KENYA AIRWAYS IN THE EYE OF THE STORM! Who has stolen more than who!? in the Uhuruto complex! More skeletons to tumble out of the cupboard! --Kimeumana! OSCAR SUDI EXPOSES DCI KINOTI and DECODES RAILA'S HANDSHAKE! Is Kinoti aspiring to be the a KIVUITU!? KENYA AIRFORCE AND NYS TAKE OVER GROUND CREW JOBS AT JKIA TO BREAK STRIKEForget the devolution conference in Kirinyaga ---that is a condoms expenditure bonanza. The real action is in labour contracts, and company take-overs! WHO OWNS KQ, that now is poised by default to OWN JKIA!? --and is cabinet secretary for transport, Macharia, cast in the role of Rotich, a frontman for a famous rip-off!? The real war, is not on corruption, it is on Kenyan labour! And there, the Maraga's judciary is Crack in banning strikes and terrorising union leaders. That anti-labour political economy of a state judiciary, is a test-tube case of a certain regime characteristic! I loved the innocence of Macharia (cab sec transport) in his dismissal of the strike. He is wholy unaware of the political economy of a near-bankrupt local subsidiary of an international airline taking over the local airport! Neither is he aware of the implications of the recent meeting between the Prime Minister of the Netherlands and President of France, after a near death of the KLM-AIR-FRANCE PARTNERSHIP! Aviation news reports the dutch government secretly bought a 14% share in the partnership to strengthen their bargaining portfolio, after it emerged the French were out to kill Amsterdam Airport in a cost-cutting operation which would see 'business' shifted to Charles De Gaulle. ---But Macharia is of course a Nyapara in the auxiliary role of predatory capitalism. Not that he would know it! Innocent kid! Should we we wake him up to the big bad ways of the big world, or should we let him enjoy his innocent slumber? ATWOLI'S TAKE

MV KENYA GOES GREEK TRAGEDY AS THE CAPTAIN WHINES On a passing note, the joke goes, on several Greek islands, there were more bureaucrats than citizens. That would be something like, to deliver service to Nairobians, Nairobi city council would employ more people than live in Nairobi. Yeah. In Greece there were many instances of schools with more teachers than students, and, a freak statistic, systematically more nurses than patients in hospital, yet, from the health insurance bill, Greeks had never been sicker! Yes, a phobia for hospitals, but a mania for filling forms. A humourless inspection team from Germany were horrified at what their Keynesian model underpinning the EEC had mutated into, down south. The Germans contributed the lion's share to the project, there was pressure at home to audit the 'Adam Smithsonian' kindness. One of the Papandreaus' explained: 'institutionally more teachers than students? That is how it came to pass Greece laid the basis for Western civilisation; everybody so clever until there was hardly any to teach!' And replied the stunned Northerners: 'no doubt why Greece has been bankrupt for a millennia.' The British tabloid press had a field day: this was a siesta-zone lost to a laziness only paralleled on the other side of the Mediterranean and sub Sahara. The height of absurdity was the flagpost metro project for Athens was, farewise, projected to be more expensive than a taxi per km! ----No, that is not a sneer at the real cost of the SGR, the may-be new Lunatic Express imposed by China. IS OURU'S HEAD EMERGING OUT OF THE STUPOR ZONE? When Ouru Kenyatta was giving his speech in Kirinyaga at the annual devolution conference, he had a recurrently interesting statistic to share. There is a county with a revenue base of 9B and spending 6B on the wages of 6000 workers. The remaining 3B is what is slotted to deliver services to 2+ million Wananchi. The president looked traumatised. He looked earnest and not putting up an act of propaganda. As they would say, we felt him without him asking us to feel him! That feel, that was when I revisited one of the Greek tragedies. The Drachma was the world's longest running currency but had, in the 2000 years of perpetual bankruptcy, never made it to the world reserve currency. Other Johny come lately currencies had. Though I warrant the twin works of Homer are enough civilisation reserve currency. (before we talk of the real masters of Greek tragedy like Euripides). But there he was, the on of Jomo, aided by a MOOD TRANSLATOR, scratching his head, searching for the wrong turn responsible for his legacy going haywire to nowhere: 'surely there is something wrong in this equation: 52% of national revenues go to the salaries of civil servants. Another 30% to recurrent expenditure. Ile ambaye imebaki kuhudumiya wananchi, mamillioni karibu 50, ni 20%.'Sign language interpreter Youla Nzale impressed Kenyans as she signed for President Uhuru Kenyatta at the Devolution Conference in Kirinyaga County. She stole the show. KOT want her in jail! Anyway, even if theatrical, it was nevertheless a breathtaking bout of self-reflection as the president criticised the county afflicted by the Greek disease, because he recognised the national government he runs in Nairobi -------with the aid of highly-educated bureaucratic crooks like Rotich, Thugge, CBK Njoroge and the deep-state experienced Joseph Kinyua------- is a national manifestation of the Greek tragedy he spied in that unnamed county. Perhaps this is when we console, better late than never, but recognise the gravity: Ouru Kenyatta has left it too late. From leader of the opposition immediately after Moi, to finance minister and today president, he has had all the time he needed to stamp his legacy on the land forever. Alas, after graduating into running what Githong'o dubbed the most corrupt government in the history of Kenya, he now wakes up 3 years before forced retirement and throws tantrums about legacy!? That is bullsh!t! And even more bullsh!t when the likes of Atwoli mock him by saying he is too young to retire. They mean he is too useless to be useful anywhere else but the useless politics of the tribal Kenyan elite! What the president is now engaged in is an academic exercise in post-mortem. Such will explain death but not bring back life. You see Ouru Kenyatta has a track record in government. And it is long as we have glimpsed. But only now is he woken up to his legacy. Legacy blues are forcing him to wax sensible in self-reflective if incriminating woe. Better late than never at the scene of a crime but Ach, the thieves already split. And the loot too, split. NB: On being the minister of finance, Mr. Kenyatta paired with Joseph Kinyua. I hinted elsewhere, that something happened back there which gives the likes of Oscar Sudi a lot of confidence in dissing his much ado about Kalenjin bureaucrats corrupt to the bone. The treasury errors when Ouru was in charge, would make the current Rotich phantom dam figures look like the small change Dr. Ruto proclaims them to be. But small change or big change, this is the country thieves are mobbed to death for as little as ksh.500, a chicken, or thin goat. Projected, in such a country a whole tribe can be burnt for a 7 billion ksh theft. Footnote jukwaa.proboards.com/thread/5350/theft-watch-collusion-treasury-cbk jukwaa.proboards.com/thread/3261/another-computer-error-uhuru Forget a fool so easy to catch like Rotich! He didn't even bother to hide his tracks! The man to grill for days of marathons for anybody serious about deep state corruption, is the library, archive or gatekeeper of it all, former PM Joseph Kinyua. I warrant Ouru can't touch him. People like Oscar Sudi know this. Ruto knows this. Everybody knows this. That is why they publicly display such contempt on Haji and Kinoti. They know everybody knows they are attack dogs on a leash. --Shika! (Ruto) Wacha (Kinyua!)No fools in the republic, but we can try April One, for the laughs!

DESPERATE ACTS OF DISTRACTION AS THE CLOCK TICKS The lasting image cast by the condom-publicised Kirinyaga conference of their excellencies the County Robbers, was of course the ksh. 7B-or-21B spat between the ex peoples president and the next shoe-in president. You see, if Raila Odinga was sworn-in a KALONGOLONGO event at Uhuru Park officiated by the Bandia Kenyan Miguna, Ruto became DP in a MOCK election midwifed by the twin UN-hygienic nurses of the IEBC, Chebukati and Chiloba. (First time around in 2013, having the honour was of course Isak Hassan and his chicken-appetised crew of the itchy, oily fingers.) How do I dare qualify the 2017 presidential election(S) as mock?For that I hand you over to a forensic audit of Wafula Chebukati and Ezra Chiloba. It is in the public domain. Turn-out 34%, the binding legitimacy, after their IEBC presided over some two presidential results in late 2017. Mesays same as the Hassan team in 2013, Ezra and Wafula were a variation on the Kivuitu theme, but still clones from the same production series. I don't host the mental infection, corruption nor duplicity of soul, nor the inferiority of mind to import and broadcast those ---ChiloChebukati------ tallies as the Peoples' Will. These presidential elections are charades; they are necessary deceptions elaborately enacted to buttress phantom legitimacy's. We see the same farce in Kinsasha, Brazza, Kigali, Bujumbura, N'djamena, Cairo, Gabon. Farcical elections is the rule all over Africa. Only yesterday Nigeria gave us another version, Buhari II. These processes are elections yes, but their outcomes is another chapter in the continuing narrative of political decomposition, elite decay. They obfuscate the African peoples will. Stronger, they actively thwart it. And that ----boxing-in of Africa's future---- was the classic political purpose of colonialism. It is important to think these things out. To orient one in the historical epoch of ones existence. HOW LONG HAVE RAILA AND RUTO BEEN AT IT? --THIS DISTRACTION These two buddies Raila and Ruto have been around for a long time. They are a decomissioned series, but in Africa we know many technologically extinct models are, O miracles miracles, still on very long leases. Only that with them deployed as the main act, we can't compete on the cut-throat global scene. We are a meal to others under better leaderships. UNDER THE JKIA FIASCO Now, I agree with the analysis already posted by others, that the deployment of the Kenya Airforce personnel to man civilian duties at the JKIA airport while the Union leaders of the workers in the labour dispute are incarcerated, is the stuff of a creeping coup de tat. There has been no attempt at an official communique from the remnants of the Uhuruto regime, Jubilee is in tatters anyway, to substantiate whether the Airforce command is acting on their own volition, hired by a private company to break a strike, or, per proper chain of command, under orders of the commander in chief to act so, using the alibi of national security. –--(Massive natural calamities like floods or quakes will of course have the army deployed internally without much legal fuss; but clobbering an unruly population to bits is always a political crisis. That is the stuff of internal strife whose worst case is civil war.) But this radical move has escaped the attention of our two leading noisemakers, Ruto and Raila. But reality can't be ignored by all, least of all, the reality of a burning granary. The Onus has been on Francis Atwoli of COTU to register OUTRAGE. And he has with a ferocity. His roar must serve as a warning to infants like secretary Macharia of transport, before it is too late. ----You see, if Mombasa Port was secretly mortgaged to EXIM bank of China, is it possible JKIA too is now, in a not too dissimilar financial construction of debt expropriation, being cannibalised for a song, but with a local comprador business oligarchy whistling all the way to Switzerland (or wherever it is today they stash away piles of contraband cash!) That is the way we have ended up with PHANTOM DAMS! And it is a national tragedy. Not that the seriousness registers to all. The political class is still playing their old games, of distraction. There is no urgency of solution thinking. Yes, these two buddies Raila and Ruto have been around for a long time. Ruto made keep way back during the notorious YK'92 rip-off. It was an economic crime worse than what the DPP&DCI intend to charge Henry Rotich with: abetting economic crimes. Since those days of a cashnote dubbed Jirongo, Arap Mashamba has been an alley cat, smellier than a rodent ever scavenging a rotten carcass. www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https://www.nation.co.ke/image/view/-/1042952/medRes/208883/-/pq8cybz/-/CART211010.jpg&imgrefurl=https://www.nation.co.ke/news/1056-1042964-15b83y8/index.html&docid=exa5QM4ENfk4qM&tbnid=zLcYr8VrQPlQiM:&vet=10ahUKEwjkzbDkt_TgAhWNmbQKHbwuDtYQMwh_KDMwMw..i&w=600&h=400&client=firefox-b-d&bih=620&biw=1024&q=corruption kenya cartoons&ved=0ahUKEwjkzbDkt_TgAhWNmbQKHbwuDtYQMwh_KDMwMw&iact=mrc&uact=8 Raila Odinga has been enmeshed in in dirt too. Like the maize scandal when he s PM, to the deal with Moi which landed him the Molasses plot in Kisumu. The truth therefore is, this duo are a pedigree of the verminous horde of parasites who are a pestilence at the national treasury. Any serious fight against corruption will leave neither standing. (basis for a parley!?) So, if Ruto says Raila is a hyena askig the herdsman what interest he has knowing the count of his flock, he is right. With tenderpreneural, big-gamers like JIMMY WANJIGI in his entourage, a NASA regime easily could have delivered PHANTOM DAMS too ---and who knows the dollar tally of phantom projects ODM governors have authored in Kavirondo's environs!? But if Ruto is right, so is the same statement on the rebound. For the kettle pointing, is as black as the pot it scoffs at. The Hustler Singh is the personification of that proverbial wolf disguised in sheepskin. He is ever straining his vocals to mimic the bleating bits of the saintly Mother Ewe, back from the pastures with ladden udders. If the sheeplings are foolish enough to fall for the trick and open the door, they will be a meal, and the wolf in sheepskin will be farting all the way to the toilet. And so that is the stalemate. NB: In what is called an AESOPIC DIALOGUE, a hungry wolf who loves to feast on lost lambs 'without making any bones about it', chances upon one. But the sheepling looks so innocent, helpless and naive, 'that the Wolf felt he ought to have some kind of an excuse for taking its life.' There follows an exchange which has captivated social critics for millenia and is the subject of countless re-interpretations. The tyrant can always find an excuse for his tyranny. The unjust will not listen to the reasoning of the innocent.A thief will protest their innocence until the tongue is cut off. I am sure that is what Rotich has been doing at Kinoti's office. Francis Atwoli told Jeff Koinange: all these governors you saw in Kirinyaga, they would all be in jail if we were serious about ending THEFT, dont call it corruption! And Jeff Koinange didn't feel like asking, even just for formality: BUT WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE, WHY DON'T YOU TAKE IT TO KARURA FOREST, KIAMBU ROAD! (I reckoned Jeff didn't feel like making a fool of himself, even by interjecting, well, may be most, but surely not all! --Anyang' Nyong'o is not Kidero or Waiguru!) it is thus essentially a closed argument. The situation is primed for action. But in Kirinyaga there was of course no third voice which rose up at the conference to dare King Pot and King Kettle, that they were naked. No one in a gathering of high Kenyans at large, compromised as they are, can stand up to shut up the two squaring Kings, Kettle Ruto and Pot Raila. No young pretender can cast the die, tell the two kings off, that they have been too long in governmnet, in fact as long as anybody livin can remember, and this corruption citadel is their handiwak. No, not a rat there to bell the cat. But it is from without the ruling class that the thought, as clear as the tone of a gong, will rip through the cacophony of crickets thick on the Kenyan treasury: The two Kings are part of the sh!t to be flushed down, not part of the solution. But competing imperialisms need them, sorely. And on this, they have a life-line. This sad truth means there is a yawning vacuum at the top. And it means there is necessarily an alternative national narrative in the sidelines, reving to fill it up. This gospel of falsehoods coming from the pulpit of Pope William Ruto and Archbishop Joshua Raila, watched over by the benign if confused deity Kenyatta, doused in fake combat fatigues, can no longer mask the rising waters as the ship sinks. IT IS SWEATY AT THE TOP Meanwhile the elite have a mind to make up. How to make sure they choose the right wing which will win this clash. Should one join the aristocrats and their royal courts in the gamble Old Money will win and destroy Ruto, or should one cast their lot with the republican bandits, in the hope they will prevail and cut down the aristocrats once they capture the state in 2022, and share the bloody spoils in trickle-down economics!? As the whole edfice fo state machinery hedge bets and try the crystal bowl of Makau Mutua, that is the inertia in which Ouru's legacy is stuck. And if Fred Okeng'o Matiang'i is to jumpstart the stall, he has to emerge as his own man, and be historically made. --But that thought is the naivette of that lamb in the argument of Aesops. Seeing the way Matiang'i sat comfortably next to the rotten Rotich while he knows the man is a phantom dammer, betrays the duplicity of a team-player hedging bets as he knows a new coach is coming. Vested interests in the rot. And so, keep an eye out for altenative Kenyan voices dealing with the crisis, like the thwarted NRMKe spirit kindled by the Phantom General, Miguna Miguna, and of course the radical strand never died in Kenya. Her flagbearer today is more notorious than famous, KRA chair Martin Ngatia, but it is not for nothing young Kenyans are listening, courtesy of hand-held gadgets.

