DEMOLITION MAN SONKO
Now, Mike Sonko is quite a character. I have confessed before the first time I saw him was way back in Makadara, where some urban clansmen, kids really I should say (as that is what they were -- odd sons of odd aunties) were kind of in his spell. Sonko was pumping and clicking hands in a strange way. It reminded me of drug-exchange rituals filmed in the streets of New York by Afro-American directors like Spike Lee (of Malcom X, Clockers and Jungle Fever fame). Young Sonko those days looked to me a cross between a rock-star, a market clown on the top of his game, a charlatan money-doubling priest and a rebel cult man. He was an instinctive master of the theatrics of crowd management. He was perpetual motion, constant improvisation. He was Jazz as an artistic concept.
Abstract man!
Yet touchy-feely.
I marvelled: which material forces in Kenya combined to birth this curious one?
I found him a fascinating Kenyan, that will say I still do. He is an authentic urban --really detribalised, an instinctive populist and radically convinced, and therefore always an uncomfortable fit in the raw and cynically deliberate if not hollow manipulation of ethnic allegiance. This urban inclusive 'openness ' of Sonko --he really was no charlatan to the interests of mama mbogas, kinyozi and salonists of Makadara then, and, importantly, the ability of people to instinctively recognise and consciously testify that Sonko is a lesser evil -IE not a brilliant man at plotting evil for others, is not as ruthless a schemer as the likes of William Ruto and Raila Odinga, means there is always a terror Miko Sonko shall ever wreak on other genuine charlatans.
His RELATIVE humanity ever shines through, his genuine efforts to actually help makes him adorable, even if others abhor how amateurish, childish and simple-minded he goes about it. It then appears in all the elite disdain, Sonko is closer to the truth in his simplicity. And then the conviction of many who have personally interacted with him that his compassion is not an acted front.
Sonko's interventions bring out the drama on both sides of the equation: capitalism is ruthless property ownership oriented, but a dispossesed population is an angry, explosive mob! a man gotta do what a man gotta do, any which way.
In morally debased circumstances like Kenya politics is, like even FINANCIAL NEW YORK WALL STREET IS, OR THE LONDON CITY, the genuineness of human compassion is an outrightly terrifying factor. William Ruto's grin is a crocodile's smile. Everybody instinctively recognises that. Raila Odinga's smile is a wolf's honeyed front, and Ouru Kenyatta's promises, reptilian vows. Every heart recognises this. And Kenyans plan their lives as such. No, there are few fools around Kenya I tell you! It is just the duplicity of heart forced by extraneous circumstances can lead to the possum behaviour of counterfeit idiocy. The slave obeys the master because of a certain calculation of the odds. The odds change -like they say vindu vichenjanga--- and the ever obedient slave metamorphosises into a savage, vengefully ruthless brute par excellence. Kenyans are no exception to this duplicity. And don't the thieving elite know it, which is why maintain that ratio. -which one? Yeah, the armed police to 1000 civilian heads!
DOES ANY TOP INDIVIDUAL FEAR MBUVI SONKO?
We all know in the big picture, as the posh nobility would rather, both Jubilee and ODM, Sonko should not have been the governor, elect or the rigged. The posh guys had their posh guys: Evans the thief Kidero for Odinga's faction, and Peter Kenneth for Ouru's. Or even Jimnah Mbaru, the MARGIN CALL MAN OF ZAMUNDA STOCK EXCHANGE! ##footnote.
LAND, AI YAWA LAND!
Senator Sonko did not become governor by Elite patronage, defined as rigging. He won it fare and square by popular outrage! That is the scare. Sonko does not need to be rigged in. He, like Raila, needs a rigging out! That is a problem. In fact a HUUUUUUGE one as Donald Trump would emphasise.
The sh!t therefore is, Governor Mbuvi Sonko of Nairobi county is more legitimate in his elected office than Uhuru and Ruto in theirs! Sonko doesn't need some HANDSHAKE to alibise for absent legitimacy.
I have not seen Ouru and Ruto verbally recognise this fact, but I have discerned their body languages import it. --the way a current husband can import the offhand grin of his wife's lover.
A stiff moment, bite of chin and then the circumstantial hypocrisy of polite civility and breeding takes over. But the poison remains palpable in the air, thick with malice, like the sugar imported by Rotich and okayed by the KEBS!
