DP RUTO'S CARAVAN OF BANDITS, The comprador dynasty caught in a feeding frenzy
In case you are a troglodyte, you missed the current 'witch hunt' which, artful deflection strategies, is the narrative the current (much-ado-about-a-nothing-doing) war on corruption has taken. Nevertheless, the heightened tension further fuelled by succession politic, has managed to transfix DP'Ruto's immediate entourage as the epicentre of corruption in Government. In a bite back, the Kapsaret Mpig Oscar Sudi sarcastically jested -HA! Lifestyle audits! Start with the first thief in chief, your father Jomo Kenyatta!
I would rather the old corpse were exhumed and interrogated for the murder of JM Kariuki among other horrors. Subsequently, like the royalists with the late Oliver Cromwell, republicans could put the remains of Jomo on trial and, on guilt, cremate the bones with much cheer. JM's body, or Dedan Kimathi's can then be relocated to that Mausoleum currently occupied by Jomo.
But that is another story. Today, a serious life-style audit is a scary prospect. No way!
SHOCK AS RUTO'S POINTMAN MOHAMMED ALI RELEASES NAMES OF CARTELS BEHIND SCANDALS, for starters
Feeling the heat, Aden Duale, Majority Mpig leader and rumoured sugar dealer (which he denies vehemently), challenged nearly about everybody on the saga of the copper-mercury sugar, and more.
Big Names, he threatened. In tears, truly crocodile if the phrase ever had meaning, Aden Duale asked how come he knew but the DCI Kinoti did not, that sugar was imported into Kenya in the dirty hollows of ships --like we do sand on lorries, or coal in barges!
Who is protecting this importer! Using all these front companies! (he meant Rai, which is code for Mama Ngina! It was actually a knife at Uhuru's throat! Make a partisan move on Ruto and watch me slit your throat, it meant. And he rounded it like below)
'If we agree to clean Kenya, let us clean Kenya completely!' Aden Duale.
All this Aden Duale data he had in his office, but hid it from the public ---like the info about the man who finished Kenya's forests, illegal logger in chief, who now sits in the forestry board! When one chances a frog jumping in broaddaylight like this, know something is after its life. There is a python slithering toward the nest, and the birds instinctively clatter and charter in alarm. The fret a dread fate. That python is what forms of pay-back the seething public anger may adopt to politically manifest itself.
There is explosive tension within the upper echelons of politics in Nairobi. The elite is way out uneasy. Leading the race, William Ruto has yoked his horses, Money and Dare, and behind him hurtles the caravan of bandits. The race to state house. Which gimmick can the selfsame rotten elite perform to remain in social dominance even as the whole country hates their vileness, greed and debauchery.
That is the grand idea behind the Handshake. The more dim members of the political elite have not imported this yet. The maintenance, perpetuation of comprador rule in the face of massive public revulsion is the priority. This may need a major sacrifice, something more than tokenism.
Think about it: The national priorities of Kenya today, the historical promise; What are the true aspirations of the people of Kenya? Think about it, taking into account the pandemic of graft now infesting Kenya under the Jubilee, and Handcheque regime, is it national self-destruction?
Just asking.
2022; the current front-runner is the incumbent William Ruto. He carries around him the strong, overwhelming odour of graft, but the strength of that stench is more the mark of his pre-eminence amongst the pretenders. This is a competition in evil, and the most evil is the most virile, thus William is necessarily the top-dog if the bandits have to continue their bandit rule, the comprador their hold over the land.
NO, THEY CANNOT RECRUIT FROM OUTSIDE THEIR CYCLE, THEY ARE DOOMED TO POLITICAL INCEST, a comprador dynasty. It is a bandit lock on state-power, cartel chokehold over the treasury and state finances and public resources.
What I like about Ruto is his open, singular ambition. It, culturally speaking, is instructive about the evolution of the state of Kenya, away from its promise. It also hints at several tragedies, say a MacBethian drama of sorts This (open and singular ambition) contrasts inversely to my portrayal of Mwai Kibaki, what I understand as Mwai's zombified careerism, where he just rises automatically to the top like an entitled crown prince. Mwai never bothered with any active ambition, because, in his own mind I suppose, a conviction megalomaniac, he was destined to occupy the summit office of the land. This was his destiny no force could bar him from: Herder of the goats. I make the point to repeat this point: had Mwai Kibaki been singularly ambitious, he would have lurched on the Mboya dream and never let go. And today, we wouldn't be decades behind Malaysia, we wouldn't be lagging far behind one or other Asian tiger. We wouldn't be a corrupt Chinese mistress, taking one too many offs to serve turns as an inmate of the Western brothel (Like Ouru the other day at the G7 in Canada). Alas, Mwai never went beyond a village goatherd. So here we are, delivered to the bandits --the scum of the earth, and we, wananchi, the wretched thereof!
Well, a leadership crisis can last several generations, and the citizens of a state can stay goats, decades on end. That is when they evolve backwards to become wananchi bandia in their own country. In the jungle of history goats usually run into hyena's like William Ruto. Such cold-bloods instinctively recognise what goats are kept for: milk and fits of feats in feasts of meat.
Now, to be or not to be the hyena's meal 2022! That is the Kenyan crossroad ahead. Time for a Schisma, we turn our back on the corrupt, time to experiment with zero-tolerance. Deliberately feeding us mercury and copper via sugar in hazardous doses to their profit!? Between The Cartel and Al-Shabaab, who really is your bad guy!? Define me evil - O Kenya, that I priotise LINDA NCHI! And Ouru give the order: SHOOT TO KILL!
How does Kenya derail the caravan of bandits? That is what Culture is still working out, slowly.

FOOTNOTE ONE: SUGAR WOES AND THE SWEET BLUES OF CANE GROWERS
Legalise cannabis, I no longer can fish My boat lies dead, rocking on the Islands
Uganda helped herself to the rich fishing grounds Ye'r foreigners here now, their President declared
Legalise cannabis, O I wanna rise higher! Legalise Waragi, give me an import waiver!
Cane-growers are dead, long live the tillers of hash I would rather a pot high, than a cup of high mercury tea I would rather rwatarwata, than a shot of copper every tea time!
Legalise cannabis, growing cane is for the dead! I want to live!
But we are stuck in the old thinking of a feudal landlordship, a rotting nobility locked in a toxic handshake.
Economics of scale, the mature bourgeoisie mode, the industrial mode beyond The Bandits, is production en masse. In modernised agriculture, this distils out to a well-organised, mechanised and computerised entrepreneurship. The result of that driven successful transformation is an avalanche of produce, washing the market and depressing the price. The mass production of commodities is a RUTHLESS search for markets. Colonialism is in part MARKET DEMARCATION! --Corruption in killing LOCAL INDUSTRY,stunting local productive forces, serves to nihilise pockets of emerging, would-be competition to foreign industries. This political economy, derailing the flowering of local productive potential, is the historical mission of the comprador, The Bandits.
Anyway, less efficient modes are permanently on the defensive, the meal in a cut-throat game of world commerce.
Since we, Kenya, by design, have not developed a battery of industrialists capable of being captains of the competitive agro innovation ---(like Michael Joseph's legendary tenure at the now very milky SAFARICOM), we are essentially on the defensive on every economic front. Our minister of Finance Henry Rotich and his CBK sidekick, Patirike Njoroge, are just but Christin Lagarde, IMF annexed loyalist clerks. We are in sh!t as they say; and this sh!t is the crisis of stagnation and regression, and open dislocation. Essentially we are a peasant mode in a hyper capitalist world. We are uncompetetive, especially in long-distance running!
The dislocation I talk of, is that we boast some magical islands of glitter which, like mirages, fool the senses we are nearly arrived. But a breakdown of the --rebased or not--- statistics, and the occasional small poke by nature like the recent floods in Nairobi, reveal a medieval infrastructure for instance. How about the Health Care for those who know public health institutions? And as for life in the slums, I suppose that is the squalor of the slave quarters surrounding the glittering manor. A precarious imbalance.
But there is even deeper sh!t, culturally speaking now. Normally a problem once it rears its ugly head, is rationally tackled. Humans are strugglers, thinkers, problem solvers. Humans respond to adversity with ingenuity, common sense, and policy scientifically informed with logic. That is the NORMAL TO BEST case scenario of evolutionary man, a political animal at the top of the evolutionary food chain. But there are periods in history where Murphy's law infects the political system and power EXTENDEDLY corrupts rationalism, leading to ever deepening crisis.
SHORT-TERM GREED, THE PARASITISM OF GET RICH QUICK, THE NATIONAL SINK
The sugar industry is now a test-tube case of Murphy's law. Everything which could go wrong has gone wrong. Even the lab testing and labelling! First, a state parasitic, managerial class turned cane growers into feudal tenants, then into low-caste slaves to be exploited to the bone without a voice. Meanwhile other countries like Brazil pimped up their act, revolutionised their productive relations, and yet more others developed alternative sweeteners so competitively priced (think EU beetroot), the tasty market of sugar went sour worldwide.
But the Kenyan sugarbelt, in a comprador, parasitic lock, run by aristocratic bureaucrats swinging on the leases of state patronage and nepotism, snored on in idyllic, other worldly romanticism. Howbeit they lost the paradise, and the canegrowers the future!
Suffering a massive crisis of inefficiency, one could theoritically raise tariff barriers against imports, or construct some other protective measure (like outright bans), but all one creates in the face of unmet demand is a smugglers paradise, unless one hermits ones self like North Korea, or Albanian dungeon in them days of Enver Hoxja.
So here we are: those who, private captains of industry claiming superiority over state bureaucrats managing plants, should have revolutionised the sugar sector like Michael Joseph did the dead TELECOMS of Kenya, have turned out to be nothing but more dangerous monsters. They run a racket of importing poisonous sugar to repackage within their warehouses, for a tidy pile of profit.
Who is your daddy now? who is your captain of industry now!?
Of course they do this with political connectivity and the same state bureaucracy. That is the full cycle of corruption. ThIS is the Cartel dynamics, long ago told of by WOLE SOYINKA in ---what I call CHINEKE THE BIRD FOLKTALES--- SEASON OF ANOMY! The real sh!thole we are stuck in. A maffia state. It needs a new think to get out of ---a kind of cultural renaissance. That is when one stops digging when one is in a hole.
Kenya is obviously a tomb of doom! We need another fate!
So I am catching up on my reading on cancer, now that I know what has been in my children's tea, courtesy of Jubilee.
But it is not really Jubilee.
No, it is names we can name, arrest and charge with connivance to mass poisoning, through heavy-metallised confectionaries and cancerous sugar.
How about arrest and charge?
HHHmmmmm, the way I see mobs arrest and burn chicken thieves around the country? I bet there are other options in our minds, even if we do not speak them out, but are content to keep up appearances of constitutionalism! (This is the fad of Innocence until guilty proven in a court of law while of course we know what we know: let the investigators be corrupt, the Judges corruptible and the court itself bandia, and the system Cartelist! Up to habitually rigged elections! Then it is April Fools Day everyday in the corridors of Justice prosecuting the corrupt and hoping for a conviction! And of course that is when and WHY the mob develops it own concept of it!)
We watch this evolution of Mob Justice, slowly from the burning of chicken thieves to the burning of Jet-Set looters. Of course Rome was not burnt in a day! But it did burn, even if one of the fires was started by the emperor himself!
The rapids a-comin'!

THE CARAVAN OF BANDITS AND THE NERO SYNDROME OF POWER
'I can get away with anything, I am a god!', said Nero in a fit of a power. The Roman supremo was high on his delusions of divinity. This was his peak. And he would be the last of a dynasty.
It must be said these delusions were fostered, carefully calculated by one of the most brilliant Vizier's of the empire then, Seneca. At one point during a vicious stalemate between Parliament and State House, say the Emperor and the nobility in the senate, this Seneca who was the legal brains alerted His Excellency to a clause which, on clever reading, could pass for deification. And deities, or heaven-sanctioned sovereigns as sometimes the case may be, needed not suffer contradictions from mere men, even if of the nobility or otherwise peoples representatives! His Divinity could ride over them! Precedent shaped, after that it was a rollercoaster! The Emperor's will be done.
I see parallels of Nero's impunity with the current Divinity of Kenya's Elite. The state bureaucracy, The Big Business Community and the Political Machinery, are United in an Unholy Alliance of Invisibility, or so. 'We can get away with anything, we are gods!' their deeds declare, 'even Ahero Nyando we can situate in Toronto Canada!'
They rig elections, embezzle billions of Eurobonds and all else. They loot at will, sack the country and counties at will, and make a farce of all institutions and due processes. And now, as a proverbial icing on the cake, they import and re-brand, license and sell poisonous foodstuffs as if these were hot cakes from heaven! -'We are gods! We can feed you poison and there's nothing you can do about it. In fact you will vote for Us to keep doing it! We hold total and supreme control over your wills, people.' It is truly the boast of the gods, immortals whose wills are beyond mere mortals to curtail!
I bet good lab-tests would certify even the pharmaceuticals and cosmetics they import and distribute are death-grade. Tuta do!?
Mesays that is Nero's syndrome. Correction -as in a reality check-- is on the way. We hope for the best, that is gently gentle resolutions, but in case it gets nasty, have a plan B everybody. Sh!t tends to happen. Even to looters in their paradise.