NEXT: WHY IS PRIME MINISTER MATIANG'I HIBERNATING?
Because a leopard knows when to pounce on the hunt, it has practised patience at studying prey.
But I love the Achebe wink more, the grin on 'absence'! Fred Matiang'i, legacy man, the new prime minister, is of course a known quantity. A man of the people, and anyway ever since the demise of Anne Waiguru from the cabinet, the first among equals. Of course Waiguru is know once to have twitched her nose thus. That is not a compliment, it was a cabinet of menials! Well, that was Jubilee One without the likes of Professor Magoha, truly the new kid on the block. But back to Matiang'i,
Radical re-organisation? No, this was a botched attempt at a shake-up. A verification of the post Handshake stalemate. That stalemate seeks simplification, or resolution, which is why it has, today, taken the form of a FRONTAL RAILA-RUTO CLASH.
This weekends that is where the fireworks, the center of gravity of national politics, reside. Kenya simplified.
And so ---the lion sleeps tonight-- where is our bulldozer, our outspoken hero, PM and legacy enforcer, Dr. Fred!?
When men with such reputations GO SILENT on me during a crisis, I can't help recalling the cheeky face of Chinua Achebe as discussed one or other urgent aspect of Africa. He then had this mannerism of total nonchalance which increasingly became disturbing as he told parables from Nigeria. ##footnote##
So, when outspoken bulldozers go silent on me (when for instance) 21 billion Kenya shillings are stolen ------and they are prime ministers to boot, and in charge of service deliverance------, I see nothing but another act of darkness from a very dark government in the increasingly less dark continent. Then do I activate the fakes test.
So when Premier Matiang'i, on project legacy, UNCONDITIONALLY accepted to be deputised by a man who delivers phantom dams after masterminding a ksh.21B swindle, I had to come up with a score on the scale of theatrics. Too, I remembered it was the same Matiang'i who broked the news to the nation cancerous sugar had been imported ----subsidised by the Same Rotich in a massive insider dealing and kickback racket. But Dr. Fred never followed it up with the gravity it demanded. (Mpigs took bribes as low as 5k in the toilets to trash the compiled report!) These are measures beyond what any PR-drive can camouflage.
A scumbag's paradise.
Not yet a bulldozer come of age, methinks. Were a bulldozer in the house for real, and Uhuru Kenyatta be serious in his professions of a war on state theft, the country would feel it on the streets. The changing wind. We would see and feel fear on the faces of the thieves, not defiance and arrogance and a daily flow of insults at Ouru Kenyatta and his aristocratic sidekick, Agwambo.
Nor would the two marshalls DPP and DCI be dipped in such sh!t in public and be showered with mud by obviously theiving politicians.
This weekend I watched the way man Kinoti and man Haji were being trashed by the sycophants allied to The Hustler. And the issue is phantom dams at ksh.21 Billion, at a time when 3 million Kenyans need food aid! And I told myself, so much dung around this country floating at the top.
Ati Kinoti, you are a small boy better occupied with shop lifers and petty criminals, you have no capacity to do economic crimes. Get off that high horse of yours!
The copper wouldn't the difference between 21B and 7B ksh. I remember PS Omollo Mbogo also contradicted Kinoti on his figures. That time it was NYS II. and the Ngirita's.
This trashing of bureaucrats by politicians is called the primacy of politics; the bureaucrat is just a political appointee, and mostly, a cog. Cogs must keep their heads very down. Yesterday we saw how CBK Njoroge caved in, threatened with an immediate sack by Mpigs. Either he honoured their summon or lost his job. It needs an extraordinary bureaucrat to punch above that light weight. ---Even Comey, the then mighty director of the mighty FBI, found out from a TV screen he had been sacked by Trump, president of the American people! (And I don't know how John Githong'o found out he had been outlawed!)
Truths are simple. For instance, William Ruto and co first became big thieves back in the days of YK'92. Economic saboteurs they were. If there is a war on graft, as a key person of interest he would be answering questions, pleading for bail to save him from cooling behind bars. Raila too like Rotich would be doing marathons answering questions on his deal with Moi on the Molasses land. And the list goes on. Most governors, like Atwoli told Jeff Koinange, would be behind bars.
But politics is the game where people like Mandela were terrorists, incarcerated long-term. It is also the game where quickly things can change and those powerful who deem themselves infallible, find their necks easily unresistant to rolling guillotine blades. And the people who only yesterday cheered them, now jeering at their forlorn heads, waiting for the chop.
So meseems the current war on state theft is still KALONGOLONGO, mock. But I think the nation is preparing itself to accept at the top, what is already so at the bottom: the summary execution of thieves, with the risk that even a few innocent ones will die. Because an excited mob is not always choosy.
What we watch these days is the elite making it impossible for bill or rights to be taken seriously when it will their turn to face the lynch mob. They are killing off the Miranda feel. They are whetting the appetite of a monster. It is lawlessness at the top. The state is a thieves paradise.
SPOT THE PRIME MINISTER, DR. FRED!?

THE SUPER LYING OPTION IS OUT, IT IS ACTION TIMEWhen William Ruto wants to destroy Baba, the father of the second liberation and the second republic, Raila Odinga, by hyping him down as the LORD OF POVERTY, he has picked the wrong fight. May be Dr. Ruto's Chiromo Phd was time better spent time on the socials. Its opportunity cost would not have been so glaringly a huge political deflation, were his dissertation to be on say, the changing face of propaganda in Africa. There is something disheartening about the information era, a dangerous trap for born cheats. Dr. Ruto is obviously still with Dr. Goebbels. Te NAZI chieftain of persuasion was persuaded that, a lie must be so strikingly blatant, it shocks the population into belief. It shocks them into belief by the disbelief their government, or great warrior leader, can dare their credulity with such utter stupidity. Impossible! The thing must simply be true. Among other big but cheap lies, according to Dr. Ruto, DCI Kinoti is devoid of constitutional mandate and authority to investigate him on say, his irregular acquisition of the land plot where he built his Weston Hotel. The plot belongs to the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority. (that statement by the DP easily decodes to Kinoti you can't arrest me because of my seniority to you now, and as your future president, your further career is at my leisure! Pure intimidation.) Then there is the disparaging statement which informs Kinoti he is better occupied checking out pick-pockets operating at country bus, aka Machakos airport. The KCAA land-fraud which is collateral for a ksh. 3Bn loan to raise up the Weston, is not a petty crime, and is thus beyond the DCI's small-change paygrade. Kinoti and Haji should stick to elementary frauds like DCJ Mwilu's tax-stamps. And the DP Ruto and his cronies said all these things publicly, and they were reported live! The subtext must surely read: the ksh.7b to 21B phantom dams' scandal is a count, a sum way above the mental capacities of a simple copper, be he the DCI. Then the other big one from the Chiromo Doctorate: wacheni upusi bwana, with all that oil, who do you think is dying of hunger in Turkana nor Kenya!? ---that is propaganda and a fake narrative weaponised to crate alarm and despondency at large, to kill off the credibility of the Jubilee regime in the land! In fact, if there are any dead ones, they are in Nyanza and crappy Kibera, where Tinga reins as the Lord of Poverty. So goes the public narrative of the fresh Chiromo Phd. No wonder the barely confirmed new cabinet secretary for education, the Matiang'i-protege Prof. Magoha, found it important in his first outing to warn against USELESS STUDIES. After Candidate Ruto's unfortunate utterances in his Kispsigis turf, surrounded by loyalists who egged him on and echoed his nonsense, he came (back to (his senses) only to realise no Kenyan had been stunned into believing his fake narratives, for instance of the disqualification of the DCI from probing the cash trail of the phantoms dams' swindle. Nay, on the contrary The Singh's Goebellian gambit, or NAZI-like propaganda pitch, has aroused a storm of informed and intelligent rebuttals; and on the other side, buried him under a wave of condemnation, scorn and a national avalanche of derision. Recently the grapevine had it that William Ruto had commissioned a battery of bloggers to sell his poison and, simultaneously, inoculate him from the venom of others ---opponents, competitors or haters. Methinks if they are to labour popularising and defending such Goebellian bullsh!t as above, then it is the old adage of money easily made, money worthlessly spent. If Raila is the Lord of Poverty, Ruto is the god of hunger and famine. #3 million Kenyans are starving, and counting. And social media isn't censoring. Reality wont be doing any propaganda. It is always itself, raw and hard. No movie. But why does Ruto insist on Goebellian atavism? It it our usual old dog learneth not new tricks? Or is the Hustler just too busy hustling to think carefully before he shoots his mouth? Or is he a cornered rat, baring fangs in instinctive fight back, all wits dispersed? Ach, I nearly lost my temper, thinking in 2019 starving Kenyans should be an extinct headline! But there, Oduor of the drought managements re-assures this is normal! And sh!t, it comes back to the same old solutions! --Build dams, water reservoirs, launch irrigation schemes for food self-sufficiency. And then you have phantom dams and dead-end irrigation schemes like GALANA KULALU! How do you get out of a vicious cycle!? By the way, Iosif Goebbels didn't just tell lies as such. His government had laid a base in the heart of the people, by performance. There were massive pro-people projects. They were quickly and competently done. They were engineering masterpieces in real time ---not phantom castles in the air. These success before the people BOLSTERED if not forged in iron, the will of the NAZI regime to go places. Work was being done everywhere. Monstrous schemes were being delivered ahead of time. ---The leaders could afford blatant lies elsewhere, acceptable as in comical relief then. For instance, the Hitlerite total re-organisation of the cities to prime them as workers habitats was popular, so too was the re-organisation of the automotive industry and road network with the introduction of the economy but competent VW-beetle, not to mention a mass housing scheme. On the political side, the NAZI assertion of national independence by revoking the Versailles settlement, sent the balls of many quisling-minded collaborators shrinking. But if fired a new mentality in a new generation. (the world would soon know just how fired!) So when Goebbels issued one of his super lies, Germans imported there was no lying about one fact: The NAZI regime was iron and blood. It possessed historical will in abundance and pursuied her objectives with maniacal dedication. So if you do a Goebellian pitch, ati no Kenyans are dead of starvation while pictures from Turkana are too horrible for facebook, you are just another contemptible mediocrity in the nation's history. HAHAHAHA! It is a normal statistic that tens of thousands of Kenyans face starvation every poor rains season! These things belong to the ash heap of history for real. These things should never be anywhere near public responsibility. I and my partner lost a baby one time. The pain was terrible and is still with us. I can't imagine how normal it is for parents to watch their children starving slowly to death up there in Turkana, as some well-fed fellows claim. Eish!

