Is President Kenyatta RUNNING SCARED ON THE LAME-DUCK STRETCH?Is H.E already paralysed beyond repair, and the kicks we are seeing are not even those of a dying horse, but the spasms of rigor mortis? I will be your pathologist! but spare me the theatrics, like the comical prosecution of the former chief pathologist, Moses Njue, charged with stealing body parts to instruct with at his bandia medical school! O TIME! doesn't it just fly, and with it the good plans melt away!
O time, so quick is ones up, and all there is left? ones folded tail. I must admit I am one of the bunch who are now more captivated by the post-Uhuru settlement and fall-out, than by the president's current term. This term I already treat as not even limping but dead. The future has kicked it dead on arrival, and I only attend to its post-mortem. ( Remember those embarrassing moments when hackers intrude the servers of major newspapers only to reveal lengthy obituaries of healthy politicians, already written, stored and waiting for the BREAKING NEWS of the deaths! Yeah, even the setting Queen Elizabeth of the British Commonwealth whose grandson is getting hitched today already has more or less a finalised obituary in the vaults of all media houses, British and non-British! The moment she breathes her last, the moment the BUTTON will hit and the floodgates unleashed!)Post mortem thus, yet it is barely a year after Ouru Kenyatta's last re-election. This victory was of course much aided by the tampering of computer software and other irregularities, or was that one nullified only for the next to suffer a 70% boycott rate? wherefore Kenyatta's loud-mouthed legitimacy continues to be haunted by furtive complexes of guilt ever contorting its face in public. Oh, algorithms, the new invisible hand in all public decisions! But who, is the god's infallible mathematician!?
Need I first must boat to Hades to consult the blind Theban? seeing Mathematical Man under the sun no longer vouches for the truth of his figures!The body which oversaw the treachery, Judas Chebukati's IEBC, has since suffered an internal implosion and external paralysis. That isn't instant KARMA, that is improvised tools being disbanded after use, like a mercenary unit being demobilised after delivery of service. Institutions like the above IEBC, or the anti corruption EACC, cannot be allowed institutional continuity. Such would hold in the risk of increased entrenchment, of possible competence and thus independence. This negation of forward thrust is the bandit philosophy of a looters (and riggers) controlled paradise like the republic of Kenya, handshake or no handshake. The powers that be are best served by the dysfunction of key state institutions which, accountability revisited, arbitrate their relations with the people. We (as a people worst served by their leaders thus) continue the search for a definition of integrity operationalised in the constitution in line with upright cultural norms we have a self-explanatory knowledge of. --That Ouru and Raila pretend to have out-sourced this ---national morality and ethics---- problematic to former Spyman Kimani and Lawyer Mwangi, the handshake realisation technicians, is another milestone in self-deception and short-sighted political chicanery by a moribund aristocracy. Kick the can down the street some more. While the president hasn't gotten into his second term yet ---the all important handshake is still an obscurity; and while H.E is busy holding a LEGACY narrative called the Big Four, all politics is on succession gear, the next election, 2022. Governors, Mpigs, Senators, MCA's will be massively replaced. There seems to be a national consensus on TWO TERMS. Two terms at the trough enjoying the proceeds of looting, then pass over the button, wengine wachote! The positions are so lucrative, the competition so fierce, that 2022 is still nominally far-off, but the ground is already fully charged with its opportunities. People are campaigning as if 2022 is tomorrow! Early birds know the score. That is the reality on the ground. And the top seat, The Presidency, and in is wake the Nairobi governorship, are arousing even more fierce skulduggery. The ambitions of men, the games of power for the futures of a country, like time and tide which wait for no -King or Lowborn---- man, do not much notice the whims of a lame duck thrashing in the waters; nor do they bother with a living-dead head of state passing under the bridge, setting like the twilight sun. So we are in a transition. And that is a power vacuum. Looters are maximising their opportunities. The repetitive barkings by the caretaker president against corruption in the state have no bite. Eyes are strategically looking further a-field. Players are hedging bets: what are the risks of opposing the rise of Ruto to his dreamed destiny!? Could these be as inconsequential as cutting off Raila from the same has been? Uhuru Kenyatta himself is unsure. His court and handlers are dithering between betraying Ruto and playing Raila. That indecision feeds the vacuum even more. Well, he has been forced to distance himself from the talk of a referendum, seen as Raila's not so secret rat in a hat. The ocassion is important to note. Follow the money, and money is legacy. It is important to be clear headed about money interests. And that is all the agenda those who still have use for Ouru as president are busy counting. As far as Wanjiku's interests go, and the future of the land begs, the only best contribution he can offer is to disappear silently into the twilight. He is been long at the top of government, nothing he can do now that he hasn't done. GCG computer errors man! Coincidentally then (for those of you with memory) Ouru was paired with Oburu Odinga, Raila's brother. It is hard selling me recycled garbage for new stuff, dam-n! Africa did panel beat illusions off my mind at a young age: the African politician, not even a parrot bothers to memorise his words, let alone repeat. Chineke the bird taught! And I aint seen an alternative thesis! Continued. |

THE GAMES LIFE PLAYS ON A PEOPLE
President Uhuru Kenyatta's 8% VAT proposal on fuel passed in Parliament 20-09-18
WHAT REALLY HAPPENENED live?
