 KALONZO'S LONG, LONG WALK TO HIMSELF, (the making of a possible president) Let me put it plane in 20 seconds ala twitter style. Thereafter will I take the next two hours carefully arranging the mental path to the conclusion. Mesays, backed by Wetangula and Raila for 2017, Kalonzo Musyoka as the opposition candidate will beat Uhuruto. The issue will be corruption, and Kalonzo Musyoka is the LEAST corrupt of all of them, and thus singularly best placed to cash on this momentum. He is the cleanest of all the dirty suitors out for Wanjiku's hand. Raila must now prepare for the penultimate sacrifice: a version of KALONZO TOSHA!In panic and desperate, Uhuruto will of course unleash the most psychiatrised mode of tribalist campaign ever witnessed. They will indulge emotional codes more sinister than those kerher ones they totted at the famous peace-cum-hate rallies of old. Still, Kalonzo wins this negative battle: I recall in the ethnic/tribal differentiation of Kenya he is a Bakamba, and not only have these Easterners never had the presidency (unlike the Kalenjin and Kikuyu elites who plan to monopolise the seat forever by an incestuous back-and-forth button-passing arrangement based on the tyranny of numbers), but the Bakambas are not known to be a POLARISING, bigoted factor in our hate-prone politics of ethnic profiling.  CORD Co-principal and Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka wife Pauline The Gor-worshipping Onagis of Agwambo are a clear terror, the thieving Mount Kenya mafia Mumbis of Kamwana, a certified horror, and the evily greedy Singh mutants of Araps, a Frankestein grotesque; these big three constitute a triumvirate of hate or negative energy ever poisoning the fabrics of the nation. But the Bakambas, famous of ladies with agile and intoxicating hip-works, are modest and diplomatic in public discourse toward other Kenyans. Their conceit if any is more concealed, their drive to dominate other Kenyans un-evidenced; their pose is never threatening nor causing anxiety, despondency and alarm across the tribes of the land at large --- that is why Old Jomo trusted the army to them in toto! Therefore when Uhuruto open a hateful campaign of ethnic stereotyping, a Bakamba candidate becomes the best compromise, a godsend. The most prominent is of course Stevo, and so he becomes the beneficiary of the instinctive choice of common sense to prevent a social convulsion brought about by the supremacist Muthamaki's of the Kikuyus, the fishy Kers of the Luos, and the kleptocratic Orkoiyots of the Kalenjins ... (and there is one -such social convulsion-on the horizons of course, caused by debt and inflation, and a high-rate of growth which, nevertheless, does not override nor compensate economic stagnation for the majority. The contours are set by a high rate of taxation, which is the nightmare of devolution!)  But well, who would have thought it! Kenyans having enough of manipulative Enigmas, corrupt Muthamaki Kwamwanas, rotten Arap Singhs, and endorsing a Mr. Clean, the one and only one we originally called 'Kalooser'! (the stone the builders cast away, ended up being the corner stone!) Yes, the shifts at the top, the power dances of the neo-colonial elite, must ever be more frantic like boiling molecules, churning to keep pace with the heat from below. Disenfranchisement. CONTINUED. Part II. THE LONG, LONG WALK OF BROTHER KALONZO TO HIMSELF: break, see ya laters, alligators! |

THE UNDERDOG MUSYOKA.PART 2. WA MWISHO ATAKUWA WA KWANZA, WA KWANZA ATAKUWA WA MWISHOA cartoonist's impression of the situation: hey Kenya, we have a problem! but the politicians are quick witted and perform magic.  (like credit-fuelled booms)  Wacha bwana, hakuna matata. Why fix it? it aint broke, see!? Just a light touch -- borrow more, print more money, increase taxation! tomorrow is another planet!But the doubts persist:  Lets toss a coin then! and follow the money please, not the roll of the coin!) First the full reminder;
WHO WILL BE BETRAYED BY WHO?[/font][/i] [/quote] No time now to dwell on the Black Spot, an act of which I first came across in a book by Robert Louis Stevenson, Treasure Island. It is a warrant of disposal. The sacking of a buccaneer captain by his mates. But to keep it short, as far as I am concerned, these political parties are just 'buccanneer outfits' They are all pirates who sell I to the merchant ships on the first bid! --Africa rising! It would appear in the fall-out with Charity Ngilu --after she had cleaned out the tell-tale land records for him at the National Land's Office led by the timid Dr. Swazuri, Uhuru Kenyatta sought to yoke Kalonzo Musyoka to his electoral machine. One kamba arsehole done, wheel in the next for the same, seems to be the bankrupt but, currently, ruthlessly effective ethnic math dictated by the doctrine running the show in Nairobi, ie the tyranny of numbers. He, young Muigai, reportedly promised Kalonzo stuff, for instance that, in the coming reshuffle necessitated by the corruption indictments, Kalonzo Musyoka could have his pick of Kamba proteges to the cabinet, and even other selected parastatals. A mouth-watering unprecedented autonomy. Clearly too good to be true in an unstable coalitional government of a contested 50/50 with the 'warlike' Kalenjin. Spurned, and in a fit of fury, the power-drunk but administratively ineffectual Muigai found childish recourse if freezing the retirement kitty of Musyoka (and Raila) forever.  Kalonzo still refused. (to pull the rug from under Raila). May be it was a question of once bitten twice shy. Mr. Musyoka has been where Charity Ngilu is today: Used and dumped by Uhuruto. Did he not spend all his VP-time lobbying for amicable solutions to the ICC noose, mara deferral, mara referral, mara dismissal! and was he not a grandee of the Gs in whatever ill-fated configuration (from 7 to 3)? And at the end of it all, a laughing stock was his dues.  Let us recall. From a fellow watermelon to such a humiliated litter, this (2015) time when Muigai called to re-use him, Mr. Musyoka must have looked at himself deeply in the mirror, and decided no more, I will reassemble myself, collect myself up, hold my dignity and spend the last phase of my political life meaning something to myself, being a man of honour (  ) possibly. (The ' Katikati man' helped a beleaguered Kibaki to a social majority in 2008, thus sticking a dagger in Raila's back after the rigged elections. It is the kind of behaviour which gives a man a bad name, especially remembering Jaramogi Odinga refused a chance to be president with Jomo Kenyatta in jail: ''Uhuru na Kenyatta'', the Luo man whose son's pension is now blocked by Uhuru insisted. It is a story that illuminates the different calibers of men. But I will remind, that during one of the infamous G-? rallies, Kalonzo Musyoka said he wouldn't be a president if Ouru and Ruto were sitting in a foreign jail! I remember this incident because I made a CULTURAL note of it in my lessons: As Kibaki's VP he did not appear to mind claiming seniority in hierarchy to PM Raila, the rigged-out, rightful winner of the immediate past election. Given this blind spot, I was asking my students, how much heart could Uhuru and Ruto realistically risk on Kalonzo's words? For Christ's sake forgive me folks, I am the kind who still doubts men in power, even when they tearfully swear truths with their hands on the supposed coffins of their dead mothers, like we saw engineer Michael Mwaura Kamau do yesterday in Nyeri. ---Culture! I hate that word man! It vaporises every illusion in my head! ) Condolenses engineer. But I am sorry man. My hatred of corruption forces me to drive a bayonet up your buttocks beside your mother's grave, and burry you with her. Your morals are so corrupt, you would morally prostitute your mothers dead body, to leverage the sorrowful sympathy gained against your indictment and possible conviction.