REFERENDUM: PUNDA NACHOKA SANA, PUNGUZA MZIGO NOW!
EEE, Sirikali yawa! sirikali wewe in psychopath, husikii wala huoni uchungu ya punda! Ei, sirikali yawa, sirikali! --that is a ringtone I heard today!
So
Un Ouru gi Raila gi Ruto uwinjo, maler punda nachoka sana, sana. Hilo jambo la Okuru Okot ni kweli kabisa. Ata kule juu Mungu amepiga seyi, haki ya Mungu, na kuweka amuri ya FINITO: Mzigo itapunguzua, punda imechoka. By order of heaven!
It can be postponed, and likely willbe; but only so long. The donkey will simply buckle under, and that is a bankrupt situation.
I have not met anyone speaking their own minds who does not agree the Kenyan Punda imechoka. But the few dissenters, as soon as they posture, too reveal a lack of inner conviction, nay, like the usual parrots on the party majira, they cut a picture of sheep taught what to bleat. But deep down they know, the days are numbered. Punda imechoka.
THE POLITICAL CLASS CLOSES RANKS.
OUCH

Punguza Mzigo is against devolution, should be avoided by all means- Senator Kajwang
Otiende Amollo: Punguza Mzigo must fall
So the tanks are closed at the top. The ONGEZA MIZIGO GANG are out to have a party on top of the donkey! They say, that is the way the cookie crumbles. But I think theirs is the delusion of parasites who never saw a day's work. n---Mzigo? Which Mzigo!?
Ouru Kenyatta has more money than he knows what to do with. Watch him poison himself with overweight. William Ruto give the phrase Mr. MoneyBags a new height in meaning. See him donate ten millions cash to Churches. Weta just fresh from swindling millions off the now one-less-wifed Makhtoum of Dubai. Courtesy of fake gold.
Kenyan parliamentarians are the envy of the world. Their perks, mileage allowances, entertainment bonuses, benchmark fully paid five-star trips to anywhere on the planet for as long as they wish, not to mention sky-high salaries, not even CEO's of big profitable companies would dream of.
To such people as we call Mpigs, PUNGUZA MIZIGO correctly sounds like a DEATH-KNELL. It is of course. ---But in how many tolls is the question!
NB: Watching the humiliation of Isaac Ruto during the whole Laboso funeral service and interment, I think this is the vacuum he must fill: run away with punguza Mzigo, sell it like mad to the people.
There is something of a softie visible in Ekuru Aukot. Turned into a punching bag by Raila, Ouru Ruto and their pack of political thugs and hired hitmen, I fear Ekuru may just piss in his pants.
I don't see him having the balls it takes for instance in a studio debate, to stare William Ruto down and dismiss him with: for your land theft where that Hotel is built, you should be in Kamiti, or under restrictions like Waititu on bail, not here bandying words with me! Punguza Mzigo also means jailing thieves, thief!
I am sure tht his hit power far beyond Dr. Ekuru's abilities. Neither can he threaten Raila Odinga with the new KEBS lab report on the maize Agwambo imported ----cancerous! Nor can he dismiss Ouru to go home with his cabinet of thieves, including his pugnacious protege Matiang'i, conflicted over Ruaraka land scams.
No, Dr. Ekuru is a gentleman and boardroom intellectual. He wouldn't have the guts for hand to hand, man to man combat, daily around the country for months on end. May be he has it, but I haven't seen glimpses of it yet: a killer's grit. I am just seeing a playboy. A child unaware he has pulled a loaded gun on the mob's capo's! The Kartel's fundamentals.
This is a battle for the survival of a political infrastructure. Ekuru is introducing revolution through the backdoor. --Why do you think a man of Otiende Amollo's intellect would insist PUNGUZA MIGIZO must be CRUSHED!?
Only yesterday in the run to the oat of Raila as people's president, were the peoples assemblies designated to be the centrepieces of the peoples democracy. Today Otiende Amollo, the designated peoples republic attorney General, cheers a court order that banned the debate on Punguza Mzigo at the MCA's. What spooked Amollo into such an intellectual collapse!?
But the answer to that would necessarily be a LUO PIVOT post!
Punda imechoka, lakini akili ya wakili pia imechoka!

THE POLITICAL CLASS CLOSES RANKS.
Political class would rather have Building Bridges than Punguza Mzigo referendum, analysts say
July 21, 2019
KHRC Executive Director George Kegoro (left) cautioned that the political establishment will seek to sabotage the Punguza Mzigo Initiative while constitutional lawyer Kamotho Waiganjo (right) says Thirdway Alliance will need multiple skills to cross the county assembly threshold/CFM
By LABAN WANAMBISI, NAIROBI, Kenya, Jul 21 - Debate over the push for a referendum continues to divide public opinion after the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) verified over 1.2 million signatures of registered voters presented in support of the Punguza Mzigo Initiative sponsored by Thirdway Alliance party.
Legal experts say the Thirdway Alliance leader Ekuru Aukot who finished in third place in the 2017 Fresh Presidential Election has his work cut out for him to ensure at least 24 of the 47 county assemblies in the country support the referendum Bill.
Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) Executive Director George Kegoro cautioned Aukot that the political establishment who were caught flatfooted by the IEBC announcement on verification of signatures in support of the Punguza Mzigo Initiative on Thursday.
The Aukot-led initiative had met the constitutional threshold of 1 million signatures for presentation of the proposals for the amendment to the county assemblies.
It seeks to have the number of lawmakers reduced from 416 to 147.
Kegoro points out that by killing the initiative at the county assembly the political class will have effectively eliminated the option of the country having to hold a national referendum on the Aukot's proposed amendments on the Constitution Kenya promulgated in 2010.
"The possibility of a referendum will change the nature of politics. In particular, the rumoured referendum by the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) will now be dancing on a plan that the Punguza Mzigo has established. One possibility is that the political establishment will seek to put Punguza in its place by engineering county assemblies to reject the proposals."
"There will have to be trade-offs with counties that are currently sulking after a season of hardball politics over national revenue sharing," KHRC Executive Director adds.