NEXT: WHY IS PRIME MINISTER MATIANG'I HIBERNATING?Because a leopard knows when to pounce on the hunt, it has practised patience at studying prey. But I love the Achebe wink more, the grin on ' absence'! SPOT THE PRIME MINISTER, DR. FRED!? FOOTNOTE: ACHEBE'S CHEEK. A SACKING IN KENYA: the NEW PM IS CORRUPTION COMPLIANTFor the likes of Jackton Ojwang' (or Baraza if you remember), tribunals are set before they are interdicted ---with full allowances. High securities of tenure. Too, for the likes of Finance CS Rotich, facilitator of the phantom dams, they need not even step aside as all facts point to, that they are up to their noses in economic sabotage. Rotich has aggravated the drought which has precipitated the famine which is harvesting lives. Rotich did that by effectively killing drought-remedial action. A dam can be called that, a drought-remedial project. No, the Chief is a lesser child of the gods; his contract has no details, leave alone fine details. He is like a Kayamkono labourhand. We used to say these are expendable on the spot. None other than the prime minister of Kenya announced the deputy chief, Jack Ronei, had already been sacked. No sooner than the Deputy President himself had publicly castigated the same. Power has lynched a truth-teller. Just like that. As in the Fella Kuti Song of old. (PM Matiang'i has followed Ruto's cue. That is significant: why does the PM insist on propping up this stupid lie!? that duplicity will be a running sore). ##This is the forceful Prime Minister charged with delivering a legacy for the incumbent! Howbeit our Dr. Fred has been as dead as Boutaflika of Algeria when it comes to the biggest elephant in the cabinet room: theft .... (graft or corruption by euphemism). How long can our good Doc continue with his Jekyl and Hyde act? I tell ya, there are no hunger deaths in Kenya to date, and not in Baringo nor Turkana. PM Matiang'i is operating outside reality. He looses.

HORDES OF FAKE CURRENCY; WHERE'S THE BOTTOM OF IT?First was that Ruiru saga, then this Barclays bank branch. To me it all looks like a straight case of a syndicate. Further, it was well-entrenched within the state, but now a veil is lifted as the interfactional strife at the top spreads. Oh? Our niche in the market is excellence in fraud? but can we build our country on it? or we are destined to swindle away our futures in the process!? But of course the National Intelligence Service and the Central Bank know more about this than they will say or care to admit in public. DPP Haji came from the serious economic crimes unit of the NIS. In that department there is a currency defence unit. Ever since NAZI Germany aimed to ruin Belgium (and others) by, overnight, doubling Belgium's currency supply to precipitate hyperinflation, all national intelligence services have an active department co-operating with the Central Bank on this threat. OPERATION BERNHARD One man who can shed light on Kenya's adventures with fake currency is of course Major General Gichangi, the immediate retired chief of Intelligence. The task of old soldiers is to, with much twinkle in the eye, tell heroic stories of when they were young men who dared all! (I will do my part about my East and Central African adventures when I am 70. That is the ripe age when a retired old soldier can lie with impunity since most of his compatriots are dead anyway, or, in dementia, just don't care enough to contradict him. On this issue of memoirs, please recall how the account of who exactly burst open the skull of Ossama Bin Laden in that Pakistani hideout, is the subject of unseemly wrangles between various authors from the same killer unit. Like soldiers of fortune, the ex-commandos are cashing in too early, so the whole 'heroic episode' degenerates to a simple cash disagreement ----like the divorce cases of the rich.
How much money do I get, honey!?)Not with me. I prefer a Chineke the bird folklorish pitch, and at worst, the Abunuwasi gambit. And don't I mean it. I prefer the version of the Trojan war which twerks it was all about puszy and butt, but the best god ever created, Argive Hellen's. So the man I would listen to about THE FAKE CURRENCY BUSINESS OR RACKET in Kenya, is the retired secret serviceman Michael Gichangi. Philip Kameru the new DGI is still too much in the thick of action to speak freely. DPP Haji is of course highly conflicted. He has to keep his cards close to his chest, in case (in his anti-corruption drive) he backs the wrong horse in the succession battle currently besieging Nairobi. A miscalculation is a career burying move. Neither will man Kinoti of the CDI be of much use with insights. He is still a young man, a boy really, and has not cast his lot yet. When he does, there will be a chill in the land. Either the war on theft will be recognised as dead, or no longer be debated with doubting Tom semantics. For there will be kills, career ruins and jail terms for the Cartelists who hijacked the state and practice daily theft. Currently man Kinoti is still doing press conferences. He is not yet into propaganda by deed. So he is still, like with Rotich the phantom dammer, the boy weighing his fate both sides, careful, like the three daughters of Zeus at work. The Kenyan anti-fake-currency unit may be as corrupt as the parliament which is a Mpigs bay, but it is not dead. And it can have its moments when prodded for righteous or sinister purpose. That is how and why they made the two related discoveries, Ruiru and Barclays. With the latest pretender at Integrity Centre, EACC CEO Twalib Mbarak, from intelligence, the new IG ---- Hilary Mutyambai ---- too from intelligence, and the DPP Haji concluding the capture of the anti-cartel squad by the deep state, one can say the killer-unit is primed. They are only waiting for the order to fire. At who!? Ask Kenyans And then Kanze Dena and Nzioka delete the truth from Ouru Kenyatta's tweets. Jomoson made a speech in which he drew closest ever, to CALLING A SPADE A SPADE. His PR handlers have all but declared the president out of his mind! Then, truly I say unto you, is when one needs old soldiers to tell tales how these wars were fought in the deep, in their time. For starters I saw John Githong'o struggling before Tony Gachoka: did you tell Kibaki so-and-so wanted to kill you!? What did Emilio say!?For a moment I pictured Abu Nuwasi Jeff Koinange on the same topic. ---'Waaaah! O boy O boy! John! You told all these Kikuyu men in power ---Gichangi of intelligence, Kameru of military intelligence, professor Wanjohi the diary keeper, Kibaki the president, Njenga Karume and John Michuki, that these two boys .... Murungaru and the other one ..... wanted to KILL you! And they didn't even utter NGAI! WONT HAPPEN! aaaah!
Surely John! Are you saying these power Kikuyus wanted a great Kikuyu like you dead! Wholly dead! ---WAAA! NGAI PAPA MUMBI MAMA! You are not a Luo like David Ndii, are you!?' Lie to me John, tell me more sweet lies! I am all tears!That is why I like JKL. That Abunuwasi tongue of Jeff has a deep take, the type which easily can surprise by rummaging all the way to the G-Spot. What a pity the former DGI will never face Jeff. Hey Michael, Gichangi, fancy breaking that ormerta, as the national duty of a fading soldier!?

THE BANDITS ALWAYS AT IT
There was the proposal to CLIP THE WINGS OF THE INTRUSIVE AUDITOR GENERAL It was moved by Aden Duale and signed by Ouru Kenyatta! And it also put security expenditures beyond the intrusive nose of the Auditor General. –-No even April one is a fool's day in Kenya!
And there was the largely successful plot to wholy annul CHAPTER SIX. Ouru Kenyatta and William Ruto in the lead, Willy Mutunga their handmaid and domestic accomplice!
Now, having spread his bed of deceit, apparently the son of Jomo is caught in the web, but, MEA CULPA, that flash of insight on the road to Damascus hit him, and he begs us to believe him, and in his new senses, and sense of mission.

