I always wondered why they spared him during the crackdown on Mungiki...he must have looked 'useful' for future escapades...now it seems he just wont tow the line and has become a liability to Uhuru and Co... Jail is where he belongs...their was no reform in him he had only taken a sabatical and would soon resort to his old tactics...Mungiki cannot be controlled...hope he spills the beans on Uhuru et al regarding PEV because at this rate i Doubt he will live to see the elections...live by the gun and die by the gun... So it would be fine with you if he had been bumped off earlier or if this happens any time soon? That betrays a cynical perspective which condones the state of lawlessness Kenya finds itself in. And condoning that awful state can only make matters worse.. I certainly am no fan of Njenga and I would like to see all those who were responsible for the ruthless killings by the Mungiki brought to justice. And there is little doubt in my mind that this includes senior politicians who used the Mungiki as an instrument in their treacherous games. But there may be a hitch in relation to the murder you expect. What does Njenga know about these senior politicians? And how can they be sure that his secrets will die with him? It is quite likely that Njenga has hedged his bets and has given instructions that in case he dies alln these dirty secrets will be exposed for all to see. So perhaps the politicians are better off with Njenga alive? Would they rather suffer him than have their secrets in the public domain? Your guess is as good as mine. @ Furaha I will ask you a hypothetical question...suppose you enter into a business arrangement with Maina Njenga and he on a whim decides not to satisfy his end of the bargain? What next? If you love your life you call it a day if you continue on your pursuit for justice you will have a closed casket funeral after his boys have finished getting medieval on you... The justice you ask for is noble but these Mungiki folks live by a different creed they do not respect our courts and this was even before the extra-judicial killings subjected on them. Killing to them is just another daily chore...what they did during PEV in Naivasha (paid), most Nairobi slums (pro bono) and prior to PEV in Central province/Eastland’s/Nairobi Slums (Job description) was despicable. As we have seen after the fact politicians were right in the middle of what they were doing and even abetted them. Until our leaders are responsible enough and actually believe and abide by the law they have sworn to protect... I say kill them (Mungiki) and kill em all! Because our politics is corrupt and our police force is inept sometimes even when not compromised by bribes. Have you ever been to a criminal court case in Kenya? Sometimes even when the evidence is clear cut a hardened criminal walks because the arresting officer was not prepared and folded like a cheap suit under cross-examination...but you know what? the cops know this (that their colleagues are inept)and rarely does that suspect live for long... No one wants to say this but the police/judiciary doesn’t have the manpower (ethical and trained),the money and the resources to ensure law and order for its citizens and it’s getting worse...criminals on remand in Kamiti will comfortably threaten you and get out on a technicality to make good their threats and it happens on a daily basis...go to Kibera,Mukuru kwa Njenga e.t.c. and hear tales that would shock you to the core...complete breakdown of law and order...perfect seeds for Mungiki’s growth... I would love to believe in the rule of law but I know better...doesn’t mean I will break the law either just that I have seen enough evidence to make me cynical whenever it is mentioned in certain circles...as for you questions...I think Njenga knows enough to make him fear for his life everything else is speculation as you have rightly pointed out but he is no saint either and most likely has enough blood on his hands, I doubt he ever added value to anyone’s life...

Who exactly is this Elliot Wilson? I quick google search only spits out the above article, maybe he has an ‘accomplished’ history of ‘investigative journalism’ but this surely isn’t one of them...
Kamalet has better posts here on Jukwaa regarding ICC as a political court, he should have taken the retainer instead or better yet fill in Mr Wilson on, at the very least why Uhuru Kenyatta finds himself at the Hague...he sent himself their...
He however asks a valid question...
There is simply no personal, practical or legal reason why Ocampo and his inner circle could not have gathered witness statements directly, on the ground, in Kenya.
But precedes it with this presumption
Is Kenya similarly dangerous? Prince William thought not, when he chose to propose to the now Duchess of Cambridge on Kenya's rolling grasslands.
YES Mr Wilson Kenya is dangerous especially if you are a Kenyan…