---devious creep!Aah, where was I? NB: THE G-somethings and Jukwaa. jukwaa.proboards.com/thread/5344/g7-president-uhuru-ruto-kalonzo. Yes, here is an earlier attempt by Jubilee to woo back Kalonzo Musyoka. This is before the General elections of 2013. Remembering see-saw stuff like this Since then, Musalia Mudavadi has been dropping to the bottom like a submarine out of power or insufficient in propulsion. And even the likes of Kenneth Marende who once rode on his wings, now call him a dead dic.k going nowhere. Better late than never. Better learn the lessons late and change, than never. And really he Kalnzo Musyoka is not that old to fight for his soul and win himself back. --Cabral again: it is not too late for Kalonzo to fully ''regain his historical personality'' HISTORICAL PERSONALITY.(Subtext: Lying with your hands swearing on your mother's coffin is the ultimate proof of a lost historical personality). Like most Kenyan politicians, Kalonzo has never really recognised his potential, and therefore has always been confused about his selling points. This is because, in the rule in Kenya, all ambitious politicians however smart, start as cronies, and have to develop sycophantic traits to survive the warm place in the heart of whoever the dear leader patronising their careers. This process tends to kill worth, independence, initiative, self-knowledge and criticism. Sycophants must hide their true identity, kill off their autonomy of thought. Serving long as a sycophant, just like centuries of mediocrity in slavery, ends up depersonalising a human being. You know, like hostages who get broken in captivity, reminding of the stockholm syndrome. NB: Given the perpetual and ritual abuse of the Kenyan electorate by the Lords of impunity which we vote in every electoral cycle, decade in decade out, this psychiatric insight raises interesting possibilities. Traumatic bonding with our ethnic Kingpins! (totally dislocating us from our, yes, healthy ''historical personality'' -which would recognised them for what they are and have them killed or incarcerated for the ills they have wrought upon the nation. COMICAL RELIEF NOW: bulls eye Note: it was not ideological differences which drove Kalonzo off Uhuru's embrace. Part 3. how would Kalonzo become the flagbearer of CORD? given the current ruling mediocrity in Raila's Luo corner?

THE MOU THAT WAS!
Little did I know there was an MOU sealed at the Serena, binding the CORD luminaries. The signatories were Weta (the cry-baby of a circumcised man and old cuckold), Kalonzo (the perennial chameleon now reached and evolutionary dead-end?), and Raila, the eternal candidate now spent? -That would be a very sorry line-up, were it not that they are facing an equally unsightly incumbency.
Kenyan history learns MOU's can be re-interpreted given new developments. The famous one between Kibaki and Raila is a case in point. And the other comical one between Mudavadi and Uhuru too. Shetani ashindwe is how it ended. Mudavadi being the shetani.
Now, following the Kakamega mayhem and other incendiary tensions arising from the Coast, the CORD MOU is up for grabs. What to do? Repeat a historical set? that of Raila and Kalonzo running apart against Uhuru as they did against Kibaki, and guaranteed to lose? Teaching old dogs new tricks is quite a trial if not too tall an order. This farce of a stupidity may be what is on the cards now. (Jaramogi and Matiba running separately against Moi!)
But twice bitten is also shy. And it is never too late to learn. Kalonzo and Raila can surprise us. I stated my solution at the top of this thread direct: Kalonzo Tosha. That is Agwambi is doomed once again to sacrifice his ambition to unseat incumbency.
Now, how to prepare the frenziedly hungry Jaluos for it?
The Bukhusu's are joking and they know it. If Weta is what they are throwing into the field where gladiators like Ruto hold sword, then that is Mudavadi in 2013 all again. ritual slaughter for amusement. But what to do? You row with the oars you have? Or chicken out and live to put up a better fight another day?
Meanwhile CORD is squabbling, along ethnic fault lines! Talk about David Ndii and balkanisation!

RAILA'S HISTORICAL OPTION: KALONZO TOSHA!No need scratching heads for the solution. It is obvious. Now just the courage to be resigned to cruel reality. Had he had the long-term instincts, the presence of mind to resist clientellist corruptions; had he had the progressive authenticity of character to take seriously, the popular revulsion against corruption, the rigging and the duplicity of forked tongues, this option would not have arisen. But looking at the cannibalistic frenzy which is the ODM monopoly regime in Nyanza masquerading as devolution, Agwambo has no moral authority record to run on as ought. What remains fixed in the public mind is the image of a very heady political activist, in fact a fearsome political operator, antagonising every conservative mindset in the country at large. No, not a retiring, life-wisened statesman. If he were a competent statesman, he would have forged Luo Nyanza by now -in more than two decades of total dominance-- into a seductive beacon, irresistible vision. SHAKY TRINITY A triumvirate is per defination an unstable power arrangement. Well, as things stand now, there is confusion in CORD about the limping TRINITY. Thuondi adek e osera: Dwarre ariyo oro.
Mondo sundrwok orum, alwerelwere gi fwerefwere otiekre.The three principals of CORD should end the confusion and directionlessness by doing the obvious. Compromising on Kalonzo Musyoka as the flag bearer. Kalonzo is less combative, less divisive; he is an ideal compromise candidate. It is not for nothing he is a katikati man and a natural watermelon, but his chameleon days are over. Ruthlessly used by Uhuruto as VP then dumped humiliatingly, and watching Mudavadi later fall for the same trick with the same result, mereckons Kalonzo is healed. He finally grew up far past middle age! Better late than never! His ethnic base, the Bakamba, do not have the reputation for the abrasive headiness of Raila's stone throwers, nor the furtive duplicity of thieving Mumbi's, nor the mercenary naiveté of the loitering Mulembe, nor the secretive plotting of ruthless and closed Kalenjin. The Bakamba are least antagonistic, most diplomatic, they sure would not dance war dances at parliament square, like the Maa would to symbolically reclaim their Nairobi (lost land mass!) And we all love Kamba ladies. For every thinkable reason. The historical mission of the ka-Kamba presidency is to break the polarisation of the two battling royal houses, The Lake and The Mountain. Kalonzo must just uncharge the explosive Kenya --or the three of them must go under in infamy. Three blind men who wanted to lead a nation, yet could not even see themselves, let alone lead themselves! But should they settle on Kalonzo as the head of the ticket, Wetangula his deputy, and Raila the Libero, then erect can they charge through the political scene and fire the nation door to door. The will of the people against the tyranny of numbers. Battle royal. |

RAILA'S HISTORICAL OPTION: KALONZO TOSHA!
No need scratching heads for the solution. It is obvious. Now just the courage to be resigned to cruel reality.
.......