Constitutional lawyer Kamotho Waiganjo on is part says Aukot will need multiple skills to cross this county assembly threshold.
Waiganjo notes that the Punguza Mizigo's waterloo comes with its attempt to remove all nominated seats in parliament and county assemblies and deals with the gender issue by requiring that each county elects a man and a woman to Parliament.
"It fundamentally goes against the 'one man- one vote principle'. Kakamega County with its almost 2 million population will have the same number of representatives as Lamu County with its 100,000 residents. This is grossly inequitable. A more prudent approach would have been to go the America way and allocate seats on the basis of population, at least in the National Assembly while leaving the County based seats to the Senate," he said.
The former Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution Commissioner points to the initiative's proposal to address the ballooning cost of maintaining elected representatives by fixing remuneration of MPs to Sh300,000 and the President to Sh500,000 as another reason why the political class would want to sabotage Aukot's push.
"Kenyans will be united in supporting this proposal. Constitutions hardly ever fix such salaries by numbers but this proposal responds to our unique circumstances where MPs will use all tricks in the book to enhance their salaries," Waiganjo explained

ODM dismisses 'Punguza Mzigo' referendum
Thursday July 25 2019
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has rejected Thirdway Alliance Party's Punguza Mzigo referendum bill arguing that it has failed to address structure of government and public debt.
ODM politicians have been fronting proposal to have the Executive expanded to include the position of a powerful prime minister.
President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga have also hinted at having an expanded Executive that will accommodate all communities.

President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga have also hinted at having an expanded Executive that will accommodate all communities.
OUCH
A section of Kenyans on Twitter have called on Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party Secretary General Edwin Sifuna to resign from the party.
This follows a vow Sifuna took while appearing on a local media station that he would resign if former presidential aspirant Ekuru Aukot's party, Thirdway Alliance Kenya, managed a one million threshold required to invoke a referendum in its Punguza Mzigo initiative.
"I can guarantee you and I want to bet in front of this country, if this Thirdway Alliance is able to raise these signatures, I will resign as the secretary-general of ODM," Sifuna vowed.
He said this on October 19, 2018, during an interview on KBC TV, where he was being interviewed alongside the party's SG Fredrick Okango.
Sifuna argued that if ODM party failed in its Okoa Kenya campaign, it was impossible for Aukot's campaign to get the required minimum signatures judging from the 'big' party's experience.

However, in a statement on Thursday evening, the Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) confirmed that Aukot's initiative was supported by a total of 1,222,541 registered voters.

'It wasn't me': ODM's Sifuna now says on vow to resign if Aukot hits 1M signatures
By Citizen Reporter For Citizen Digital Published on: July 19,
So, what does Mr. Sifuna have to say about it, exactly what you expected. He tweeted on Friday morning; "It wasn't me. I was misquoted. I don't recall. I said re-sign not resign. I would rather die. I've never been on KBC. I don't know who Third Way are Take your pick! This is a WIND ASSISTED and pyrrhic "victory" but all the best to @eaukot @fokango and their #PunguzaMizigoBill2019."

Mudavadi Under Fire for Dismissing Punguza Mzigo Initiative
Amani National Congress party leader Musali Mudavadi has found himself on the receiving end of social media users after dismissing calls for a referendum under Third Way Alliance Punguza Mzigo Initiative.
Musalia who was speaking at a church function in Siaya county on Sunday termed the initiative as a case of misplaced priority terming the war on corruption as the main issue Kenya should concentrate on at the moment.

"Let our focus be on the war against corruption. That is where we will reduce this Mzigo. We should reduce excessive borrowings, relevant authorities should follow closely, repossess all grabbed and stolen public money then we will be able to reduce the burden" Said Mudavadi

Wiper gives BBI ultimatum as it opposes Punguza Mzigo
Wainaina Wambu 29th Jul 2019
The Wiper Democratic Movement has hit out at the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) for taking too long to present its proposals for a referendum push.
This emerged after the party yesterday voiced its strong opposition to the Punguza Mzigo Bill that was recently tabled in all 47 county assemblies. The bill is seeking a constitutional change after passing the required one million signatures.
Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka (pictured) accused the BBI of working at a "snail's speed" and gave it a 60-day ultimatum to present its proposals that it has been collecting across the country for over a year now.
"We are putting pressure on BBI. They should wake up and give the country their proposals. The Punguza Mzigo is hoodwinking Kenyans and we blame the BBI for walking at a snail speed," said Kalonzo.

Otiende Amollo: Punguza Mzigo must fall
On Wednesday, a court in Nairobi barred assemblies from discussing the bill until a case filed by a member of the public is heard and determined.
Aukot has singled out opposition leader Raila Odinga, Ford Kenya boss Moses Wetangula, Aden Duale and Kalonzo Musyoka for allegedly being a stumbling block to his Bill.
"Raila, Kalonzo, Aden Duale and Moses Wetangula are on record telling Kenyans to reject Punguza Mzigo proposals as we await the ongeza mzigo proposals. We are now more than ever convinced that they are the sponsors of the frivolous petitions against the bill in court," said Aukot.