You have heard tell of these games, especially about the immediate economic future of debt-rigged or ridden regime. But our is the icing on the cake. Consider when the redress of that future depends on the deliberations of a crowd we call Mpigs. And we collectively remember, only yesterday, the caucus of the Mpigs at large in their untidy sty called parliament, took bribes as low as 10K to quash a report on mercurised consumables, in this case sugar. The joke is then that, those who would condemn our kids to ingesting cancer, are the same ones we purport to entrust with our deliverance from economic ruin.
There is a way that is funny. A pack of wolves do ever heard sheep to where we know.
But of course there are other variables in the game, namely China and the IMF.
But today in the LEGICO, the facts were again laid bare. There is something rotten in that house. Plans to cleanse must condense.
Did Duale organise a rigging or not!?
Ouru will flee Kenya tomorrow!?
feeling hot hot hot hot!

PRESIDENT QUICK STEP!
but where did I see that springy move before?
Quicker than the fleet-footed son of Peleus whose repute of that fleetness is quicker than the breath of a windstorm, no sooner had the crooked speaker of the crooked parliament given their crooked AYES HAVE IT, than His Excellency the son of Jomo put his John Hancox to the Finance Bill 2018!
This light-speed dazzle of the normally lumbering-gaited Jomoson, is pregnant with deep stuff. And importantly too, it is a choreography of panic. So many Big Frogs jumping up an down in broad daylight --- hysterically croaking 8% VAT good, 16% BAD, there is some menacing boa flicking feelers in the neighbourhood.
Uhuru Kenyatta, Raila Odinga and William Ruto, the Grand Big Three, are all pretending there was no rigging of the vote in parliament last week! What they saw was a clean win, a victory for the peoples will!
Yeah!
Do you know the story of the three blind men who all touched the same part of a certain animal!? They were all right of course, just that they missed the big picture!
The big picture is not rigging!
Rigging is a constant feature in Kenyan elections! Staples can't be a surprise, even to the blind! The reprsentatives in this episode are, apart from the official title of honourable members, known much more honeslty as Mpigs. This cultural depiction is to underscore their moral decrepitude. Kenyans understand Parliament is a farce. But of late, it has been below sick: think of the adventures of the mercury sugar report last month.
THE BIG PICTURE
The Big Picture is, with or without a Handshake, national level is the politics of bankruptcy. One of the supposed agenda points of NATIONAL ## RENEWAL charged to the Handshake secretariat, is ETHICS AND INTEGRITY in public office ---not private ### bedrooms! And, Behold Lord! here are Ouru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga, the architects of that Handshake pledge, faced with their first political test on the economy, collapsing back into straightforward unethical behaviour!
For in a high-level, high stakes game of chicanery, they prompted their parliamentary whipdogs, Mbadi-J and Duale-A, to behave like --was it Amos Wako that day? back in 1982.
DE FACTO TO DE JURE?
I forget some details; but I know this: It was June 1982. A few weeks earlier, Jaramogi Ajuma and former detainee, Kitutu Masaba George Anyona, had teamed to make a daring announcement: plans were afoot to form an opposition party, KASA, Kenya African Socialist Alliance. ###(Huh!? Martin Ngatia and Okoth Osewe historical linkages!?).
Well what followed was a constitutional amendment at the speed of light! Kenya moved from a de facto one- party state to DE JURE one-party. All in a few seconds in the National Assembly! --What I forget is whether it was Wako or Mutula Kilonzo who drafted the jurisprudential trick-stuff or Judas motion!
Sometimes, O fellow citizens, I do really desperately try to be positive about new developments. Then I remember Kenya has been there before, and taken for a huge ride, correspondingly bumpy! So Kenyan politicians can do me nothing in terms of surprises, promises!
What was the vote count on that day, June 1982, when Kenya became ----by law and act of parliament----- a one party state under Daniel Arap Moi!? Anyway soon Raila Odinga was in prison and his father pleading for his neck! Good move, Moi hanged the rest but saved Raila's neck, since barely a decade later, Raila would save Moi's arse, and come the Handshake today, Agwambo is still at it.
But don't talk ethics please! My ribs are already too cracked! And some laughters are hysterics!

I WANT MY LEGACY, GIVE IT TO ME MATIANG'I!
There are these rich and spoilt types who grew up spoon-fed. Every mess they were ever in, Big Daddy found some menial to clean it up for them. Even in school their homework is always done by some other hired brain. With money there is no problem finding mercenaries and cynical operators: 'ever at your service sr. Anything you pay for, sir, ever your missus we do for you.'
