MADARAKA 2016:
MAN KIRAITHE RECYCLES THE COUP RUMOUR! CRY ME MORE WOLVES!PEACES OF SH!T, WHO WILL FLUSH? –--No, there is no water in the toilet, so the heap will heap and heap, until we get some Dalits to shove it off manually.
I had thought I am too old to really get worked up. Thought the ravages of a life experienced in Africa have so weather-beaten my heart, that it has developed a feeling-proof layer of grime, steel and repellent firewall immune to the usual touchy-feely nonsense of useless African politicians and their twisted mouth pieces.
Not even
Eric Kiraithe announcing an imimminent
Raila coup to explain why the president is bolting from Nairobi to talk Madaraka shop in safe Nakuru instead, raises in me more than a cursory side glance; but the pieces of sh!t fronting both sides of the political divide, Jubilee and CORD, have managed to rattle my cool this very day. Man, aint I pissed! (And don't I hope I stay pissed for the duration of this post!)
Why am I pissed? off
The government represented by PORK and D-PORK,
after consultation with the opposition (CORD)) principals at Ikulu, have, in their encompassing
benevolence, allowed Wananchi in Nairobi to gather at Uhuru Park on Madaraka day! –-Forget
Judge Odunga and his ruling. That is immaterial. Those clowns at the bench are too busy with their own silly games to be of relevance to the future of Kenya, short or long term.
HOW MUCH IS A
PARLEY A RAT OUT A HAT?
What is wrong with this tension-easing magnanimity exercised by the political gods?
The premise is quicksand. Okay. This 1963 independence may be fake, even on its second leg post devolution; but not even God has the mandate to prevent Kenyans from gathering on Madaraka day for whatever purpose. Uhuru
Kenyatta, William Ruto, Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka, Senator Wetangula, are mistaken in this usurpation of divinity. The premise that they are the controllers/keepers of the sovereignty invested in the people, like the majesties of gone historical eras. If they think it is a PRIVATE TETE-A-TETE between them, which allows a Nairobi gathering at Uhuru Park on Madaraka day to proceed or not to proceed, they are deluded charlatans. They are like Her Majesty the Queen of England, in the days she owned Kenya and, indeed yes, all the colonies were called
commonwealth! The sun does eventually set on empire.
DYNASTIC TALK
'I say Uhuru, that teargas in my eyes! Was it really necessary ndugu?'
'My brother Raila, that Maasai psycho I inherited from you misled me you are plotting a coup!'If the right to gather anywhere anytime is banned –--like all scared dictatorships and oppressive regimes do, citing public security, essentially because the rulers fear the people---, then blood will be incrementally shed until that right is not only a lip service in a spectacularly fake constitution underpinned by a rotten judiciary (as is the case of 2010 Kenyan promulgate), but evolved into a verifiable reality outside the leisure of a select elite, meeting in a private
parley! The more a leadership and elite is intransigent in the face historical thrust, the more they beget the smouldering rage recently witnessed in some Arab lands.
PARLEY!These Zamunda banana republic thoroughbreds think Kenya can be run by a parley --MOU
-- between them!? That Kenyais in their dynastic pocket!? No, not even two Gods combined, Allah and Jehovah, have that much power over political reality anywhere. Always check how much power your Zamunda King has over the national currency, whenever it begins to misbehave, like fluctuating at a rate sometimes called free-fall. –--You know who they always call, don't you!
There is no power in African capitals! But there are men who act as if they are in power, and happily for them there are many suckers out there who believe the act.
Now, the real reason these Zamunda herds of He-bleaters have no option but to allow a Madaraka pomp, is because the whole elite is already thin on legitimacy.
Al-Shabaab blew up over 100 KDF personnel, sons and fathers of Kenyans, and these pretender guardians of national security have no idea of the pain across the land, nay, they are oblivious to the covert pain that runs across ethnic zones, the zones they purports politically control yet are emotionally alienated from. Most of these KDF dead were young, barely starting families. The young widows and orphans out there is a terrible sight, some already in the squalor arising from loosing the sole bread-winner, and, two, bureaucratic thievery of dead man's dues.. And these non-people in Nairobi do not think that is the national interest, a national priority worth a ponder on the eve of a Madaraka day. The defence and foreign relations committee in parliament has no idea how many soldiers were killed at El-Adde! Not even in a camera session would the KDF top brass give an estimate, as if the –-Al-Shabaab bulletin---100 is some state secret!
I would have expected tomorrow to be a day the whole list of the dead of El-Adde are called out loudly. The blood of young men died for their country however stupid the war stupid politicians sent them to, is too holy for me to be indifferent when fat hogs insult them. The blood and the sacrifice of the 100 should be used to fortify Madaraka, to exorcise the demons of divorce incanted rogue oracles like Dr. David, but there we have a tale of two Madarakas! Aint that things fallen apart, only the blind do no see?
Oh Oh Oh!these toys in Nairobi! Toy commanders in chief, toy chiefs of staff, toy parliamentary committees, toy leaders of the opposition, toy electoral commissions, toy cabinet secretaries! Toy Judges of toy toy courts! Toy police investigators (thinking of the behaviour at the Juma murder scene!), toy accountants and bankers (thinking of …). It could just be a toy country too, gearing up for a toy madaraka day, celebrating a toy independence!
THE COMEDY
One day, the national security council goes into illicit camera like Judge Njoki Ndung'u, and makes a spectacular ruling: No rallies in Nairobi! Police spokesmen
Owino and Kiraithe, mindboggling stupid even if licking up the ladder is first nature to some, then go live to repeat and threaten the public, that disobedience be met with the kind of action of which the apartheid police holds the patent ever since Soweto! And then Lo! like
CJ Mutunga called upon by sense to overrule the mentally imploded Judge
Ndung'u, the very next day emerges Menoah Esipisu and, with a smile more sheepish than the intended condescending export, he announces the national security council does not operate from systematic analysis of intelligence!
Raila, who was marked to be arrested
(Nkaissery talk) should he attempt to attend prayer rallies on Uhuru park on June 1, is now invited to flee Nairobi along with the President and his entourage, camp at Nakuru and address the nation from the same podium as Mr. Kenyatta!
Would-be coup-maker and would-be ex-prezzo are up there making up, like all this heat of the past days was them playing politically incorrect cowboy and red-Indian roles!
Royal children playing around the house of state!
Somebody forgot to send Kiraithe the brief. He has already caused a region-wide diplomatic row, overshadowing the allegedly Egyptian slight at Subsahara Africans.
We have been here before, Tuesday July 16 2013: Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s aide Eliud Owalo has been summoned to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) over allegations of a plot to destabilise the government. That time it was tough guy Francis Kimemia fighting Joseph Kinyua!
Looking at Nairobi this way, I do quickly regain my temper. Who wants to be annoyed with children for more than a few seconds?
Even DPP
Keriako Tobiko has declared there was no Eurobond money misused, an the boys from the office of the auditor general are yet to return from abroad whey they went document hunting from some very secretive banks. Of course there is secure e-mail and diplomatic porches they could have used to dispatch innocence, but there is a look on Tobiko's face which betrays his age. And it is not adult! No, such a nice darling you wouldn't hold anything against him, not for more than a few seconds!
two madarakas then! it is like germany which a british politician so loved he quipped: the more Germany's the better! who would want a united Germany!?
Germans may be! and so it is that unionists like me want one country one madaraka! Next time then!
cheers!
