What is all this excitement? Just how many people in the opposition (as the disenfranchised LDP was then) said a kind word about Kibaki in 2003? Kalonzo had reason to say all he wanted for his own political benefit and the only problem was that him or anyother Kibaki hater would not have repeated the same words in poublic. Right here in Jukwaa we talked about it with no holds barred and I remember even our good old Oloo predicting his death! That was then. So mama Lucy hears of wikileaks, and about two weaks later after the leaks made the local media, she (with what must have been political prompting!) decides to defend her family's and husband's honour. Instructively though, we did not have the president issuing a public statement with Lucy holding a kitchen knife on his back or a statement from the president himself. If you want to read what you want about her motives, I certainly cannot see the hands of the likes of Uhuru in this - the damage was done kitambo when Kalonzo's treachery was exposed by the leaks! So let us allow Lucy to exercise the right to defend her family. KamaleUkiamua, you write and put your points across exceptionally well. Niko na Kamele on this one. How to post an image:I have just learnt how to post images from an online picture to Jukwaa . I have struggled with how to do it in the past. This is how for those who would need to share images online. Posting an image is really easy once you learn the 'tricks'. To post an image, it must be on a web server connected to the internet. This is not the same as being on your local computer. 1. Find an image / animation on the internet (check for copyright notice!) 2. Use your mouse over the image along with the right mouse button. 3. select 'properties' to view the URL of the image. 4. Use your mouse over (highlight) the image URL and copy n paste it inside the quotes ..... www.nation.co.ke/image/view/-/1133680/highRes/247701/-/maxw/600/-/ex1fg1/-/CART+27.jpg [/img] I hope the above is clear and useful

Call it fiendish delight or whatever but believe me we might be staring a Ruto Veep in the making. When that is done, remember to say pole to Kalooser There is nothing new in the snollygoster Judas KM having Fiendish delight at another travails. Its how he has been operating politically for the last quarter decade. He is always looking to clear the field, halafu apitie kati kati. kipkorios knew this and that is why during the mlolongo days, he sent the little twit from Tseikuru to go rig out someone from Muranga, was it KSN? I cant remember. If you look at how he has retained his MP-ship, in a number of elections his main rival either failed to turn in his language proficiency tests, or was knocked out on a technicality somewhere along the lines. So for Judas KM he is a disciple of the Schadenfreude school of thought, always looking to laugh at someones expense, after chimbaring them. Kina jomo jnr and ruto have found that out and told the melony chameleon to 'ora' [/img] [/quote] Fantastic depiction of the little twit from Tseikuru. No wonder he is as quiet as a church mouse the last few days following the tongue lashing he got from ka - ruci. What a lickspittle the fellow is.