Here is what I overheard in a noisy, crowded BAR a few days ago :Some people were recently smuggled into the country via Tanzania using diplomatic passports. Foreign Minister Prof. Ongeri is said to have facilitated them. Their mission was to kill Prime Minister Raila Odinga in the hotel (in Mombasa) he was staying in. Apparently after his death, to mollify the aggrieved Luos, the forces behind the assassination would throw their full weight behind Raphael Tuju. Unfortunately for the plotters, some patriotic members of NSIS intercepted and recorded a planning meeting to carry out this dastardly deed. They later passed a copy of their recording to members of the diplomatic community who then passed the tape on to Raila who then leaked it to Midiwo.Could the NSIS personnel embedded here in Jukwaa confirm whether this rumour that I have just mongered IDLE or actually spot on the actual facts? I heard a very different version but what I do know FOR SURE is the Tobiko one has nothing whatsover to do with this Jakoyo one...that one was just a bunch of thugs & to the uninitiated do not ever use the southern bypass (btw Langata rd & Ngong rd) even during the day unless you want to make an acquintance with some ATM bandits... IMHO this Jakoyo business is just hot air and it has suceeded immensely abit like the dossier for the Uhuru folks... I'm no NSIS incase anyone is asking.... Emali, Are you introducing a new twist to this saga? If i read you correctly you are implying that the actual target was Tobiko. The 'revelation' by Midiwo i think occurred in the same weekend Tobiko's car was attacked. I know some people have not been comfortable with the DPP. But is this what you are pointing at or i am wrong? @ Jeff No I am not introducing a new twist,what I meant was Tobiko's car being fired upon had no connection to Tobiko directing the police to Investigate Midiwo's assasination claims...the first part where I say 'I heard a very different version' I am reffering to Oloo's account of what he overheard in a pub... what I heard is as sensational as Oloo's only more dramatic & didn't see the need to post it because I don't believe a word of it...

I believe we can attempt to find the answer to your thread right here on Jukwaa starting with this thread and the second post by Jakaswanga... jukwaa.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=6660&page=1This is another insurmountable hurdle when leading actors do not trust their people with the truth…Then leading to this thread by one of the three most influential and respected posters on Jukwaa Adongo being guilty of the above statement on such an important event in our history… jukwaa.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=3411&page=3 Now as to what actually happened before or during the coup I have always taken the fifth…Then we go to this thread on historical land injustices, its probably is the most informative/engaging in Jukwaa history by Job… jukwaa.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=4705&page=1Where are the patriotic Kenyans tired of business as usual?We make a stop on this one on the credentials of Rubia & Matiba as second liberators… jukwaa.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=4278&page=1As you have seen, people have different take on Matiba and Rubia.I put those threads up not to apportion blame but to show how much we can learn from ourselves, as John McNamara once said ‘you can’t change human nature’, we have been failed by our leaders and our politics has not helped but we are still a very young country and for us to move forward we will have to be as brutally honest with ourselves like Malcolm X was in his biography… Patience is needed hopefully we get better leadership in 2013 and four more Gitobus we will eventually get their…

I wonder why some guys would want to trivialise this grave matter instead of treating it with the seriousness that it deserves. For one, Imanyara is not the type of guy that can 'cook' such stories. If you are doubting the extent to which the Govt is protecting Uhuru's kingship ask yourself why they had to cancel the planned rival Limuru meeting whose agenda was to offer alternative voice to Uhuru's. Martha Karua and others have been warned of dire consequences before if they don't toe Uhuru's line. It only leaves one wondering what these cabals of this table banging Uhuru could do were he to become president, bringing memories of Jomo's reign as president. That is why I had said elsewhere that we need to be afraid, VERY afraid. Very well put...Uhuru has steadily deteriorated in the last five years or so to the point he is unrecognizable from 2002...his support mirrors the man himself...

@ Mzee When caught with your hand in the cookie jar either just accept or ignore the thread altogether it’s a much better prospect than this meandering tale you call a rejoinder...again this is what you wrote... THE ONLY WAY TO STOP RAILA FROM TAKING HIS RIGHTFUL PLACE AT STATEHOUSE IS TO PHYSICALLY ELIMINATE HIMThat was the part of your thread I took issue with... Emali,This is a classic example of how a stated proposition can be understood two different but opposite ways; one right the other one wrong with the latter usually being a function of failure to be objective in the interpretation in addition to being clouded with preconceived notions of what the author or utterer may have intended as its meaning. When I read the proposition you have highlighted from Mzee, I understood it to mean that, having been there fighting for reforms in the country from the very beginning and having repeatedly proven his leadership ability, and Kenyans having given him the nod in 2007 only to be denied by Kibaki, Raila has not only proven he is the man to beat, there is no evidence that any of the men running against him can beat him at the ballot so in all likelihood he is headed to State House unless stopped by other than a fair and open election. I did not take the proposition to mean Raila's being re-elected as president is a birth-right; far from it and as Mzee says above, such claims are being made by the likes of Uhuru but even they and their supporters are quickly beginning to realize this is, after all, not true. @ Omwega I know you mean well and share Mzee’s ideology and passion for Raila but that first paragraph was unnecessary si kwa ubaya but you love over analysis, you could write a four page essay on the color orange! I understood perfectly what Mzee meant... Njonjo once said to even imagine the death of the president is treasonable, Mzee seems to be doing the same with Raila 2013( and you endorsing him) with the consequences of a Raila loss being unimaginable...dangerous kool aid drinking right there I hope he wins but if he doesn’t Kenya itaendelea...