THE REPUBLIC OF MATUSI AND EXERCISES IN SELF-DECEPTIONKicking the can down the stree and the ostrich pose. The Kenyan political elite is entertaining us with intra-class Matusi, daily. And to a certain measure the people too, when they find a small opportunity to stick the middle finger up at Kings, do do. The Ugenya by-election in which the ODM's golden boy, awarded a DIRECT NOMINATION for a price, has been urinated on by a 57% pour-out from the peoples' bladder, is a good example of the latter. Wiper teaming up with the ANC of Mudavadi and Wetangula to wipe the floor with ODM's ego in Embakasi South, is another good day for the people at comedy street. And word has been quick to drive it up the captain's big intestines. The people didn't abandon Tinga and accepted HIM as their president during the decisive oath, but thereafter HE abdicated, switched camp and declared the rotten Jubilee regime the Canaan. Canaan was the carrot HE had dangled before the people, as the final place of redemption. So the byelection defeats are codes for: You have been found a cheat, and you are being told so, at the ballot! Better stick with the devil we know, The Hustler Nation! I tell you it is a full booking at comedy street! That comedy run is the farce after the repeat of history which is a tragedy. Anyway, rewind. The Kenyan political elite is entertaining us with intra-class Matusi, daily. And the hysterics of kettles calling pots black and vice versa, upped a notch recently when senator Ajimmy bluffed with the possible impeachment of the DP. So it came to pass I was listening to a live radio relay. It was politics as usual and a hot-voiced lady was lambasting James Orengo. Simultaneously she was excelling at ridicule. Aisha Jumwa is of course the most notorious Kiuno-Shaker in politics today, but this was not her. I made a mental note to watch the competition live. What motivated me was not the nature of the news the honey-toned hyper was breaking, nay, rather, it was the sharp instincts I inherited from my Old Man. These flared alert. These receptors know a sight to behold when they hear one. 'The temperature of a cun't, is in the voice, boy.' My dad busied making a man out of me when I was a lad. And behold, since then has experience not proven him much wrong. ---Now you know, ladies, how to affect and manipulate instinctive man, to sell him ice cream for hot cakes if you please! I am saying the ruling class knows all the tricks of affectation wherefore they can manipulate the people at their leisure. That these do not always achieve the desired result is another story. But without this know-how, the tenure of those perched at the peak, them acting out the roles of social dominas, would be very short-lived in deed, even per military force. So I went bird-watching, live, and ----Holy Sh!t, what a sight it was! She is a lot of woman. Her name is Catherine Waruguru. And she represents a lot of women. And yes, I have enough vocabulary to know exactly what I mean when I refer to her as a whale of a bird. I think it was the robust Millicent Omanga, Nairobi's nominated senator, who stunned a sharp-tongued radio host to silence. She dribbled her champion bottoms around some catchy shakes from Jaguar's jingles, and, giggling outrageously and provocatively, chided the Jockey she was a lot of womanhood such that the habitually wasteful Kenyan men wouldn't know what to do with the rest of her, big brains, breasts and all! So I only do political correctness when it doesn't get in the way of my vision! Catherine Waruguru is lots of hots. But not as a national politician! She is at her best dancing as a puppet under a commander, like the rest of her owned mates. Laikipia Women representative, Catherine Waruguru.Those of us who love large meals, and belong to the voracious breed of deplorables in Kenya, known as TEAM MAFISI, are firmly and largely in their element with her peaks, wherever their anatomical localtion! These are the moments I sorely miss my dad. The man could discuss anything without restraint. Consider this: 'This Jesus of yours you tell me is the ONLY son of God, son, aint you committing a damnatio memorae on the other guy you told me they call Mohammed!?'I was just a CU boy that time, Christian Union, and I hadn't yet nuanced my thoughts on the relationship between Jesus and Mohammed, nor was i savvy to the doctrinal disputations separating world religions. Now, older and wiser (or should I say wider and deeper of mind like a veteran cun't is of dimensions), I know some religions deny God fcuks around and bears semi-mortal bastards. I also know some pontificate God has only one form, Unknowable to the human mind, and that TRINITY OR DIVINITY is a testosterone tail of the power surges of megalomania. God is not into subdivisions of HIS nature, puritans teach. They were the questions from my dad which drove me to inform myself on the nature of God according to each and every doctrine. When one day I quoted Lenin to him on the issue: Religion is the opium of the Arabs! He looked at me and topped me: 'Boy, these evangelists around here aren't Arab. But they sure are high on that book of theirs!' My dad is the man who informed me of such things like ...... 'honey before you taste it is eye candy! therefore, boy, a man must follow his c.ock to death. Co.ck knows best!' And co.ck told me this was a deliverance on the radio was best watched live. I wasn't disappointed. If you watch carefully, you will see what I am seeing. That tongue is versatile and articulate. It can unload a lot of matusi to bear. And those lips demonstrate a sensual musicality beyond gospel truth as they, on this day, trumpet the moral cheapness of James Orengo. And mark you, Ajimmy is the Nestor of Constitutional lawyers of Kenya. There is always a hidden drama below these public performances of lip service, I tell ya. From Catherine Waiguru's insinuations about the law-firm of James Orengo about a land deal around the defence college, we gather the political class keeps tabs on the criminal wheeling's and dealings of their mates behind the scenes: ------ 'tunajua mtu yule aliye papasa, akailamba na akaweka title-deed kwa law firm yake!'No kidding! You try to impeach Ruto, you will be charged with Fraud, senior counsellor! Or should we read: you try to sack Ruto, you will be impeached, Mr. President! (wherefore cowed, the president disclaimed in his state of the union: no pitchfork justice, no vigilante justice, no kangaroo directives, but due process and rule of law. Media pressure to axe the compromised is hot air!) But this is Kenya. And it is not always due process which takes the day. Miguna Miguna was deported sans eight court orders! Killer cops still do what they do best, extrajudicials. I also remember how a learned one, no less than the Attorney General Githu Muigai, apparently then a half professor, promised Raila the gallows if he swore himself in as (some kind of) President. Only for the oath to turn out to be a passage ritual into jubilee, and the cessation of official opposition! Agwambo had promptly called Githu Muigai's bluff. Howbeit Professor Githu was the dead man walking. And these days we hear how everybody ignored his opinion, even on, DUE PROCESS TALKED ABOUT, checking out if an Italian Dam Constructor had issues given several uncompleted dams in their portfolio, in Nepal for instance. In a land where the elite has contrived to make integrity officially indefinable -----where are the Nestors and Solomons of constitutional law when you need them! it is a moment to ponder and savour when -----don't miracles happen on that Damascus route----- that elite publicly re-discover the concept of integrity, and, furthermore, proceed to lash each other with it, as if bringing on a tortuous CILICE, to be worn around the soul of errant's, permanently and forever. They know themselves so well. They confess daily just how much rot they hide within. They shamelessly inform, and prove the republic of Kenya, one and the only one beloved by all of us, is overgrown with political criminals and clogged with filth at the top. Not that we do not know it. But like a patient monster, the people wait to be transformed into a mob! But if you didn't know what a celice is, nor the moral depths of passion which go with its origins, remind yourself below. Then will you recognise the term 'vermin' for this lot is polite lingo. I am a diplomat. NB: what this means is, when one sees these lesser politicians performing in public, one must hold accounts with puppets being stringed, owned-dogs being orchestrated into a bark or attack. That is our kind of democracy then, which explains why it was not HE CiC Emilio Mwai Kibaki who really ordered the KDF to go Nchi 'LINDAring' in Somalia. The reasons Kibaki had then, before being overruled by his bosses, are still valid today. And today, withdrawing the KDF from Somalia is still not the call of the Kenyan C.C, now H.E Ouru. These two are celices around the heart of a conscious head of state. FOOTNOTE: OF CELICES. 1. Or flaggelant

HUSSEIN MOHAMMED OF CITIZEN NEWSNIGHT INTERVIEWS DP PRESIDENT WILLIAM RUTO
APRIL 9, 2019, KAREN, NAIROBI
RUTO: Before Raila Odinga engaged the president on the matter of the handshake, he engaged me four times. I declined four times!
True or false!? No idea. But I am sure the motive, whoever made the first move, got nothing to do with the benefit of Kenya. It is all a looting device!

FOOTNOTE: THE LONG OF ITOr flaggelant The GENUINE form is of course the one openly practiced by the Shiite: ASHURA. It does not allow room for jokers. UP CLOSEI have to ask myself this, openly. Does the political class of Kenya desire a Kenyan version of an ASHURA ritual!?The other month, only during the pro- or anti Ruto debate, did Kipchumba Murkomem drop this bombshell. He said loud on TV, confronting Joshua Kutuny, if Kutuny knew he was on the Interpol DRUGS LIST, and faced possible extradition to the USA like the Akatshas!WAAAAT!? You go! And then think, where is that DCI Kinoti press conference to tell us why the Cheranganyi powder-peddler is still allowed into parliament, starring next to the president of the republic and, outside, flogging his message throughout the Rift at large! On the same topic, only after J OHO called Ruto Muizi, did Nandi governor Sang and Kipseret Mpig Oscar Sudi tell the nation, in retaliation, what they knew: Joho is the bane of our youth at the coast, powdering their noses and lungs with whites not meant for ugali!And again you go WAAAAT! where is that Kinoti guy again when you need him! There was also a tit-for-tat between the said Sang and a Glady's of ODM. Again courtesy of the Raila Ruto head-on. We got to know what kind of things Sang and Gladys do, and with with who, across the better lodgings of the country's cities! (essentially Sang and Glady's were accusing one another of keeping a harem of paedophile material!) And this time you go WOWU! O Lord Bachus of the orgies! but why curse our leaders to choose the unripe for their rituals, reminscent of the banquet of the chestnuts!? And yeet again, now, only after Orengo threatened impeachment at the address do we hear, from a Ruto hottie, how compromised Orengo's law firm has been. And the topic is land in Nairobi which, from Lenana's illiterate thumbprint on his 1904 agreements with land-greedy colonialists, would belie Kenya's most famous rebellion, The Mau Mau. (NB: During a recent live interview with the Dpt. President, The Hustler, Mohammed Hussain of CitizenLive forced Ruto into plentifuls of SOPHISMAL THOUGHTS, for instance when he jabbed him on the the plot land where the Weston is built. I found it highly amusing. Ruto had to explain how the plot was allocated to him. He had to do this to retaliate against the simple question: will you return the land to the KCAA?The following is of course in the public domain, and Steven Sackur of the BBC in his inquisitory HARDTALK had already drawn Ruto's blood on it. but the details of the sophism of Ruto's answers to Hussein will be done elsewhere. Not here. Here it will suffice to conclude these people know their crimes. They are conscious of their moral rot. They keep tabs on each others' debauchery, criminal or not. They choose to never go to Karura road (DCI Headquarters) as Ouru once cried to those who claim he is corrupt, but hold onto the info as deterrence, as a kind of blackmail kitty, a bargaining chip, or intimidation tactical weapon. This could be our version of the MAD stalemate: Mutually Assured Destruction. This could be the key to our stability, the balance of committed crimes, wherefore no one side can disturb the balance, but can only BLUFF within AGREED PARAMETERS. That is all there is to it, the war on graft. The criminal ruling Kenyan elite is not about to commit collective suicide on account of their theft! If Dr. Ruto were to understand this, he would be the number one handshake man. Because it is evident the agreed parameters which the war on graft is fought, is not to the heart of the Kenyan people, and thus a dangerous option exists, that the war could take a turn for the real. In such a turn, then even for his role in the YK'92 ECONOMIC CRIME alone, Ruto is already dead meat. It is like we are waiting for a Tshaka to break the rules of warfare, assert a new code, a new daring, launch a new morality, a much more ruthless and a decided hunter cat, tearing mice. That is the option the Handshake is here to curtail. This Kalongolongo thing of Uhuru Kenyatta and Kinoti where a disgraced cartel zombie like Rotich continues to chair state finance decisions, is a kindergarten run whose historical role is to raise the curtain for the main course: a real war on graft. ---We are all used to FACEBOOK announcements of the exploits of The HESSY'S. Plastered across social media like roman enumerations of battlefield exploits of her bloodiest generals on the Tribune, are the body counts of robbers summarily executed, and their body parts perforated by excess punches of lead, courtesy of the Dandora and Kayole hotshot rogue sherrifs. Now you have to ask yourself as a Kenyan: do you think fellow Kenyans can not get used to a regular diet of gory frontpages in the dailies and TV-shows competing for ratings, detailing in graphics and jubilant prose, the latest thieving parastatal heads to literally roll, top politicians and corrupt bureaucrats to find messy death as their reward for economic crimes?Do you think there would be mass demonstrations like we have seen toppling Bouteflika and Bashir, AGAINST a Kenyan hardman taking the battle to the cartels of corruption and collecting them skulls? Or do you think the Kenyan mob, appetised, will bay for even more blood until blood starts to get blood for bloods sake!?These questions are important, but because they are very painful to ask directly, culture must adopt a jocular, couched form. #### Anyway, if Ruto calls the bluff of the Handshake, he will need Matiang'i, himself compromised by the landscam at Lang'ata, to mobilise the police to chase away Raila and his mobs on the route to reclaim the KCAA land, and the Primary School land, he thieved for his Weston Hotel car park! This things are funny, until the political conflict gets out of hand because hordes can no longer make ends meet. Happily there is China to buffer the worst, otherwise of course this elite remains easy prey for a decided man to call their bluff. It is a political elite which can be dismissed as in a coup, to jail or to the grave, just waving the auditor general's report alone. And enough Kenyans will cheer, even if only to regret the next day like those Egyptians who cheered Morsi's overthrow! Watch how much money China is pumping into Rottich's bottomless pot and behold the stable Kenya shilling. I gathered Diaspora remittance along with easy credit guaranteed by China are the pillars of the shilling. Macro-economic sensibility by Njoroge at the CBK doesn't feature in it, coz there is none. Prudence and managerial skill in currency commerce as a supposed attribute of the Thugge-Rotich-led treausry is also a non factor in the stablity of the Kenya shilling. But the greatest news is this: the opinions and markings of American ratings bureaus with respect to the Kenyan shilling or economy, the Standard and Poors, and the Moodys and the Fitchs, no longer determine whether Kenya gets credit or not from anwywhere, and at what rates from whatever bank, even IMF! WHY!? I hear one part is called EMERGENCE, the other, too important to fail. The emergence, is the emergence of China, which translates to her ability to underwrite and accept liability on selected debts from wherever. The second part is Kenya is a jewel in the Chinese OBOR or BRI crown. A princess to be treated lavishly, by every suitor. Which must bring us to study Cameroun, following last months 'controversial' news of debt forgiveness by China The Cameroonians did what everybody else is doing in continent. Misuse and steal the money. Then there is no capital generated by the loan, to even service it. Then you are a beggar. But not wholy. Some beggars have a lot going for them. DRC Congo for instance, a $3 trillion horde of minerals waiting, conservative estimate. FOOTNOTES Now you can check our (Kenya's) figures with China. And then you are free to lazily think, the Chinese are so careless witth their cash, they let a scumbag dam-scammer like Henry Rotich to make decisions on it!And on second thoughts, much more serious, what do you see!? Just saying don't waste too much mental energy on battles between Raila and Ruto. The duo may look big from where you are doing your thinking, but, rest assured, they are just motorised puppets in a pond, powered by Chinese batteries. There is a bigger game on, in the globe, and Kenya is just a small meal. Her elite can be allowed to squander several tens of billion shillings, so long as they deliver what they oughta deliver. That is the deal. I repeat: Eduardo Dos Santos was given a figure he could loot and no more from Angola's oil pockets. A dog on a leash he was. Howbeit if one checks the figures he looted and which made his daughter the richest of the royalty children of Africa, then -----O Lord I believe in thee deliverance----, the magnitude of the magnanimity of the Chinese for their African children is outrightly sinister. You know what they say about spoilt little brats! (mirrors and beads for ivory, gold, slaves, souls and lands). One hell of a deal for one party!) And I will be back.