WHAT WOULD RUTO DO WITH THE PRESIDENCY OF KENYA?
1. Let us for a moment work from the assumption, the popular narrative is correct, William Ruto's ubridled ambition and sole purpose now, is to be the PORK! That may sound like pig-meat for the wild dogs, but trust me, I have something more awesome in mind. I have in mind the presidency of the ROK, republic of Kenya. Yes, Kenya the rock economy in the neighbourhood. From this assumption, I ask this question seldom asked: what for? What will Sir William do with the Presidency of Kenya?
Of course there is just the plain joy, catharsis of achievement, of having accomplished an extraordinary feat under tall odds. Bill Clinton once hinted as much when he talked of being POTUS! For some of course the extraordinary feat can be faultlessly solving a SUDOKU puzzle, crossword puzzle, or jig-saw puzzle at a sitting, or, for fellas like me, the heroism is to be found in weekly, repetitive explosive simultaneous orgasm. I don't know about you pals of either sex, but yours truly is deeply addicted to this experience. Keeps me high hours on end! (it is the secret to the optimism in my life, despite some blood-curdlingly nasty experiences deep in the heart of darkness! I swear Africa can be so dark at times one finds oneself finding no sense in hope!
For others of course the overriding ambition can be to win the Nobel Price in one or other academic discipline. But the point is, ambition and purpose in life is as varied as genes of mankind. And a successful society is where the ambitions of the citizens in all their variations are adequately realised. This is quite a feat. In deed it is the political nightmare of all civilisations. Many civilisations are and have been based on slavery and social inequality. That is an angry millions of ambitions thwarted, and therefore, ever the festering rebellion below the surface. Rebellion, and sometimes revolution.
Well, taking that point then, Ruto's ambition is not unique, --nay, it is normal, only that power is a social thing, and STATE POWER, organised violence as it were, is historically a ruthlessly contested organ. It is a thing which actively and daily shapes the destiny of many beings, arbitrates the distribution of the social surplus, confines others to a life of toil and want, like it (a mere social construct) were the nearest thing to divinity or natural law.
Then of course there is the actual 'divine autonomy' which comes with office of the president of any nation or state. Usually under the euphemism 'security'! It is the investment (of that auspice) with the discretionary power over life, and without much reckoning. Some deep folks will know the dangerous kicks of the KILL COMMAND.
The Kill Command is when some office is invested with the power to ...
how should I put it
... authorise extra-judicials? kill anyhow!? --Think, for simplicity's sake, of a frontline commander at war; collateral damages; or Barrack Obama authorising a drone-hit kill and be damned the innocents around; or the boss of the interior ministry, say John Michuki, giving the KweQwe commander his Mungiki KILL-QUOTA for the week! Or Duterte of the Philippines shrugging over the corpses of drug dealers huddled in some ditch outside Manila. Or Donald He-Man Trump who ordered the mother of all bombs dropped over Afghan ranges, not bothering about the peasant families gathering below for multiple wedding feasts!
The Kill Command is dangerous, it can be addictive. Binyamin Netenyahu of Israel, I suspect, is a kill-command addict. It is an itch he has to feed every so often. His use of the concepts terror and terrorist no longer seem to run through conscious thought nor deliberation. There is distinctly a pathology there. ---Palestinian nationalist aspirations is not a terrorist problem!
But
To answer the question what Ruto will do with the presidency, we have data to scrutinise. We can analyse what Moi, Kenyatta and Kibaki did with it (the helm of state power). And now that Ruto himself has been deputy and co-president, we have predictive data, or conclusive records. We have a measure of him, top bandit.
Say, he is an old dog who wont be surprising us with new tricks, freshly learnt or still hidden beneath his breast! He is a known circus dog, doomed to Pavlovian repetitiveness in behaviourals. He will feed, and feed to death, like those fishlets in an aquarium!
On the policy side, we can read the Jubilee manifesto. --But, O Kenya, all these manifestos are the same the world over. They are what governments should do, both stupid and clever ones: --power to every house, hot and cold clean water to every household; one child one computer from primary school class one; three square meals a day plus pudding and a shot of alcohol for adults; German-grade highways, 7000km in Kenya in four years; youth unemployment rate no higher than 15%; territorial integrity and public safety safeguard; functional and affordable health service
. stable and good marriages for children to grow up in!
United Nations Bodies like WHO, UNCTAD have quite elaborate lists on the bare essentials of good governance. Governments should even guarantee a bare minimum of happiness for all citizens!
common sense stuff really. --It is the economy stupid enzo.
So, the open record suggests Ruto's presidency will be more of the same: Hustler Singh Arap Corruption. Banditry arap Banditry. A Nicolas Biwott and Daniel Moi tandem incarnate. There is, in essence, therefore no break with the KANU past. In fact, given the man is a BORN-AGAIN Christian, obviously a Machiavellian, chameleon pitch, i warrant a pervasive air of backward reli-conservatism is likely to enshroud His State House; an Ethereal Missionaric Zeal to cover for insatiable greed, yeah, to cover up for ongoing total or systematic economic rot.
The immoral way, recent Maize and fertilizer scandal, DP Ruto's Kalenjin clique have made a meal of their own Kalenjin maize farmers! That is deep rot in the soul, callous. Amuse yourself wondering whether it is deeper soul-rot than that of Kenyatta's kin who, with their business partners, have wiped out the sugar-belt even as they poison the whole population in the evil (but for themselves lucrative) venture.
I will be back.

CULTURALLY SPEAKING ON CORRUPTIONI like to pay attention to culture. --Chineke the Bird. Pun the 'bird' and you have poets like Wole Soyinka. Some are sensitive minds whose thoughts colour certain bends, doused in our African social reality. That reality now is harsh and bitter for her youth. We catch a glimpse of this in Europe-bound ships marooned in the Mediterranean sea, the ripples of which are threatening to put an end to the illustrious career of Angela Merkel. In a backlash of a white nationalism anxious at a 'flood of ( Mohammedan) brown and ( African) dark immigrants', the Christian ruling party of Bavaria and Merkel's one leg, CSU, has declared these 'swarms of insects' should, instead of invading other peoples well-tended fields and ready-made manna's, stay in their countries and re-build them like Germany did post-war ruin!Yep, what can Angela do but begin compose a resignation later slowly!? The WHITE IDENTITY MOVEMENT is claiming her scalp already! And not a wourd about this as the AU meets in Mauritania! Africa-wide, continent-wide, states in wretched underperformance bubble up and down outside civilisation. They are either at the mercy of foreign pirates (like DRC Congo), or under the captaincy of a bandit ruling class. Such a bandit ruling class includes the likes of our own, Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya. Kenyatta's regime has now reached the debauchery of feeding poison to the population, for a profit. ----That sugar-coated' mass poisoning linked even to the President's kin is an example of what I call 'going outside civilisation'. Here is a poet on you sort: PAN AFRICANISM Uphill she limps, broken limbed Africa Upward the steep path of history she gazes
Jiggers infest her feet, like spots a leopard Every head of her states is a mother jigger Presiding a cabinet of yet more eager jiggers
Help! Her every bone-grinding step wails through depths.Her children sinking unheard into the Mediterranean Deeps! In the top 20 of Most corrupt African countries, Kenya is just outside the top 10 --which includes the likes of Somalia (KDF territory!), South and North Sudan, Libya, Eritrea, Zimbabue, DRC, Angola, Burundi! At number 14 (2018 February rankings), Kenya is just a little less corrupt than the Republic of Congo, Chad and the Central African republic. And we are just slightly more corrupt than Uganda, Nigeria, Cameroun, Madagascar. This Africa is the cloacal end of government business. A tomb of doom for her youth and future futures. Straight-away this reveals an awesome fact and prospect: Ruthlessly dealing with corruption in African states, and redeploying that wealth to the benefit of her peoples --SENSIBLE ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY---- even before enhancing economic performance otherwise, will jump start Africa to places.Just re-arranging existent fiancial priorities where, currently, the political and business elite is nothing but a thieving, parasitic racket, would UNLOCK stupendous funds to be channelled to the peoples priorities. That would simple fire a GREAT LEAP FORWARD. The most sensible and cheap ---as opposed to debt bondage which is the Henry Rotich blueprint--- political priority in Kenya, therefore, is THE RUTHLESS LIQUIDATION of Corruption Incorporated. The Question is whether it can be done without a massive social upheaval, as in revolution. (As an aside dish to the major course, notice also the parochial Kalenjin upper class blackmail: No Ruto, no Gikuyu alive in the rift valley, come 2022!)Kenyans have been thinking of course, discussing and taking shots at the options on the table. 1. During the presidential debate by the lesser candidates ---these were the academics, the national anecdote was telling: Wanakenya wanatafuta mbuzi, na wenye wameweka mchungaji ni fisi. Sasa, tutapata mbuzi ama hatuta pata!? Basi, jibu la swala huu, wazi tunakijua rohoni ndani! Ekuru Aukot, Michael Wainaina, Japheth Kamuyu, (Ole Kiyapi???). But it would be Eliud Muthiora Kariara, Japheth Kavinga Kaluyu's running mate, who would in his one-hour of grandstand, capture the nation's future in a solo performance. The likes of William Ruto, dinosaurs at the top of the food-chain but essentially already reached their evolutionary dead-end, ridiculed and mocked the debates: they didn't even know they were scheduled. As for Uhuru Kenyatta, he had better things to do --though he watched from A-Z! We all watched. Since time immemorial, humans have a weakness for hints on what the future holds! Prophesy is big business. Thinking of Mohammed and Jesus, Melkizedek Ondetto and David Owuor. What does a corruption-free Kenya look like in 2022? --CAVEAT: Transparency International hastens to a disclaimer that no human land has (and can achieve) a perfect rank: 0% corrupt. TI 100. Perfection is Denmark, New Zealand (91), Finland, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Singapore, The Netherlands, Luxembourg and 10: Canada (81)! There are enough Canadians around (Miguna Miguna, Onyango Oloo, Wily Mutunga, KathureKebaara) to warm us with stories of how sleazy Canada really is, and why Donald Trump in a recent G-8 fit, despised young Justin Tradeuau for slimy-sheet! NB: A keen one will notice, most of these officially least-corrupt countries have a very relaxed attitude toward party-drugs. I am talking opium and its synthetic derivatives. But in corrupt Africa, reefing a shot of pot after an endless day of uprooting the hyacinth in KenduBay or pushing the mkokoteni in Nairobi, is deemed a harsher crime than importing leaded or copperised or mercurised (or whatevered) sugar! David Maraga aka CJ! Show me thought, Omera! Answer this man, O Nestor! I am just saying UPSIDE DOWN PRIORITIES explain why hordes of young Africans dare the Sahara, dare the rape camps of Libya, dare the Mediterranean with canoes, to seek a better future elsewhere. That rejection of the future they see for themselves in Africa, -futurelessness, entombed in doom, rather die attempting escape than rot here, is the political issue number one of Africa. And of our Kenya today. And, as I said, our culture is naturally toying us with options for the future: 1. The shoe-in President and entitled William Ruto. A hungry corrupt oligarch 2. Prince Gideon Arap Moi. A weak-minded inheritor to a fabulous, stolen fortune. 3. KAPUTIN (Ouru Kenyatta PM, Raila Prezzo). Antic aristocrats now impotent. 4. OUT OF THE BOX 4a: Martin Ngatia. The Jacobin template. An execution Bonanza, zero tolerance to corruption. 4b. Miguna Miguna: idealist constitutionalist. Stickler to rule of law to a fault! NB: Pun: The people versus Larry Flynt, accused as pornographer, of being a 'corrupter of public morals'. --If the super-modern 2010 constitution wont protect a free-speecher like Miguna Miguna, why should it protect scumbag Mpigs from arrest on Friday! Or, if as we have seen in the Miguna Miguna case, some people are above Court Orders, why does David Maraga think Martin Ngatia needs the courts before committing to death, the 2000 people whose names are with the DGI for masterminding and executing 10 megascams including the two NYS'? 2022 is a long way still, and it appears to me there enough forces wrestling with the Kenyan crisis of capitalist underdevelopment, such that a reasonable compromise must emerge on how ruthless the war on corruption must go. I suggest we ran with it while we still can. Let us investigate competently, arrest and prosecute and jail the worst 1000 --included the poison-sugar sellers, rather than do little to nothing, perpetuate the status quo, only to wake up to face a nation which has lost her temper. 3000 executions at Uhuru Park, live. NB: Societies are never quick to loose their tempers. We saw how that Desmond Tutu Commission, Truth and the sole truth in exchange for amnesty, was a public catharsis for post-apartheid South Africa. It removed the poison of rage from the air, a poison of rage which, had the mild Nelson Mandela been no Nestor, could have seen blacks demanding their pound of white flesh, in operation revenge. NB: I have seen on Twitter NRMke General Miguna offered FORGIVENESS TERMS to William Ruto! --From a reli-cultural perspective this is fascinating. Cofession and repentance. From real politik, it is interesting, parleys are the stuff of stalemates at the battlefront. From plain politics, premature. There is no knife held to Ruto's threat. So it is an offer he must be happy to refuse! But let me listen to the General and come back later. Meanwhile as they say in Kinchasa, everybody has a plan B. 1. Kabila stays. 2. Kabila goes! 2b. Kabila dies! And then that Congolese guitar riff which is the sensation in many a dance hall concludes: even the head of Kabilla's praetorian guard has his plan B! Just in case (Mbongo in a forein M-banga!?)