While I agree that Raila is best suited out of the current crop of pretenders to be Kenya’s next PORK I find your presumption rather comical...Raila in 2007 had his best chance to PORK but strong forces aligned to prevent that...what would the margin of his victory have been then? Keeping in mind both PNU & ODM stole...maybe between 50,000 to 250,000 I don’t know and I doubt anyone does but what we can hypothesize is that it would not have been significant... Fast-forward to today the biggest ethnic voting block GEMA is still anti Raila and the Rift Valley may not be as pro-Raila as it was Mudavadi decamping will have in effect et cetera ...the elections is still a year away but a lot can happen including as shown by Morimax’s post a wave pushing Mudavadi to power among other scenarios...there are LEGITIMATE scenario’s however small or big that Raila could lose the next election it is not his birthright you know.... emali,You are still wallowing in ethnic mathematics, mara Gema mara Kamatusa, mara big ethnic block. Majority of Kenyans are past that even though it might sound comical to you. Raila won the 2007 elections and even babies in Kenya know that so your denials are way out. I did not say that being PORK is Railas birthright, read what I wrote again. I think that those born with silver spoons in their mouths who perhaps believe that they were born to rule are people such as Uhuru. Raila, even though the son of Jaramogi has reached where he is due to hard work. The man has shattered so many myths in Kenya and will continue doing so. Those who have anchored their hope on winning the presidency because they are acceptable in certain tribal quarters than Raila are in for a major surprise if that’s the only thing they have to offer Kenyans. @ Mzee When caught with your hand in the cookie jar either just accept or ignore the thread altogether it’s a much better prospect than this meandering tale you call a rejoinder...again this is what you wrote...

Omwenga, Morimax and Roughrider;All I know is that you underestimate Raila Amollo Odinga at your own peril. All the noise makers such as Uhuru, Ruto and Mudavadi know very well that the prime minister is a force to reckon with. All those already consulted by Mudavadi would have jumped into his boat ages ago if they believed that he had the winning formula. Kenyan politicians are just too greedy to miss such a chance. As things stand, he is just one among the crowd trying to fight RAO. Other than build a political platform based on ideas for Kenyans, these groupings have only one thing in mind, that is, peel off people that they think were Railas corner stones from him. In the lazy bone minds, this will make them win without having to break a sweat by telling the people what their agenda for Kenya is. Its tribal arithmetic at its best (worst). But it will fail miserably. I’m happy that Raila has not gone tribal in his campaigns and has left such to the Uhuruto gang. Raila did beat Moi and later Kibaki with minimal amount of money. The only way to stop Raila from taking his rightful place at the state house is to physically eliminate him. That’s what some have been trying, thanks God their action was nipped in the bud. But RAO needs to be vigilant. RAO has beaten two sitting presidents. He beat Moi and in the process brought down Kanu. He whitewashed Kibaki twice, once in the referendum and again in the 2007 presidential elections. So those dreaming of beating him know his strength because many have felt it. To be honest, Mudavadi has been a passenger in RAOs boat for a long time and it’s a high time he took control of his own vehicle. While I agree that Raila is best suited out of the current crop of pretenders to be Kenya’s next PORK I find your presumption rather comical...Raila in 2007 had his best chance to PORK but strong forces aligned to prevent that...what would the margin of his victory have been then?