matusi footnote. A LUO PIVOT COMMENT ZUSANA CAPUTOVANo, you never heard of her. She is not Juliana Tymoshenko, nicknamed the Gas Queen. Suzana comes from a very small country, a county like Luoland. It is called Slovakia. And used to be sisters with the Czech republic. The worst insult, during the last Ukrainian elections, was who to take the blame for having reduced Ukraine from, they said, once the richest republic of the Soviets, to its current 'Congo-like' situation. During the recent Slovak election too, won by the anti-corruption Lioness, Caputova, the corrupt establishment was 'Africanised'. They were accused of running Slovakia 'like Africans run their banana jungle republics.' ---Rotting, rotten, rotting and from death to dust. No, No, No! The Slovak electorate was persuaded their incumbet government was more African in their identity-eviscerating corruption, than say, the way of the KOSOVO Albanians, MoldaviaN, or Transnistrias' elites. This is the infamous list of the NOT YET EUROPEAN nations according to EU standards! These are the barbarians in the current Euro-Narrative; however, they are still considered slightly above your typical African republic, like our Luoland project, the Odinga caliphate so baptised by the rogue NRM gneral, Miguna. The retarded caliphate is currently embedded in the twice barbarian Kenyan Union. This of course predicts Luoland as pre-renaissance! ####FOOTNOTEMy nationalist senses are dim in the mains, yet they are not amused by this Euro-centrist slander-talk. They register sensitivities which surprise me in their emissions of heat. I seethe with a dangerous passion, at a political bureaucracy which, in 2019, runs a Nyanza which is the scorn of even thrice barbarians from Kenya ----the likes of Oscar Sudi!James Orengo: imagine lobotomised brains like Oscar Sudi shaking their empty heads that you, a veteran Solomon at law with KIZUNGUZUNGU MINGIMINGI, soon as you became minister of lands, rather took bribes to wear togas at shillings six-million a piece, instead of building a dispensary at Ukwala and topping the pharmacy there with ORS, seeing the child mortality rates of Yugenya due to ROTA!So I share the seethe which drove Ugunja voters to lynch the ODM zombie, Chris Karan. But is this really what happened at Udira Kamrembo in Ugenya that day!? Here is another version. Chris Karan was called the fake incumbent and some youths wanted him quarantined. It is an open secret Chris Karan, colluding with corrupted ODM party officials, stole David Ochieng's win at the ODM primaries then. Some can no take that kind of medieval court chicanery no more. Even if the Nestor and Solomon combined of the Kenyan constitution, James Orengo, is presiding over it. I said, I got reason to seethe. I went to school in Siaya. And we were very proud youths, to be schooling just a stone throw away from the homes of the legends, Argwings Kodhek, Oki Ombaka, and a host of the best of the best mentals, including Bethwell Ogot. The fires that brought forth the ash that now stings our eyes with shame. And then you hear your republic, Kavirondo, is a caliphate lower than Transnistria, Moldova and Kosovo ---all pirate dens and abscesses more rotten than DC. DC is the swamp Donald Trump was elected to drain, but which has drowned him instead. Here is where you find Transnistria and Moldova And Albanian Kosovo, This is Slovakia's attempt at civilization, Her slogan was simple: FIGHT EVIL, O SLOVAKS! So long we tolerate corruption in our government and society, we are doomed to grovel in darkness, mediocrity, economic stagnation and wallow in the scorn of civilized nations. ----She might as well have added: if we don't, we will be like Siaya in Kenya. Siaya is a wasteland at the bottom of all Kenyan counties! And you know Kenya, like Nigeria, is one of those nothings in Africa! God Forbid! Zusana Caputova has been a kind of John Githong'o really. Her anti-corruption zeal is impeccable. Her bravery as a crusader for clean government even as the establishment murdered other anti-corruption investigators, captured the national imagination. She said: 'let this be my death cry and epitaph then: I died fighting the evil of corruption which I am persuaded, will destroy our people and our homeland. I say a total No to it. So be it if I die for that!'Try that, candidate Hustler! 'Believe me, O people of Slovakia', she cried to rally the cynical grassroots, an electorate long thought to be persuaded to aquiesce to corruption-moneyed barons, 'there are credible alternatives to corrupt elites, rotten bureaucracies and cartel-infested governments; and right here on earth!
Lets try it, lets do it!'Try that, you charlatans of the handshake! The conservative establishment thought they found a weak link in her thesis of administrative cleanliness by national renewal and cultural rejuvenation. It is a catholic country, Slovakia in the main, but candidate Zusana propagated the following (anathema's so thought and said spindoctors!) 1. Legalise abortion. 2. Allow gay marriages 3.Allow gays to adopt children. 4. Easien divorceCaputova herself is a divorcee and a hard-working mum. The opposition thought they had her where they wanted her. A raving nut. Satan's own voice! oops! The people voted her in, but there was a cultural caveat well-said by an older admirer, a granny. 'Let her concentrate on one thing first: KILL CORRUPTION before they kill her presidency. Abortion and gays can wait as the people debate them at their pace and take their time. It is the corruption which must be done quick and ruthless. Then she wins again next time!' 'This election has produced quite an upset, an outsider elected, not so!?' a world class TV journalist asked. The old lady responded with irritated scorn: 'You are suprisedsurprised hate corruption and corrupt governments!? Really? Does your own country love corrupt scum in government!?''One is never too old to learn. And some basic truths are truly universal: EVIL MUST BE FOUGHT! And corruption is evil. And institutionalised? that is is the real satan's way. Only redemption will suffice. A cleansing act. My nationalist senses, long dimmed, are becoming sharper by the day. Let Kenyans tolerate and reason and pontificate for all to hear, that their president must be a thief, recruited from the ranks of known thieves and state looters. Leet the sophism celebrate, this is the way they, Kenyans, plot to take care of (national) business and the future of their children.In Luoland, my heart is cold with dissent. It seethes with a hatred for corruption beyond tolerance. EVIL MUST BE FOUGHT, EVIL MUST GO. If the monopoly party of Luoland under Agwambo is married forever to corruption, financial malfeasance and the social mediocrity which reports Siaya as the botom bobottom years on end, then it must be declared a LUO PUBLIC ENEMY number One. The political elite like the hyacinth that chokes the lake, must be removed large scale, as a full-time industrial occupation of efforts.Those Kenyans who are sensitive to their international image should take notice of the above. I saw them proud Kenyans roast Ababu Namwamba for his dress code to South Africa the other day. The now retired Young Turk was dressed in all blues like Gangsta Rapper from Corn Belt. To me it was a non-event really. Pressed, I would rather complain about the dress code of Kenya's High court Judges. Or the speaker of the joint houses of assembly during the latest Uhuru Kenyatta state of the nation. I am, hmmm, more sensitive to Kenya and Botswana being confused for Chad and Somalia and Burundi. Methinks things like Burundi and CAR are too below primitive to be called African! May be they are basic animal republics, yes, geographically in Africa, but certainly not African! Don't try my temper. Like Grandmastah Flash sang in his classic Rap Song: don't push me coz am on the edge, Am tryin' no' to loose ma mind ---HA HAHAHAHAHA!and Its like a jungle, makes me wonder, how I keep goin' under! ---HI HI HI HI HI HI HI!With corruption, I know Africa keeps goin' under! That is for sooth! THE REPUBLIC OF MATUSI AND EXERCISES IN SELF-DECEPTIONKicking the can down the stree and the ostrich pose.
The Kenyan political elite is entertaining us with intra-class Matusi, daily. And to a certain measure the people too, when they find a small opportunity to stick the middle finger up at Kings, do do. The Ugenya by-election in which the ODM's golden boy, awarded a DIRECT NOMINATION for a price, has been urinated on by a 57% pour-out from the peoples' bladder, is a good example of the latter. Wiper teaming up with the ANC of Mudavadi and Wetangula to wipe the floor with ODM's ego in Embakasi South, is another good day for the people at comedy street. And word has been quick to drive it up the captain's big intestines. The people didn't abandon Tinga and accepted HIM as their president during the decisive oath, but thereafter HE abdicated, switched camp and declared the rotten Jubilee regime the Canaan. Canaan was the carrot HE had dangled before the people, as the final place of redemption. So the byelection defeats are codes for: You have been found a cheat, and you are being told so, at the ballot!
Better stick with the devil we know, The Hustler Nation!
I tell you it is a full booking at comedy street! That comedy run is the farce after the repeat of history which is a tragedy.
Anyway, rewind. The Kenyan political elite is entertaining us with intra-class Matusi, daily. And the hysterics of kettles calling pots black and vice versa, upped a notch recently when senator Ajimmy bluffed with the possible impeachment of the DP.
These two are celices around the heart of a conscious head of state.

THE MATUSI REPUBLIC IN OVERDRIVE!
Ya, they know themselves, and they know just how rotten they all are up there! And they are confessing their secrets openly. Imagine how much money the top ranks of the Kenya police is making blackmailing these people! Files may disappear from archives so that prosecution is impossible, but rest assured the files are kept under lock elsewhere, not destroyed, but as security.
NB: When Hissen Habre's regime in Chad collapsed before top security officials could shred their archives, these were seized and thousands of families whose loved ones had disappeared could now read the truth, and visit the unmarked graveyards.
Anyway here we go, our Kenya: THE RUARAKA LAND SCAM REVISITED!
Now again, a few days ago when Atuoli Francis declared Ruto's presidential bid dead, an interesting counter attack has surfaced!
Wow! Atuoli is a murderer! WAAAAT!
We keep our ears open! There are no secrets! We will soon here during the weekend at a funeral, WHO KILLED CHRIS MUSANDO!
Or, like Susan Kihika of Nakuru, in a tweet innuendoistic enough to reveal, yet vague enough to allow a backtrack! (Susan, in a linear function, mentioned Atwoli, bodygaurds, gunshots, and Muchai in the same tweet!).
These politicians know all, they are just not telling us today, yet!
40:00 PHARMACEUTICALS!