Never joke with the true heart of a sycophant. And in power, there is no shortage of game. Their obedience could just be the cover over a seething contempt. Lift the manhole lid, and below is a river of sh!t. I long for the days of Abunuwasi, official role, court's fool. Real role, ejecting commons sense into the deluded decisions typical of powerful men.
Now, in the throes of his latest blues, legacy blues, the son of Jomo has found it necessary to surrender his fate in the history books to another. That other is the best money can buy in the current cabinet, so to speak because once the first among equals was Anne Waiguru. Muigai wa Kenyatta has the prerogative of exchanging them hard-workers to problem-solvers. So, 'do my homework; solve my legacy issues, Matiang'i.'
It is as good as any Quixotic move, making Matiang'i the president even as we struggle to find an auspice for him: chief minister, prime minister, executive prime minister? Assistant president (not to be confused with the deputy president)? Chief of staff?
Anyway, I stick to prime minister.
THE MYSTERY OF THE REPETITIVE WARNINGS
Freddo's first act as assistant president was, yes, a WARNING!
Fred Matiang'i chaired his first full attendance cabinet this week. The Tv stations rubbed it in. The ministers were pictured as boys on an early morning jittery jog, summoned by a very strict classmaster. None dared miss, and if away, a doctor's letter was already handed in at dawn. The reported mutiny which had seen Matiang'i earlier on chair only a quarter cabinet, was nowhere to be seen. That mutiny had incensed President Muigai into a roadside outburst and an oral directive. --You work with Matiang'i or you quit! He fumed at his recalcitrant orderlies who are reportedly not amused.
(it is a hall mark of the rot in the cabinet that none dare say: 'reporting on corruption to this man whose name is not clear on the Ruaraka land scam!? Not me!' -They saw the way Mr. Fixit dealt with Miguna Miguna and their cabinet balls crawled upwise.
How many warnings has the son of Jomo hurled at his cabinet in the last 5 years?
Here is April 4 2018
And then there is Mwangi Kiunjuri, the much-troubled man of Agriculture. He received a public tongue-lashing in his native Gikuyu! My Gikuyu translators told me Kiunjuri was warned off pinching the bottoms of ladies whose gaits had locked the presidential roving eye!
But, better late than never, Don Quixote has finally woken up to this LEGACY THING. And he doesn't trust himself nor the once ever-faithful Pancha. No, the shining knight is Dr. Fred M.
NB: My instincts tell me Dr. Fred got off to a bad start. It was the day the NURSES went on strike. It may be devolution blues, the afterbath or placenta still stuck in the womb, a county's problem, but public health care remains a NATIONAL CRISIS.
But that didn't register in the agenda of the new Prime Minister. He had more important thing to mind, like legacy agendas! -Fool that he be!
Public Health service in Kenya, needs a Mr. Fixit more than Ouru's legacy. Common sense injected.
NB: Professor Anyang' Nyong'o used to be minister of Health. He left it a mess. He can afford a sojourn in the USA for surgery. The other day he collapsed in Kisumu, he was evacuated to Nairobi!
Kisumu where he is governor, is, healthwise by his standards, pre Florence Nightingale!
Omera! Wherever you look, the best of the land in politics dig deeper the hole to burry the people!
Yuom megeu olil be ndi!
There is this irrigation scheme whose name I forget too.
But there is trouble

MY LEGACY AND RUTO'S LONDON VISIT
This legacy thing, it is said, is like the biological need to procreate. Living things have an intrinsic desire to propagate genes, whereupon they are destined to find and accept mates and vectors to do so. The most anyway. The continuation of the species is actually the only biological rationale for living. On the social side, the construct of power too, has an inherent, usually overpowering drive to establish legacy. At least most rulers in history are siezed of this obsession to be remembered for something tangible. One of the most spectacularly illustrations of this will be found in Old Egypt. Many a Pharaoh taxed himself more with eternal fame by massive structures, than by mundane stuff like feeding all the hungry bellies in the great, hungry Kingdom.
There's is no dam the whole pharaonic period built across the Nile to match the tiniest pyramid the weakest did.
Rome, they joked, was once so full of statues of divine emperors pedestrians couldn't see the next person!
There is therefore everything healthy in the son of Jomo sulking about his place in Kenya's history, post humus. It is positive of him to identify a vector, capo Matiang'i, and weaponise him, if Quixote is convinced the game with Pancha is up. There is the terrible example of Jimmy Carter of the United States. After serving one dismal term, contemptuously terminated by Ronald Reagan, Carter would spend the rest of his still healthy life looking for something meaningful to spend his time on. For a reputedly clever man like Jimmy, the universal verdict his presidency was a historical zero was too painful to live with. He needed another legacy.
So Ouru must have his legacy, we understand. At least make an effort at it. Otherwise with time, his presidency will disappear into his fathers. Assimilated as incapable of standing on its own historical feet, ie too mediocre to be remembered separately.
