Mugabe option, zombie leader; avoid the K-K blueprint, for Kagame and Kaguta everlast; study the Nelson Mandela pitch, or even a Julius Nyerere. The devolution you brought, has already enough rot at its core, to dictate a heart surgery. Be warned. NB: Why is fighting Ruto fulltime a side-show?Because a comprehensive review of the Auditor General's reports since, does not give the counties of Luoland anything to smile about. The rot we see magnified in Ruto, festers right here in Kavirondo. The governors you delivered with your devolution campaigns, were nothing but Mini Ruto's.Or what did you think Dr. Evans Kidero is? Poison, No?

Money Money everywhere spent, but not a single success project!
If you have heard of the KERIO VALLEY DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AND ITS PHANTOM DAMS, KVDA, you may want to hear of LAKE VICTORIA ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROJECT, LVMP, and its KALONGOLONGO HYACINTH MACHINE, but costing the heavensYap! can't blame Ruto on this one!
Agwambo, magi e gik momiyo ijari ni Lord of poverty! Your sister Ruth was deputy governor of Kisumu, and from her Molasses office, she could see the machine rotting at the habour all these years! --No!?

THE ORIGINAL SIN, IN THE PUBLIC DOMAINNow. Agwambo, China wont fund to Kisumu unless a viability projection is satisfactory!? I think they looked at the land compesation rates the politicians have lined through Kericho tea plantations, and said these African politicans are sh!theads. Even the HODUMA number which gives access to what every Kenyan owns is not enough guarantee! The railway can be built, Agwambo, but not when theft and fraud are the key motives! --Heck, The Vladivostok to Moscow, or Moscow to st Petersburg, or Trans-Canada, Toronto to Vancouver, weren't exactly built on commercially viable projections. Man is a political animal too you know. But with people like Swazuri running lands, NLC, upto yesterday, 100% fraud is a killer disease. AGWAMBO: Frankly speaking: are you sure the counties of Nairobi, Nakuru, Kericho, Kisumu, Busia, pooling resources together, with economic efficiency and auditing austerity as the benchmarks, can not finance and build a light-rail track From Naivasha to Busia? It isn't the money which is the problem is it? I am sure the Chinese people told you and Ouru that. It is the politics. And BTW: The EXIM plan is to fund the railway all the way through Kampala to Kigali, to Bujumbura and Goma. But then, you saw Museveni and Kagame in a petty quarrel which closed the border between their countries. Then you want to wait, don't you, for the Africans to grow up, even if you are an express lunatic financier! Well, there have been clashes on the border between Kisumu and Nandi counties! or is that Kericho ---Awasi Muhoroni Chemelil traject. There are also clashes on the Kericho Narok border areas! May be the charity must begin at home!

RE: ON OFFICIAL OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION RESPONDS TO A WAIL FROM AFRICA!
The (accusing) report read: on average seven women die in Kenya per day of unsafe abortions. MEDI-AID which the USA has been dispensing to Africa, including Kenya, has been very instrumental in basic primary care. This is amongst some of the most wretched places in Africa, the famous Kibera slums for instance.
Then in came Donald Trump and his religious fundamentalists allied to Mike Pence. They stopped funding anything related to abortions. Even the distribution of information folders on the subject was a step too far. Most of the clinics in slums which were financed by MEDI-AID USA have closed or are running next to empty. Nurses and visiting doctors have had to find keep elsewhere.
A journalist confronted an official of the Trump regime with this inhumanity. --You have deserted the poor negroes! shame on you, lord of th exceptional land under God! But the Trumpian man was unfazed, he dismissed the jounalist straight on: Some of these countries we gather they steal half their tax payers money. I gather they steal less from themselves, they can pay their own health bills. We aint Santa you know. Go ask them why they steal from their own people and demand foreigners pay their bills the taxes should cover. And don't come back to bother me with bull-sh!t.
PS
Credited with saving how many!? waaaH 22M people! Hosana!
BUT WHAT HAVE STUDIES SHOWN SINCE TRUMP? Okay, so more womenfolk from the wretched of the earth are dying across the slums of other continents and Africa, say ... like ... Kibera where a by-election is coming?
And Donald Trump should care!? More than Raila and his brother Ouru, and the rest of the gang like Ruto and MDVD!?
Wololo!
I think the Yankee gave the best adult answer: 'if the sh!thole republics stole less from themselves and used their taxes better, they can fund their own safe abortions or whatever. I got other stuff to mind.' Donald Trump's is a nativist racist regime yes, but when it comes to this one, he knocks out every criticus cold. Even nativist racists can be right!
Over to you, the peoples president! Steal less, buy more Medicare for the people. And if you are not the thief, find the scumbag and finish him by first confiscating all his looted gains. Otherwise of course the average 7 female deaths per day may just rise. Sad, unless it makes you happy like Ruto says it does, to wallow in the squalor of others and be their lord of poverty, dynast and Qing!
Or may be the issue is this: why should Trump care? It is after all Xi Jinpin's problem! We no longer look West, do we!?
Aweyi gi mago inindgo!