But should they settle on Kalonzo as the head of the ticket, Wetangula his deputy, and Raila the Libero, then erect can they charge through the political scene and fire the nation door to door. The will of the people against the tyranny of numbers. Battle royal. 1. In this post I operate from the premise, that, at this historical juncture, the presidency and other plums of the of the oen-colonial state of Kenya, are the reserve of the current comprador lot who are lording it out at the top. Thus the scramble for the presidency is an incestuous homerun for the elite. 2. The dominant rationale in the 2017 presidential tally still will be ethnic arithmetic. So let me patronise my fellow people of the lake with a short-put delivery, solar plexus style. It was always a bomb waiting to swing back. The wilful ODM elevation of the looter of Mumias, Evans Kidero, to the summit of the party. It was of course understood that the party was auctioning lucrative seats at exorbitant rates, enriching its owners in the process, and Kidero had the acumen to compromise the party and, through his infamous Harambee donations, turn the South Nyanza gullibles into beneficiaries of stolen goods, namely Mumias. Nothing strange there. Primitive accumulation does not have that much variations. And auction is just how the comprador parties work. At TNA it was Jimnah Mbaru, the long time Nairobi stock exchange top criminal as inside dealer, who influenced the party but could not buy out Ferdinand Waititu in time, nor could the party machinery be brought to tame the sewer rat Baba Yao. No secrets in Nairobi. The senator is the drug-dealer Sonko. And he isn't the only (ex) drug-dealer politically prominent around Nairobi for that matter. As the battle for Luhya supremacy escalates amongst the Mulembe minions, and moves go underhand to to consolidate the votes into one basket to bargain effectively ---(a Monolith like the rest of the ethnic groups), the saga of Mumias sugar was an open goal waiting to be scored to the detriment of the obvious. With the (half!) defection of Ababu Namwamba, and the attempt to accommodate Eugene Wamalwa within Jubilee, the time is just ripe for political fixers to play the Mumias card, with murderous glee. The proposition of Eugene Wamalwa for Nairobi Gorvenor presupposes the destruction of Evans Kidero, by the book, or by the hook, but both ways by crook. But why bother with small fry Kidero if the bigger fish Raila Odinga can be nabbed in the process and, a meal, hang out to writhe in the air!? And so we had the spectacle of the Mumias road being blocked by rowdy youth who accused Agwambo of killing the sugar miller by refusing to pay business debts. This event, definitely organised in my opinion, is of such cultural significance, I need to wax deliberative and long on it. So am working on a master footnote.To be posted relevantly when it crystallises full. Now -to give them their political science name---, of the petit bourgeoisie, comprador scum, kleptocratic dons of the tropical gangster state Kenya, who are best placed to be president, their CV's are not rocket science. On Jubilee side we have the Hustler William Ruto. Hustler and Singh! That is rotten to the core. self-explanatory. Uhuru Kenyatta is the scion of the Kenyatta estate, a fortune gathered on murder to maintain power and the corrupted use of that power to primitively accumulate. Raila, apart from corrupting Nyanza politically to retardation, is the criminal beneficiary of the Molasses plant and land, all given as a reward to enlengthen Moi's rotten rule. Wetang'ula is a ridiculous cuckold, with even a more sickening record at Turkana oil block and some embassy abroad. BAT stuff is minor. That leaves Kalonzo Musyoka. --Remember he used to be a nasty piece of KANU slime in them days we thought they would never end, yes, he was a most reactionary sycophantic bum under Moi. But, fast forward, he seems to only have the NYS land mention as his piece of the corruption pie. That is Mr. Clean!He is --the rest considered-- a saint! -The moral best of a lot best suited for hell, or, to quote the All-Bright Marilene pitching for her friend Hilary against the loathsome Bernie Sanders, best suited for that special place in Hell reserved by the Good Lord for particularly errant types. This is the lot we are going to vote one of to determine out future as a nation! Quick shudder, then I say knowledge is no reason to stop digging when in a hole! These are the birds at hand. And there is a saying about the worth of birds in such a situation. --So we deal with the situation coldly without wishful thinking. We are swimming in rot and comparing rot to find the least rot. And we are ethnic obsessed, truly like the Salafists of ISIS are PURITAN obsessed. After that raw sketch I can now turn to my fellow people of the lake. 1. Minding ethnic balance in CORD. If Raila is head of the ticket, it means the Luo go for both Nairobi governor and Presidency! That is HETHO. Greed. But with Kalonzo at the top of the ticket with Weta as VP, the rest of Kenya in Nairobi can be persuaded to vote the sugar challenged Evans, against any strategic Kale-Kikuyu candidate -- be he Muluhya Wamalwa, and, regardless of the huge import of Gikuyu voters from the outskirts of Nairobi mobilised by Dagoretti Waweru and Kamanda, CORD still bag the city. The rest of Kenya against two! Ara nyalie wa!With CORD fronting a Muluhya for vice president as the highest reward, Jubilee fronting Nairobi governor as the highest Muluhya becomes, comparatively, an insult at worst and a put down at best! And the sacrifice the Gikuyu monetary oligarchy would have to make in paving the way for Wamalwa in Nairobi is higher than Joluo would suffer in retiring Raila from the race for the top! With CORD sorted out in a caricature of the three musketeers, --Kamba President, Mulembe Vice, Onagi Nairobi governor, the battle shifts to the swing states: The non Kenya Pwani and the foreign NFD. Both heavily Muslim territories. The Maasai are won by serious land reform and financial recompense in actual policy. Kalonzo being the least land obsessed and compromised, would be more believable to the Maasai than a Kenyatta or a Hustler Singh. PWANI SI KENYA. And so Pwani determines the upset or not. Raila can go live in Pwani and campaign his heart out door to door, occasionally taking a break to accompany Kalonzo to Maaland and Turkana, and the Jubilee heartland's GEMA and the two Rifts of course. This is how I see the battle royal between the current crop of infirms who have a chokehold on the presidency in toto. We Luos must not cheat ourselves. Currently Nyanza is not an argument to bring to the table, it is not a show-case of achievement on organised leadership waiting to take any place, places! You can not run your own home, you can not run another man's home. We have to bite the bullet. We have to position our heaviest gun, Raila, where he would do the most damage. And that is as a libero mobilising the land behind a Kalonzo-Weta ticket. If Agwambo goes on this, guaranteed Jubilee collapses. Strategically thinking within the confines of a comprador lockdown on the national institutes like the presidency, we (Jokonagi) can live with the tragedy of Raila never being an official president. We have worthy consolation in the fact that he beat Emilio but was robbed! Then, as pragmatism would have it, half a loaf is better than no loaf. Raila's influence will be undiminished under a Kalonzo presidency. You ---I can not say we because I have already moved on like yesterday--- now move on to groom Rosemary to be the first Kenyan Margaret Thatcher in due course. Openly. That is she will be in Kalonzo's cabinet! NB: You worry: Why should Kalonzo still pay attention to Raila soon as he is inaugurated? Answer: re-election. The same reason Uhuru Kenyatta can not toss William under the bus, much as he would love. Political realities are ruthless. Powerful men too are hostage to them. Otherwise they are but deluded fools. I see much confusion in Nyanza. There is need for some shake down. Apat apat moko e lemb josiasa mofuwo, ila gavana swaini ma nyoro wero wer achiel magalagala chande.! |

This event, definitely organised in my opinion, is of such cultural significance, I need to wax deliberative and long on it. So am working on a master footnote.