As I said: better late than never. If Muigai spent his first term in empty shine as the president, opening fictitious development projects specifically designed to loot the state, good now some common sense caught up with him, unfortunately in his lame duck stretch. But as we say in the environs of the Kavirondo, ang'e ok tel. (even with the best peer instruments, the future remains dark!) ---How could he have known the tyranny of numbers was a ticket to illigitimacy via rigged elections, and finally a humiliating impotence as a rogue Raila was sworn in as the people's president!?
But there is no time for tears now. What can serve best is the old broom: arbeit! arbeit! arbeit!
My opinion is, if Ouru Kenyatta wants his legacy, then what he should do is WORK FOR IT. He should not just delegate it to Matiang'i, like, like I said, some lazy-assed spoilt brat of legend who, even for marriage, had to rely on his mother to find, undress and train the spouse to stiffen his member for him!
He should stop gallivanting around the globe but sit at home. He should burn the midnight oil together with Matiang'i as co-pilot; the tedious business of detail. Doing it yourself for a change!
ARBEIT! That is work! Some will remember how William Ruto took Ouru Kenyatta by the collar and set both of them to work, to rise to the presidency. Ouru had all but mentally collapsed under the duress exerted by the Mwai Kibaki clique who did not believe (1) another Kikuyu could succeed Kibaki, and (2) ICC indictees could be anything but international pariah's.
William Ruto was not impressed. He slapped Ouru Kenyatta to his senses, convinced him the Kibaki choices for succession like Kalonzo and Mudavadi were horse manure, and they could do it. That was when in a workaholic tempo, the dynamic duo crissed-crossed the land at width and length, gobbling incredible mileage per day, putting up a punishing rally schedule while firing their base for rebellion against the, wait for it, an ICC-Raila-Odinga-ODM-inspired international plot to block them from their fate, innocent as they were!
Daily on the endless campaign trail with William Ruto, Ouru visibly lost weight, some say quit drink and visited gyms; and in deed for a time he was no longer the lumbering-gaited tropical hog African politicians, bar the ascetic Kagame the Paul, tend to be.
That workaholic Uhuru is the persona I want now. I don't want this apparition issuing useless warnings. I don't want this shell of a prezzo, already confined to the political Hades (ie the pre-cemetery of the living dead heads of state, also known as lame duckies). I don't want a ghost president, a caricature of live power, haunting the high office of Kenya. I want the real thing at work.
If power has passed to Matiang'i, let Matiang'i get to work and lets forget the son of Jomo. He can retire to his favourites of golf, bottles and chomachoma; and be quarantined from further making a mess of the office, and a nuisance of himself in public. --But of course, Handshake man that he is, and we are a bit relaxed these days ever since that deal, he can be wheeled out occasionally to be ritually saluted like a ceremonial head of state, ie some old King removed from the centre of power, but fondly remembered some.
Kenya is restive. She needs workers at the top. This is no time for pretenders.
Here is a tough nut for workers at the top to crack
HOW IMPORTANT IS PUBLIC HEALTH IN ANY SOCIETY? Serious or suicidal
Fast forward THE VACUUM
Come! O Lord of China
Come annex the Kenyan Health care too
Come modernise it to Deng Ping standards
Come! O Lord of China!
Come secure Ouru his legacy and
Take the Turkana Oil fields as collateral!
NB: Ouru Kenyatta alale salama. We have moved to Matiang'i versus Ruto. The thriller now showing at Nairobi Cinemas.
One was in London haltingly fielding questions at Chatam House, one was in Nairobi wielding the stick on an unruly class of cab-secs!

LEGACY FOOTNOTES. CASE STUDY It is a swindle, but that is not really the point, nor the news.
here is a clue Read: BECHTEL to construct the 6-way carriage highway between Mombasa and Nairobi, and the funding.
Read: who gave the concession to fund the Rift Valley dams where an Italian company was pitche? Yes you guessed where funds came from But, have you been following CORRUPTION CASES in ITALY, the USA and Israel!?
If you have been, then you catch!
It is a global robbery syndicate! Italians can't even run a garbage collecting service in Rome, let alone build a dam in Africa! So Nothern Italy, Lombardia, wants out of the Italian union of corruption, divorce. And in Israel, Netanyahu needs a lot of money to finance his re-elections and keep himself in power, and out of jail!
It is dangerous and stupid for us to leave our Power and, FOOD SECURITY PROJECTS to the whims of seasoned global looters, ruining their countries too!
Ouru Kenyatta is playing games, but which ones? Kenya's legacy in mind, or his pocket and family fortunes he minds?
The man is bankrupting Kenya giving out billions freebies but which Kenyans will sweat for!
hint A deep legacy deficit!

LAME DUCKS AND BROKEN-WINGED BIRDS
It is funny, until you fathom the dark depths of this reality. It is now open bar-talk, that the generally accepted president of Kenya, His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta, has effectively been curtailed from showing off his HANDSHAKE BROTHER, the Peoples' Amollo Tinga, around his Kingdom of Mount Kenya. No, even in his royal hometurf of Kiambu where the Tangatanga kingpin, Baba Yao Waititu, holds sway, the Muthamaki Kamwana is persona non grata with his Handshake sidekicks!