WHY I HAVE TO REVISIT ALFRED MUTUA, MACHAKOS GOVERNORThe Bad, The Evil and The Ugly. Ngatia and his KRA is bad, Uhuruto's Jubilee and Raila's NASA is evil, NRMke Miguna and co are The Ugly. The good ones are not yet born! So you, the living, just have to bear with your bad, evil and ugly self. Looking at history, there is enough social and human experience to suffer the lot with ease, biding time. But why do I have to revisit Alfred Mutua? the Kenyan Dr. Goebbels of old who dismissed the Kroll report for utter nonsense and absurdity? Essentially because he is a better, keener reader (than the flower girl Peter Kenneth for instance) of the forces which can further buoy his career. And seems of natural wit to be fastidious about it. He instinctively sensed sycophancy to the renegade Mwai Kibaki regime would give him enough limelight to showcase himself in the next career move, come devolution. And he excelled, even at the realms of absurdity! ---On the Kroll report: 'Just because some white boys have written an audit report does not in our eyes imbue it with the divinity the likes of John Githong'o appear to give it. It remains baseless, immaterial and nonsensical!' He has since become a star governor of Machakos and manoeuvred himself past Kalonzo Musyoka in Ukambani turf wars. It speaks volumes for the calibre of other governors, that Mr. Tarram Road is the highest profile of them all! But then, nature abhors a vacuum, any vacuum. But first Miguna and RutoAct One Act Two: COMMIT CLASS SUICIDE!?04:49 -Take it or leave it, but these are the pre-conditions! -O Prodigal Son! To bathe in the warm birth of the future, atone for your past sins! The General in fit of magnanimous fantasy offers Ruto a way forward. He thinks Ruto has reached a cul-de-sac! His only way further is class suicide! (Me I think there is a General Al-Sisi Egyptian option: Yap. Winning 98% of the popular vote from a 20% TURN-OUT and insisting on DEMOCRATIC LEGITIMACY, so 20 thousands disappeared and 100 thousand in precautionary detention. There is a reactionary, authoritarian upsurge around the world, and, apart from Donald Trump upstaging Obama's clone, HRC, there are even closer, successful banana republics, thriving in failure. Think of Uganda. --Where is the guarantee Kenya is immune to that primitive dynamic!? (only conscious action) 08:10+ 'Democracy is the will of the people. We are not fools. Maraga we know your game. Maraga has had his day, ours is coming. -BTW that is not a threat! A decision was made by some 3-4 people to overturn the will of the people! We may not be learned, but we are not stupid!'Don't I love the sinister undertone of a co-president's utter derision at the Chief Justice of the land. -I thought of Egyptian Al-Sisi because there is a translation of a segment of a coup speech in which he explains the permanent incapacitation of Mohamed Morsi at a place currently undisclosed. In the sentence, the General has to juggle some sensitive phrases. On One one hand, reality by spontaneous turn-out thundered the MB Morsi was president by the supreme will of the great Egyptian people, as expressed in one of the most free and fair elections since modern Egypt was launched. Negating this reality, a treachery in itslef, and by men who only yesterday were Mubarak loyalists ready to clear Tahrir Square at the cost of a bloodbath, required some deep, deep thought. The thought failed. Al-Sisi had to resort to deep state lies. His fellow countrymen didn't believe his tale -- that Morsi had betrayed his mandate and lost the will of the great Egyptian people, so the 'orchestrated' demonstrations condemned the president elect to eternal hell at the hands of the great --no match for Israeli DF--- Egyptian army! Neither could Al-Sisi not ram through the coup. There was no way back. A terror regime it became, and still is. But there are good figures. 98% win of elections. Just like his old boss Mubarak! Umm, -Turn out!? That is a state secret! But there are enough good statisticians outside, and excellent methods of estimation. The state secret is therefore just to arrest and jail more journalists who dare publish the deligitimating figure. It is important to study comparative histories. At any critical juncture in its evolution, the chance national backwardness achieving ascendancy is statistically higher than adopting the tenets of enlightenment. Class suicide would be a revolutionary jump in consciousness for William Ruto. A statistical impossibility! But we have debated the issue before with respect to his boss or --now that the dual presidential act is nolonger showing at a theatre near you---- former co-president. --This concept we debated here on Jukwaa with Onyango Oloo some times back. -I will footnote it at large later. William Ruto is currently the most fearsome and formidable COMPRADOR CHIEFTAIN. He is the best of his lot. The problem is Kenya signals in deed, she has recognised the writing on the wall, that the comprador or bandit rule is a DEAD-END. Less than a year after a hugely disturbed presidential election, the land is again in the throes of the next! Permanent campaign mode to distract from the incompetence and inability to actually govern, not to mention conduct an undisputed presidential tally. The all-important number! The nation needs fundamental reforms of whose hints can be found buried at the national archives. They are well known though: Ndung'u report, TJRC, toward a rig-free electoral cycle, economic and educational reforms to buttress modernisation -the 'guilding' of degrees or certificates and industrial standards. (ie so that a bachelor's grade means a bachelor's competence regardless of which college one went to!). Well, Arap Mashamba is no man for the land reform! The Hustler Singh is not the man for a meaningful lifestyle audit! This creates a fascinating opportunity for an opportunist; one not scary enough to provoke the establishment to further stupidities like rigging which would surely collapse the land, and yet a charlatan electrifying enough to bedazzle Wanjiku with minimum reforms necessary to prevent a social catastrophe! And that is where the talented Alfred Mutua comes in as a compromise candidate, culturally speaking. He seems to instinctively sense it. But he will need a quality one can never learn, and which I doubt he has ever been forced to repetitively rely on: courage. If you are going to take the battle to the likes of William Ruto and Raila Odinga, to snatch the presidency from their jaws, I think you need more courage than money. This is the problem with culture. In a crisis, balls will be required, even from women --thinking of Winnie Mandela, Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher, Mkabayi KaJama!Dr. Goebbels Mutua has the sales pitch of his life to make! Go for it Alfred! Show us balls too. Ngatia and Miguna are granite, Ruto and Raila, granite too. And it is no iron balls no mating. This is the game of power, iron and blood. FOOTNOTE class suicide debate Uhuru KenyattaJakaswanga:Thanks for nourishing my mind with those morsels of cerebral wisdom, peppered with your customary witticisms and withering skewerings. Since I feature somewhat in your narrative above, let me intervene thus:Philosophically, I am trained in the dialectical and materialist school. That often seeps into my style of writing. If you take another reading of my digital essay, you may observe that part of the word play, a bit of my postulations, entreaties and proposals are dialectically conditional. What do I mean? Just one example: When I invite Uhuru Muigai to declare independence from Kenyatta, I am, in effect, asking the leopard to change its spots.
Is it possible? Let us talk about the cougar or the black panther. Is a black panther a leopard with a different design or a completely different feline?This is what Wikipedia tells us: So a panther IS a leopard, believe it or not!Let us view the two cats: Here is your panther: And here is your leopard: On a more serious note, when I am telling Uhuru to rebrand himself, I am also inspired by this famous exhortation from someone I consider to be Africa's foremost revolutionary ideologue, Amilcar Cabral Here is an excerpt from a monograph by Antero Benedito Da Silva, a scholar who studied Cabral's ideas, including his concept of "class suicide":
In 1959, Amilcar Cabral abandoned his job as an agronomist in Lisbon and returned to Guinea Bissau to fight for independence of his country, a fight which he saw as an act of culture. The first challenge and premise which he put forward was that the peasantry was not a revolutionary force in Guinea. In saying this, he differentiated between physical and political force, as the peasantry was actually a great force in Guinea. They were almost the whole population and produced the nation‘s wealth. However, because there was no history of peasants‘ revolts, it was difficult to build support among the peasantry for the idea of national liberation (Chabal 2003.p.175).
Cabral‘s second premise was that some elements of the petite bourgeoisie were revolutionary. By petite bourgeoisie, he meant people working in the colonial state apparatus, the people Abilio Araujo called ‘the colonial elites’, that is, people who benefited from colonialism but were never fully integrated into the colonial system. According to Cabral, these people were the colonial culture and the colonized culture, with no clear interests in carrying out a revolution. (Chilcote 1999.p.174-6). Acknowledging this weakness, Cabral wrote:
"But however high the degree of revolutionary consciousness of the sector of the petite bourgeoisie called to fulfill its historical function, it can not free itself from one objective : the petite bourgeoisie, as a service class (that is to say a class not directly involved in the process of production), does not possess the economic base to guarantee the taking over of power. In fact, history has shown that whatever the role—sometimes important—played by the individuals coming from the petite bourgeoisie in the process of a revolution, this class has possessed political control. And it could never possesses it, since political control (the state) is based on the economic capacity of ruling class, and in the conditions of colonial and neocolonial society this capacity is retained by two entities: imperialist capital and the native working class" (Chabal 2003:176).
The petite bourgeoisie, according to Cabral, was a new class created by foreign domination and indispensable to the operation of colonial exploitation. But the petite bourgeoisie could never integrate itself into the foreign minority in Guinea and remained prisoner of the cultural and social contradictions imposed on it by the colonial reality, which defines it as a marginal or marginalized class. But it is on them, the petite bourgeoisie, which the PAIGC revolution should rely (Chilcote 1999:80). Cabral delivered another speech in Havana in 1966, stating that:
"..the alternative -to betray the revolution or to commit suicide as a class -constitutes the dilemma of the petite bourgeoise in the general framework of the national liberation struggle…" (cited Chabal 2003:179).
To carry out their historical function for national liberation, the petite bourgeoise needed to undergo a process of déclassé or class suicide, in order to organize and build alliances with the farmers to fight against colonialism and imperialism (Chilcote 1999:80). Here is a link to the full article by Antero Benedito Da Silva: tlstudies.org/pdfs/chp_45.pdfJakaswanga, what I am essentially asking Uhuru to do is to commit comprador class hara kiri. Can he do it? Is that a rhetorical question? Not necessarily. It has been done before. But for it be done in the Kenya of 2013, it will mean that Uhuru has to be literally Born Again.But NOT in the Christian way of course. It has to be a REVOLUTIONARY rebirth. Don't you think I am being RIDICULOUS? Only to the extent that one DOES NOT take the The Harmonised-Jubilee Coalition Manifesto seriously. My simple argument is that for Uhuru Kenyatta to lead the implementation of the Jubilee Manifesto, he must commit comprador class suicide, hence my call for him to Declare Independence from Kenyatta to give birth to Uhuru. Are you following my weird, convoluted train of thought my brother? We all know that Fidel Castro is the greatest living revolutionary from the Americas. How many people know that he had a father like Uhuru's father? Now Fidel's dad was NOT the President. But Angel Castro was a very large land owner, though of very humble peasant origins: This is what Fidel Castro did when he took over power in Cuba in 1959, according to Wikipedia: Appointing himself president of the National Institute of Agrarian Reform (Instituto Nacional de Reforma Agraria - INRA), on 17 May 1959, Castro signed into law the First Agrarian Reform, limiting landholdings to 993 acres (4.02 km2) per owner and forbidding further foreign land-ownership. Large land-holdings were broken up and redistributed; an estimated 200,000 peasants received title deeds. To Castro, this was an important step, breaking the control of the landowning class over Cuba’s agriculture; popular among the working class, it alienated many middle-class supporters. Castro appointed himself president of the National Tourist Industry, introducing unsuccessful measures to encourage African-American tourists to visit, advertising it as a tropical paradise free of racial discrimination. Changes to state wages were implemented; judges and politicians had their pay reduced while low-level civil servants saw theirs raised. In March 1959, Castro ordered rents for those who paid less than $100 a month halved, with measures implemented to increase the Cuban people’s purchasing powers; productivity decreased and the country’s financial reserves were drained within two years.Since you, Jakasawanga, know that Onyango Oloo KNOWS that Uhuru Muigai is no Castro, you can then do a third or fourth reading of my digital essay cutting the fourth Kenyan President some slack and see if there are any nuances, any additional layers to my entreaties to Uhuru to rebrand.

WHY I HAVE TO REVISIT ALFRED MUTUA, MACHAKOS GOVERNORThe Bad, The Evil and The Ugly. Ngatia and his KRA is bad, Uhuruto's Jubilee and Raila's NASA is evil, NRMke Miguna and co are The Ugly. The good ones are not yet born! So you, the living, just have to bear with your bad, evil and ugly self. Looking at history, there is enough social and human experience to suffer the lot with ease, biding time. But why do I have to revisit Alfred Mutua? the Kenyan Dr. Goebbels of old who dismissed the Kroll report for utter nonsense and absurdity? here is another narrative of your country. Ponder the signs of the times? ==hakuna matata!?? Martin Ngatia is not onto PR-talk!

THE CARAVAN OF BANDITS, BUMPS AHEADPresident Uhuru Kenyatta (right) and Swiss counterpart Alain Berset (left) witness the signing of a framework agreement for return of stolen assets stashed in Switzerland to Kenya by the Swiss Ambassador to Kenya Ralf Henker and Attorney General Paul Kihara on June 9, 2018.One day my fisherman dad caught a scared look on my face. He was at the Mgowa or steering wheel. A big wave was coming. He winked cockily at me. He then performed a manoeuvre which I would later learn to refer to as a surfer's trick. 'Read the wave, boy, pick an angle and ride!' 'Hai Hai dad Sir!' I mumbled. 'Any wave is like a female butt rolling. You read your ride in it or you don't, you got that, boy!? 'Hai Hai dad Sir, I got that!'Then he would motion me to take over the Mgowa, and he would roll a joint and start whiffing pot. 'Lets make port, boy, and ride the waves, surf easy as she goes!' Yee, my pot-smoking fishermad dad, we got along fine, too fine for the Christians of our fishing village. They thought he was a corrupting infuence. But in afterthought I think he did best with me. A ruthless training in reading, waves! Only of the pot I became an abstainer. When my dad demanded to know why, I said: I prefer to eat puszy! THE NERVOUS OLIGARCHS OF KENYALets say Uhuru Kenyatta's presidency is gone. He is just a drowning lame duck thrashing aimlessly about. What remains is the possibility of a Ruto residue as a final accomplishment of the economically ill-fated, retrogressive Uhuruto pact. That leaves William Ruto in the eye of the storm. That is the storm kicked up by saturation of the bureaucracy with corruption. This saturation has precipitated a backlash, be it that backlash is, currently, still more talk than action, more emotional heat than swordsmanship. But the weather be read, fact is the obviousness of a national anti-corruption seethe, hissing with dark intent. Lets say Ruto wants to be president still. That he has the burning ambition to, and therefore is all out to fight for it. Let us even say in his mind this is his destiny. PORK! So Let us forget the gone man, Uhuru, and concentrate on the coming man, William Ruto. The Cambridge dictionary says a TRAGEDY is a play dealing with tragic events and having an unhappy ending, especially one concerning the downfall of the main character. But what is a NATIONAL tragedy? Looking back, every historian will tell. Looking ahead, only Teiresias of Thebes will foretell. But reality throws enough hints to read through tea-leaves, for the contemplative. Journalists will be like mindless parrots, repeating facts, importing no meaning, or mouthing nonsense, shamelessly innocent. Let us say we, of the Kenyan state, are in an extended crisis. It is chiefly manifesting itself as institutionalised, bureaucratic corruption --the loot of public resources with impunity; and political moral collapse. This latter involves the decay of leading politicians and the rot of formal institutions. The result is mass impoverishment and delinquent service delivery, economic doom and neo-slavery like the Chinese get away with at the SGR. There, grown up women and men lie down to be caned corporally by some Chinese akida. One can be sure behind the scenes there is sexual abuse a-plenty. But there is a high-power statistical attempt to cover up this horrid reality with positive aggregate figures. A mythology. The economy is running riot at 7-6% growth per annum; and the size of the Kenyan economy is bigger than the combined output of all East and Central countries combined. Halleluya, Jubilee Akhbar! That is a genial achievement that is. Goes the colonial narrative. (We have brought civilisation and Christianity to Africa, these so-called liberation movements are party-poopers, or, as the Mau Mau was explained, a manifestation of an atavistic African characteristic.)NB: Sorry folks, that colonial narrative above is how I always interpret the IMF/WB blurb written for the poster boys Henry Rotich and Patrick Njoroge to mouth at Wanjiku. Investment climate is good, debt portfolio is manageable, corruption exists here no more than it exists anywhere else, there is macro-economic stability and, since the rebase, we are a middle income economy. Paradise here we come! And then when I Mpesa ksh.100 to my turn-boys for a quick shot of illegal Waragi, do Rotich and Njoroge pounce. They are like a knife-wielding duo of scum criminals, they hold up the transaction for their 12% cut, and more they plan! (in addition to the shark-rate interest loans they will re-instate, the proposed tax rate of ksh. 500,000 transfers effectively would be another killer blow at SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED businesses) They talk the language of the Harvard school of economics and then, primitive squeezers they prove to be, they tax road-side mandazi sellers half a mandazi per sale! And maize-roasters half a cob per sale!Why do you think there was a revolt called the Hut-tax rebellion in them colonial days? Yet the hut-tax could be paid in labour, IE there was such labour-demand, say employment opportunity even if slavery, that effectively an instrument had to be devised to manufacture a labour force. Or Forced labour. Today, the labour reserve is more than the economy can handle. We talk of youth unemployment as a problem, in fact, a critical danger to stability. But here are Njoroge and Rotich (and the band of macro-economist doctorates they preside over), taxing maize cobs to the grain, mandazis to a drop of oil, and, yeah, there is no transaction they saw they didn't hold up to chop off a choice cut! --Bandits! And how much to they loose to corruption!? 30% GDP!? Talk about charges of ECONOMIC CRIMES! (Ben Chumo and KPLC Tarus!). I would easily have Njoroge and Rotich arrested and charged with the same! and more, conspiracy to bankrupt the nation. I have been round and about enough, seen the globe and other men at work, for me to know Njoroge and Rotich and their racket are a sh!t pile. They are a waste of public money and time. They are a bandit act, in a corruption duet. Garbage. If Nairobi city needs to be cleaned up of filth, the national treasury and central banking apparatus needs a clean job even more. (You hear of these multi billion transactions paid in one day by the government, then the same day they have disappeared around local banks, IE laundered! And Patrick Njoroge, the Big Money sheriff or traffic cop, neither heard nor saw nor thought a thought!? Who believes such a yarn!? The same thing happened in NYS I. -Pick-ups and Canters packed under the CBK, Josephine Kabura loading bales of cash! Patrick Njoroge! Africa's hottest central banker! And that Africa is rising! I said, and repeat, garbage! (MORE AT FOOTNOTE.) Now, studying money flows, illicit or otherwise, is a good indicator of national health. Historically, good countries tend to keep clean accounts, bad countries are your double to no book-keepers. The chronicles of one, Eduard Ouko, tells us the tale of where to rank ourselves. We are at institutional rot, political crisis, and debilitating sack of the treasury and national resources. There is a social crisis, with the depravity of the business class showing itself in such episodes as the importation and sale of poisonous foodstuffs like Sugar. But Manufacturers have not been holy neither. There is unfit oil in the market, and a latest report reveal millers selling substandard flour, posho and ngano, not to mention salt-processors who never heard of the IODINE reinforcement rule for table salt! At every instant then, at every transaction, the Kenyan is defrauded. And poisoned at the drug store. That is the tale of the banditry running amok within the land. It is a tale of evil. Such banditry beggars an arrest. Such evil is a call for purification. That brings us to this key question. What is William The Hustler's ability to deal with this crisis?He is the front runner in the succession. What does he bring to the table of solutions? With Ruto in power, what is the tool-kit in operation to fix the jinx? As co-president until the Handshake happened, Ruto has had opportunity to stamp his authority on the solutions desk, but here we are now with the corpse of the Uhuruto presidency, and it is a legacy of uselessness which has sunk the nation into the abyss of decomposition. What remains, mesees, is a rudimentary desperate Kenyatta, clutching to the coattails of the remains of the Odinga, if the once Agwambo could, perhaps, save him from the stalking monster, The Hustler Singh. The Singh has all but swallowed up the legacy of the son of Jomo. NEXT: Giving the devil his dues. But first, FOOTNOTES THE BANDITS KNOW THEY MUST MAKE AMENDS It would appear Arap Moi and Nicolas Biwott's ill-gotten fortunes are still off limits. Otherwise the likes of Gideon Moi would be pensive, very apprehensive.
THE RUARAKA LAND SWINDLE AND THE TEN ACCOMPLICES IN THE CABINET
I hear there is something the British once dubbed the Knight of the Long Knives! Here is a hint [/quote] O, son of Jomo! the tremors you suffer Does your tasked heart shiver in indecision And thy full hands tremble in cowardice? Or is it the stupor induced of stiff beverage Brewed from poisonous sugar your brother imported?NB: A stash of the Ruaraka Swindle is in Mauritius. DPP Noordin Haji has written to the CENTRAL BANK of Mauritius to help trace it and return it to the sleeping dog of a Nairobi bank led by Dr. Patrick Njoroge. But there is a catch. From the Mauritius side, offshores mindful of their stellar reputation you know, they do also comment and rate central bankers, from Africa especially. These, whether they are from Mozambique, Malawi, Angola, South Africa (Zupta), Kenya or Rwanda, have a habit of facilitating transactions which an offshore banking heaven considers a very phat business relationship. The Mauritians didn't come shopping for business. Like the Swiss, the market finds them, they don't go soliciting! What do you do with a cabinet of bandits? I have this funny feeling everyone in Kenya knows the answer! WHAT IS TO BE DONE! I saw a photo of the clean Swiss man Alain Berset kissing Cicily Kariuki, our very rotten lady of the Health sector ---Lillian Mbogo Omollo is her fall girl in the NYS messes!-- and thought, hmmm, business as usual!?