Wainana, It is a very good article, he does touch things that a common mwananchi endures everyday, nevertheless hospitals, roads, etc has nothing to do with Uhuru and Ruto, what has happened the previous years is not there fault, but I do agree with him. Is Eric Wanaina a common Mwananchi though, for him to say Gema does to represent him?Something that hit me last week, was Waititu interview on K 24, when he said the folks in Kileleshwa, Karen, muthaiga and the folks in Embakasi, umoja, kibera want two different people, the slums folks are they one who vote. So Wainana can mobilize his elite folks, but let Uhuru and Ruto do what theirs.... Waititu may have a point but he is oversimplifying the matter regarding Uhuruto, the large crowds they draw in their prayer rallies are mostly sympathy votes, with our political history and the circumstances that led to the PEV and the ICC there is no way Uhuru nor Ruto would have been left to go hang by themselves simply because there is a lot of blame to go around for the PEV... Wainaina captures the absurdity of Uhuruto politics(great piece!) and I believe his article is heartfelt by both the elite and the mwanaichi,the ‘sympathy’ for Uhrutto still prevails but as the elections and their ICC fate draws closer they will have to change tact because they are misusing their ‘sympathy votes’ and a backlash is inevitable especially if other candidates start capitalizing on their mistakes and this is assuming they don’t end up in the Hague because once they do it will be very hard to mount a campaign without their current platform of ‘prayer rallies’ and anyone but Raila... That said though the irony of it all is that Ruto may not be able to translate his sympathy to votes as Uhuru’s no.2 he can only do that as a no.1 candidate so Waititu could be disappointed if it all plays out... GEMA is stuck in the 1970’s it’s only mandate then as it is now is to have a Gikuyu replace another Gikuyu as PORK it may represent the common mwanainchi in central but it does not represent Wainaina (a lot more Wainina’s now than then) and the rest of Kenya and just like it failed then circumstances are ripe for its failure yet again...

Mwalimu, Am confused. I do not know who to put my currency on ... those who party all over a presumed political funeral for Uhuru, thanks to the ICC noose that continues to tighten around his neck, or you making it seem like ICC is either a non-factor, or a positive to the man's life. How do you justify the he "has everything going for him" claim? Mank, I agree, it is a rather confusing situation especially from a casual observance. You see, Uhuru is in a position that would make any politician envious. I mean, when you look at it from the sheer tyranny of numbers perspective, the man is head and shoulders above everyone else, especially if the field remains as crowded as it is. Now, this is the nightmare for the advocates of ICC. In ICC, they saw one and only panacea for Uhuru's demise. They connived with their friends in the west to make sure that this happens. Thus, the song, dance and ululations we are treated to here every once ICC makes a move, is a true indicator. They will tell you, they are for the victims. But inside, they know they are not, it is all 'politics stupid'. They have successfully convinced their masters that we should not have another kikuyu president at least for now, if we must have lasting peace. Juxtapose this with the natural economic interests of the west that seem to have taken a thorough beating under what Jakaswanga calls 'Uhuru presidency', and there you have it. Ruto is only collateral damage, he is seen as one who can actualize another kikuyu pendency and has to go too. Will they succeed? I dont think so. You have to give credit to the man. He has in all intends and purposes literally made lemonade out of a lemon. He has turned ICC on its head, instead of taking him out, it has actually propelled him to a high that he might not have achieved naturally. Figuratively speaking, ICC has simply become another Raila in our politics, very polarizing and worthy rallying against. While still celebrating this turn of events, the evil spirit that is KANU that had coiled around his nake and bogged him down over the years, slithered away yesterday. Those who know how to read its movement have it that it is headed westwards, it might just end up dying in the lake, who knows? I mean, these are positions that Kenyatta would not have dreamt of a year or so ago, but here he is. My question however remains; does he have what it takes to seize the moment? We shall see. What I don't get is what makes other politicians envious unless you mean Karua, Musyimi & Kenneth because the large numbers you mention are all Gikuyu...Uhuru would have got the Gikuyu numbers as sympathy votes anyway with the ICC charges even if he was as silent as Muthaura after the charges. I can see you never answered Manks question regarding the ICC or you assume he will come out unscathed...suppose the trail comes to pass & he is found wanting on most or all charges? What then? What moment to seize do you mean? Unless you mean getting Ruto as his running mate which is hardly earth shattering...Ruto already sold water to a whale with his NO vote so despite the hurdles we see among KAMATUSA regarding Ruto his Josep Goebbels skills might prevail & sweep Uhuru to power if we assume the ICC will just disappear But nothing Uhuru has done endears admiration he gets his money from his father his politics courtesy of Moi & his current fame from being accused for crimes against humanity. He was a finance minister who owns a bank hardly an endorsement on transparency & accountability...the only reason I can see why our unscrupulous MP's would be envious is..."Damn, I might not get re-elected, Uhuru has it made and will continue to steal into perpetuity" Uhuru has stoked tribal hatred since the ICC charges were leveled against him sometimes the foulest type not even Ruto could muster, he has behaved at times like someone punching in the dark not like one seeking the highest office in the land. He has blamed Raila for his tribulations to the point where it seems that his only position is anybody but Raila, he is preaching to the choir because Raila was never going to get votes from central and if Raila does not become PORK it will be his own undoing not Uhuru’s political brilliance. Uhuru might end up being PORK but nothing has shown he will be a decent president or he deserves anyone’s respect or admiration…