It must have been quite a kick to the balls of the official commander in chief, when the intelligence services told him he can't go to Kiambu with Raila! And the manipulative service heads must have been pressed to maintain their poker faces, seeing the president shrink back into his shell like a tortoise.
Come to think of it. On the face of it, The leading handshake lights and political forces in the land, have been quarantined off the voter-rich MK by the political machinery revving to DP Ruto's ignition!
And the handshake duo have been found wanting in the courage to brave it. Some bluffs just must be called! otherwise one is just a laughting stock, divine he be!
Of course there is more behind the scenes than we know, but it is not for nothing propaganda, or PR as we say nowadays, is the biggest expenditure post in modern political machinery. And when word is out the president is too scared to visit his birthplace to explain himself on a key issue, then it is a wipe out for the opposition. In this this case, that is DP Ruto. Remember this (Hustler) is the man who, according to the now disgraced Ipsos-Synovate pollster, Wolf, is perceived by Kenyans to be the most corrupt politician (ever!?). And the handshake's big rationale, is the all popular fight against graft! So officially we can say the King of Graft is making short work of Muthamaki Kamwana, right in his own backyard.
How come!?
That is dark. It means, there is another game on. There is a lot of dust in motion, filling the air and clogging vision. It will settle in a while, and we will see the truth left standing, rock solid.
May be in Kikuyuland, they know for truth the Kenyatta family grabbed so much land which should have settled the Mau Mau's, it is a hilarious joke for a young Kenyatta, the beneficiary thereof, to point fingers at Ruto for thief, before a KENYATTA MEA CULPA before the Gikuyu landless!
Deep and dark, these things! He he!

O O O O! It is hot at the top! And it is wild! If there is any truth in this Kamanda claim, there is no reason why another challenge can not be mounted. What has Ruto got to loose!? the odds against him are piling. He is the personfication of the thieving Kenyan politician, and knives are being sharpened for the kill. The likes of Kidero and Swazuri are cheap game. Them being guests of the state serves just as appetizers, whetting the appetite for the main course. The Big game!  |

OURU DOWN AND COUNTED OUT
Our two beggars in chief came empty handed from china on the SGR to Kisumu slot. KONZA and other stuff passed through. Nzioka and Dena spun the SGR wasn't on the begging cards during this last trip.
But where has he been after the last sighting at Dubai, huddled with his brother? Well, the whole chattering classes poked State House until Kanze Dena had to respond. She did, more stupid than unconvincing. Ouru is working his head off. He is reporting punctually to his desk, and ritually leaving late. And in between he meditates on whatever.
She forgets Ouru has history with the country.
His work ethic and trackrecord are open. A kind of old dog with all tricks known. Ouru was once official opposition leader, minister of finance, co-VP (with Mudavadi I think it was), and first-time president. Well!
He never worked a single day, did he!? He is most famous for some terrifying errors with budgetary figures. When men head treasuries which register such errors, you know they are CEO's who never heard a thing called work. When you have a work ethic, you get your sums right. It is that simple.
But now, we hear from spin ladies, that, better late than never, our lame duck has discovered his quack, calling and is busy docking, no ducking. The spokes people promise us the efforts of his new work ethic will soon burst upon us and awe us to shame.
I say that is bollocks! No old dog is gonna be springing new tricks on Wanjiku.
His Excellency is easily paralysed mentally as he has been all his political life. Yeah, even to be president, it is Ruto's back he rode on. He didn't make himself. Nor the fortune whose flagpost he is. But importantly now, after allegedly escaping an impeachment plot by his deputy, the son of Jomo has allowed his presidency to be reduced to nothing but a graft-ridden project to derail the career of one, William Ruto. Dena and Nzioka can try any amount of spin, but Ouru is a slow puncture at its end. And his presidency is an engine knocked flat.
What can he do? He can resign. The explanations out there why Ruto's Murang'a rally was banned are bad and beyond spin. One of them is over 120 Mpigs were pledged to attend; nearly half the governors of Kenya, and a host of retired national politicians and military personnel.
At the end of such an event in Mount Kenya in the absence of the Muthamaki, the message would be loud and clear. Ruto is not the coming man, he has arrived. Ouru go home.
May be all or one of these trio, Kenza, Nzioka and Ouru is drafting his resignation letter. Now that, can be very hard work.

YES, RAIS IS RUNNING SCARED
Pressures continue to tell.
The toll they are taking on his weak constitution and feeble personality is all evident. The latest extravagance at hysterics was yesterday's show at the Akorino event. There, seized of fits as if the 'roho or spirit' of inland churches had entered him, His Excellency all but suffered a public emotional meltdown!
He spoke in tongues! very sharp tongues!