GIVING THE DEVIL HIS DUES, THE COUNTRY DESERVES THE BEST
And that is darker than you think on the rebound!
The best of the lot of bandits forming a layer of filth at the top of Kenya is of course the Hustler Singh, William Kipchirchir. He is the King Bandit. If a bandit it must be, then Ruto it must be. It is time for the best everywhere, including the presidency. If a thief it must be for president, then William it will be.
But what can William Ruto do that the nation needs? The needs, aspirations of a state like Kenya are ABC which any moron can absent mindedly tick off his fingers. In one word, industrialisation! So, does a Ruto rule beget a future for the land? Does Ruto's ascension represent a fortifying of steps in securing the future? Or is he too, a gone thing from a different era return like a mummy, and he heralds nothing but a nightmarish future? Is his busy body, and busy buddies everywhere, just the rigor-mortis of a corpse, the last kicks of a dying horse, the frantic wings of a a trapped sugarfly drowning in the honey-jar?
In the tragedy of self-defeatism as is the historical and national indulgence of many an elite of many a country --which explains why most history is so bloody, Ruto's rule will simply be the peak of the post-colonial debauchery in Kenya. If Daniel KANU Arap Moi was a dark age, his YK'92 students now ripened are something else.
An ethnic profile of --since the Uhuruto ratio of sharing public spoils was 50/50 and Ruto is Kalenjin in core--- of the axis of looters orbiting William Ruto, reveals a horror. They are a virulent mutant of the Moi kleptocratic strand. These are the Chumo's and Tarus's of the KPLC, the men of the fertiliser boards, the maize importers who fleeze and ruin the own Kalenjin grassroots, the NCPB 'grain rotters' and more of the same. -details galore in the public domain from the local dailies.
This rabid strain of vacumised looting colonised the Jubilee administration from the start. And soon, the TNA wing too went berserk. Jubilee rule became a feeding frenzy in a race to the bottom. But state power could only be maintained by rigging elections. And that, a trick of fate, needed a key murder. MUSANDO.
It has not yet been understood. But the murder of Chris Musando, the particularly grisly conduct of it, including the mutilation of the collateral damage Carolynn Mbungu, partly explains the unease which underlied the delegitimating, successful boycott of the second presidential run after the Maraga nullification of the first.
Every average Kenyan instinctively perceived the poison at the heart of the Jubilee regime. That murder went overboard. The nation imported its chill. Like the body of JM Kariuki reported back in the mid 70s.
It is not for nothing all is quite on the Musando front. DGI Kameru, DCI Kinoti, DPP Haji, Police Minister Fred Matiang'i, the new Esipisu Kanze Dena, Police spokesmen Kiraithe or Owino, Uhuru Kenyatta, William Ruto, Aden the Mouth Duale, Kipchumba the debe Murkomen
..
This is the one even which nerve happened. One of those very cold, cold cases.
Anyway, THE DEVIL HIS DUES
Comparatively, Ouru Kenyatta was always a weak breed. Like his fellow aristocrats and crown princes, Gideon Moi and Musalia Mudavadi, weaned on spoon feeds, this lot never cut a figure of men who could rise beyond being projects (leave alone maturing into puppets in an imperialist chain). Nay, these kids are self-explicating weak seed. And I will explain with cold, quintessential disdain.
Uhuru Kenyatta mentally collapsed on the ICC issue. He had given up on the presidency. He was persuaded (not least by scornful Kikuyu-Kibaki handlers) to hand his lot over to the weakling Musalia Mudavadi. The Kibaki handlers were sure of MDVD as a perfect puppet. Kibaki III hologram in fact.
But there was something wrong with this aristocratic plot. It was as inferior as its Big names, it was as cheap shot as the business acumen of the Kenyan aristocrats.
Mtoto wa Masikini Ruto, the street-built and road-side-bred hustler of a kid, the own man with ace mental grit, read his fate being fixed by arrogant but inferior breeds, saw his opportunity and moved to sieze it. These aristocratic princes were joker-sh!t, they needed a mind of calibre to tool them up and beef up their guts, and show them their place of course.
William Ruto got to work. He forced Ouru Kenyatta to rescind his resignation --shetani ashindue, brave the top of a ticket uniting Kikuyus and Kalenjins to neutralise the ICC indictments, and killed off Mudavadi with a swat. Prince Musalia MDVD became a carcass for the outwitted jackal Raila to scavenge.
Looking at the remains which go for MDVD today, infer the imbecile cynicism at the heart of the Kibaki court when they settled on him for Prezzo! --Yawa!
I said Gideon Moi, Uhuru Kenyatta, Musalia Mudavadi are obvious weak seed compared to William Ruto. Of the aristocratic breed flying family standards atop the land, only Raila Odinga can give Ruto the shivers in a sword clash.
The rest are trash. And that includes other noise makers like Weta and Kalo! And one can see Ruto has smashed the Sultan to pulp.
And yet the crisis stays ---stagnation and national retardation. Wherefore the nation must rise; though before it rises, it can do a Murphy, and sink to the very bottom first.
Looking around the neighbourhood, Kenya hasn't really hit rock bottom yet, There is still flight room to crash, and shatter. The descent can be arrested or not.
HOW CAN RUTO RE-BRAND TO WIN WITHOUT RIGGING?
The prodigal son come home!? To love and cherish Mother Wanjiku, protect her, slay her enemies and put her house in order? Can this narrative hoodwink the public!? Or is it the blackmail card: the fate of the hostages in the expansive rift valley! a bluff no bandit politician seems worthy of calling!
Miguna Miguna gave us a thought: He offered the option CLASS SUICIDE to Ruto. -Eh!?
But that, methniks, is a bridge too far for our already born-again Christian William, Ruto. (awendo ok nyal weyo yiere sani, kata piny rach nade). The bird will continue to sing the way it is beaked.
What remains, I think, is for Ruto to infect Kenya with his personal tragedy. And that is escalate raw greed, to the verge of bloodthirst. He must colonise the land with corruption, totally destroy the remnants of her moral fabric. Yes, the Hustler Singh is a King Robber. He must bite and turn his fellow bandits, the ruling class, to his zombies and satelites. ---Good job at the coast by the way. Vocal cords no longer sing Pwani si Kenya. They croak Ruto Kende! (Ruto pekee), Sultani ni Mwarabu! (I hear that is the new sponsored Mji-Kenda song!)
If a bandit it must be at the top, then the top bandit Ruto it must be. I hate inferior everything. Gideon and the rest of the compromise candidates for the presidency, like Mudavadi and Kalonzo, are far, far too inferior to the Hustler Singh. It must be the real deal or nothing. If Ruto is too corrupt to rule Kenya, Moi is too corrupt to die outside jail, and, come to think of it, which politician do you really know who should be outside Kamiti maximum?
Start with your local MCA! Is he clean?
All the bandits will soon come to this realisation, only the top bandit Ruto can continue the bandit system. Without him they are lost. He can't be sacrificed without opening the flood gates upon thee bandits. The flood gates of your blood bath, bandits!
NB: MY FISHERMAN DAD RATHER CHEWED THAN ATE PUSZY
My fisherman dad pretended to jump out of his skin when he heard my explanation for abstention from bhangi. His huge coarse hands clasped the back of my head and yanked it back so that he spit-spoke into my face: 'boy, why would you do that, eat puszy? Why not just chew it like our people do and leave it at that!?' 'Eating puszy gives me a nice hard on, dad, reefing pot don't!'
'And what do the women call you, boy, pet dog?' 'No, Dad Sir, they call me a pervert, laugh, then declare they love perverts!' ''You can live with it, boy!? 'Everyday dad sir, every day a meal of puszy!'
etc etc.

THE CARAVAN OF BANDITS, BUMPS AHEADGarbage. If Nairobi city needs to be cleaned up of filth, the national treasury and central banking apparatus needs a clean job even more. (You hear of these multi billion transactions paid in one day by the government, then the same day they have disappeared around local banks, IE laundered! And Patrick Njoroge, the Big Money sheriff or traffic cop, neither heard nor saw nor thought a thought!? Who believes such a yarn!? The same thing happened in NYS I. -Pick-ups and Canters packed under the CBK, Josephine Kabura loading bales of cash! Patrick Njoroge! Africa's hottest central banker! And that Africa is rising! I said, and repeat, garbage! (MORE AT FOOTNOTE.) TO WHOM THE MONEY WENT IS A PUBLIC SECRET!This issue of cash withdrawals that leave no trace triggered a vague memory cell at the back of my mind. Luckily these days the cells are better, since I am no longer wont to be frequently inebriated by copious amounts of a famous Ugandan brew. This poison is, like the recently imported copperised sugar, readily available in the Lakelands. Eureka! It was a news report which revealed it all: how the money is laundered and to who! The case is the RUARAKA LAND SAGA. This is the one threatening to bring down the government, since no less than 10 cabinet secretaries and PS's are criminally implicated in the heist. For them, it should be KAMITI EXPRESS. FRANCIS MBURU let the cat out of the bag, and what fat cats he did. His sworn affidavit before the senate committee has it all. The extortion scheme is a well-oiled, WELL KNOWN MACHINE. ---Remember Anne NYS I Waiguru, Ababu --PAC-- Namwamba, Alfred Keter at the CBK with old bonds, Lillian NYS II Mbogo Omollo .... all talking of powerful individuals forcing them to do things they didn't want to do, but all of them not mentioning names!? Now we can tell why! FEAR! AFFIDAVIT: Three named individuals and 6 others, are front men for a cartel consisting of 1. Senior government officials, 2. Politicians, and 3. Men from the security AgenciesThe three named men are 1. Mehshack Onyango Dehay, 2. George Onduto, 3. Julius Ngare Nguyu.And it is not an undercover operation they run. They extort cash from business men and other monied individuals. Of the Ksh. 1.5 billion to be paid out, they Kartel Corporation planned to extort Ksh. 280M from Francis Mburu. Mburu is the proprietor of the Ruraka-Land beneficiary companies AFRISON IMPORT EXPORT LIMITED, and HUELANDS LTD. We can now COMBINE DATA to explain the Ksh.261m withdrawn in CASH a few hours after the government cheque came through! ---The extortionist's cut! And who are our extortionists!? (you caught me there, no idea!) But give me three seconds, I will find out for you! If three seconds is too long, you could try DGI Kameru, DPP Noordin Haji (they come from the security agencies running fronts like Dehay Onyango and co; you could also ask DCI Kinoti or anybody senior in the Uhuruto government, even Raila Odinga!) It is no state secret! Could this be why Ndegwa Muhooro is now far away in diplomacy land!? that he was a cartel web master!?And something else we can now explain too: the muted behaviour of would-be clean men like Patrick Njoroge! It is good old fear! -FEAR!Security agencies running extortion rackets tend to throw their weight around, sending these Mafia-killer look-alike capos to ward off interference, by sending the balls of many a man crawling intestine wards. Fear! They could even eyeball a President himself down! Yes, it wouldn't be the first time in history a President has been intimidated by rogue elements of his security apparatus, should Uhuru Kenyatta piss in his pants and forget the war on graft! NB: There is the dark possibility some of these ministers have been blackmailed into complicity by the security apparatus. It is called insurance cover, like when ALL SENATORS HAD TO STAB JULIUS CEASAR! -- Even you, Raychelle, mama ya bibi wa mvulana wangu!? will be our Kenyan version of the scene in the Roman senate as Julius falls, should Omamo too be one of the rotten ten!