PEEKS INTO THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF THE UHURU-RUTO SPATPolitical events in the land have taken another dramatic turn. This latest twist is more significant than the earlier signs of tension at the top. There is a spat between the URP and the TNA wings of Jubilee. That spat is fronted in public by a president and his deputy, Kamwana and The Hustler respectively, engaged in an open rift, publicly reading from different scripts on government and succession matters. Well, during a recent visit to Nyeri, it is alleged DP Ruto was on his own, security-wise! The prime minister and policeman Matiang'i was only too glad to oblige his superiours, whoever they be! But those are funnier beefs. Succession matters, however, are of life and death in certain formations. We usually give it a soft name, power struggle. But then according to a famous ideological thinker, history's motive force is class conflict, hitherto. Kenya has a right to be different, but I wouldn't bet on it! Another way of explaining the Uhuru-Ruto rift, therefore, is the failure of their immediate and personal capitalist interests to converge. This ... temporary irreconcilability .... has then ruled out an amicable merger of business interests, leaving only the option of a hostile co-existence. Hostile co-existence is intense competition and is likely to be resolved in 'FORCED TAKE-OVERS, or some other warlike economic definition of expansion. --Here I should say something about annexation in short: JIMMY WANJIGI AND MACHARIA OF THE MEDIA MOGHUL nearly faced forced expropriation in the heats of 2017/2018. Uhuru and Ruto ---we will later know who exactly was the driving factor--- were resolved to run them down and out of business because of their support to the headache Raila! Ruto and Ouru's court would then share the spoils, or the remains if you like! On the confluence of power and business Kenya-Kenyatta style, an article by David Ndii from 2018, would be instructive. ###footnote It was called CRONYSM AND STATE CAPTUREAgainst these wheeling's and dealings of the Kenyatta business empire with Uhuru in power, we could plot a map of the aggressive expansion of the Hustler, project his known appetite and encircle areas of divergence and possible confluence. Kenya Power, Kenya Pipelines, Agricultural policy will be important areas to clinicise. An attempt at a clear demarcation of areas of interest during the negotiations of the 50/50 parley which underwrote Ruto as a CO-PRESIDENT and not a deputy, soon proved blurred in reality. Borders in business, just like arbitrary borders between young countries ---think of African borders which have bequeathed us a legacy of Big to Small (Migingo sized) spats---- aren't easy to stick to when shifts in the power balance emerge. And anyway, growth is a phenomenon which, in the rule, must override existent borders. Shifts in power balance are like the implosion of the neighbouring Somali state. This created a vacuum which Kenya, like other nefarious neighbours, has been, sponsored by greater others, encouraged to fill as a kind of neo-colonial power. That is how we got our nose heavily bloodied at EL-ADDE. That is the stupid adventure where we lost a host of KDF braves, including Major General Obwoge. (Had Obwoge braved the attack, he would no doubt today be in line to succeed CGS Mwathethe!) SHIFTING BALANCE OF FORCES AN SUCCESSION JITTERSIt is therefore logical that, in the fight against corruption, events be manipulated conform a FACTIONAL WAR between real CAPITAL INTERESTS. These are on one part, status quo and incumbent, and, tails, opposant and ever seeking marginal advantage: rising and belligerent. State power is therefore a decisive factor in the possibilities of settlement. That is the decision of who looses, and by how much margin. NO honour there among thieves. And I don't mean electoral rigging. I mean fortunes, earth-moving business opportunities, the billions from looting the state at an industrial scale. At this juncture (of intra-elite factional warring) it is still the war of the top predators we are chronicling. We haven't yet factored in a third major factor: Wanjiku's interests. These latter interests ----call them the aspirations of Wanjiku, or the common woe- and man's interests, are not compatible with those of the predators. But politics for the moment is the art of the impossible. There is therefore the apparent reality of hyena's taking care of sheep's interests. And really what other interest does a sheep have in life if not to be, forgive the pun, shepherded to the slaughterhouse!? But if Wanjiku is not sheep, then what we have in that apparent reality are the contours of a CRISIS. Therefore, the Uhuru Ruto spat is a symptom of an unfolding crisis. The interests of Wanjiku are neglected but they are not dead. They are too radical to be ignored, and increasingly pressurised, therefore a hyped pretence of acting on them is necessary. This is why the frenzy of development projects launched daily. In fact, it is politically suicidal for anybody not to pay lip service to the aspiration of Wanjiku. A reading of the MANIFESTOES of every political party paints a picture of DEDICATED SERVANTS OF WANJIKU! How lucky she be! Wanjiku and her offsprings! vision 2030 and all, Hoduma namba and all! take off! take off! He he he! The crisis is that these manifestoes are hogwash and their writers know it. Phantom schemes designed to loot, like the ongoing scandal of the dams to end drought, and irrigation schemes to end famine! Therefore there is a permanent vacuum for, should we say, the genuine party of action. From phantom schemes to real projects! WHERE THE INTERESTS AT THE TOP CONVERGE, NO WORD 1. Remember when it comes to secret clauses signing off the sovereignty of Kenya as collateral to infrastructure loans, the leading men of the land ---Uhuru, Ruto, Raila, Kalonzo, Mudavadi and their courts----- are all signed to the OMERTA. There was an amazing recent report, in the public domain, that the AUDITOR GENERAL, the venerable Eduard Ouko, suddenly developed blinds on a very key issue! The DN was on top of it, retrieving a copy of the contract and quoting from it And then the clincher And then the master tongue in cheek! Of course we all know the answer. When a dog is on a leash, it is on a leash, even if its name is Eduardo Dos Santos! That is a a lesser joke. Santos is a goner. I mean to say Cyril Ramaphosa, still a comer. Here is the bigger joke which goes with it. Cyril was to succeed Nelson Mandela if the party could have its say. But Big Business which, true narratives of state capture be told, owned the SA economy, wouldn't have it. Cyril was a young radical trade-unionist. He was profiled susceptible to narratives of radical economic reform, up to and including good old nationalisation (not least of the land sector) as a method of wide scale wealth redistribution and correction of historical injustices. And so a Thabo Mbeki, an act much more malleable to neo-liberal orthodoxy, became the triumphant compromise. His relatively brainy act was followed by a degeneration, the BORIS-YELTSIN-LIKE stuporic regime of incompetence, under the cocksure Jacob Zuma. Under cocky Jacob was the time the narrative of state capture now surfaced! Hear! hear! But decades had passed meanwhile. And young Ramaphosa was now Old Cyril. He was now retiring, lazier and compromised by corruption; in addition, he was sedated by personal aggrandisement and insider graft. Old Cyril was now just the man to save the day as Zuma's mediocrity threatened to be the gateway for the radicalism of the Julius Malema sentiment. Old Cyril's comeback to his party birthright (a Mandela successor) was to ward off this swing to radical reform. Given his impeccable (called 'historicalness' in Uganda in relation to M7's first frontline comrades) CV as an anti-apartheid hero, that surely counts for sufficient credibility both within and without the party, so a neo-liberal sure bet for a stooge! This South African situation is the bigger joke. Given the nominal measurement of SA's economic worth, you get the picture. SA GDP just about dooms everybody else to mediocrity! ---Sorry, Oga brothers, you only have big mouths, cheap oil and your womenfolk dominante two professions globally: prostitution or drug mules, mostly both. That is another cheap joke of course, but smoke from a real fire! (Jails around the world report quite a harvest of Oga sisters of burden! mules) But the important thing is to read these as symptoms of crisis, and help decode Kenya's position vis-a-vis the rest. From this, we can easily zero down and explain with ease, such phenomenon as the rise of OSCAR SUDI to the ranks of a kind of Pugilist in Chief, swinging the axe far and wide to decapitate the opponents of William Ruto. When the emperor is walking about naked, and every adult in room is admiring his majesty's exceptional outfit, singing the praises of his divine tailor and nodding vigorously, there is need for an innocent act deflating the bubble. History has it, she was a child who pointed to the silly nakedness of the King, and nailed the collusive hypocrisy of the gathered aristocracy. And the reality was faced. I hear Oscar Sudi was a Makanga. I know the trade myself. I have been a tout in my own PSV. I recognise when Sudi is referred to a makanga, it is a put down. It is a snobbish dehumanisation and belittling of his intellect, moral worth and sanity. That discredits him in whole. It is a reflection of the hubris of the parasites at the top. Which is why it is important, in the battle against corruption in Kenya, to intellectually state the nakedness of the King. Muthamaki Kamwana. ---The He who is leading the war on graft! Let us take a peek at a considered David Ndii deliverance. The following ace kids would be hard pressed to, project discredit, call BadBoy David Ndii, a makanga. The kids I mean are the high prisests of state rot at the treasury. They are the facilitators Kamau Thugge, Joseph Kinyua, Henry Rotich, Patrick Njoroge. I wish I could say I am joking on that one too. NEXT NDII ARTICLE IN FULL.[/quote]

Ms Kenza Dena, that is her name right, the current charming national liar. Dr. Alfred Goebbels Mutua was here you know. And the retiring, gentlemanly lying machine, Menoah Esipisu. --The pay of a national liar is far, far better than that of a court poet, but the mental demands are far, far less. (I wanted to compare the political economy of a wife to that of a mpango wa kando, even if, flip side, a Ben-Ten. But I desist for the moment. But 'calculated' insights are welcome!) Here it comes Yawa: 'It was a question based on an unnecessary level of aggression. That was uncalled for.' --That is answer from chief policyman of the president, when confronted to provide the details of the greatest and most expensive infrastructure project to date! Omera Waita, hio peza sio ya mama yako! wacha ushenzi ya ukondoo! ---an unthinking brainlessness which makes you nothing but a cartel apologist. This is huge money, debt, and many generations to come will be saddled with it, because the commercial vialbility of the SGR in its current form, is pure fiction. Well, fellow Kenyan, things are very madongodongo I tell you. It is thuol odonjo e ko. The Germans will not be briefed neither by Konrad Adenauer nor by sidekick, Ludwig Erhard, on the details of the Marshall plan! Let alone the fine details! ----Catch the joke if you dare!

And then they look at each other: who will bell the cat! Not me, DPP; no, not me, DCI! OF GEOFFREY KARIITHIWhen the history of the investigative capacities of the relevant Kenyan organs of this era are finally written, future Kenyans will shudder. There will be long treatises of introspection, like those of the Germans trying to explain themselves about the acts of their ancestors during the Shoa. The current spate of moral depravity, our complete domination by the spell of greed, incompetence and duplicity will be a bottomless mine for awe, as to what depths of mediocrity a nation can sink. You can take that to the bank!

A SMALL STEP TOWARD JUSTICE, A QUANTUM LEAP FOR AN INDIVIDUAL
When people like Ouru and Raila first visit this ageing scumbag, DT Moi, to pledge their loyalty to him, is it any wonder Ruto grins: mtoto wa masikini akipata, ameiba; mtoto wa tajiri, amepewa!
Imagine 1982, how the late Chelagui must have felt when he found out he didn't own that prime land of his. The president of the republic had the title deed, basta!
I go with the sentiment of hardman Ngatia: Moi should be hanged live at Uhuru park with with barbed wire! even a 100 year-old robber is still scum!

WHEN RUTO VISITED TURKANA AND LATER, PUNCHES AT THE AIRPORTThe news of the DP's wild frontier tour has been dominated by the usual superficials: Which political harlots did he carry along? which prostitutes flocked to his purse? and what intrigues were manufactured and put in place by his Nairobi opponents? The answers are quick: Outgoing governor Nanok endorsed him for 2022; rejected the idea of a referendum and, on behalf of the Turkana pastorals, wholly affirmed the allegiance of the oil-rich region to the Hustler Nation. Nanok will be big if Ruto is fulfilled. From Nairobi, we now gather after a famous (Nanzy-Baraza-Kerubo like altercation) at the airport, government officials were telephoned to give the Hustler's tour of Turkana, a wide berth as they say. This they did. Apparently the DP was stung. His fury was still seething when he chanced into Karanja Kibicho at the VIP lounge in their quest to welcome back president Kenyatta. Uhuru Kenyatta, allegedly under pressure from some gold-smuggling Arab ruler-sheikh who had been conned up to Ksh.400M in exchange for fakes, had been lying low for a fortnight, but had escaped to Rwanda wherefrom he was returning. There, the Iron Paul had slapped him on the back and told him, 'chin up, brother, we are all swindling the Congo like parasites; so what if some greedy Arab is swindled in this elaborate criminal process!?' But domestics first, His Excellency had to make a big entry because the nation had so missed him as to declare him medically collapsed, or, O KOT, at least lost to some other form of incapacitation. The King had to openly demonstrate his vigour. As the whole pack of cabinet orderlies jam-packed the VIP lounge to await the return of the great one, Ruto's private seethe exploded in the face of Kibicho. The duo all but came to blows. But those are sub issues! (compare being the president of Iran today, the world's most formidable armada at your doorstep, yelling here comes regime change! From that perspective there is no pressure for anybody in Kenya to be nervous about!) But here we go, silly kids in wonderland! The main issue to me is the 'ALTERCATION' which neatly summarised the history of Kenya in a photo. POVERTY TOURISM? There has been a lot of moral handwringing and 'headsearching' on this topic, as evidenced by the volumes of academic papers published by Kenyans in the wake of the KIBERA SLUM TOURS! So spot the difference and carry the day. Sometime back there was a controversy surrounding guided tours of the Nairobi slums, especially Kibera. The former constituency of Amollo the Tinga, dubbed the lord of poverty by Mutahi Ngunyi, was then marketed as the largest slum in Africa. For a pair of high denomination dollars, visitors from afar, namely whites from privileged neighbourhoods in the mother countries of finance capital, seeking kicks and fixes such as of those who visit zoos to enjoy animals imprisoned in cages, could buy themselves a ringside seat to witness at close range, black Kenyans turned into worms wallowing in human sewage. Photo-ops with these wretched of the planet, all smiles and appreciation, came at affordable rates! It aroused discomfort, and more. And so Where were you all these years, O savior, O our anti-lord of poverty! But I say better late than never! here come the goodies now that you know the plight of the forgotten, wretched of Kenya, O messiah! You know William Ruto has been in politics since he left College during the Arap Moi years, decades ago. But it is only now when Karanja Kibicho ordered government officials away from his entourage, that The Hustler achieves an amazing insight after as he discovers one or two things about the Turkana area! He and Ouru Kenyatta in their first term were busy devising OIL-REVENUE bills which, totally expropriative, reduced Turkana's retention and remittance to near zero after local loot. Little did he know the depths of historical neglect wherefore some of these people did not even know they ARE Kenyans! (Imagine how the Kenya Army Mboys are dying for them --Turkanas---- in godforsaken places like El Adde in Somalia, defending their oil from Al-Shabaabs!)How could they know? Living in pre-history with not even a borehole in sight, while Kenya is one of the best, if not the most roaring economy of the Savannahs! Don't our GDP dwarf EAC combined? don't it outrank the GDP of DRC, a half continent with all the world's reserves of anything! And there you are in 2019! Turkana Kenya; the most formidably politicians of the post-independence lot, long time minister for ---amongst other departments--- Agriculture; Vice President during the Eurobond for infrastructure debt binge; accuser of others as lords of poverty; etc etc .... There he is discovering oil-rich Turkanas have zilch! forget laptops for non existent schools, they first need boreholes to water goats and themselves! Professor Magoha and Dr Bellio Kipsang can close all the substandard schools they want. In Turkana they wont find any to close! The first thing to do is laugh. The second thing is think. And then the reality hits. The comprador is a late class today in history. The solution is simple. Turkana need to retain 60% of the oil revenues. This to finance their turbo flight from pre-history to 2019, the 5G era of Huawei and Samsung labs. AI and all! It is called the Turkana Development Authority -TTDA. It is a national emergency and top priority. Thurkana is the LINDA NCHI FRONTIER! they are citizens who don't even know they are citizens. They are truly the forgotten ones to date! So (Like Early European missionaries discovered primitive African tribes to be christianised and civilised, and, their christian hearts touched, embarked widescale upon that mission with passion, lets hope the born-again Chiromo Phd tea totaler, Dr. Ruto, has found his mission! Let us also hope to its fulfilment will he exert passion!) Or, hope against hope, is he just another adventurer explorer, his heart burning with thirst for gold, slaves, land and all fabulous fortune desirable to pathological greed!? ---I can think it! And Nanok is his Atehualpa if you know Cortez! Oil the gold! Alas! you know what I know: Just like the phantom dams of Kerio, the white elephant SGR, the Infrastructure Eurobond, and the rest like this ... the comprador will reduce the TTDA to just another looting enterprise. Turkana stays what it is, a native american reserve as all wealth is pillaged by settlers! Lets muddle on, toward a clean historical break with the subhuman species our rulers have become. For a morally destitute human, ruled by nothing but the passions of greed, is of no superiority to a base animal of instinct only. And surveying the top of Kenya, I register not just the morally challenged (--eh, that cannibalised chapter six!), I register mutant politicians of humanities lost to whatever forever. It is a thought, better cut them loose than go -----the holy-grail-trail of trying----- to recover their once human essence.