Kalonzo edged out of 2012 Alliance VICE-PRESIDENT Kalonzo Musyoka is increasingly being marginalised in the political alliance between Finance minister Uhuru Kenyatta and Eldoret North MP William Ruto. Instead Uhuru and Ruto are reaching out to Saboti MP Eugene Wamalwa in another alliance which was proposed in Meru and Muranga over the weekend. Out of nine rallies Uhuru and Ruto have held since February, Kalonzo has graced only two events in Kericho and Mosop. Ruto hosted President Kibaki at 64 Stadium in Eldoret in January seeking to strengthen ties between the Kikuyu and Kalenjin. Uhuru was there but not Kalonzo. Two weeks ago, Saboat MP Eugene Wamalwa hosted Uhuru and Ruto in Bungoma. Again the VP was conspicuously absent. At the weekend, the duo continued their rallies in Meru and Muranga and announced the formation of a new political party. Curiously, Uhuru and Ruto did not mention Kalonzo, only talking about like minded leaders like Eugene, despite their promises last year of a KKK Alliance. Close associates of Uhuru and Ruto now say that the positions of presidential candidate and running mate have been filled.Central Kenya leaders are now planning to host a leaders meeting in Limuru to endorse the Uhuru/Ruto 2012 line up. “We in Mount Kenya have already agreed on our de facto leader. Unfortunately the VP is not anywhere in the lineup,” Nithi MP and Agriculture assistant minister Kareke Mbiuki said.According to Mbiuki, a close ally of Uhuru, leaders from Mt. Kenya will converge in Limuru for a second time to make the declaration.“We are meeting in Limuru 2 in April where the declaration will be made to endorse Uhuru and Ruto ticket. There is no short cut,” he said. “He (Kalonzo) has been leading the deferral mission as part of his brief as Vice President. He should not expect any endorsement even from the president,” Mbiuki stated.Mbiuki downplayed the impeding ICC prosecution saying that Uhuru and Ruto will be in the presidential race as long as they are not convicted. Yesterday, Kibwezi MP Philip Kaloki said Kalonzo will be in the ballot box whether he is endorsed by the two or not.“The VP is still working in consultations with his people and has a capacity to mount enormous campaigns,” Kaloki added.Kaloki, a close ally to Kalonzo, warned that those counting out the VP do it at their own peril since the new constitution provides a level playing ground for all. Special Programmes minister Esther Murugi and former Siakago MP Justine Muturi downplayed the idea that Kalonzo hs been sidelined.‘It’s too early to start speculating that any person in the alliance will be sidelined by the others,” Murugi said. Muturi said that even if Kalonzo does not get the ticket, there are other equally important positions.“The Speaker and the leader of majority are very important. That can accommodate those who will not capture the ticket,” he said..... Kaloki and Muturi said that all the aspiring candidates will go through nomination primaries to come up with the final team. University of Nairobi sociology lecturer Ken Ouko commented that Kalonzo should realise that the writing is on the wall. “Ruto told him in Kericho that the next president from the alliance should be below 50; Kalonzo is in his late 50s. This tells you what they think about him,” Ouko said.“They remember that he ditched Raila and quickly joined Kibaki after the disputed elections, so they can’t trust him any more since he has the potential to repeat it,” he said. On Friday, First Lady Lucy Kibaki scolded the VP for comments in WikiLeaks about the health of President Kibaki. The statement is now being seen as a pointer that State House and the status quo may not support Kalonzo’s candidature in 2012. "The First Lady and President both come from Mt.Kenya which will rally behind Uhuru. Kalonzo should read between the lines,” Mbiuki commented.However Kaloki said that the First Lady was in order to protect the image of her family but doubted the authenticity of WikiLeaks cables.“Kalonzo has been categorical that he never made any such remarks, so Mama Lucy’s remarks should not be taken to mean Kalonzo has fallen out with State House,” Kaloki said. www.nairobistar.com/national/national/19059-kalonzo-edged-out-of-2012-alliance-

I opined some time back that Kalonzo will determine who wins the 2012 election. I still believe very much so. The Kikuyu through Kibaki owe Kalonzo big time! As much as peeps would like to say Kalonzo entered the agreement with Kibaki, it is correctly percieved in politics that Kalonzo saved Kibaki and enabled him to mis-rule for another 5 years.
They just cannnot dump him. This time it will be worse. It will be entrenched in all and sundry that the kikuyu cannot be trusted.
The domino effect especially if Kalozo decides to play hard politics by say merging ODM and ODM-K will be the political death knell for Uhuru project 2 or Anyone but Raila project 2.
Suppose Kalonzo decides to be a good christian and be pragmatic for once and say he does not want to be president. He joins the Raila-Mudavadi axis and goes all over the country flashing the betrayal card from Kibaki (read kikuyu). Even the Rutos (read Kalenjin) will have problems uniting with the Uhurus. He will simply claim the two communities drunk with power and corruption for 50 or so good years have lost the Kenyan plot.
How Uhuru and Ruto will wriggle out of that with their masters aka Kibaki and Moi will be a delight to watch...i.e assuming they don't unleash civil war on us.

Listen to what Mutahi Ngunyi says about kalooser - very interesting. Ruto and Uhuru must have not gotten the memo.