ON BEN CHUMO'S VETTING N SUBSEQUENT REJECTION BY MPIGSBen Chumo is the former KPLC CEO. He is a human resources man, of which I gather there are multitudes. That makes it a non-rocket science study, like our history. Important now, is that from open sources, we know he is a thieving rat, one of those bureaucratic rodents making sure Africa goes nowhere, tales of a rising continent despite. But, how else be it, he protests his innocence and demands to be treated as such; yet he is out of bail; he wants to be chair of SRC, a position to which, curiously, Ouru Kenyatta again shot himself in the foot by nominating a rotten boil. However compromised themselves, the Mpigs couldn't resist squeezing out the turgid pus-ball called Chumo. Like with the scumbags Nelson Githinji, Ethan Ndubai and the Philip Kinisu's, the son of Jomo seems obsessively persuaded to exclusively nominate only cartel-pawns as the best suited to help him seal his legacy: the so-called Big Four. But I am afraid there could be a darker story encased within this 'wrong choiceness', and I have advanced the possibilities in a previous post. --Sh!t Kings can be surrendered toys for the amusement of other alpha males, creeps like Rasputin and MacArthur. In Russia there are sources which insinuate some of the late Romanovs were fathered by the mystic. Mrs Nicholas loved his c.ock. But that is a tabloid tale for another day. CHUMO'S DECONSTRUCTION IN PARLIAMENT I will call it a key moment in the on-going farce. But in its way, it demonstrates why powerful people end up with their necks strayed too far apart from their bodies, having been processed through, for example, chopping guillotine blades. An environment of uncompetitive impunity creates captains of industry full of sh!t. Kenya Power would be bigger and more prestigious than Safaricom, were it not for sh!tbags at the top! Hell, they are a virtual monopoly in a vital sector. They are sellers of industrial and domestic oxygen! But look at your grid statistics! A black-out black hole! And then look at your bill! Gold price rates for off-line! So I say it takes a sh!tbag to run such a company! The Nyali Mpig did a dare. Nyali is pwani. Pwani is these days very Kenya, at least if one goes by the noises from the caucus of bandits going for peoples representatives. We can make this case stronger by quoting Malindi's Big Mama, Aisha Jumwa: 'Pwani is more Ruto than Eldoret itself! These days!' Bravo! Howbeit at a recent grassroots event, the Nyali Mpig, former Jicho Pevu legend, Ali Moha, was heckled for his support of a corrupt national politician. He was shouted down for being a turn-coat, crossing over to be DP Ruto's azzhole or show-gun. He was loudly accused of betraying his built reputation as a fighter in the corner of the righteous! but here he was, foraging to be on the take and be made, like former young Turk, Ababu Namwamba. This cultural rebuke on his turf may have been a 'coffee-smell moment' for the young legislator. It could have fathered the contemplation which brought forth the dare we witnessed him exhibit in parliament as he vetted the scumbag Ben Chumo. Jicho Pevu, forthright and cold-blooded, seemed to have recovered his sharp-eye, or PEVU wits. Good therapy it was then, that heckling, for the moment at least. Who knows the morrow!? But Jicho Ali asked Chumo if he, Chumo, was 'out of his mind, demanding such a sensitive job while he knew he was a corrupt scumbag!' The chair of the vetting body intervened, 'you have to withdraw that charge!' Moha withdrew the charge, but reformulated it even more lethally, like: 'have you been exonerated from the corruption charges wherefore you were arraigned in court and currently serves bail terms!?' Dr. Ben Chumo's face tried the best poker mask of in his arsenal. He failed. It was like he was shocked how real the charge was, even to himself, that he was a bureaucratic robber-baron fit for execution, not promotion! The JKUAT doctoral mind of Ben Chumo had obviously never anticipated this import, that in Kenyan culture some day, he high-flying Chumo would be nothing but a death-row candidate, and his personal economic success, the result of own toil according to himself, the proof of economic crimes perpetrated against Wanjiku. The game was up -(like that of Joseph Chege Gikonyo, the KRA man of the fabled ksh. 600M fortune)! What a thankless silly land, Kenya! A genial CEO like him to be so humiliated! Well, thanks to the youth of Kenya who violently reminded JICHO PEVU whereon his popularity was based, he re-discovered his bull's eye pitches. Chumo TKO'd. But in the obsessive ethnic core-card of Kenya, Chumo is of course a Ruto pick, or a clientele of Ruto's network of patronage. And so too, the tears of the energy cabinet secretary, Charles Keter. Charles Keter himself is of course a beneficiary of the original 50/50 sharing-out of the national cream between URP and TNA. Therefore Chumo's decapitation was a coded cultural message to, chiefly, the Hustler Singh who, I have dubbed, is the King Bandit today. There is another Kenya out there fed up with bandits. Charged, they just take one look at them and however lofty the sense the looters have of themselves, they are given another reading of themselves: scum, get out of the way, we wanna move ahead.
Some Mpigs and people did try hard to save Chumo, but they gave up, scared they could go down with him. NEXT: A TALE OF TWO KALENJIN KETERS, CHARLES AND ALFRED.

A TALE OF TWO KALENJIN KETERS
B ut first, Here is are important forward notes (as opposed to footnotes). And then will we freely do all Keters, and the developing canyon between the two we have picked, Alfred and Charles as personifications of internal, cultural contradictions within an ethnicity.
1. Why are they fighting each other? how about business competition? Microsoft versus IBM, Apple versus Samsung, or, more modestly, tenderpreneurial pre-qualifications and other fat drops to dogs under the clientelist table of the cartels looting the land of Kenya.
NB: The sugar to be destroyed as unfit for human consumption is worth ksh. +6bn.
The relevant parliamentary committee can make or break the importers. Most Mpigs are on the take, with known rates for their votes on any issue. There was a fall-out at the retreat in Mombasa where the dots were to be put on the i's. WHY? Bribery to change text already agreed. ksh.6Billions is a huge sum to loose on any investment.
In fact the KEBS top official who was to CONFIRM the NATURE OF TOXIC SUBSTANCES FOUND IN THE SAMPLES, was recalled before briefing parliament! Kenyans are drinking poison and the chief government chemist is on an OMERTA!?
Yes in deed!
That is the power the cartels wield over the state bureaucrats, and the readiness of Mpigs to be bought, sold and rented. Vincent Tuwei of Mosop knows why there is so much infighting: remember those days when Koinange street was known for a certain business? well, a crawling car stopped could lead to quite a tussle between malaya's. It is that easy to decipher Kenyan Mpigs!
2.There is talk about a war on corruption. The drums are ruffling. But there is not yet a shot fired! BAAAAAADO!
Uhuru nalala!
Were there a war on corruption, you think the chief government chemist would snub parliament while citizens are munching copper and draining mercury in their daily tea!?
Fakas, this is till farce! you will see what happens when superior breeding and integrated personalities take the war on graft. Heads will roll, top heads we now think are gods!

A TALE OF TWO KALENJIN KETER'S continued.
But one crying Keter is not all Keters' crying. The one uncrying Kalenjin Keter is called Alfred. And his dissent must now be culturally imported and pondered. We remember the Miguna Miguna exorcism after he unmasked an EGWUGWU, and was subsequently scapegoated by the Luo for Da-Ker-Mayar-Dit's loss!
But I will promptly explain which crying I mean, since Alfred himself was –---yesterday 27-07-2018---grievously assaulted at the Mpigs watering hole within the precincts of parliament, and was hospitalised crying! This was a Kalenjin civil war amongst Rift Valley Mpigs. A storm in a honey-jar.
NB: On on October 6 2015 in a similar bar brawl, URP Mpigs beat up Mkuruweini Kabando wa Kabando who had roughly accosted Alfred Nandi Keter. Keter had asserted with blunt tell-off that it was not Raila Odinga and co, but rather Uhuru's clique –---of operators like Nancy Gitau and Joseph Kinyua –--- who had fixed DP William Ruto. That was in the vague ICC business of The Hague. Kabando wa Kabando was moved to be passionately of the contrary opinion.
Come July 27 2018 at the same bar, and another brawl over the fate of the same man, William Ruto.
This time reports are it was Soy Mpig Caleb Kositany and Aldai Mpig Cornelius Serem who starred as punchers mobbing Alfred Keter. They reckoned the Nandi Mpig is busy pissing too much in the own nest, soiling their King Bandit, William The Hustler Singh. I remember we Luos punched up Miguna Miguna for his book which we deemed undressed The Mysterious One! But then Miguna is the type who values more what he thinks than the golden bribes he can amass from thieves even if they are divine Kings!
So who is this Keter take on Ruto?

ALFRED KETER JOINS THE ANTI-CORRUPTION TIDAL WAVE?I still relish this moment of poker in parliament. Jicho Pevu Ali Moha of Nyali calls Ben Chumo's bluff. Today we are reading there is more rot at Kenya Power. How Chumo got that far is the story. Cartel cultivation, nurturing, protection and guidance through the maize of corruption corridors to the top! He was a ball of pus waiting to be pricked. Now his rotten stench is all over the place. There is a feeling in the air, that William Ruto's bluff can be called too, only that he has too much on his classmates. A big tree on its way down can smash a lot of trees along, and not just small ones. Meanwhile Alfred Keter is being the gudhugudhu rat in the trunk of the elephant. Maddening the herd. He is the Nandi Mpig, and, in deed, narrowly escaped the chop when the high court re-affirmed his win of the seat. Earlier on, during the allotment of the committee positions, he had been forcefully removed. It was a whip's powerplay to cut down an irritant mouth. Instead of being on message, Alfred was a jammer, and worse, something about his free, rebellious character didn't please the establishment. He was singing his own tune. Word was he was committing political suicide. A SERIES OF HUMILIATIONS FROWN OWN MISSTEPS From long ago, Aden Duale sensed trouble when he saw it Actually the issue then was the Kalenjin URP caucus were determined to impeach Anne Waiguru for theft, but it was political KICKBACK for her firing of the Kalenjin NYS Director General Kiplimo Rugut. She had reputedly fired him by SMS! A double humiliation. But the political economy of the sacking was not lost on anyone. But, interests will be interests. There are individual interests, and then collective interests. The genial politician is the one who rhymes the two without chicanery. Such are yet to be born, here. Yeah, where are we now!? to loose 30% GDP per annum to graft, it is as Francis Mburu the Ruaraka land tycoon specified: a cartel of senior bureaucrats, politicians and barons of security services are organised in a racket of economic crimes! And so it was PM Joseph Kinyua himself urging Lillian Omollo to pay up on the second NYS heist! that is in her affidavit. That was late June 2015. FF to June 2018: This is now post NYS I$II heists, Josephine Kabura and beautiful Anne Ngerita fairy tales. Githinji and Ndubai are gone, and Ndubai, an Al-Kamiti. How do we look back at this 2015 event!? NB: And then there is BUBU KETER's stand on the SGR tendering from the start, for those who remember. David Ndii has been offering some insights to the figures of late, without rebase, according to the treasury. (though of course the boss of the Treasury, David Rotich, from what we recently saw of his sugar import figures, and earlier on the Eurobond, has a very faulty grasp of statistics and data wherefore his credibility is a layman's among specialists. But the Harvardman's performance could be deliberate amnesia of course, induced by Kartel-kept rogue docs!)Anyway After the fiasco in which he was captured at a weighing bridge being a complete fool for the sake of an Indian side-dish, one would have thought with the enemies he had, Nandi Keter would watch his back some. But if the flesh is weak and is prone to adultery, so too is the soul cheap and prone to delusions of overnight wealth. Alfred was arrested trying to cash in forged treasury bills, worth 633M ksh. From the way they were ready for him all the way to the press, it could have been a set up, but still, Keter was asking for it. And he got it. Good lesson, these punches which drive the air out of lungs or break teeth. Forewarned, is forearmed.-- next, continued.