To be posted relevantly when it crystallises full. There is something called a scarecrow ... it might look like this ...   It is usually a dummy orchestrated to scare off pests. One comes across many versions of the scarecrow in African farmlands. In some communities it is simply called birdscarer. Similar to the scarecrow in expression is a skeleton in the cupboard which can come tumbling out at a very inopportune time, say for a politician. So I turned to culture to help me combine the two events into a walk in the treacherous field of Kenyan politics as the battle for the Mulembe nations heats up. 1. Mumias is a skeleton in the cupboard of ODM, more so the most powerful politician therein, Raila Odinga. 2. Tawfiq Ababu and (the area Mpig) Washiali, desperately digging deep into their bag of tricks, came up with an old African remedy to scare the beast stalking their voter farmland. They quickly built up a scarecrow. It was a hasty job, and a bit of a cock-up, but it had to be done since Ababu's repulse moves at his Budalangi hometurf had proved inadequate to stall the bulldozer. By hindsight now, Ababu has even lost the propaganda war with revelations the beaten cameraman was a plant, and the talk of buzzed in Raila supporters to beef up the crowds an open lie. But the misfire of the tricks at Busia led to the hasty scarecrow scenario at Mumias. Here is the a photographers impression of the Mumias scarecrow   One only need to check the records of the Parliamentary commission on Agriculture on the Mumias Sugar factory to unearth the duplicity of these Mulembe Mpigs now bringing Mumias up to embarrass Raila. Then of course Ababu himself was once chairman of PAC! He has not been open on whether Kidero bought him off or not. But fact is he was one of those dogs which never barked in nor on time. -That he is barking now is good, but it only proves he is his new master's dog, swinging tail and issuing a weakly woof to earn some dangling bone. This is why the scarecrow acting out a roadblock on Raila's path did not look like cane-farmers would look! I once saw cane farmers and cane cutters who were angry at Muhoroni. Only Onyango Midika could venture near them. They were bare-chested brutes who flashed pangas and moved like a Roman column of merciless death. The were, as they say, dead serious. Yes, the anti Agwambo scarecrow at Mumias was a ridiculous affair. A bit like the former SG who has left the party and is agitating against it, but records show he has neither officially resigned his capacity nor quit the party. In deed in parliament he is still registered as an ODM Mpig! Aiyayayayayaya! Chineke the bird learnt to single out dummy scarecrows and feed on! Continued. |

UHURU KENYATTA ON FIRE, BALL IN KALONZO'S COURT!
Stung by charges of abdication, backed into a corner with members of his family outed faking disability to loot at the health ministry, the son of Jomo psyched himself for a fearsome lung at Raila Odinga. The fencing is fierce, brutal and raw. Howbeit he did not mention him by name, howbeit no one present or absent had any doubts who he meant. The delivery was a top performance.
'Ukishandana na mtu ambaye hana sera, shida yake ni ya kwamba, siasa yake lazima iwe siasa ya vurugu na vita; siasa yake lazima iye ya propaganda; siasa yake lazima iwe ya matusi na matope!'
Ringside seat!
This acknowledgement, albeit implicit, is a problem for Kalonzo and Wetangula. These two are Raila Odinga's competitors for the CORD ticket, but the other side is not fooled. The Jubilee flag-bearer clearly identifies his chief opponent, the one he fears most, the one who gives him sleepless nights. Kalonzo and Weta are not worth a single line of attack. All ruthless, primed and fearsome charges, sword lungs and counters are at Raila Odinga. The contest is obvious. This is the painful reality of Kenyan politics.
Mudavadi can attack Jubilee all the much he likes. Nothing doing. Wetangula can attack, Kalonzo can attack, but somehow the swords are plastic, rubbery and toy. The Kenyatta Odinga feud is where the fire is. Can Kalonzo live with this reality, and design a strategic campaign, based on the fact that if he becomes the head of the CORD ticket, he will be hard pressed to show he is not a baby on Raila's lap?
Yes he can, but it is steep.
Kalonzo is Mr. Clean, but when the gloves are off, and they are now, he looks Mr. Soft. The arena where no prisoners are taken does not look his kind of thing. He is unable to blind Ruto's eye with a single jab, pivoting in the same movement to dent the jaw of Muigai into glazy eyes. This is what Kalonzo handlers have for homework. To be the president he is capable of being, he has to pass through a baptism of fire. Show fight, show the ability to get the full combat attention of the opponent. He has to, at least, show potential to scare Uhuruto as much as Tinga scares them. He must learn grit and iron, otherwise Uhuruto will ride him with the contempt they did him when he was in the G-something series; ride him like they rode Mudavadi with the ICC trick he foolishly fell for.
As for Luo Nyanza, the laugh is on us. Ranguma, Rasanga, Awiti -our weakly if not cheapish excellencies, can not come up and convincingly rebut Uhuru's citation of Mutahi Ngunyi: he is the lord of poverty!
There is also the question of guts, which is where Otieno Nyakwamba Kajwang' is sorely missed. Uhuru Kenyatta's sister and cousins and more in a transparent act of looting, using front companies, insider dealing and entrenched graft, have just been exposed at the Mafya house. I can just picture Otieno Kajwang' on a podium with his grin expanding, a fly whisk theatrically on limp: 'Yawa, this Rais whose family have booked cell space at Kamiti for the abject greed of denying children medicine, while themselves faking disability for preferential treatment, is calling Raila the lord of poverty!? He is the lord of child mortality rates and empty phrases! And, Omera Ouru, did you forget to check the debt you have accumulated in 3 years!? Any moron however wasteful can fund a railway, solar lamps and a few referral hospitals serving as morgues, when they triple the debt portfolio of a land in a year! --dhi kucha gi propaganda mofuwo ka rombe mipidho e state house!'
But in his preference for sycophantic cheaps, Amollo is now surrounded by Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest!
Ruto asked why all these electricity and roads were not done when these others were in power. Chiromo guy busy at the lab of zoology, he did not catch main campus Mwai Kibaki in his economic theory of reducing debt, managing infrastructural debt and re-directing efficiency within internally collected revenues, eyeing sustainable long-termism!
But, who cares about debt sustainability? that is a detail. It is not important. These speeches are propaganda and to hell with factology! And that is why we are like a ship sailing blind.
Toy boys compete to rule the land
Their minds no better than their hinds
The nation chokes in fuming exhaust
Kumbaya my Lord this wait is too long!