One could all but see the handlers of Uhruto busy plotting Sonko's ruin even as the Presidency smiled at him! In fact grapevine was Jomo Gecage so lost his cool he barred Sonko from state house. He couldn't bring himself to shake the governor's shit-stained hands. (Sonko spent days pumping and clicking hands with slum dwellers! Water and toilet paper tend to be luxuries around there, you kind of know!)
Well!?
Those sh!tty Sonko instincts again! He tabbed former opponent Miguna Miguna for deputy governor after he got rid of his would-be minder, Polycarp Igathe. The demise of Igathe itself needs an economic take: ie the war of the scavenger tenderpreneurial factions picking Nairobi county.
But that is for another day.
Today, to me, The Miguna move was a pointer at just how strong the instincts of Sonko were in the jungle of political survival. Nyando Canadian Miguna had debased him during the debates. Josy was full of KIZUNGU MINGIMINGI na Ujaluo domodomo but, apparently, Sonko recognised the FEARLESS and unflinching counterpunch of Miguna. While others retreated in docility before the powers, The Political Cartel fronts who had plotted to rig him out for Peter Kenneth, Miguna had taken them on without pulling punches. And after Mbuvi had won the governorship, the cartels were still at it, busy plotting his downfall, smarting from the surrender of their chaperon lady, the deflowered Igathe. So Sonko's instincts peaked again: Like Raila Odinga who had to rely on Miguna Miguna to administer his treasonable oath as the Peoples president, Sonko homed deep and tabbed the only real bull he instinctively perceived.
He even poked a bit, telling President Kenyatta not to be too much intimidated by the Miguna issue!
The reaction was frenzied!
The rats caucus known as the MCA council smelled a Big Cat! Miguna JaCanada!? Treason, Sonko should be impeached!
Rats have instincts too! No, Miguna for deputy governor even for one month, there is no-doubt the shock therapy would reverberate far after that one month! A bit like Tom Sankara's four years.
What did Sankara do!? He simply went to work on behalf of the people. Uncorrupted, principled and passionately ever pro-people, the people forgave him his mistakes. But the snake of treachery was right beside him, Blaise Compaore. Blaise wanted to get rich. He had a beautiful wife to cloth and show off in fashion shows! He needed to pay high bills, luxury bills. What else could he do but steal!? --But Sankara had to go before that!
SONKO'S OTHER CHOICE
Sonko's instincts are excellent. I thought it was great when, to appease posh anxieties, he tabbed the now ailing Chris Kirubi for running mate or special advisor! I actually was amazed at Kirubi's haughty response: Sonko's sh!t-stained fingers was far beneath his handshake, the aristocrat and oligarch breathed down.
It therefore has been with grinny amusement that I have followed Mike Sonko's latest moves or theatrics.---This body called NEMA which is blowing up multi-billion Malls and else on RIPARIAN LANDS, does it fall under the ministry of Keriako Tobiko, that is Environment?
Why? Because Keriako Tobiko is another one with no time for the sewer rat Sonko! Pronouncing the name Sonko in relationship to honourable governor is a sweaty, distasteful feat for the former DPP. For a moment I thought it was because he knew enough to know Sonko should be in Kamiti, only to realise, after his surprise promotion to cabinet, Keriako Tobiko knows Sonko knows he is a fraud, and at the DPP's, he was a cover-up act. You see within 3 months Noordin Haji has, as DPP, done more than Keriako Double could ever do in a century. Keriako was promoted because he was dead wood as DPP. A working man needed to replace him!
And then Sonko had the temerity to question Ouru: this Keriako couldn't prosecute any cartel landgrabbers. How will we now get back our RIPARIAN LANDS with him at the environmental ministry, seeing Nairobi is the centre of Riparian land-grabbing!? (Kenyatta is said to have replied this time we are serious, he will work or go! Just like you too!)
So there are a lot of bluffs to be called out there.
Goveror Elect Mbuvi Sonko has managed to whip the lands department to give him the numbers of NYAKWAD PLOTS which ought to belong to the county, inherited from the defunct Nairobi city council! And his populist instincts have vowed to REPOSES THEM, howbeit, with camera's rolling! --ONE MAN AGAINST THE LAND-GRABBING CARTELS!
You see: while the likes of Aden Duale are demanding the government they lead and whose policies they dictate, take steps to guarantee peasants interests, Mike Sonko in person is at the frontline reposesing grabbed public lands!
Who is your better Kenyan now? -even in theatrics! Who is your GO-GETTER!? Who you gonna call, if you need it done!?
Now this sting in the tail, and it is not about two Kidero's in Jail. It is about a Kalenjin Singh.