This time reports are it was Soy Mpig Caleb Kositany and Aldai Mpig Cornelius Serem who starred as punchers mobbing Alfred Keter. They reckoned the Nandi Mpig is busy pissing too much in the own nest, soiling their King Bandit, William The Hustler Singh. I remember we Luos punched up Miguna Miguna for his book which we deemed undressed The Mysterious One! But then Miguna is the type who values more what he thinks than the golden bribes he can amass from thieves even if they are divine Kings!
So who is this Keter take on Ruto? here is an attempt at a take. A CULTURAL RESURGENCE TOWARD THE RECLAMATION OF HISTORICAL IDENTITY?NB: So what is up here in Kaleoland!? The guilty are afraid? And Uhuru's war on graft is not even serious, yet!? Jomo's son is merely stirring the pot, lighting fires here and there, watching frogs leap up and down, playing seek, break-windows and hide, enjoying the mischief his fellow prince, Raila Odinga is introducing him to. Raila is of course a dyed-in-the-arts political rascal to boot. Such is very good company in boardroom chicanery. Thus does Ouru find some breathing space for his own legacy, outside the vice-like grip DP Ruto has held him since he became his tool back in the game of the Kibaki succession. Woi! A thesis The venom seething at the grassroots against corruption and the corrupt, is, me asserts, the real force driving not only Ouru to save his own skin, but route-marching other folks too, toward their ORIGINAL SELVES. I am grinning somewhat at Alfred Keter and Jicho Pevu Moha with that 'folks' bit. At one time or other, these two veered toward loosing their harder cores upon which, originally, their rise and fame was buoyed! They seemed to be following the mutant template of (the now politically deceased) Ababu Namwamba: building a progressive, rubble-rousing reputation against the hated establishment, only to trade it off for incorporation at exorbitant rates. Radicalism as Business posturing. But Ababu may have been the last of this breed of charlatans. In the interim, the situation has radicalized, with wrathful consequences moving on from mouths waxing wroth, to deeds life threatening. Important is to say our historical identity has never been in doubt. We have always condemned thievery, burnt thieves, even chicken and goat thieves; we have always stoned pick-pockets to death, tied stones to net stripers (fish thieves) and sank them to the bottom of the Lake. In our historical identity, there is absolutely no literature of WORSHIPPING THIEVES, there is no honour in bowing before thieves, and NEVER WILL BE. Every thief always knew there was a noose coming for his neck. And as for those Cartelists selling poisonous sugar, the rule on those who positioned themselves to POISON collective wells where everybody drew water and livestock quenched thirst, remained the same for centuries: they werw strung up above ground, a basket tied to their private parts; every passer-by adds a weight of stone, and they are left thus until vultures and hounds gnaw them to bones, or they rot and fall apart. A society's defense of her vitals is precise and ruthless. There are no two ways about it. That is why the Korean president who was here the other day, is in jail today. She thieved, and allowed her court more leeway to theft. Refuse and garbage she became. We used to be that precise and matter of fact in the defense of our tribal interests, collective or individual. ENTER COLONIALISM. I base this dissertation on the famous thesis of Amilcar Cabral. Colonialism is first and foremost a battle on the culture of a people. This means National liberation is a restoration of the historical identity of a people. Colonialism is the institutionalised repression thereof, which means the colonial is significantly a depersonalised personality. But the struggle keeps him upright, sane and wholesome, dignified and weaponised, even as he or she is led to death for treason (against the colonial system!). This is why, while Samoei arap Koitalel was just another primitive ape to be treacherously swatted down by a lowly colonial apparatchik, to us of the Kenyan history of resistance, he is an all-star pantheon, up there where Abraham Lincoln is to the Americans. (No doubt even the most bestial Nandi landgrabbers since, seek to invoke the spirit of Samoei, the most famous anti-land grabbing Nandi, to 'alibise' their cheap, anti-people sordid crimes!)Holy sh!t I say! This is the irreconcilability of narratives, between the colonist and the colonial, between the Nairobi state bandits and Wanjiku, between liberation and oppression, slave and master. So too, is Yasser Arafat the FATAH terrorist to the state of Israel, easily the Palestinian hero of national liberation. Tell that to the likes of Netanyahu! (But Uri Avnery, the founder of Gush Shalom just did that! They declared him a self-hating insane Jew! I suggest, O Kenyan, that you read one of his essays yourself, to find out just how INSANE Uri is! I tell you he is a raving lunatic!) Israeli journalist Uri Avnery meets with PLO leader Yasser Arafat in Beirut, Lebanon, July, 1982. zope.gush-shalom.org/home/en/channels/avnery "Pessimism means nothing to me. I am never pessimistic. I only look to see whether the situation is getting better or worse." Uri Avnery became well-known for being the first Israeli to meet with the Palestinian PLO head Yasser Arafat in Beirut during the 1982 Lebanon War On that note of irreconcilable narratives, I have another one for you. I always use it to provoke unspecified thoughts in the minds of some students. Its a marvel to watch them search for dormant gears to engage. 'Why do you think', I always ask, 'that in the popular-to-primitive cultural outputs of Luoland, like Ahangla and Benga, and funeral drums, piano beats and guitar rhythms have such riotous codifications of of what we call NYAKAWA UN LANG'O?'It was Daniel Owino Misiani and Shirati Luo Voice who first popularised the phrase 'Nyakawa un Lang'o!' (But this is not the place to unravel the depths of what 'lang'o' means in Luo narratives of national formations. Of late Lang'o is also an odd term for the Kipsigis and Kalenjins. But it is to Uganda one must go, find THE LANGI, and delve into their dark sibling split with the Acholi, millennia ago! It is a tale beyond the scope of this missive. But Okay, cat out of the bag: in the historical identity politics of the Luo nation, Rabala Hezekiah Ochuka is a resistance canon. Of course he was hanged like a dog by Moi-KANU for treason in the aftermath of the failed August 1 coup of 1982, but Spartacus will be Spartacus sedition, a rock of heroism for slaves seeking to shove off the yokes of Rome. Defeated and crucified like a -Father why ar thee forsaken me---- crying Jesus or not, Spartacus is an icon of the freedom fight for slaves. And so too, to the non-collaborating Gikuyu, Dedan Kimathi was always, and will always be, the more potent symbol of dignity, hanged anonymously like a dog or not, grave lost to history or not. Meanwhile at parliament buildings it is Jomo's bones usurping the honour! Yeah, the world upside down! That there is your clear proof of DEPERSONALISATION of the colonial; this is the conclusive evidence of our continued historical psychosis, or hysterical denial of reality. The state cultural space is still under foreign occupation. Fast forward: I want you to understand why Ruto must be the President of the republic of Kenya. He is the most ardent denial of Kenya's historical personality within the ruling class. He is the best potential keeper of the neo-colonial dismemberment. He is The Bandit of Bandits. This is the period of excellence. If a bandit it must be, then the best bandit it must be. This is no time for half measures. This is a crisis. Nobody within the ELITE running Kenya's political economy differs with William Ruto on principle. This fact is worth a repeat: the difference between Ruto and the rest is not ideological. It is just that they fear his appetite and temper. The Singh is a top predator, and the comprador cannibals recognise themselves as his meal, soon. They are just inferior sh!t, that is all. Gloved fangs they are. REMAINS OPTION RESISTANCE. Where the military odds are heavily with the colonial dominator, it is to culture we turn, to decipher the fireworks. With American and Chinese finance backing, ---- Obama's Bechtel double-carriage endorsements, Xi Jin Pin's railway gifts and more white elephants, the Neocolonial Kenyan state is strong in its international position of subservience to foreign capital. We may abhor the Chinese akidas whipping our adult buttocks bare on the barren tracks, or, if you wish, chewing black ars to their fill for the lowest rates ever, but as Michael Kamau the former CS transport opened up, ' they pay, they say, we obey!' President Uhuru Kenyatta, Zhang Dejiang, the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China and Speaker of the National Assembly, Justin Muturi, converse after bilateral talks between Kenya and China at State House, Nairobi. Nor would the KDF last a day in Somalia without the EU and the USA pay days. But make no mistake, Nairobi has a strong hand in the global trade, or game of souls. Only yesterday we saw the Swiss coming to kiss ars for contracts; the EU tripping over themselves blind over rigged elections; Raila bribed into collusion; the IMF$WB authoring blurb after blurb about a roaring economy, etc etc, that is as rock solid as a neo-colony can get from its allies who, in effect, are her expropriators. Very strong and insured we are. So insured we can play COLONIST over Somalia even as Uganda slices off rocks like Migingo. But a national narrative of success based on oppression and the negation of historical personality is a keg of powder ever primed. Even a-political vandals can set it off. We saw senator Kipchumba Murkomem suddenly turn the straightforward Mau evictions into a stand-off between two communities. There had to be night meetings on end to pacify the evil spirits escaped. We are that brittle. In fact, the narrative of the Uhuruto pact, was the creation of peace between Ying and Yang in the rift valley. In the spirit of CULTURAL RESISTANCE therefore, is how I propose to decode the farce of Jicho Pevu deflating Ben Chumo, and Alfred Keter going for a David on the Goliath Ruto. In the rule, Ruto should have Keter for dinner, but watch how nervous he is. All his minions in the Rift Valley are mobilised to hate-campaign Keter to political death, the way, O yes, the ODM Luo bureaucracy was mobilised to endorse Raila's pitch, that Miguna Miguna was mwenda azimu with that book of his! That is the sh!t about culture: ALWAYS KNOWS WHAT A SPADE IS, AND A BIG Spoon. it knows what theft is and it can call a thief a thief. Where Ouru and Raila see in Arap Moi a Baba wa Taifa, culture does not need the Kroll Audit to report and insist Arap Moi was and remains a barbarian looter who financially ruined Kenya. Two years of a Mwai Kibaki moratorium on state looting, and Daniel Arap Moi's 25 years proved themselves beyond doubt to be where the likes of Singapore and Korea gained century mileages on us. And then the drunkard Othaya don mentally collapsed into a carcass for cartels! And here we are, priming Ruto for another run at atavism. For a society to WORSHIP THIEVES and continually elevate rot to the top the way we seem inclined, is to be culturally perverted. It is to be IDENTITY disfigured, dignity compromised and, how else, integrity undefined. -This last, as an EXCLUSIVE ELITE PHENOMENON; we saw clearly when an intellect the range of Wily Mutunga collapsed dead, when it was culturally tasked, as Chief Justice no less, to import unto the statues of the land, the thrust of the CHAPTER SIX, the integrity clause. But Behold! That perversion is merely a ruling class institutionalised exclusive. Because out there in Kenya, we burn thieves on the streets and the market place; and these days in estates, if you are found pumping another man's wife, you will be lucky if your manhood is not lynched off on the spot. These are the decided actions of a populace with well-defined concepts of moral rot, IE integrity or not. This is not a land called Academia Abstracta, nor some fake republic with fake institutions led by fake competences, No, in this reality, the real Kenya, a thief is a thief, and the thief is either safe in jail, or dead alongside the road. The rejection of theft is ultimate and ruthless, cruel and inhuman --and it is what has confused killer-cops like Katitu, formerly of Githurai. It is a consciousness decided beyond doubt, and very dangerous to simple minds. For piety can easily slide into fanaticism. But a crisis is no place for romantics Thus it is this irreconcilability with elite perversion which is the turbulence we are entering now, because the debate has burst open, everywhere. From the market to the matatu, from both houses of parliament to the courts, Kenyans are debating the same. From the bedrooms of the homeless to the bedrooms of the single-room shacks, from State House Nairobi to the State Dacha in Bondo, from the LEGICOs of the MCA's to local agents of Mpigs
.... the nation comes to terms with its official culture of self-defeatist graft
.... every mouth is abuzz with the corruption debate, every mind awake to one or other of its implications, personal or otherwise. Kenyan culture is healthy. Debating. Pondering the options. Forcing impunity to scare, forcing the lords of impunity to consider option B. Here is an example of what I call the Lord of impunity showing nervous twitches Kinyua apologising and begging anybody for understanding!? WTF! Until one remembers Chairman Ngatia of the KRA has already thrown down a marker: the JACOBIN option. And Kenyans are canvassing for a referendum on it. There are sounds of blades sharpening, and this time not for petty thieves. Everybody seems to be getting the message. Corruption will go, either the constitutional way, or the bloody way. The countdown is on. Goebbels going for that gun, why!? Culture is the worst word in the world. It is worse than patriotism, the alleged last refuge of the scoundrel according to wit. NB: Me repeats the thought there is no cultural resurgence. There is merely an assertion of an old fact never wholly subsumed, regardless of the terror of colonialism to avoid its landgrab being called so. Ony this time the fact -of outrage at theft--- is going public with such malicious loudness as to make it impossible for the elite to adopt that ostrich pose, deluding themselves in their own infallibility, or constitutional immunity guaranteed by a corrupted judiciary. We thus must ask our shoe-in president in store, how infallible he thinks he is, given he is now a named thief in, for instance, Weston Hotel Lang'ata Primary School land. Can Djinis the likes of Alfred Keter or Jicho Moha be re-bottled!? Yes I think so, but the tidal wave against graft can't be. All trash will be washed away. NB: what is the name again of that guy who had one hour all to himself on TV because other Vice Presidential candidates found it beneath their dignity to show up for the debate? There was something of a born political arsonist in him. There are now more pyromaniacs, in politics I mean, not secondary schools! Continued. (no time to revise yet!)

WHEN OPTION RUTO IS OUTBETS ON RETHINKS AND BANDIT SOCIO-PATHOLOGIESMy debating club is opening bets. Is the future of Alfred Nandi Keter and Jicho Pevu Moha of Nyali, that of ex moderniser and progressive pretender, Ababu Namwamba? The tabled analysis is Mr. Ababy lost his young Turkishness because his mouth is jammed full of goodies, courtesy of the corrupting benevolence of The Hustler Singh. What we cannot agree on is whether Ababy was a stomach politician all along, or whether, events shaping choices, as in apparent with Coastals like Aisha Jumwa, he evolved or rather degenerated piecemeal by piecemeal like the case of Obi Okonkwo. This representative case of post-colonial afro-urban socio pathologies, God's case no appeal, is clinically studied and eloquently narrated by the Maestro Achebe in NO LONGER AT EASE. That was after things fell apart. Things also change, besides falling apart, people change too; Saul's mutate into Paul's, and many born Paul's mature into Saul's. But some things you are born and you stay to death. For example cowardice. It is impossible to internalise courage if you are not born with it. One can pretend courage during sunny days, but in a crisis when bluffs are called by reality, their nerves will wilt. Remember those folk tales your beloved Grand Ma used to tell your childhood as she accelerated the fires under the pot of maize and beans for supper? I think of those evenings, the darkness a blanket over Old Africa. The only light was from the fireplaces of three stones; prowling nocturnal animals bellowed their mating sounds, the night an orchestral cacophony of non human life. Sometimes there was enough moonlight to attempt doing school homework, but mostly it was too dark, even if the stars, high up in the sky, shone bright. But if the stars shone, retired sea-faring men would gather us young boys for a lesson in telling routes by stars. It is called navigation these days. -----(This strand of thought is continued elsewhere for it is fisherman dad tangent.) The original intent was another piece, this below. I am discovering the twitterati of Kenya and the inhabitants of Planet Social Media find some amusement in the confusion Uhuru Kenyatta exhibits in the exercise of his authority as head of state, respective corruption. His resolve is continously undercut by the fact that his family is in the thick of it. His helper therefore have to snipe! some targets are no go! I wonder why my laughter is not full throttle, why, immediately I start to chuckle, I suffer an interruptus which descends into a shudder. I detect a historical joke going dark, possibly. That is why I was happy when one our classmates recently returned from an orientation course in Rwanda and asked us to ponder why we think William Ruto can not mutate into a Kagame-like performer?Her face was on its usual grave self so I for one couldn't ascertain whether it was a poker play! To start things off, here is a non-committal Kenyan reporting. It is a falsely innocent read for those who YEARN to live in an orderly, working African dictatorship. This is the authoritarian Rwanda Model so-called, Here you are. There are harsh jokes history plays on peoples, and you never know until you find out. I can not live in Rwanda myself, I told the club. I have fishy habits. I love arguing with people. I fear for my neck under Mankind gods. When my students don't want to say something because of fear, it is the end of story for me. I feel no magic no more at being a teacher. I then would rather be a soldier, conveying and obeying orders, heart as hard as granite and eyes ever at bloodthirst. Behold No, I want my students to be mentally combative, sharp and daring to think and voice the unthinkable. Coz I think the human mind is an infinite instrument. Curtail it, you are a lower species of being. A soldier, a robot on a kill algorithm. 'So, sorry guys, no more, I am beyond the Rwanda Model. But, corruption inebriated Kenya, I understand your forlorn romanticism for orderly despots. Anything but this Jubilee-Handshake sh!t, jeez, aint it desperate times!' We put it to a vote in our debating club. The Luos chose the Singapore model for the proposed Luoland autonomous republic. Here is how the leader of the Asian wing of Luo economic thinking put me down, quoting Lee The Chairman of the chit-chat club looked at me. 'Sorry Jakaswanga, dhi many tich Nairobi Kenya. There can you and the likes of wa Thiong'o write whatever you want. Luoland will go zero tolerance on corruption but also curtail certain forms of Freedom of expression! Goodbye!'Yes Nairobi Kenya here I come! A refugee from proposed Singapore's! But for this Singapore option Ruto is out!! Why? This option uses stellar economic performance and working, exemplary public services to rationalise itself. This requires zero-tolerance to corruption, requires a ruthless purge of political and bureaucratic vermin sacking the state coffers. It requires economic frugality, sober decision making, transparency in government business and book keeping. That cuts out kickbacks from tenders, cuts out deliberately inflated state billing, frees money from the pockets of cartels and their tenderpreneural proboscis' in politics and administration. Those are The Hustler's specialities! King Bandit! Singapore under Lee Kuan Yew!?Ruto himself would be serving 40 years for the Lang'ata-primary-school-Weston-Hotel-parking thingy. And for YK'92 economic crimes, life after commutation from death. Who is your model now, Kenya? It really can't be an Asian tiger, can it!? You want your bluff called, Ghenya!? You still want the Singapore model!? NB: jukwaa.proboards.com/thread/9611/holes-mental-streets-wandering-nations?page=3 WILLIAM RUTO: KING OF GRAFT AS THE SHOE-IN PRESIDENT? The scumbag political top-layer have a simple problem. How can they, a parcel of rogues, turn out heroes in the nationally popular fight against corruption, while at the same time elevating one of their most corrupt members to the top political office in the land?How can things change, as Ouru Kenyatta bellows with his declared battle on graft, only to stay the same, with his corruption inebriated deputy succeeding him without a shot!? what gives!? So William Ruto requires tremendous political skill and luck to pull off a compromise. But this is high stakes politics, so luck does not count. Skill and daring does. And a ruthless streak. DARING, ALL OPTIONS ON THE TABLE! If we consider elections can be rigged, and in deed have been rigged in Kenya before, a solution template already presents itself. In fact the latest rigging of the presidential vote was only last year. Subsequently the question of legitimacy threatened to undercut Uhuru Kenyatta's tenure and legacy. There was much political turmoil fermented by Agwambo. The swearing-in of the peoples president may have been mock and kalongolongo, but the 30% turn-out which gave Uhuruto the 98% victory (after the first ran into a Maraga No), also meant duly elected did not mean legitimate and the whole process was a circus. Kenya went into the grips of political farce, a Triumvirate. The comedy of the handshake is a further rendition of the theme. --But the truth be said, one thing the handshake has done is resolve the Triumviracy. Uhuru Kenyatta is now President beyond question. Raila and Ruto can vie for vice --the way Raila as PM once vied for hierarchy with Kalonzo as VP, with Kibaki as top-dog. (remember how the later NASA-TICKET would bicker over the microphone like Sonko and Tobiko!) Daring is for Ruto to contemplate achieving power with another rigging too. If Ruto convinces the establishment he is a safe pair of hands, an election win can be arranged for him, one way or another. And I mean, even by murder. And not of a bureaucratic cog like Musando. As to whether Kenya can stomach another rigged election punctuated by murder or murders, that is a wait and see. A lot of people will take sides only once the fog has cleared some. Meanwhile PARANOIA BEGINS TO CREEP IN Here is a nervous court breaking surface. They summoned Noordin Haji to come and explain his WITCHUNT!