KALONZO IN DEFAULT --Mr. Nice = Mr. Weak? If Ouru Kenyatta abdicated his auspices as head of state, Kalonzo too is ramshackle as future head of state, abdicating his auspices as contender head of NASA. He should pull up his socks now, show he is full of fight, put more thrust in his punch, call more peoples bluffs! (Wacha tu nicheke na huyu William Singh sa huu, but first thing I do as president is to send him to Kamiti for that stolen land he built the Weston Hotel on!? ama nyinyi mnachoma wezi kuku na wezi ma bilioni waende wasi!?) that is a good call of bluff! Here is a a back up. In a week which saw a possible human rights crime committed by the Jubilee administration at the ministry of health, Kalonzo's inability to draw blood should be worrying to his handlers –--if they are men and women who really want him to go places. Up Up and more Up. This former KANu minister of foreign affairs and defender of bullsh!t, this later reputed water melon, needs a metamorphosis whose depths he is yet to fathom apparently. He misses to score in too many open goal situations! he is asking to be substituted, or be bypassed or ignored by impatient bulls from his backyard like Machakos Mutua! The ministry of health has lost between 3 billion and +5b, on the preliminary audit. The 3 billion is now a figure admitted by the relevant minister Mailu and his respective P secretary, Muraguri, after at first going ballistics in denial. In deed they went to the extent of threatening the scooping journalist and suing his paper. (I took some time out to think out how toads like Nicholas Muraguri (PS) conduct their thought processes and decided their minds are incorrigibly corroded by the delusions of power. We saw similar pathology in Waiguru before she fell; now she is telling us to help her find the PUPPETEERS who made her do the things she did! I am not saying we should not rush to the ladys help, I am just saying we should whip her phat butt in the process too, for a bit of entertainment!)Anyway: So what about possible crimes against humanity? –--for that, one has to simply check the child mortality rates in Kenya, work out the minimum budget needed to save infant lives, and get the picture. I will help doubting Toms. This maternal genocide, added to deliberate infanticide, I count a crime against humanity. I invite you to laugh, but take the precaution of looking behind your back. I come from Homa Bay. One of the leading causes of healthy deaths –--that is deaths not from starvation nor other nutrition-deficiency related statistics, is an affliction called ROTA. Actually it is a massive bout of diarrhoea, and extensive fluid loss like is typical of cholera, but clinical literature classifies it differently. Cholera is bacterial, ROTA is viral. At first, ORS (oral rehydration salts) will stabilise. But mostly there is need for hospitalisation and utilisation of a DRIP. What is a drip? (IVF) A drip is when a vein has to be found in the infant's tiny arm, a needle inserted so that a life-saving solution, elixir, can be administered. It has to be slow. Over two days, this stuff works out to a 30K bill at a self-respecting hospital like Aga-Khan. How about at the local dispensary like Russia, or, as you prefer, Jaramogi Odinga referral morgue? –-The bill is still outside possibilities of women making a living out of hustling and hawking vegetables hither and yonder. Now imagine how many ORS-kits a billion shillings can buy!  knowterrorists.com/africa-hunger-pictures/ What happens in the urban slums is therefore that when infants get critical, their parents, and many are single women, call the WAKE FRONT, and the prayer leader begins to lead the soul fo the soon to die. –-Urban sociology practical lessons: coping with announced deaths of infants in impoverished areas. What would 3 billion Kenya shillings accomplish? For those of us who see poor Kenyan parents consider the death of their beloved infants a routine of life, it is a sum to kill for. It is an infanticide-ending budget, a genocide-terminating kitty. When in one week, even if it is urban sociological research in disadvantaged areas, one attends an average of three wakes where young African women weep around a dying ROTA child who can be saved for less than a 15K drip-session, the issue ceases to be academic no more. And when the health ministry steals at least 5bn of the infant's health care, and the President throws his arms in the air helpless he claims, and the opposition leaders are nowhere to be seen except for token grunts of disapproval, I will lower my standards.Don't laugh. I will say, no need reading these vermin their Miranda. Or even better, why bother with even a kangaroo trial, just get down to the chase: dispatch. The dead infants and their mothers can not get justice in the judicial mess Mutunga left behind. I saw Josephine Kabura before PAC,a horror show! there is need for a reality check in the land. My heart has grown cold, and too fierce for such comedy shows. My face an indifferent mask.

THE MOU RIGMAROLE, TOWARD HONOUR AMONG BANDITSThere is no honour among thieves of course, neither is there honour among bandits. But usually, in professional bandits and thieves, this treacherousness expresses itself after the successful heist. The professional rule is bandits do not double-cross each other before the job, otherwise there will never be enough momentum and mutual drive, nor dynamism to pull a successful robbery, or act of banditry off. Those are jobs where real risks are run, where something, e.g ones life, is put on the line. After the job, it can be everybody for himself, which leads to a round of revenge, gangland slayings. To remedy this ruinous everybody for himself short sightedness, the gang came up as a unit, family and clan unit. That is an attempt at PERMANENCE. The gang, as a sociological phenomenon, is a tighter organisation, with an all out ruthless bend to pursue forever and punish traitors ---and their offspring------- with death. The gangs, criminal syndicates like The Mafia (Italian), dubbed themselves men of honour. It simply meant any act of treachery would be punished by death. This is the imposition of 'good' criminal behavior. But these days, with the advent of the cocaine trade in Latin America, the Italian Mafia looks a tame racket. IDENTITY POLITICS  This is just to relativise the statement there is no honour among thieves. One may have to specify from which class the thieves spring, of which one waxes lyrical about as HONOURLESS. So I specify I am talking about the Kenyan petty bourgeoisie politician. Here --MPIGS LAND--- there is indeed no honour. This means the MOU's they sign are always up for grabs, are temporary ceasefires to cross one bridge and then basta. So it was with Kibaki and Raila, so it was with Kalonzo and Kibaki (Kibaki promised to support Kalonzo succeed him), so it was with Uhuruto and Mudavadi (shetani ashindwe), and so now it is with the Raila-Kalonzo corded deal. It limited Agwambo to a single presidency, or was it a single joint-run, regardless of the result!? (a lawyer's feeding frenzy at interpretation!) The MOU is dead. NASA is taking water, and that is Jubilee rising to certainty. Now let the lawyers play smart alecs with themselves splitting hairs over the content. In the real world, NASA is currently dead and sinking, until they find a new float formula ---if they can. Now they are warring against themselves and handing it to Jubilee. Jubilee simply looks better because it is relatively stable in its ticket. Uhuru is constant as Jubilee head, DP Ruto can see off Bomet CCM Rutto and KANU Gideon Moi in his hometurf. That he can. And with Kalonzo, Raila and Mudavadi bent on running as independents, committing electoral suicide, we can now move on, FF to discuss the Kenyatta succession 2022. That is the game in town. Last time around, rumour had it Jimnah Mbaru was asked to cough up 500M to buy off Baba Yao. He refused and so ended his governorship drive. Now, the rumour goes Peter Kenneth has been asked to cough up a certain amount! It is a rip-off amount which shocked Sir Peter, before a Nairobi Mpig allied to the Dagoretti man reminded him thus: 'this is about the Presidency Peter, not the governorship! A top price is warranted!' May be Peter and his financial backers didn't have the presidential rate ready, which is why he has to face off against Mike Sonko. May be they had the rate ready and the combat to be witnessed is merely ritual show! Another MOU. In any case, the only game in town is the Uhuru succession. NASA needs a top plumber.

ON MUSALIA MUDAVADI, RAILA ODINGA, KALONZO MUSYOKA, AND THE BOARDROOM DUPES! How can the masses decide
Aren't they sheep of no mind?
Those born to rule must not abdicate
They must wait to be removed in doom!
Of the people by the people for the people?