Now, for former president [b Mwai Kibaki,[/b] I know from insider sources he had choice ---and I mean obscene--- vocabulary in Gikuyu. This was a throw back to his cultural, countryside upbringing as a sometimes goatherd. I was impressed Don Emilio regularly denounced some bureaucrats for leaky 'cants' of red goats that didn't mate! Njugunah Ndung'u (CBK) was one of those pus-filled brains according to the Othayan! The professor didn't believe Kenya should look, let alone go East! (And yet looking East, Kibaki had recognised, would be the centrepiece of his economic policy of revival! Kibaki's insults had dangerous depths of meaning as you can see!)
Poor Ouru Kenyatta of course grew up in a golden cage, state house, wherefore his repertoire of Gikuyu insults are very restricted. (it is the customary boy and uncircumcised, kerher put-down. An anti-Luo sh!t, really!)
Well
It is no secret. Ouru Kenyatta is quarantined from Mount Kenya. Persona non grata. Should he venture there with his brother Raila, the duo will confront a fate far worse than women rep Sabina Chege in her native Murang'a. Memories are fresh from last weekend, when, having switched sides, she went on a handshake promo-tour. Howbeit Sabina Chege ran into a TANGATANGA AMBUSH.
It was a bull's eye shot.
Hot were the tears that fled her eyes, piteous was the sight as they rolled down her cheeks. Run-away balls, all offside. She was tormented with visions of her political career mutating into a corpse right before her very eyes. Prematurely.
Tangatanga learnt valuable lessons and will upgrade their defiance as they get thinner on the ground due to hardball tactics behind the scenes from the state.
But it will only take one lucky session of PUBLIIC and COLLECTIVE heckling in Mount Kenya, for the message to hit home. The message that Ouru is finished. That the Muthamaki has lost the love of the people, and with it, his --heavenly ha ha----mandate. Were Tangatanga to achieve that, quickly the political playing field would adjust to the obvious reality: politically the president is not a lame but a dead duck. But there is need for the death certificate of the duck to be signed, by a vet! William Ruto may shoot the duck dead, but he is not a vet.
And so the lame duck fighting against its death addressed the nation and his hommies, in his mothertongue, Gikuyu.
The Akorino notables looked a somewhat perplexed.
No need, this was a Mount Kenya affair. The battle for hearts and minds there, is at fever pitch. And some are loosing it.

THE PUSH BACK, AND COUNTERPUNCHFIRST, the big cat bared claws. The would-be rats just had a laugh! ---Oh Look, there goes the joker again! Two: t designated alpha gorilla pumped its chest and bellowed the top dog's bark. The would-be b!tches responded with mocking grins, and yet others with bursts of ridicule ---when is the last time it rose to the occasion? It is tough being a fake toughie. It is, as I said here, QUIXOTIC! When His Excellency Ouru Kenyatta first issued this silly directive of NO POLITICS, DEVELOPMENT ONLY to politicians, the flashlights of déjà vu blared full, somewhere in my subconscious. Something I had to remember. Took me sometime but I finally did. Long ago, it was a response by Otieno Gerald Kajwang' to a sort of similar order. Otieno Nyakwamba Rwadh KanyamNyam was categorically dismissive, derisive and unstoppable. Not only did he belittle much, the empty-headedness of the command, he mockingly thumbed through the pages of the constitution as he boasted the quality of his lawyer's degree, and returned a null and void reading --MAGO THUOL MOTHO KIK BWOG NYAR WEGI! (dead snakes don't bite!) OK: 'I am a politician 27/7 forever. Even when I fart, it is politics. He who thinks politicians shouldn't talk politics whenever they open their mouths, must go back to the days of KANU DETENTIONS without trial. I will beat politics anywhere anytime! So I fart big on that ban!'And with his customary fly whisk he distributed an imaginary or real hiss of stench from his rears! So when Ouru Kenyatta went the KANU TEMPLATE soon after his handshake, deja vu I prepared for comedy. But worse, given that everything he would be doing would be passed through the ANTI-RUTO prism, I reckoned the president was heading into the storm winds, for Ruto's ambition isn't the stuff of comedy. It is real, tenacious, ruthless and formidable. It has floored Arap Moi, fair and square, and floored Agwambo twice at the threshold of the presidency, by hook or crook.Then the very selfsame man who was made (President) by Ruto's singular drive, turns around with a Judas' grin and bans Ruto from talking politics across and throughout the land at large!? That is asking for it! Uhuru and Raila Odinga are openly ganged up against Ruto; Ruto can't sit still and watch himself being skinned alive. He gotta fight back, he gotta run to the people, daily like mad to make his case. To mobilise a counter-attack. To engage sympathy to cut down the arrogant aristocrats with their entitlement to lordships! He gotta have a narrative to peddle door to door, or he is history!And he has no intentions of being a footnote that easy! It is that simple. The battlefield allows not for romantic nonsense. Power games, and raw greed, have killed the once identical twins like Uhuruto bromance.  Only propaganda is left, most of it sh!tloads and having no bearing on reality anyway. And so there wa an amazing show 17-06-19 featuring the Mpigs OSCAR SUDI, DIDMUS BARAZA and Kimani Ngunjiri of Bahati, Nakuru. 5 March DIMUS BARAZA: If you, Ouru Kenyatta, agree with Raila Odinga the government is infested and inundated with corruption, then dissolve parliament and call new elections. You have been in power and responsible for that corruption. Otherwise shut up, finish your term and hand over to Ruto as agreed originally!I noticed Neither Waita Nzioka nor Kenza Dena have ever touched that grenade! No, no way! That tongue of Baraza: here he is telling Raila with a mock: why is this handshake not bringing back Miguna? 17-06-2019 17-june-2019. THE DAY AFTER And so The Handshakes hand has been forced, to tangatanga on their own behalf  it is the tangatangaring' season, pick your team. The campaigns are on, and it will be bare knuckles! "NIÎ NDIRÎ KÎHÎ KÎA MÛNDŪ"! But he can't sack the corruption-compromised Rotich nor Cicily, can he!? silly bully! Picked on hapless Echesa!