THE CULT OF HESZY'S BOOMERANGS ON THE ELITEOverspeeding caravan of bandits flagged. Know the latest stars of killer-cops prowling the crime dens of Eastlands Nairobi!? Latest because earlier on we had the capos' of the dreaded special unit called QweQwe. After they served their usefulness (especially in the elimination of the Mungiki after the organisation went rogue on their former Mount Kenya elite patrons) the QweQwe were of course demobilised, or, specifically, dispatched. So many secrets were thus sealed forever. But the elitist need to have killer-cops in operation didn't disappear. A new generation filled the vacuum. They achieved notoriety and celebrity status of stardom under the acronym Hessy. The Heszy of Dandora and the Heszy of Kayole became the most famous and social media legends. The trigger-tripping cops would have texts like this: 'I say Ruto, Tarus, Waluke, Chumo, na wewe Awiti, Kidero, Waiguru, Muraguri, vilevile Kabura na Ngirita na kadhalika, I say Lipeni disco matanga yenu mapema. Mali ya uma hamuezi kuenda nae mbali, tena hamutaweza kushiba nae tele na milele, tena muachie mpango's wenu: WEZI KUMBAFU nyini! This is the end of the road!' That is the way the Heszy's made famous in FACEBOOK. And after that ' disco matanga' quip, Kenyans would indulge their fetish for gory by viewing the pages show-casing the bullet-ridden remains of the mentioned gang, extra-judicially done for. There were bound to be excesses and mistakes. The most striking was when a cop famous as Katitu, executed an innocent man in Githurai. And the bubble burst. Now what's wrong, O thee Elites, that you shudder at Ngatia? -- Redman Ngatia notorious as aspirant All Kenya Heszy for the YouTube generation. Ngatia of KRA is the aspiring Heszy of Kenya to clean up top bandits, the ones the EACC, DCI, DPP, Maraga Courts, Parliament committees, and other Hessy's wont touch. He is pledged to make the above real Hessy quote come to pass. Here is my Jukwaa Watch on Martin NgatiaThe Fates warned ya, O our state bandits: The Fates warned ya; the Mobutocracy is doomed, but thee Scumbag robber barons are addicted to tenderpreneurial honey The Kenyan kleptocrats and state bandits are proofed against doom They are parasites of no other consciousness but to sponge and engorge, but the Fates warned ya in LARRY FLYNT vs THE PEOPLE: 'Let the law protect the lowest scumbag, then it will surely protect us all! Let the law be fair, and equal in measure to all!' Or Film version But our Kenyan state bandits declined. And that is post the 2010 great document promulgated! -Behold! Thee let the QweQwe loose on Eastlands, to roam with gunhand, to hunt and kill desperados. Thee deemed the petty gun robbers from the slums lowly scum, below Geneva conventions, howbeit, a kind of ' enemy combatant' disqualified from the full protections of the law, any renaissance law. Thee disavowed their Kenyan humanity, defined them untermenschen, reduced to wild game to be shot ad-lib by hunter-killer cops. Thee thought them not legible to due process, nor were the tedious catacombes of law necessary for them to wander. We the people cheered, of course ever the Roman crowd at a gladiators's show, with forked heart. The same Parisian crowd which only a few months ealier had flattered Marie Antoinette with cheers laced with lusty admiration, now cheered as her kissable neck was set to be sliced through by a monstrous, rattling blade. The difference between the people and a mob is ever so thin. It is a dangerous walk, playing them. Now we the people are showing their hand, and our vile-forked hearts flower their duplicity in turn. Now the Kenyans are gearing to let loose upon thee, state bandits, the peoples own brand of Heszy or Heszy's. These are the likes who, using barbed wires, will hang kina Waiguru, Ruto, Moi, Kidero, Muraguri
.. live at Uhuru Park. It is God's case no appeal. Forget bond hearings, bail applications or those rigmaroles where a corrupt judiciary derails, delays then annuls cases against top looters, setting them free to be recycled again at the top, like was intended with Ben Chumo, the ex bandit of KPLC. What goes around comes around. The extra-judicial liquidation of the corrupted Kenyan elite in toto, is now being seriously discussed by Kenyans as a referendum issue. The Duterte option. I can't understand why every bandit is not singing the gospel of the handshake like it were salvation. But that is what it is, the bandit's escape, a life boat. FOOTNOTES: DEALING WITH BANDIT SUSPECTS,NAIROBI MODEL How many people are really looting millions and billions from Wanjiku? they surely can't be more than the 6,000 reportedly executed by flying squad the past three years. Remember the people versus Larry Flynt. ---Do you really think bred killer-cops will develope moral qualms and refuse the orders of new masters of the land, when the regime changes and they are ordered to execute the current crop of multi-billion looters being set free by David Maraga and his 'high-standard courts'?To what are killer-cops really loyal to!? it could be money, it could be nothing, it could be orders like all soldiers! But for every bandit, high or low, there is a killer-cop waiting for orders. In Kenya that is a guarantee!

1. On this sugar business, a footnote on Evans Kidero is required. Something he couldn't do to Miguna Miguna, but he he is doing to a Standard Journalist, like he did to Khalwale: gagging.
THE PARASITISM OF TENDERPRENEURIAL BANDITS
Here us the ABC of how these ticks engorge. It is a Carbon-copy Nigeria's experience! The oil-producing giant one time spent tens of millions of dollars on an oil refinery which, ten years on, never delivered a single barrel of refined oil! One of the crooks responded: be patient, what is a decade? the plant will deliver to expectations in the next decade! there is time!
Ati president Kenyatta did what? Aint there a secret tender for the biometric registration of Kenyans currently on!?
2. This level of parasitism can not surely be cured without concentrated fumigation. DPP Haji needs a plan B. Curently he is a dead duck swimming up a waterfall.
footnote:
If you use public means of transport in dotke, you know the public debate is waiting for somebody to come up an just kill these people. There is no mincing words about corruption out there. Only at the top.

THE KING BANDIT AND THE LITTLE BANDITS AROUND THE TABLEThe Kenyatta family, to whom Uhuru Kenyatta is currently the star dynast, did of course make keep (or gather fabulous fortune) through state banditry. That banditry or corruption to the extent of murderous impunity is the so-called primitive accumulation defined as KLEPTOCRACY or, its most perverted African form, a Mobutocracy. Mobutu-Who? Him the fabled Sese Seko, Master Hen who hatches and protects all chicks --since so wide of span are his wings, is the (Popular Revolutionary Movement) MPR candidat na Biso Everlast, famed of TPOK lyrical records and Makiada guitarworks, back in them days when DRC was still Zaire. Kenyatta snr institutionalised corruption like most of his peers. His successor, and his son Uhuru's political godfather, Daniel Arap Moi, escalated the institutionalised corruption ---perfected the degeneration of Kenya so much he is known as the professor of ethnic politics. By the time the professor left office, him Arap Moi too had garnered a fortune as to rival the chief Hen, Mobutu Sese Seko. After the darkness of prof. DT arap Moi, came the bolt of light, Emilio Mwai Kibaki, and for him too, a life time in top bureaucracy without building any multinational with his renowned economic brains, left him one of the richest Kenyans ever. In deed his family fortune is just short of Nicolas Biwott's. Brother Nick too was bureaucrat of the state that manufactures billionairs overnight at the top! This state has now become a body overinfested with tapeworms at every vein and artery and valve of commercial transaction. What we are chronicling here, and daily in the press, is the anatomy of institutionalised, governmental corruption. This has been the only route to the fairytale riches of the Kenyan elite. Thereafter arises the need to protect that ill-gotten loot. To protect it O YES, especially, from CONFISCATION. This dispossession can be done (1) on behalf of the people in a process called re-nationalisation, or (1) it can be the acquisition by hostile take-over by a more powerful rival from an ascendant faction. --The case of Simmers Club is a microscopic insight. As minister of finance (then already paired with Joseph Kinyua) Uhuru Kenyatta was the man of the computer errors. That was a euphemism for a heist. This Ouru Kenyatta has been president for some time, and under his tenure, he has sanctioned legendary heists, like the Eurobond at which he laughed off the Auditor General's attempts to trace the sack. But now, it is William Ruto fingered to swing for (new) corruption. The Hustler is pegged to be the pesonification of rot, according to a powerful faction of his classmates. That narrative necessitates a SELECTIVE MEMORY. A strategic amnesia must be called upon. ONLY NEW CORRUPTION is on the table. WHY? coz You do OLD CORRUPTION, you have the likes of Moi and Kibaki loosing their memory at KAMITI, or, after a week, bail be given, back home wetting their beds hoping for amnesty. Then too, should you do OLD CORRUPTION, just about anybody who ever was a CEO of some parastatal, if he or she still lives, ministerof PS was, undergoes the same bed-wetting nervous breaks. There is also the dread of accounts being frozen, the Chumo and Ndubai and Ngerita's style. (The Gethi boy suffered kind fate, he was asked to return part of the NYS I heist quietly and lie low for a while!) OLD CORRUPTION is therefore a no-go area for this bandit class in this their forced anti-graft lip-war. The skeletons that would tumble out would be a political meltdown. Many a well-retired successful man would end up a prison wreck, a smoked-out thief. Some bygones must be let be bygones, may be. The Kroll report wasn't even a tip of the iceberg. It was just a whistle blow. And it already proved too much for the rodents. Howbeit like a neurosis whose nest deep in the subconscious is left unhandled, this Kenya of selective amnesia remains a highly unstable reality. But such ramshackle can be patched up temporarily, wheeled out on to the streets for a while before they rapidly breakdown and have to be re-admitted into the ward of failed personalities, or permanent banana republics at the bottom of a civilisation measured by industrialisation. It is thus just a herd instinct, that the treasury rustlers plot to offer Ruto's head for the noose, to appease public fury at all bandits. I remember a song from the Wild West. Cattle rustlers were the first to volunteer to string up another thief caught in the act. It was nothing personal. Apart from there being no honour among thieves, all thieves know once in a while some will be caught, and to make sure a pogrom to flush out all thieves is not launched by irate lynch mobs, the thieves themselves must hurry to diffuse the situation. There is always a rope ready to be a noose around a thief's neck. All thieves know this curse of destiny. Every line of life has its risks. (Atropos, Clotho and Lachesis makes sure of this, daughters of the Crook Zeus!) Mesays the lesser thieves think the situation is so bad a fat neck --and Ruto's neck is, is what the noose calls for. For public anger sure is nasty in the wake of all these scandals HOW CAN RUTO PROTECT HIS KNOWN ACHILLES HEEL?How can the graft King stay standing in the midst of a war on graft!? --Because it is a fake war! Those fighting it wouldn't dare a fencing with real swords that draw blood. Theirs too would be quickly drawn, fatally. But that is just for the corruption inebriated classmates of The Hustler. Kenya is wider and has more actors of course. These too need attendance and some are beyond bluff and comprador gimmicks. But the public need a hoodwink, or another scapegoat to quench their rage, or some other huge distraction. This can be done or arranged. Has been done before. Can The Hustler rebrand? Can the Singh re-mutate? (no, not class suicide as Miguna would propose!) Can Sir William weather the public storm? -- (Yes he can, if he is the only Big Fish primed for the kill, and that priming is wholly by the second generation SCIONS of corruption incorporated at that!) Remember that remark about MTOTO WAS TAJIRI AKIIBA, NA WA MASKINI AKIPATA!? Hehe! Ruto's only option is hardball with his classmates. That is blackmail and dare. Watch it, I am Samson! With suicidal hand must he poker. With the people it is tougher but not impossible ---which is why the rigging option must remain the most open. Even within the Kalenjin hommies, there is trouble with Graft Kings, and with him. 'No, they don't steal for the community, they steal for themselves, their families and cronies', goes the rejection line. 'No, Kenyatta taught Kenyans to think all Kikuyus' are thieves, now Ruto and his coterie are replaying the theme, making Kenyans mock us: show me a Kalenjin and I will show you a thief!' This was cracked in a rally in Uasin Gishu/Eldoret and ribs were cracked! For the people therefore, there has to be a total mea culpa. The Singh must admit he is a thief, that he has errored, conquered by greed, like that powerful lust which turned him Baba Anna, but now the lord has spoken to him, and no more will he be bad! Christians are a forgiving lot; they love tales of repentance, being born again, and prodigal sheep no longer lost. But only after a confession! A CONFESSION!? Good gracious me! Yeah, the confession is a deep dare! It is that Jesus trick when an adulterous woman was cornered and readied for execution by stoning. -LET HE CAST THE FIRST STONE WHO IS INNOCENT! (Meanwhile Jesus indulged his toe fetish, absorbed as it were in the elegant, suck-worthy endowments of the amorous enchantress!) When he looked up again, the mob had melted! Who, amongst the elite will rise to cast the first stone at Ruto in name, and give data!? Only an outside like Eliud Muthiora Kariara -Japheth Kavinga's running mate of last year Ruto's classmates will stick to innuendos! The rest is a deal to protect their ill-gotten wealth, like Kibaki and Raila rushed to do with Daniel Arap Moi soon after they won. After these backroom parley involving all sectors of the thieving elite, the rest is rigging the elections! Otherwise the path is open for a pirate or rogue to stir things up and prepare the nation for the real deal. A giant step for Kenya, a real war on corruption. It is a thriller in Nairobi. NB: TREASURY ERRORS FROM THE PAST jukwaa.proboards.com/thread/5426/computer-errors-treasury-again jukwaa.proboards.com/thread/5431/breaking-uhuru-preparing-budget-excuse jukwaa.proboards.com/thread/6283/uhuru-muthauras-deadly-finance-bill Next: DID I HEAR ADEN DUALE RIGHT!?