The heavenly kingdom taking its time a-comingI wish I could discount it as grimed propaganda, the recent report, following Mbuvi Sonko's TV meltdown, that Musalia Mudavadi's futile, actually abortive vie for the presidency in 2013, was the half-baked brainchild of the mentally offbeat but elitist Gikuyu thinktank, headed by their then houseboy pet consiglieri, professor Nick Wanjohi. Nick was performing under Mwai Kibaki, and in the detail too, was another DP-allied Kibaki cousin from Laikipia. The latter was acting as the paymaster general. It was essentially a coup against the abrasive Muthamaki's ascendancy. The instincts of this posh, pretentious wing of Gikuyu money was Uhuru with his ICC infection was too toxic for business. A malleable, wormy-spined Musalia would just be fine. Of course fixing the future of whole peoples, or pretending to (so as to secure power and nyakua their resources) is a favourite pastime of incumbent power, ever plotting away in posh boardrooms and vile courts. Outsiders never know what the exclusive Bilderberg group agree to, whenever they gather in their tight-lipped occultically white conclaves. THE SEVEN SISTERS Perhaps highly illustrative too, will be the Al-Jazeera documentary, The seven sisters, Energy Corps, sharing the oil-spoils of the world. A Kartel. Watch for the detail of the political murder of the career of Mohammad Mosaddegh, the elected Iranian Prime Minister who nationalised oil fields. ---Oil!? Turkana nationalists here we come! Now, FF to a speech by Khomeini on the declaration of the Islamic republic. The Imam beseeched Allah, His Name ever High, to bear him witness before his people. 'Moussadeg was a man of secular ways, but heretofore and forever in all Iranian history, accord him the honour reserved only for the Prophet!' Or so my guide informed me in my wanderings around that world.    The men who, with treacherous heart for Iran, toasted their famous victory over Moussadeg and crusaded to have their pet, The Shah of Persia, inducted to the realms of divinity as a freedom fighter and pillar of stability, may emerge from their graves to wonder if Shakespeare was really right. The bard famously claimed hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. May be the fury of a degraded nation refinding its pride surpasses the imaginations of even the greatest of bourgeois romantic poets. Last time I heard, Harvadian ace Barrack Obama had washed his hands of the Iranian hot potato and handed it over to a buffoon and his mad dog troupe. Lo, very fine we hardly ever learn anything from history. Fixing peoples futures never goes according to the colonial, patronising plan, a plan always out to swindle others of their territorial wealth, dignity and futures. This clash of intentions makes history a very interesting read but a touch too bloody. Saddam Hussein's invasion of Iran was facilitated by the same clique of rogues to derail the rising Islamic republic. The self-professed grandmasters of the geo-political game. Last time I checked, modern Iraq hardly looks anything in the neighbourhood of the status of Iran. But O! The vanities of men!
Hard-headedly ever butting!
Like rams fooled by own reflection
ever charge-ramming a shadow on a rock!So did MDVD the son of Mudamba swallow Nick Wanjohi's line to the sinker. He absconded last minute, in double-crossing fashion from his deputy captaincy of the ODM. Mesays it is the kind of gullibility or downright stupidity (at the top) which needs a 'classical' take. He wanted to reap where he did not sow. He wanted to be the beneficiary by default in a power-game, wanted to have the presidency apportioned to him by the graces. Howbeit even at the village dance, always attended by the local rogues and bullies, every boy knows the village beauty is not handed over on a bono-bed (as the case used to be said), but a boy who had the village top c.unt, would surely spot a few scars, thanks to the no-holes-barred ruthless competition. There is the added element which gives rise to the folklorish all is fair in war and love: enraged and amok, even if only in feigned jealousy and envy, and necessarily oblivious to the individual preference of the booty, such village ruffians can take their turns spoiling the beautiful sport for everybody, succeeding themselves in a game of monopoly in the bono bed. This is the 'classical' take in power and politics, where, for instance in Africa, the rape of colonialism is succeeded by a continued rape under neo-colonialism. Much of elsewhere too, every page of history is painted in blood colours; free and fair elections are more myth than reality, and political succession is a game of cloaks and daggers, treachery and horror deals behind the scenes. Or should I say deals like the (Kenyan) MOU's with the half life of a who-re's loyalty? OPPORTUNITY COST OF MUDAVADI'S DEFECTION Nb: with Kalonzo's one foot already sticking outside the NASA tent, we are at it again! no!? Mudavadi's true role in 2013 was to deny a CORDED victory. Now, born again in the the political cold, he supposedly wants to atone. It is a karma tribute to Raila Odinga, that he was always drawn to this weak-minded slime addicted to political parasitism. But there is more of the same at the top! From the biography of one, Kalonzo Musyoka, we glean the perennial KATIKATI man too, wanted, was promised and believed the same: If he supported Mwai Kibaki --who had stolen the elections in 2007 against Raila, Ruto and Mudavadi, Emilio Mwai would award him his lame-duck stamp of approval for the succession, since, wait for it, it would be the turn of a non-Gikuyu, and anything but the Luo rogue would do!I swear there is no limit to the bullsh!it politicians will swallow on account of their egos! Don't loose your respects for these creatures yet. They are goats yes, but such are still cleverer than sheep, at least I think so (without reading lower case animal biology!). If most animals can be trapped using their rampant and libidinous mating instincts as lure, similarly can outmatched and over ambitious wannabes be tricked by their vanity to blunder them unto oblivion. An import into the class complexes of the comprador ------political zoology, might be more essential here than insectology, but the morbidity of sexual cannibalism adds a nasty and dark spice to a bloody subject which, otherwise, may sound like a clinical exercise in academic nonsensology. Today, enjoying the skskulduggery Within the state looters and posho-pushers, I do not want 'academic abstractia' to get in the way of a good classical story, one with poetic chimes to boot. Some will know of the story how Nissos the Kentaur tricked Megara with his dying words. He said his blood was a love portion which would endear and tether the wandering heart her husband, Heracles, to her forever and ever. But his blood was of course the boiling venom of a thousand scorpion cobras! That pretty much put paid to the co.cky wanderings of the husband upon the rolling-buttocked earth, but at the price of widowhood. Mudavadi is a kid really. Kalonzo a kid really. And I remember Raila too joined KANU's decomposing Moi (in guise of the famous CO-OPERATION) on the basis of an MOU that Moi would anoint Him successor! (Why Moi would do that seeing all that bloody revenge he enacted on Raila's co-plotters of the 1982 August coup, is a story for another day on the Luo thread!) In our Kenyan MOU's we trust I bet! By the people, of the people, for the people? Ah!? O they yarns we spin because we are scared of democracy! Wherefore the universal suffrage idea, that the Kenyan electorate should freely choose is obviously always a plan C for these people! Some wicked Nissos sells them a lot of snake oil for love portions! And like poor me who always falls in love however painful the last break, the goats jump to the bottom of the hole!Again and again every election cycle! It sets the stage for tears and grief, and much regret. THE CHILDISHLY INNOCENT MDVD But Mudavadi has an advantage. Apart from being childish, he is simple. That makes him likeable enough. A simpleton with no nastiness