GLUTTONS BAD EATING MANNERSSome have always given the Handshake a class analysis. Summarised: the Handshake is an attempt by Old Capital, established, hereditary and aristocratic, to block off the advance of a dreadfully aggressive and greedy faction of the post-Moi comprador. The latter are mobilised under William Ruto and are all but on the verge of achieving state supremacy, given the original Uhuruto succession gameplan. Under the first Jubilee term, their appetite and potency to loot has been paraded with gusto. I has left no doubts about their feeding identity. They are piranhas in a famous frenzy. Such will not desist from cannibalistm, even autocannibalism. In the world of diminishing returns as MANDATORY debt refund ever consumes a larger share of the state budget, they will instinctively go where the meat is to appease their individual appetites. That is a sure bet. The honourlessness amongst thieves predicts it too. The young robber-baron upstarts of Kenya, like wild-frontier men, are truly a scary lot to their half-brothers. Talking about their unabated greed which is a throw back to settler colonialism, they are raw. Abreast with the global trend of reactionary horrors like Donald Trump and (Brazilian) Jair Bolsonaro to the top, our aspirant ----from rags to Riches---- rulers are stripped of the gentlemanly veneer of veteran thieves like the former campus don, Mwai Kibaki. Talking about state looters in Kenya, Kibaki is of course a 'historical' ---to borrow a Ugandan word associated with M7 and the nucleus of his band of original NRM guerrillas. Our new kids on the block are also bereft of hollow ambitions to respectability as was detectable in the long-standing state criminal DT Arap Moi. Arap Moi was of course the patron saint of a period of darkness in Kenya, which, talk about cheek, earned him the inverse title of professor of politics. Taking a look at the park of carcasses he left behind, and the wreckage which used to be THRIVING PARASTATALS, Moi's regime was a shark that ripped off state flesh to the bone. The treasury he left behind was bankrupt too. Kibaki and Raila and the NARC circus had to start from GROUND ZERO! Howbeit the ArapMoi mentality has come back like the swing of a pendulum. His political grandchildren, under his best son William Ruto, pay not even lip service to the (fake) nationalist exhortations of the Muthamaki Kenyatta. And why should they!? These fortunes which fundamentalise the leading political dynasties were, they know, built on pillaging that which is common to all. Futhermore, there is no agenda in Uhuru Kenyatta to pay back even a penny, to recompense the state his father looted so well. As a straightforward Mpig from the Rift Valley put it: 'sasa wewe kijana wa Kenyatta, utaitaje mtu muizi? Fikiria kwanza wewe ni mtoto wa nani!'True or false? There are moments this caravan of bandits reminds me of mounted outlaws marauding the wild west. When such, in quests seized of a gold fever, chance upon a dignified Old Indian Chief ---Red we used to say, they rush and stamp him to death for entertainment after torturing information out of him where, per chance, consignments of gold might be mined. In the same impunity have I seen the TANGATANGA OUTLAWS rash, trash and stampede dead, the political body of Raila Odinga. This is of course the Raila who by national to folklore narrative, is the father or baba of the 2nd liberation. He is also the Agwambo or patron saint of DEVOLUTION. (That is that popular phenomenon mutated to reckless plunder which has made overnight millionaires of governors and launched their families and henchmen as the new lords of the manors of the villages!) Nonsense! Ruto and his gang of dare devils retort with mocking insolence! The Old Paramount Chief is a shaman, he is a political conman, a mchawi, a mganga, a lord of poverty and a political trickster! Better burry him alive! To talk of a famous line from a banned song: he is the evil wind blowing from the West! Laden with many years of pestilence!Yes, there is dark comedy to it. It reminds me of the late voice of apartheid south Africa. It was called Radio RSA, and it used to present a weekly column called COMMENT: I used to be a regular listener. It perpetually went on to warn Black Africa not to romanticise Nelson Mandela. Nelson was of communist influence and led the ANC in its terrorist inclinations. He was a transnational criminal better left to rot at Robben Island. Otieno Nyakwamba Kajwang' used to play us some recordings. Lessons in propaganda given under trees in fishy-aired Mbita. But there was this disturbing one on Robert Mugabe. In a strong no-nonsense voice, the studio voice, likely a conviction whiteman, foretold and enumerated the future of Zimbabwe. 'It will become economic shambles, Stalinist authoritarian, tribal warfare and a social meltdown would precipitate, making the country meltdown into the abyss of the stone-age period. Robert Manage is already a disaster, if not stopped, he will be a mega disaster. South Africa has no intentions of letting similar communist-inspired monsters, the ANC of the senior terrorist Mandela, to replicate a Mugabean hell here! RSA will do whatever it takes, act to the benefit of every African, black or white or what, to that effect!'Many years later everytime we met, I and Gerald would visit that comment. The thing about it was the religious zeal and conviction of the voice. It informed of a readiness for dread combat, even suicidal combat. (in deed it took a suicidal tank battle in the south of Angola to break the myth of that white invisibility!) In Kenya however, when the likes of Waititu, Aisha Jumwa, Oscar Sudi and the rest of the TANGATANGA outaws, are the ones dubbing Raila Mchawi or a primitive relic, one senses more the lines from comedy and stand-up theatre than the conviction of the Apartheid state South Africa to stall necessary reform. The white supremacists built a few atomic bombs just in case the blacks came for their throats! But when I recently watched Oscar Sudi warning Luos with a reference to their supposedly uncut d.icks and flshy suits, what I felt was pity for William Ruto! REMEMBERING SIR EDUARD CLAY, FORMER UK AMBASSADOR TO KENYAIt was Sir Eduard who, back in 2004, in an anecdote worthy of a MONY PYTHON SATIRE, first confronted us with the table manners of our elite. Remember So much for Mwai Kibaki's professorship at economics But then, when he did his 'RSA' Commentary Sir Clay was denounced 'an incorrigible liar and an enemy of Kenya'. A bit like Miguna Miguna today is denounced by top politicians and bureaucrats employed by Arab sheikhs to smuggle Congo's bullion. The next question is where we go to from here: what is to be done!? The first thing is to prepare for the bankruptcy of the state and a new round of strategic adjustment programmes as debtors take control of futures to secure theirs. It is the strain of the necessary expropriation which will be the last straw which broke the camel's back, snapped the legendary patience of sheep. The most intelligent and common sense things which work can never be done before a profound crisis. Otherwise the radical reduction of corruption and the re-routing of the recovered booty to refire the cash-stripped public services would be the do. But this requires the tangatangas and kielewekes to be shut up in jail. We aint there yet. But by and by we crawl towards it. NB:

THE COLLAPSE, AND COLLAPSED PRESIDENCYHow do we explain the collapse of the Uhuru presidency? But there is first a need to qualify this diagnosis, collapse. The Uhuru candidature was of course a front for the Kartel. This is the cartel controlling a giant stake in the Kenyan economy. The primary movers are both local and external parties. It is therefore a conglomerate of interests. But the Uhuru project was also a background attempt by Western interests to regain influence if not contain Kenya's 'Eastward' drift. ( Othayan Don Kibaki put it laconically, but his 'looks' unnerved many ---should we say--- traditional partners instead of earlier masters!?) The locals of the cartel have done very well in the short term. They have looted unabated, they have cannibalised the treasury unchecked, and they have continued to boast their impunity. High in deed do they fly the flag of unchallenged piracy. As an icing on the cream, like a sick signature of fascist domination clinicised in a Pasolini film, our local dominator's (or camp guards) imported and force fed Kenyans on the poisonous sugar. They bask totally in a divinity, and an invisibility that fears no consequence whatsoever. (That is the satarised Pasolini scene where the guards sh!t on neatly-set dishes, then the mentally broken are invited to fall to the drolls, as culinary pudding.) ---MANJA! And they do with pious gratitude.Now think out why that girl in the film wouldn't represent Wanjiku today? But you will be forgiven if the thought is too scary to think further! Anyway, our locals ---modern day nyapara's--- have fed well. You can reference the open-source catalogue of Jubilee scandals and scroll down to the summation of the amounts pillaged. It has been quite a meal in a short period. It has been unparalleled gluttony according to John Githong'o. There is even an official figure referencing a quarter in which Henry Rotich was borrowing ksh, 2 billion a day to feed the nest of Creosote's. If you know that pet Monty Python monster. That last line you can connect to this one, on the profitability and performance metrics for the award of extras, to top bankers.They beat Swiss bankers I tell you. Here is more These bankers, believe it or not, are, by this model, more illustrious, more industrious, more business formidable than SAFARICOM's go-getters! If you went to schools where they teach thinking, you are in trouble. Obviously these banker CEO's are parasites, ticks clogging the jugulars of the Kenyan treasury. Wither the Kenyan economy when the private sector, which includes small, small and medium scale rackets, are starved or cash or, if offered, then at loan-shark rates. And who does the CBK statistics say is the MOTOR of the Kenyan economy!? But what does Rotich do with the money, the debt he saddles unborn generations with? Of course he launders it, that is he steals it ----by paying it out to fantom dams for instance; inflated land compensation rates for the SGR; other elaborate and weird schemes of theft by waste and ofbuscation ... etc etc. Again one can just reference the open-source data on the corruption scandals under Rotich. Since the man at the helm at the treasury is from Harvard, I conclude he is carrying out this mess as deliberate policy. Rotich is too clever to ruin the Kenyan economy by mistake. He knows exactly what he is doing. He is easily a demolition expert. ----You know, like the good doctor killing you to inherit your wife or to earn more money from the drug company whose experiments he runs for a bonus. I am not too sure Ouru Kenyatta is that deep, but I am sure those who run the Kenyatta fortune are deep enough to be running the highly-willing tool, Rotich. From the perspective of the gluttons then, the Uhuru presidency has been a godsend. An unrivalled success. A most profitable venture. But I talked of a collapse! So WTF am I talking about!? Right you guessed. The other side of the coin. ---The national interest is not an abstract concept. To maintain the myth of popular legitimacy, successive elections have had to be rigged. The price has been an escalation in social disintegration. This discohesion brought the nation to the narrative of divorce, a precipice. More about that elsewhere. What did Ouru's oath of office entail? The usual rigmarole of course. Serve the nation with diligence and integrity; defend the peoples' interest ----not force-feed Wanjiku his sh!t as it were; wage war on terrorism; enhance national aspirations and take care of economic development (even if this means annexing Somali's natural resources in colonial expansionism, like Uganda on Migingo!). Wonderful talk then, the Big Four or Five, legacy monuments. Unfortunately it is all talk and no walk. If we did not already have a history of good intentions ---eg irrigation schemes and dams for food sufficiency----- turning to naught because of the pathological greed of a run-away looters regime, a report like below would called a windfall. OF BIG LEGACY Every fool knows how it is done. The wheel needs no new discovery effort, merely innovative application to particularly challenging terrains. We can 'parallelise' our thrift with our money and other scarce resources, against other experiences which accomplished what was to be done, up tempo. We can make a table, and a control table, and adopt score cards for comparison, to rate where we are. ---Efficiency, wastage, performance, accounting standards, meeting set targets. Side A: this is how Germany, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia ----endless list of already discovered wheels actually------ did and met their WIRTSCHAFTSWUNDER! 1. There is no penny the politicians could steal from the people they didn't. The Marshal Loan, like theUhurto's Eurobond, Konrad Adenauer and Ludwig Erhad's treasury couldn't account for. ..... Up to 10. I think you get the picture. These things are no brainier. They are not rocket science. Every human instinctively recognises what is to be done with thieves. SIDE B. This is how Kenya under Uhuruto + Handshake does it to achieve some WUNDER result or Big Five target, or vision 2030. So I will say, the world is full of fools, but complete idiots are rare. Otherwise in the struggle for the fittest species, humans would be extinct by now. But we are a fighting race, a war-making species. We can take and eat a lot of sh!t from Lords and gods and deities wandered far from their covenants with the people, but eventually comes a day when tempers are lost never to be refound. Therefore every Kenyan however an idiot or a fool plus illiterate recognises this truth as instinctively as any human recognises his or her humiliation, there has been no WUNDER been happening. There has been thievery and thievery. There is no 'wunder infrastructure' for the millennium goals -----even the new CBC which professor Magoha is all Alpha Gorilla in a chest thump act all around town, looks much more of a non-starter than a competence redux or rebase. Yeah, nothing like even a half 'economic wunder' gonna be happening if we continue as now. That sure is a collapse, of the nation. CONTINUED.