It’s a good move for him only if he gets the entire luhya community behind him (primarily Bukusu’s)...if he was to do that assuming Uhuruto don’t run he will have a legitimate shot especially if his running mate is not just a tribal balance equalizer but someone who can mobilize separate interests with a guaranteed following (ala Ruto in 07)...
It’s very early but he will need a lot of work and luck...the greatest asset he has is that he does not draw a lot of strong emotions on either side of the political divide and is perceived as weak politically strong ingredients for being elected PORK in the past...
It’s also a very risky move because he has never been a party leader and if he were to lose the elections he will in all probability disappear into oblivion as the new constitution is not kind to election losers...

Ruto is still trying to perfect his Josep Goebbels impersonation there are many reasons why he will fail the only sobering one is that he may not be as familiar with a pistol as his hero was...and his bunker will be more cosy surrounded by windmills rather than blood thirsty Russians...

OlooThank you for another brilliant essay! It illuminates the Kenyan social-political-economic situation couched within a historical paradigm for those of us who want to really get to the heart of the matter. You are the foremost Kenyan thinker and writer in and out of the country. You bring clarity to the confusion brought about by the machinations of those who wield power locally and internationally. Kathure:Thanks for the compliments, but don't you think you are a little too biased? After all, we do have a long political and personal history together. Kenyans in Canada who know we are the parents of the 21 year old young man called Sankara Kebaara must be chuckling.... Onyango Oloo Nairobi, Kenya

This gets really interesting....how about just insist the guys are a bunch of fakes and then refuse to debate what they wrote. Their site is not just about the UK letter it has lots of other intel material on Somalia etc........! The problem with many here is that they will go to the high heavens to discredit anything that is against rwot instead of actually addressing the issue. That will always explain why anything denigrating Kibaki/Uhuru will be gospel truth even when the sources are dubiuous and it takes the likes of Njuguna to work hard to counter them. But again this is the true Jukwaa Sure they have a lot of ‘intel’...and as you have appropriately noted they are ‘a bunch of fakes’, I just felt like smashing them further ...no issues to address their... The irony of your sentiments is that you do the same here on a daily basis and to a grander scale when it comes to Raila/ODM in general (yep addressing issues) which is a far cry from my attack on a fake site...charity begins at home...

Great news but only if we manage it well...it could be a gift and a curse as opined in this NYT article on Uganda... www.nytimes.com/2011/11/26/world/africa/uganda-welcomes-oil-but-fears-graft-it-attracts.html?_r=1Hopefully it is ‘sweet crude oil’ which is the highest quality of oil in the market. It’s still early so we have no idea how viable it is… This ‘discovery’ explains a lot of what has been happening of late especially the war in Somalia and Lapsett…it also makes sense why Britain would send a diplomat based on a fake document… A gift and a curse…a gift and a curse….

emaali: These are very serious matters. As a matter of fact, you should be very careful because those medicine-men have moved with technology. These days they don't even require your DNA; all they need is something like your email address or something you have written on some internet blog, and they will reach you by remote. I wouldn't be surprised if the top-notch ones are capable of working with just something like your "anonynmous" Jukwaa handle.RE empires: that's just how Western rationalization see things; we all know who actually brought down the USSR, and the USA is next if they mess with our son, the truly amazing leopard. Now Now Otishotish you got jokes... I think you need to enlighten the rest of Jukwaa on these highly nefarious charms because those stories & beliefs are very rampant east of Emali (the town not me) and like I stated earlier I wont be a convert anytime soon...