in him, .... yet. Such a child is easy to forgive, for he knows not what he does, Father. But he could do with a little trip to the purgatory and a painful mea culpa ringed out of him before Wanjiku. By way of growing up some. KALONZO THE WEAK PUNCHER My instinct is that Kalonzo is too much of a weak puncher. He is Mr. Clean, but opposing a really dirty Jubilee regime, he has been unable to make punch-way to the top of national consciousness as the Broom to clean the Uhuruto dungpile away! Imagine if he was really THE HITMAN FROM UKAMBANI!? if he were a toiling puncher delivering incessant head and body blows to the opponent! For sooth Uhuru and his band of thieves wouldn't dare show their heads anywhere outside state house! Clean Kalonzo would have QUARANTINED them off, locked them out under the banner of ZERO TETOLERANCE on corruption. And zero-toleranc would of course lock out Raila and Mudavadi too. (MDVD is Angloeasing and Goldenberg and the kind of financial Mayhem Raila tolerates within his Luo governors in Nyanza is of course incompatible with Mr. Clean's running mate!) Kalonzo's clean punch is thus ever limp, a shrivelled member which awes not neither the competition nor the who-re price! And so Kalonzo continues to be a mealy-mouthed prize-fighter nearly being overshadowed by renegade young upstar bulls like Goebbels Machakos Mutua! A bit of a hype really. Will the real Kalonzo emerge or this Kalonzo shut-up! This mealy-mouthed Musyoka with his KATIKATI instincts does not have the inner passion to propel his ambitions in his own (made-up clean) image. He continues to cut a picture of a dealmaker in the dark, which means a man more schooled in intrigues than substance. I think William Ruto and Uhuru Kenyatta, when they were facing the ICC bleak, must have read his character and concluded he couldn't be trusted with their fate, so they chucked him unceremoniously out of the the G-somethings. Mudavadi too they --the condemned--- must have read as too easy to influence. Powerful forces aiming to inherit Uhuru and Ruto's empires and bury the duo forever would have soon convinced him to help have them locked in the Hague forever, for that would be the best for Kenya! William Ruto has often visited this theme with such bitter passion in public that convinces me this fear was real. And which political psychiatrist wants to swear it was pure paranoia!? You know the value of our MOU's don't ya!? Shetani ashindwe! Ashindwe Kabisa! Uhuru said. Muigai himself was at first gullible enough to miss the possible dead-end import, good riddance in above Nick Wanjohi scenario. It took William Ruto to say No, NO WAY! and drive sense into Kenyatta's court, to bring him back to the top of the ticket. And then unleashed on the campaign trail we all saw Ruto THE WORKAHOLIC in prayer rally after prayer rally, week in week out. He took Kenyatta through his paces in the ringer of public exposure, pitching, seducing, cajoling Wanjiku. Those prayer rallies which swung the mood in the country, denouncing the ICC and banging the drums of patriotism and even Pan-Africanism, accusing Raila of plotting to dance on their graves with his colonial friends, were HARD WORK. And William Ruto is a workaholic once he has made up his mind. As I watch the NASA chieftains perform, dilly-dally with lots of foot in mouth, I think they have not learnt their lessons yet. They want to hang a part together and have Uhuruto make an easy meal of them. They are lazy old men doing a jig here and a gig there, and their wiles which could compensate their decreased energy levels, are wanting and off track. They are busier plotting against each other than keeping their eyes on the top price. They are like digging their own graves together. Can these old dogs learn new tricks in old age? Four months they have to work a miracle or have some event, O events, to save them! A hint to Kalonzo ---Read the Lion and the Jewel of Soyinka. And 2. Do you know why the whole state machinery is after G-001Joho!?He has one devastating quality which separates the men from the boys. It is called courage. And then a mouth! I will meditate on this quality shortly. For meseems Uhuruto's nightmare has become governor 001 and not whoever emerges to front NASA this year. Kalonzo is still tosha, your lesser evil! i will be back! |

STEELING KALONZO'S PUNCH Joho may have got a D-minus, and carries around him the smears of pharmacy –--like Uhuruto the stench of a state rotting in graft, but G-001 seems to possess in abundance that which makes a man a man. It is called courage. This is what distinguishes the men from the boys (or as the saying goes since Thatcher, Iron Ladies from puszies). And nowhere is courage more needed than when power becomes abusive, and the rulers full of impunity. Why did Mandela served 25+ years? Jomo Kenyatta 10, and, if you bother to keep tab, why are those who served the longest SOLITARY CONFINEMENT in the USA jails, blacks aligned to the black ' consciousness' panthers party? Their crimes were black consciousness, deep sense of self-awareness, historical self mapping and thinking and acting for the own self and kind, remembering Steven Biko too. It is when a boy stands up against oppression, even if he is a former pimp like a late great Black leader in the USA, that he will know Shakespeare is wrong! A scorned woman hathn't the fury of threatened power. (OTHERWISE: It is when a woman grows balls and dares challenge Papal orthodoxy or patriarchal divinity that she will be burnt as a witch!) It is so with G-001-Joho, that the alleged crimes he is being shadowed for by the Kenyan state are not the issue. Pharmacy? They are more prominent, wholesale pharmacists around town e.g the Othaya Narc activist. Untouchable no doubt. In fact, Jubilee is the political home of such chemists. See the American list! ODM is more a petty smugglers paradise, a small town looters mess, and, occasionally, big-time parastatal sackers like Kidero. But with thieves like Nico Muraguri promoted from health to Lands, with every state tender a rip-off scandal, and the Eurobond kitty unto thin air melted, unleashing KRA sleuths on Joho's accounts accounts for what it is, state vengeance on behalf of the injured ego of the president, as a would-be King of Hearts thwarted. For the bigger picture –----we will follow the politics and money of Big Port economies elsewhere. The battles over the who-res Shanghai, Singapore, New York, Baltimore, LA, Rotterdam, Hongkong, Osaka, Beirut, are documented enough. And come to think of it, what really was that Trojan war all about? Container ports and ship rests!? But before all that big game, there is of course the short-term interest of 2022. Joho, like Peter Kenneth, like William Ruto and Evans Kidero, are in the thick of things. But Joho seems to have something the rest do not have. For starters he achieved the name Sultan by fronting the ODM faction of CORD in a clean sweep of Mombasa seats in 2013. The not ODM votes went to sister Wiper. Those are your Omar Hassans and Hezron Awitis. And nobody talked of rigging. That means anybody going to be running against Joho on anything, has to take note. A man must have something apart from pushing posho to have that kind of electoral appeal. It could even be an articulation of historical grievance, who knows? But the powers that be have decided they can not match him openly, so they must bring the state to bear heavily upon him. I guess in the old Kenyatta days, they would do a JM on him. State-orchestrated bureaucratic lynching. Kalonzo must find his voice quick, a voice which rhymes with the masses, a voice which packs grassroots gravitas and not boardroom MOU's, so that he does not, like Mudavadi under the spell of Nick Wanjohi, sit around waiting for free-bies, while, in truth, a fly caught fluttering in a spiders web, soon to breath its last. Kalonzo must go out there and get scars in combat, accumulate red badges of courage like Joho. Or people like Alfred Mutua et al will piss on him as they pass him by. And should he follow Nyenze's advise and bolt from NASA, is that really not just another route to oblivion. The Emali declaration not withstanding. Either they hang together and possibly deliver, or hang apart together and certainly go under –----sooner than the August date. For as soon as NASA breaks, it is a foregone coronation! Muthamaki Hoye! Uhuruto Huraah! Footnote: explaining JM to millennials. |