OF OUR DEAD CABINET IN NAIROBI
The cabinet no longer meets in quorum you know. The running joke is ... Ruto with his wing apart, Matiang'i with his wing apart, each faction in some basement of some Nairobi hotel, with a frantic and divided intelligence service trying to keep up planting surveillance and recording equipment!
It is a cabinet collapse.
SOLVING AN EYESORE
Our Kilimanjaro of an eyesore named KACHOK, was beyond a deity with the nom de guerre, Jack Ranguma. Amongst us was a man who read African letters. He deciphered us our fate thus: 'Ranungo's people, they can't and wont sweep their own lawns; people, how can they hygienise Kisumu at large?'
Our man of letters thereafter wound his nose at us; it was a gesture which didn't bother dare us to a disputation. In deed, we were cowed and shiftily showed obeisance to his intimidating senses: 'gigi yughi, ere kaka yughi dang' kwanyre kendgi, kendo dhi pukre kendgi?'
Okay, this was a sensible point: a cabinet full of thieves could not fight graft, not in a million years. On the contrary, a cabinet of graft was proof the nodes and tentacles of the cartel had punctured the defences and embedded at the very vitals of public administration. It became a waiting game for the saviour of the situation, may be a deity masked as Anyang' Nyong'o.
We betted how long it would take His Highness, the Emeritus deity Anyang', to banish the KACHOK DUMPSITE to a distant memory. The great professor did come in deed, but spending more time in hospital beds than his work desk, the verdict became a mocking Ranguma II. More a change in style than substance. Anyang' Nyong'o wasn't incompetent, he was just absent, or present but on sick leave, but the result was the vacuum became filled with incompetence, inertia and old school recidivism. Kisumu has a long history of parasitic and corrupted administrations. In fact Kisumu's modern rise was as a colonial administration centre. Only in part does it fulfil her original mandate: EXCHANGE MARKET. For Kisumu's true meaning is MARKET PLACE. --Kar-Kisuma.
That is why some of us advance a cultural and economic argument to move political adminstration from Kisumu. So that she can revert to her historical mission: that is the 'who-re' of Lake Victoria so punned. You know, like neither New York nor Shanghai, economic power houses, are the political capitals of their countries. Politicians tend to get in the way of business. For that reason Nairobi too should divorce public adminstration from herself, remain a CAPIAL city and banish the parasitic politicians and parliament back to Machakos, their original seat! Nairobi commerce can then dedicate herself to money, and managing the East and Central Africa economic zone, including Somalia and Ethiopia. The city can't do that with things like Ouru, Ruto and Raila and their surrugates in fiefdomage.
Imagine the kind of things we now hear the goats wanted Bob Collymore of Safaricom to do!
More about these later.
Our man of letters insisted we understand the local first, to understand the distant. That is 2018.
But earlier on, in 2013 Memory is a dangerous thing. That is why colonialism must destroy the culture of her subjects or, failing that, hijack and infesst it with its own codes of and norms like a virus does the process of protein synthesis in a cell.
The local we understood well.
If you are from Kerio Valley, see your phantom dam. and marvel.
And so today, with the Mount Kenya half of the 50/50 Jubilee cabinet arrangement accused of plotting the murder of their in-coming Kalenjin boss, the Hustler Deity, I remember our man of letters on the expired regime of Jack Ranungo Nyangumo, over Kisumu county: a cabinet of thieves will do what thieves do best. A band of pirates will do what pirates do best. And our ODM is the organisation of the bandit bourgeoisie.
Koro nyathi thuol nyaka bed abeda thuol.
Our man of tables, say the specialist in statistics and probabilities, was tasked to develop an index, say a corruption scale against which every minister could be scored. He just shrugged and informed if there would be objections if his methodology mirrored or was a variation of the well known International Transparency Index. That index has a habit of confining African giants like Nigeria and Kenya to the worst performances.
The prediction by our man of tables was Uhuru's cabinet would be a lurch into cannibalism.