A mysterious nodding disease outbreak is currently being reported in Uganda… edition.cnn.com/2012/03/19/world/africa/uganda-nodding-disease/index.html?hpt=iaf_c2It was initially reported last June based on this youtube video… A quick Wikipedia search shows the following… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nodding_disease Nodding disease or nodding syndrome is a recent, little-known disease which emerged in Sudan in the 1960s.[1] It is a fatal, mentally and physically disabling disease that only affects children, typically between the ages of 5 and 15. It is currently restricted to small regions in South Sudan, Tanzania, and northern Uganda.[2][3] Prior to the South Sudan outbreaks and subsequent limited spread, the disease was first described in 1962 existing in secluded mountainous regions of Tanzania,[4] although the connection between that disease and nodding syndrome was only made recently.[3]Continued…its symptoms… The symptoms of nodding disease are very peculiar. When a child is affected by it, his/her growth is stunted completely and permanently. The growth of the brain is also stunted, leading to mental retardation of the affected individual. The disease is named nodding syndrome due to the characteristic, pathological nodding seizure. The seizure often begins when the child begins to eat, or sometimes when he/she feels cold.[5] These seizures are brief and halt after the child stops eating or when they feel warm again. These seizures can manifest themselves with a wide degree of severity. Neurotoxicologist Peter Spencer, who has investigated the disease has stated that upon presentation with food, "one or two [children] will start nodding very rapidly in a continuous, pendulous nod. The child next door will suddenly go into a grand-mal seizure, others will freeze."[6] Severe seizures can cause the child to collapse, leading to further injury.[7] Sub-clinical seizures have been identified in electroencephalograms, and MRI scans have shown brain atrophy and damage to the hippocampus and glia cells.[4] A curious feature is that no seizures occur when victims are given an unfamiliar food, for example a candy bar.[8]The last major outbreak occurred around 2002/2003 in South Sudan…no one seemed too know where the disease came from but many had their theories… web.archive.org/web/20060519084631/http://www.yaleph.com/archive/vol1no1/reg_focus.htmlnews.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3133440.stmIs it a coincidence that most new highly contagious diseases seem to ‘originate’ from East and Central Africa? i.e. Ebola, AIDS and now Nodding Disease. Using AIDS as an example we see the first original reports in Africa originated from Uganda in the early eighties and neighboring Zaire… www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2864575The AIDS epidemic was first noticed among gay men in New York and California as early as 1981 contrary to the widely held belief that it originated in Africa. My theory on this nodding disease is tied to vaccines administered to unsuspecting Africans like some hypothesize was the real cause of AIDS… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPV_AIDS_hypothesisI don’t doubt for a second that these humongous pharmaceutical companies still perform these tests across Africa today…hopefully this nodding disease can be contained and not spread across the border…

;D ;D ;D Funny enough just like Kathure thats what I thought when I heard about Russells escapades in San Diego...the guy looked very balanced on the video with son all charming with the cant we all get along warmth surrounding the video... OtishOtishHehehe I have heard enough tales to make me not discard those juju charms though I agree some extraterrestial stuff happens in our daily lives that cant be explained I'm still a skeptic...why didn't all these Juju Gurus gang up and create one for the ages when that white blue eyed devil started roaming our savanna's ;D I bet they did, but that mzungu had an even stronger one made of lead... You may laugh, but that's only because you don't think long-term like those guys sometimes do. Tell me this: Where today is the British Empire on which "the sun never sets". I once asked the very question that you ask, and I was given a perfectly reasonable answer: the Brits were allowed in for a very specific time and purpose, namely to to provide cheap education, such as language training for what would one day become the leading international language. Here's more evidence: A couple of years ago, when I was in Kisumu, a fellow who knows people who know things told me that about 50 years ago, roughly when Obama was born, the local medicine-man where his father came from predicted that a leopard with truly amazing powers would one day appear from near the local stream. The wazees who are still old enough to remember the prophecy have since identified that truly amazing leopard as the current president of the USA, leader of the only super-power, leader of the free world, etc. I see you are a believer in these practises as are many communities in Kenya...my laughter was mostly limited to Mr Russels antics and I may have laughed abit too hard. I never encountered these charms in my formative years & they were never part of my life, they are very alien to me & will continue being so for the foreseeable future...just like most aspects of religion it’s a futile debate... I however won’t walk into the sunset & ignore that British Empire comment...the British Empire’s decline was inevitable they just couldn’t sustain the cost abit like the former USSR whose problems went beyond cost to social/political and ideological reasons...

Raila and his secretariat really need to abandon this strategy of frequent bullet pointed press statements...it feeds to his critics and it’s easy to misinterpret...just take a look at the last 10 days...
1. March 12th ‘Forge UK Dossier’...this lead to the claim that he called for the arrest of Uhuruto when he didn’t exactly say that...
2. March 12th ‘On the Coming General Elections’...this was in reaction to the first statement after all the predictable backlash of Uhuruto and their gang of misfits...
3. March 20th ‘On the March election day’...Again after Raila’s utterances on why he preferred a December election & his court ya bandia remark.
The PM cannot ‘Win’ political mileage or actionable results on any of them....all these statements do is expose the PM and provide fodder for his opponents ....