Footnote: explaining JM to millennials. Took me some time to come to it. jukwaa.proboards.com/thread/9421/kariuki-robert-ouko-murders NB: My experience in Kenyan classrooms reveals to me millennials tend not to know what, or who JM was or is. Of course many do not care, but for the benefit of those millennials of higher aptitude who may be bothered, hear me wax offside. JM is Josiah Mwangi Kariuki. He was the Mpig for Nyandarua North, murdered 1975 March. BTW: budding Phd student and former Intelligence chief Michael Gichangi, whose fortunes and downs I traced here, might just feel the higher need to write an insiders thesis on this infamous episode. That is if a phat chance were to exist he could get an inkling of a higher calling than re-mouthing platitudes, or rehashing the bland non-committal poker blurbs of rote, habitual intelligence subterfuge. Happy man or dead mind? (thinking of McNamara about wars and Generals!) May be folks like yours truly might just be obliged to help the dyed-in-the wool soldier (read robotised mind) take his first tentative steps at critical thinking! That is what we born walimu live for -----serially betrayed KNUT/KUPPET/UASU CBA's or not! (to watch old virgin minds open up for thought, like shy thighs, or lips, for the first taste of stiff c.ock, is a reward in itself! Hossana Hossana!)Now he, JM, immersing himself within the people and getting contaminated with their aspirations, was evolving toward 'class suicide', wherefore with his glib tongue and populist touch he was a flashing clear and present danger to the thieving establishment. His aim at the presidency, a whisper increasingly resonating around the country, would be a worst-case scenario to the ruling KANU clique. So he was liquidated, under the watch of the father of the nation, Kenyatta snr. And he continues to be obliviated under the sun!   And here is a caption from Rosemary Kariuki, the daughter. Gichangi's delayed Phd thesis, unredacted, any takers! Truthers I mean!? At least the man Kenya wanted to forget, TJ Mboya, has been memorably rehabilitated outside the National Archives,  but JM is still wholly in the cold. In fact the 21st March, which used to be his commemoration day when University student Politics still produced the ilk of Mapambano Kajwang' and Mgangha Mwandawiro, is eerily silent nowadays. There is a dark saying about a people who do not know their history. They are pretty easy to manipulate and fool out of their future! Rosemary Kariuki Waithaka: Unquenchable thirsts to know? Fires burning inside to remind? NEW CONSTITUTION, OLD BOOKS I in my tomb of amnesia
drunk on the drops of the Lethe
I serve you your history of Kenya
I spin a yarn as fake as our Democracy
Which is but a kicking lootocratic plutocracy
Where the essentials of book keeping are extinct!
JM had us under hypnosis
But BG the hero cop and co
Saved us from the populist trance
No doubt Robert Ouko committed suicide
Then overcome with grief at his vile deed
Changed his mind and did a resurrection gimmick
But only to burn his own body and hide his odd tracks
In the land of no truthers
What is a fact but an alternative meaning?
O Teiresias of Thebes, how I miss thou blind in sight! |

MUTHAMA SPITS ON KALONZO
Muthama is the senator who was groped by Jubilee Mpigs during the famous melee in which Moses Kuria allegedly licked his fingers to the last dew, having seized the pandemonium to indulge his consuming fantasy, that is to finger Millie Odhiambo. Jubilee Mpigs of unknown sex tore down Muthama's trousers and held him by the balls as it were. Now he says he wont defend his Nachakos senate seat, lest they sodomise him!
Muthama will not be supporting Kalonzo, but he will be campaigning for Raila. Moi, that is Gideon, will not be supporting the Hustler Ruto, but he will campaign vigorously for his fellow royal, Uhuru Kenyatta. That kind of fellow then.
For a challenger, NASA looks unfocused, lazy and chaotic. They do not miss an opportunity to score an own goal, and the tally keeps on rising. Then there is the pettiness surrounding the elite of conglomerate. Raila's siblings Jakoyo and Oburu are drinking one another's blood over there, MDVD and Weta are having a sub, sub ethnic domestic over there, and here we have Muthama and Kalonzi rolling in the mud in public. It is a tidy mess. This way they can not punch Uhuruto to the ropes, even as the chances to come thick and fast. Howbeit, on the contrary, it is Jubilee on the offensive. The simplicity with which Uhuruto can send Mr. Clean groggy and wobbly in the knees is a marvel to behold. They simple had their pawn at the NGO's coordination board, Executive Director Fazula Mahamed, freeze the accounts, declaring them secret and illegal. But the innuendo is interesting. In fact its propagandistic value is immense
1. it is like Kalonzo, a former VP and possibly the next VP, is a paid agent of foreign powers! is a running dog being run by dark characters of ill intentions to Kenya!
Or
2. Ruto wants his money back. The money he, in hind sight, was duped by brokers into paying out in the belief the Katikatiman (as Ruto ever derides him) could be bought to betray Raila last minute. This money is too much for William to write off as bad venture, bad investment. He just has to confiscate it back!
NASA, the challenger, is behaving like it is entitled, a bit like Peter Kenneth moving to Nairobi, expecting expecting a warm embrace from the riff-raff. Nasty surprise. Kalonzo must learn quick how to put steel in a punch, break Ruto's jaw in the same spin which doubles Kenyatta down with his balls kicked.
NB: Kalonzo will remember how tough Ruto is. He describes it well, in his book, how Ruto forced Kenyatta to both get rid of Kalonzo and Mudavadi as anointed successors to Kibaki. Ruto had served under Mudavadi long long time ago in ODM, and knew MDVD is no fighter. His body language used to ooze so much contempt it was sickening to watch.
'My brother in the spirit of transparency, we inform you we are going to Burundi to meet president Nkurunziza, and sister Charity has kindly agreed to come along!' Uhuru told Kalonzo in his home in Karen as the fixer Jimmy Wanjigi played wet nurse. (Kalonzo's presidential ambitions were still born, and a kind-heart needed take care of the corpse!) And Ngilu wasn't mourning, quite the opposite, strip teasing for the dynamic duo.
Now I say it for the last time. Get a punch, Kalonzo. It is the only way a man gets rid of perpetual contempt. You are everybody's punching bag. Rise, punch back, break a nose, kick Uhuru's balls, try being a man for once ---in case you want be president of a republic that is.
The price of daily foof stuffs in the kiosk alone is enough weapon to break Kenyatta's legs with. He, Kalonzo, do you have the guts to ask: how can the richest Kenyan dynast feel the pain of the Wanjiku, while his family got rich robbing the same Wanjiku?

(like credit-fuelled booms)
) possibly. (The 'Katikati man' helped a beleaguered Kibaki to a social majority in 2008, thus sticking a dagger in Raila's back after the rigged elections. It is the kind of behaviour which gives a man a bad name, especially remembering Jaramogi Odinga refused a chance to be president with Jomo Kenyatta in jail: ''Uhuru na Kenyatta'', the Luo man whose son's pension is now blocked by Uhuru insisted. It is a story that illuminates the different calibers of men. But I will remind, that during one of the infamous G-? rallies, Kalonzo Musyoka said he wouldn't be a president if Ouru and Ruto were sitting in a foreign jail! I remember this incident because I made a CULTURAL note of it in my lessons: As Kibaki's VP he did not appear to mind claiming seniority in hierarchy to PM Raila, the rigged-out, rightful winner of the immediate past election.