ENTER THE HANDSHAKE TO ARREST THE ROT(cont) The handshake is an obvious-not-so-new scam to bridge social tension. It is a top-down parley from those who, in their minds, own the people wherefore their word will be law, you know, like a Fatwah. ---Cease fire! Let there be peace! (and there was peace and ceasefire!) But even amongst the ruling political caste itself, their would-be unity has collapsed into TANGATANGA vs KIELEWEKE. And behind the scenes it is increasingly bare knuckles. The Handshake with its secretive clauses, and not too-secretive referendum plots, has only served to intensify paranoia at the top and cynicism in the middle ranks. The top are busy hedging bets. The bottom ranks continue to sleep on hungry to half-full belly's. No talk was ever going to fill up the material deficit. The suffering masses already have enough hot-air (or consolation) talk: from The Church. ---Miracles do happen there, like feeding five thousand from six fish and loaves. Be it impossible to repeat in the reality of the slums, it remains important to preach and believe such feats from the lord,; it is a powerful depoliticiser, a powerful demobiliser of anger which otherwise would face the top. The good Lord will never forget his flock. In this respect, DP Ruto's churchliness is a sure winner. Of course it is a cynical Machiavellian ABC, but as Kenya intellectually implodes, fails to make ends meet, and shrinks into delusional thought, opts for fictitious solutions to material reality, grants the clergy an increasing sway over minds, there has to emerge a supreme political dealer to make a political career of the trend. --A master illusionist. That man is William Ruto. Of course he is a charlatan, but religion is in fact a better place for charlatans than politics. In politics, one day the financial truth must be faced: that is, can the material bills be paid or not? A state can run out of cash, and the government out of the ability to incur more debt to meet its financial obligations, mundane stuff like paying soldiers (and other so-called recurrent expenditures). That day, forbid, even Almighty God does not save a ruler who only yesterday was heralded divine. The real play field to watch therefore, is always the treasury. That is where the game is. And that is why, at least in Kenya today, one has to mind read Rotich and (CBK) Njoroge. They are the official barometres of payability. There is no incident in history, no single instance in the history of political man and his institutions, where God ever balanced a budget. Kings have awarded themselves divine powers in history, but no finance minister ever has. It is important to know why finance men invaraiably suffer from such an inferiority complex, historically speaking. So, Handshake aside, Tangatanga and Kieleweke aside, how are Rotich and Njoroge paying their bills to date? And how credit-worthy do they continue to be!? Simple, they are at debt: it is debt, and more debt to pay old debt. As for investments for economic expansion, only crumbles remain after the debt clean-out, or obligations. It is thus for the likes of Microsoft and Huawei to invest their cash in technological parks in Kenya for their own (and hopefully our) futures. --Rotich and Njoroge are not in that game. (The game of research and job opportunities for skilled technical Kenyans and other potential). Rotich and Njoroge are busy doing Eurobond road-shows to find cash to pay Mpigs their latest hike in house allowance, car allowance, if not meet the state obligations to conmen who supplied fictitious products and services to the government, and at inflated rates at that. No, no amount of God, no amount of religious piety and submission is gonna help correcting institutionalised financial scams. But for a while rich benefactors from abroad, minding their own interests, making their own cost-and-benefit evaluations, will sink their capital in Kenya, until they too are forced by economic truths to change the rules of the game. (that was a hint: China tightening the purse on the SGR extension to Kisumu). The religious binge which is the seeming addiction of Kenya's politicians is thus an irrational reaction to a very material problem. An unfolding crisis. It is a shell-shock reaction of mental withdrawal, flight from reality. William Ruto can donate all the money he has as TYTHE to the Church; Uhuru Kenyatta can chair all the national prayer breakfast extravaganzas he likes, but it would have been more prudent of them to have made sure Kenya power bosses did not install fake and substandard transformers nor use SUBSTANDARD POLES in the much-vaunted Rural Electrification campaign. That stuff will all have to be redone of course. There is nothing as embarrassing to industry as intermittent power and constant black-outs from the grid. Farmers finding out they have been duped into fake fertiliser is another one, so too combat zone soldiers realising their material is fake and them, sitting ducks, Yap, that is the other story of El Adde.NB: The kind of massing of forces the al-shabaab had to participate to inviscerate the El-Adde garrison could have been spied by a few drones of less than 5km range. With the DoD tight-lipped, it is to external sources and local leaks one must refer to explain why such basic commodities were not in operation. The answer is as easy as why there are no drugs in government hospitals, even when they have been paid for by the tax payer.No, no God was going to save a Kenyan battalion from greed at the top. Nor is there a God who will save Kenya from the ravages of corruption. Let us have them prayer days every day, even five times a day daily like the best of the Muslims, still no WASH-WASH miracles will happen at the treasury. We sow corruption, we will continue to reap failure, and ultimately disaster. (WASH-WASH used to be a money-doubling scheme, like the famous tale from Onitsha market by Achebe)Today is the upteenth Madaraka day. We will definitely listen to more life-support speeches meant to enlengthen the longevity of the looting conglomerate. It is a day for nationalists, and young careerists with secret ambitions to the finance ministry, to take stock of the future and make some ruthless decisions. Vermin will only take the country so far, and then the abyss. Some one has to come to the rescue. If no local, then Chinaman then. Enter Trump's dagger to Huawei's throat. Lets pray, to make it a day! Continued.

Continued: FIRST THE GOOD NEWS
(A 2019 MADARAKA DAY SPECIAL POST IN PARTS)
The good news for the traditional Kartel of national parasites ----and the conglomerate of new, local looters called the Council of Governors, is that the credit binge has not run out yet. There is more in the pot where it comes from; and not least, beware a generosity trick. This is in the sense of giving a man enough rope to hang himself with, there to have him exactly where you want him (eg for one or other nefarious scheme of yours, for instance inheriting his oil fields, estate and harem. That is how the international game of thrones works.)
Both China (via Uncle EXIM --The Bank), and the financial banks and markets of the West feeding off the Bonanza of free cash called Quantitative Easing from the ECB and the FED, are locked in a duel which tolerates no first blinkers. Think of today's escalating trade war between the current Nero in DC and the Qing of Peking. They have money to waste, or at least think they do, competing who sh!ts a bigger mound of stench. Boys will be boys, even if they are emperors.
But the global debt pile is already toxic. For instance, there are already enough American economists themselves who think the USA is --resigned to sovereign default----- in no state to pay up her debt, unless they seize somebody's sovereign wealth, like Venezuela's and Iranian oil wells.
That (kind of Trumpian gangsterism) means international debt is like an iceberg the titanic of world economy already hit. We are in the conflict zone as income disparities and global inequality rates cause systemic political turbulence. The Brexit mess of Britain which has prematurely put the boot up Teresa May's arse and fukt up her ambitions, is an example of such turbulence. There therefore is a correction coming, and for some countries it will be forced austerity. This will include the auction of the proverbial family silver (in this case natural assets and public resources). This means partial if not total loss of sovereignty, as was witnessed with Greece when she went bankrupt during the Eurocrisis. In any case, even as I write this, there are disputations as whether national sovereignty ------in the light of the blitzkrieg global operations of finance capital------ still has meaning to any country outside the Big Two.
This raises the intriguing question: what are national politicians all about then? (and what role is apportioned the lesser governments in this contemporary political economy?)
The answer, thinking of the annual DAVOS FANFARE, is, in my considered opinion, the role assigned The Church as the industrial bourgeoisie overthrew the aristocracy: 'keep the people sleepy headed with that opium of yours, religion, while we pillage the world and transform her in our own image, greed. We will then be moved to shower thee, O men of the Book, with the benevolence listed to pets.'
Our politicians and governments are trading illusions on the people under them. (you know, like drug dealers selling you that high!)
THE REJECTED STONE WHICH BECAME THE CORNER!
It is a comedy of the absurd. Imagine it is the arch conservative Moses Mudavadi of all people who has been croaking around as the TEL-TEL bird, harbinger of even worse economic times ahead, if certain steps are not taken. MDVD is a weakly and minor comprador, a certified menial and indecisive footrag even before push comes to shove. He did not take his own medicine when he was finance minister. True, may be he was young and impressionable then, and today he is older and wiser and would do different. But the way he was duped (by Kibaki handlers) into ditching Raila in 2013, and then missing the oath in 2018, I hold my judgement secure. KANU Trash beyond recycling.
And so imagine the comical horror of this KANU trash playing the Cassandra of Troy role today! He had some certified figures which I posted on the CBK-Njoroge thread yesterday. There were about the daily, to monthly, to quarterly debt uptakes by the GoK, and nothing much to show for it. ---Wah! What happened to the mild, weakly MDVD, the one who would never utter a bad word on another!? When born-and-bread weaklings grow claws and guts to maul, I get nervous. That is a desperate situation, they are cornered, and NO, no room for retreat. For once, attack is the only option. That is really a scary Mudavadi. But worse, a scary Kenya: Old traditionally mild men breathing fire in their political death beds!
Man, that is a curse worse than Atwoli's on Echesa!
OF UNEQUAL TREATIES.
So Mudavadi's deathbed cry forced me to this: NANKING.
NEXT.

continued: THE CURSE OF UNEQUAL TREATIES
We of the Western chronicles know of them as the treaties of Nanking. Further East, just like the Vietnam War which no Vietnamese ever heard of, they don't talk of the treaties of Nanking. They teach of the Unequal treaties -1,2,3,4.
Musalia Mudavadi triggered my memory.
Earlier on, a later Mudavadi, Goldenberg secrets aside, slam-fisted Uhuru Kenyatta on his about-turn, to secrecy, concerning the concession of the Mombasa Port as collateral to a loan. That is the story of the string of mortgaged ports as beads on the new silk road, at sea. Mudavadi wanted to know the full list of what else Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto had secretly mortgaged to whomsoever, and, between the lines, if this was perhaps the secret to their acquittal at the Hague, sometime ago.
Then must one have heard of Nanking and the unequal treaties. And, importantly, how Chinese history records the circumstance and characterises the epoch and the rulers then. Shanghai became the 'who-re of the orient', an epithet which, considering the recent spat over a video game of the same name, still steps on many a toe of national pride in that part of the world.
In short, Britain by military might forced the reduced divine emperor of China to turn over her people into opium addicts for British merchandise grown in India. The emperor would also cede China's major ports to 'free trade', that is opium importation without levy nor any other hindrance; and, as for HongKong, O Hong Kong, the enclave became the (Dubai-like air transport nexus?) clearing house of opium derivatives -(that is like the New York Stock exchange is the clearing house of all hot commodities/companies). Business roared for Britain, China wasted away like many a niggah in an American drug ghetto.
If the Chinese are that sensitive to their history of UNEQUAL TREATIES, then their negotiators, no doubt schooled in Chinese nationalism, in forcing Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto to mortgage Mombasa, the jewel of the East African coast, knew exactly the depths of humiliation they were fishing. Unless, like the British at Nanking, who believed the oriental was a lesser being to whom the issues of pride are lost, the Chinese of Exim bank suffered a superiority complex and thought a ZANJ like Ouru and Ruto are lesser grades of humanity to whom issues of national dignity are lost forever.
It is a thought.
I should repeat this I think: the Queen of England did not see an equal human in the emperor of China. Donald Trump does not see equals in the Mullah's of Tehran.
You catch!?
BACK TO MUDAVADI AND HIS DEATH-BED GROANS
I do not have to re-invent the wheel. I can parallelise when national sensitivities go livid.
THE CHINESE PEOPLE STAND UP!
That is what Mao said in 1949 as he launched the PRC. The P for peoples.
It was a statement with a deep and deadly echo.
Next.