THE MURDER PLOT AGAINST RUTO
But murder of Ruto didn't feature. The model did not predict it. Too risky, too adventurous stupid. The model only instructed The Hustler King would loot to his best while in the background, letting Ouru carry the blame as the final, responsible authority. ---But, howebeit, the surprises of life, the remains of the once great bromance, Uhuruto, is now not just a super cabinet of graft lords, but murder plotters within the believers in the tyranny of numbers.
An enfant terribles called Dennis Itumbi was waving CD-ROM copies in court, (not USB nor SD memory sticks mark you!), daring the Judge to air them in public. But the Judge was too scared --or too compromised----- to be interested in Truthology. The court didn't call Itumbi's bluff! Let us hope Itumbi&Co made more copies, since the copy he flashed in court would easily be confiscated behind the scenes, and the would-be incriminating evidence, erased, and lost forever.
How did it come to that? Uhuru Kenyatta's handpicks plotting his running mate's murder?
1. Kenya is no stranger to political murders, neither is the world of succession battles. There is therefore no shock here, there is only need to understand WHY. And if it is all a hoax, a huge wolf cry, also why.
Well, ur man of the oracular letters, long ago (when the issue of Madam-R and the Kachok Eyesore was hot) advised us to unravel the local Jack, Ranungo Ranguma, to therefrom understand distant Nairobi (where the Uhuruto monster was holding nest and hatching Mega scandals). -------This is the category: if you understand your marriage, then whenever you see newly weds vow it is for till death do them part, as in Uhuru kumi, Ruto kumi, Jubilee 100, or KANU forever years, yours is to slyly interrogate the school of marital affairs they went to, which is so heavenly. Of course sometimes they do live happily forever after, but it is a give and take which requires an empathy and patience beyond political practice in a material world.
Ouru Kenyatta may be the richest man in Kenya, and even the Commander in Chief of whatever, all these being stuff which theoretically confers upon him imperial powers; but ALAS, a looting cartel knows when to stop flagging a dead horse. So, me says, there is a hardball, hardnosed hunt for a successor, possibly to be in place even before 2022.
Ouru's regime is now essentially a ghost ship. The only reason Ouru is still president is because the succession issue has not been settled. He is like a dead mother carrying a live baby. Surgeons at work, and fleet-handed they better be. (So that the UHUR part dies, the UTO remains!) damaged but alive.
POST MORTERM
Only one detail still bothers me about the now sunken Uhuru presidency. Did Ouru at any one time take himself seriously as president and CiC, or was he, as Pu Yi, the last emperor of China, resigned to his fate of always being the puppet in a historical show?

Such a wasted life, is the tragedy of a majesty keeping up powerful appearances, yet in reality is controlled by circumstances beyond His Highness. There have been many situations in history where the King is essentially a figurehead, a use-tool under the boot of others who usurped superiority over his throne.
We have of course witnessed several flares of temper in the man, The Muthamaki Kajomo, and loud did we muse: there!
See the puppet test the chains!
Behold the inklings of a rebellion?
Today the incredible Hulk emerges?
ALAs, no sooner did the seethe of tantrum ripple the surface than the slave coiled back to its golden cage, docile and surrendered. The looting of Kenya continued unabated. Scandal after scandal rolled out of the books of state. Poisoned sugar was even imported and fed Kenyans, just to spite President Ouru, that his oath to protect Kenyan lives wasn't his call.
Very sad.
PU-YI
NB: I write this with this situation in mind. The last Qing dynast. Later during his re-education to find his true self, former emperor PU Yi is interrogated by his new red keeper: 'did you not know the papers you signed gave the Japanese express rights to conduct medical experiments on Chinese citizens, your purported subjects!?'
Quick Jig: 'Mr. Kenyatta, did Matiang'i not tell you the imported sugar was mercury laced and would, cancer aside, genetically mutate Kenyans, whose due Muthamaki you purportedly were!?'
A bemused Pu Yi grins at the interrogator: 'You really think I read that sh!t? Ever since I was a kid I grew into signing sh!t I never read. My whole life was a formality, routine and protocol. Like now you red sh!ts are holding me prisoner!'
Quick Jig: Ouru goes like: 'My hands were tied. They always were. What could I do!? It was all in Parliament's hands!'
Well, just thinking aloud. Recently there was another surge of seethe to the surface. Ouru Kenyatta breathed fire in his native Gikuyu. He appears to have been stung that some quarters treat him like a certified coward. He would show them, Crush them.
The adorable Kanze Dena told us the president had reached his elastic limit. But wapi? The national priority for crushing has been corruption, both by fact and public sentiment, And that, we can now conclude after his first and now second term, is dry meat which His Excellency's nyamachomping jaws cannot handle.
And yes, his cabinet is as good as collapsed. Neither can he dissolve it and constitute a new. No, he has no such powers. His hands are ... you know.
Which is what we call a dead presidency. But who knows, puppet masters behind the scenes may still have a secret string. To pull in a crisis.