1. On this sugar business, a footnote on Evans Kidero is required. Something he couldn't do to Miguna Miguna, but he he is doing to a Standard Journalist, like he did to Khalwale: gagging. NB:If you use public means of transport in dotke, you know the public debate is waiting for somebody to come up an just kill these people. There is no mincing words about corruption out there. Only at the top. FOOTNORE KIDERO? Yes, Imagine that! DPP Haji and DCI Kinoti! A PHANTOM ARREST! ---Of course this is the work of the EACC, the body in court seeking to have the police barred from investigating corruption cases within their files already! And they have a compelling reason, Waqo and the likes of that clergy joker whose name is too worthless to bother mention: the police are historically the most corrupt arm of government, you can't let thieves investigate thieves! Even worthless bodies can make very strong points I tell you! Haji and Kinoti will not make phantom arrests, no, they will arrest culprits for real, but they will make PHANTOM PROSECUTIONS! I think that is the deal here. The political deal or parley amongst the bandits. No old corruption like Mumias! So I state above somewhere .... I was planning a footnote on Evans Kidero here, in the bandit thread. Instead it developed into a Luo Pivot Post, and I had to defer or dilly-dally for a while. In a Luo Pivot post, Kidero is of course nothing but a bandit scum, and his lawyer, or consigliere, prof. Ojienda, belongs to the JSC scumbags facilitating the loot of the land. The types who should be hanged unceremoniously, as i argued here. -That KPMG report on Mumias which the ODM never heard of. But first, this was the latest outrage from Kidero and his legal arm, the arm-twisting which the duo couldn't afford on Miguna, but could on Bonny Khalwale, the fallen bull. Some more interesting footnotes: Ping Pong Ping Pong! ---Give me that cold eye of Mao again, on the banks of the Yang-Tse, or is it the fanged distant look of Kagame, listening to this kind of smart-alec thief sh!t! This cat of tens of lives, reports say, was arrested today. That does not mean he has run out of luck. Meaning: relax, William Ruto relax. One can be arreted in Kenya, yet one knows not of his arrest! that is how farcical we get in Kenya. Too, recall, the Mpigs disowned their own report on the contaminated sugar! Or was it doctored behind their backs, en route along Mombasa road from a hotel to city square parliament!? Farce! So I thought of a sting, thinking of The Singh and the Kalenjin. Beads and beans as the Lostman OtishOtish used to put it. It is a steep lesson for Luo nationalism in abstractia. Under Captain Agwambo, 'we' failed to take import of the significance of the juicy, lofty chalice; namely the governorship of the county of Nairobi. Easily said, this is the number three political job in the land; second to the unity of the presidency and his deputy, Uhuruto. What 'we' did was, instead of finding our local version of YES WE CAN --like that meteoric Alegoman of the USA, or some other futuristic go-getter from the lands of the Washemeji's, we contracted the Nairobi governorship instead to a top BANDIT APPRENTICE, Dr. Evans Kidero. Our Doc eventually left the seat a mess the way he had left Mumias Sugar Co., which is where he had done his bandit internship. It was therefore only fit that a populist charlatan and sewer rat, Mbuvi Sonko, whack the Dr.'s elite arse and run him out of top office. Deep lesson to Luo nationalism, or any other nationalism delegating thieves to run Kenya. The only place they run Kenya is aground. Never joke wih the opportunities presented to perform and excel and show the difference. Embrace impunity at your peril if you wanna claim to be on the progressive side, or claim to get Wanjiku her future of bliss, one way or another. Long ago, my debating club had reached the conclusion this was a DEEP WARNING against future foolhardiness and impunity. And this big lesson, I thought then, and called it Kidero's collapse -- he had forced my sister, Tom Mboya's daughter, to make a mess of herself by suing for an injunction to stop her accounts being investigated in conjunction. -When A Mboya doesn't want financial TRANSPARENCY, you know Mount Olympus has blown up!And now the sting in the tale: KALENJIN NATIONALISM IS IN THE SAME BIND NOW! The Onjelo power PLAYBOOK NOW, is that sordid LUO TEMPLATE we discussed. They are trying to hoist top bandit to the presidency. Very mean spirited, cheap and full of contempt for the future of Kenya. They haven't learnt the lesson of Arap Moi. 25 years of Kalenjin bandit darkness, with demented creeps like Nicholas Biwott at the top! There has been no renaissance in Kalenjin thinking since then; no renewal, no enlightenment! -In fact they have two bandits for us to choose from, the lesser Moi and the great Singh Hustler!Eh! the pitfalls of nationalism! They are very funny in abstractia. But in real time in a country near you, even yours, it means you are on a journey to the opposite direction of history. You don't catch up with Korea this way, any Korea for that matter! But then history has its rehearsals: the arrest of Kidero could be the curtain raiser to the arrest of Ruto! Who will call whose bluff first!? phatom wars, phantom menaces!

IS THE TAJ MALL A MARK OF IMPUNITY OR JUST PLAIN STUPIDITY?3 or so years back, I linked up with a high school old buddy who is a well-to-do lawyer in Nairobi environs off the corruption circuit. Not wholly according to me, since she is a divorce lawyer, and some of her best-paying clients, in my opinion, were women raking in from proceeds of plunder, since their estranged husbands were firmly of the lootocratic lineage. These, you know the kind of successful guys who, if you peel off the surface, take you to why so many state parastatals collapsed or, even when enjoying absolute monopoly like Kenya Pipeline or Kenya Power, don't ever seem to be going anywhere but under. Tapeworms in the vitals of Kenya therefore. Well, she just smiled coyly and retorted: I am the girlie Robin Hood then! I legally rob the corruptedly rich men to feed their used and dumped former glory wives!But she wanted me to see was the thing wrong with The Taj. This TAJ is the monstrosity Mall perched at the centre of the roundabout of Outering ROAD and Airport North road, just past Pipeline Estate from Tassia. She insisted we walk the whole of outering road from Quarry, just after Donholm, following the disused and dying railway tracks to Embakasi. At this juncture, to the right of the colonial tracks is the famous Gershom Kirima Estate. Outering ring road here at Kware is very wide. Near 100 metres wide I say! and the new road is greatly spacious double carriage. Then something happens, as the railtracks start to bend coz they cross to the other side and the curve is long: while the buildings on the right handside maintain their straight-line, the estates on the right hand side dive-in with railtrack. By the time Outering road is at Avenue Park and going to Pipeline, it is a classic bottleneck! Nearly a quarter of it has been encroached upon, fenced off, annexed by the private estates! Then comes the TAJ MAL. By any logic its is sprung up right at the centre of a road reserve! And it is not yet down! wholly! And it is quite a story. Absorbing the monstrosity, it wasn't the impunity my lady friend insisted it represented which struck me. No, rather, the stupidity of it. That is the stupidity of an elite business class who, with Nairobi geared toward a megacity -15M in 25 years, couldn't import and internalise the primacy of MOBILITY. Such a megacity must move. Bendy buses and long bendy lightrail crawlers which need big curves at traffic intersections! It becomes very stupid to build malls on road reserves of a city like that, just like the stupidity of building on RIPARIAN lands, so that, come the heavy rains, the megacity is a cesspool of drifting cars and drowning estates. Is that really impunity? Must impunity be necessarily stupid!? I don't think so. That is spoiling the name of impunity. It even looks suicidal behaviour, like a drunken driver at high speed. One outside rational behaviour. MIKE SONKO AND UHURU KENYATTA ARE NOW UNITED IN DEMOLITIONS! This Taj thing must come down. Raila Odinga as roads minister when he began demolitions was way too early. Now the time is ripe! And now is the right time too for the opposite impunity, BRINGING THE BUILDINGS DOWN with the same helter-skelter indifference witnessed in Mau and Kibera evictions. NB:

THE KENYAN PARLIAMENTARIAN AS PUSThey are coagulated rot at a holy site. They are far from honorable anything, no, not even dead human bodies. But we already knew that. So we baptised them Mpigs. But still, since ANIMAL FARM, Orwell's famous satire of Stalin's Communist Russia, Pigs, regardless of their scavengerial and chomping eating habits, have a reputation for intelligence and organisational ferocity. It is therefore an insult to Pigs to associate the brainless Kenyan Parliamentarian with them. To satirize the Kenyan Parliamentarian --a day in the life of a tapeworm part--- will need another animal. One whose gluttony is dedicated to short-termism only. One who is behaviourally suicidal in its feeding habits. The Kenyan parliament has not condemned itself to death, but a particular form of it, and a particular kind of character within it has committed suicide. It's strand has peaked historically and no longer has anywhere to evolve but down. There have will and have emerged forces in Kenya to wipe them off power with a movement called SWAT. Like swatted flies, this kind of Mpig will then fizzle on the ground, broken winged and dazed, seeking new employ. Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga are currently engaged in token war on graft. Their real historical purpose is to sideline the maturity of the radical anti-graft consciousness which has seen ordinary Kenyans at large baying for the blood of the corrupt. The mob can easily work itself into a national movement of lynching some of the bandits hitherto deemed untouchable. To thwart this, the likes of Kidero have to be humiliated a bit in public. But that is another story for another day. But what is the issue TODAY?ThE issue is poisonous sugar. Or the tabled parliamentary report on it. The controlling Hands of the Kartel are all over it. The Kartel made sure none of their names is mentioned. --Ati there is a war going on against corruption!? that is a lullaby for kids. Having written it for the committee to sign, the Sugar Kartel sought to even water it down further by a kind of edit called doctoring. And more, in broad daylight we saw Shameless John Mbadi and Chief Comedian Aden Duale unite in passionate, choral sheepish bleat to exonerate Rotich and Adan! the two cartel frontmen in cabinet! Anyway, this kind of doctoring is institutional. Some will remember it was perpetrated on the Kenyan constitution when it was at the government printers. Who ordered the doctoring, who did it, are yet to be stated publicly! see footnoteAmos Wako will chuckle. When he was Moi's blue-eyed legal magician and a tool against multi-party, there is a section he did audit in secret as section 2A was repealed, after he himself had written the repeals of section 2A. A man of many wiles, Amos! But not of the Abu-Nuwasi mode in court! Amos Wako was a Triple-A rated Alliance Brain. And egendary legal scholar even if he does not boast thet titular prof. which epithets the latest bubble-burst at the AG's, Githu Muigai. But the above description in the DN, how Amos Wako stayed at the top, is, characterwise, known as A WEASEL. The perjorative of which is a deceitful treacherous person. A snake. There is a certain kinds of power structures (state forms) or social constellation at the top which are ever in dire need of weasels. In this case a weasel is a brilliant and supremely able technocrat without a MORAL COMPASS. At its extreme end one remembers the SUPER EFFICIENT Adolf Eichmann of the clockwork logistics to the extermination camps of NAZI Germany. A German lady boasted to me in private: no private or public transport system anywhere in the world has produced a logistician capable of shaming the abilities of Adolf Eichmann. Only the total bombardment of railtracks could create delays for his trains!But I come from the generation of Adolf Eichmann as the ultimate icon of bureaucratic evil! To be honest, I have a suspicion this last --Arendtian quip-- was the inner purpose of Alliance Boys High School back in them days. IE To recruit Triple-A brains and fashion them into genial -- colonial bureaucratic--- tools devoid of own conscious morality. -Of course not everything works the way it is intended, thus Carrey Francis's famous lament: 'what an unctuously pious bunch of creeps pollute my school!'Alliance High would end up producing many a top rebel mind. You might have heard of one, Ngugi gir Joka Thiong'o.Aah, these facebook days, even at a faculty of literature one can't be too sure students ever heard of Ngugi or Orwell, or, for that matter, Okot or Pushkin! But the top of the Kenya's post-colonial mandarinate which covers the Kenyatta and Moi periods of Authoritarian darkness did display a heavy representation of the non-unctuously pious Alliance alumni. It is a bit like the current Kenyan treasury and its dyed-in-woods (of Bretton) Harvard and Yale hot shots! Well, at least we have the Oxfordians, philosopher-moralist John Githong'o and economist David Ndii to rebel, a bit! The weasels of Kenya feel the heat! Well, elsewhere they were teaching the tedious, rigorous but humble science of debunking sophisms! It is called THINKING! So, fellow Kenyan, just for a few seconds because it is a painful exercise for our tribalistically ossified cerebral quarters, lets us think about this issue: THE CASE OF THE IMPORTED CONTAMINATED SUGAR AND THE KENYAN PARLIAMENTParliament can not bring its minds to write any 'i's, leave alone think to put the dots on such. It is a moral farce which collapses any shreds of dignity which still could have been hoped for, from the caucus of bandits. Which right to live, do these things have? These things which have turned Parliament into what Jesus, chasing money doublers and other scum from the temple of Jerusalem, denounced with ungodly language? But, O Christian nation of Kenya, when Mpigs turned parliament into a den of Bahasha changers and money and laundering, so that those who fed Kenyan children mercurised sugar go Scot free, did even one single OPPOSITION MPIG, rise up and overturn the table full of the BAHASHAS unto which ksh.30M had been portioned!? Why not!? Coz they know the handshake is even a bigger Bahasha!? Parliamentary Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives Chairman Kanini Kega explains the contents of the parliamentary report on the sugar scandal at the White Rhino hotel in Nyeri county, August 3, 2018, saying it was not doctored and that there were no underhand dealings in its delivery. [Mose Sammy, Standard] www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2001291340/bribery-claims-as-mps-rescue-rotich-adanOh yee, Justin Muturi, chief rabbi of the Temple! Or should I say speaker of one of the most rotten senates of Old Rome!? Then Roman critics talked of DECADENCE, or decadentio. As a slang it meant 'house of pus', ie a boil ripe. Muturi, I move the motion yours is not a house of honourable members, Nay, it is a boil of pus ripe for an incision to drain out. I am game on debate. But I didn't go to Alliance! I went to Santa Maria Yala! Near Kodhek and Odera Akang'o's! PART TWO: The Bahasha dispensers were Rift Valley ATM's, r eports the Kenyan press. Is that code for William Ruto? From his benevolence to Churches, he is the man who can BAHASHA a whole crowd at a go! MR MONEY BAGS! Here is the moral tussle But Hail the bag of stolen goodies! show me a clergyman whose Church has not sent an appeal to Cash King William, and I will show you Jesus Christ dining with the money changers at the Temple Mount! Wabukala is now at EACC, and is .....? bluff-called! FOOTNOTE

Kafkaesque! IS THE TAJ MALL A MARK OF IMPUNITY OR JUST PLAIN STUPIDITY?3 or so years back, I linked up with a high school old buddy who is a well-to-do lawyer in Nairobi environs off the corruption circuit. Not wholly according to me, since she is a divorce lawyer, and some of her best-paying clients, in my opinion, were women raking in from proceeds of plunder, since their estranged husbands were firmly of the lootocratic lineage. These, you know the kind of successful guys who, if you peel off the surface, take you to why so many state parastatals collapsed or, even when enjoying absolute monopoly like Kenya Pipeline or Kenya Power, don't ever seem to be going anywhere but under. Tapeworms in the vitals of Kenya therefore. Well, she just smiled coyly and retorted: I am the girlie Robin Hood then! I legally rob the corruptedly rich men to feed their used and dumped former glory wives!But she wanted me to see was the thing wrong with The Taj. This TAJ is the monstrosity Mall perched at the centre of the roundabout of Outering ROAD and Airport North road, just past Pipeline Estate from Tassia. She insisted we walk the whole of outering road from Quarry, just after Donholm, following the disused and dying railway tracks to Embakasi. At this juncture, to the right of the colonial tracks is the famous Gershom Kirima Estate. Outering ring road here at Kware is very wide. Near 100 metres wide I say! and the new road is greatly spacious double carriage. Then something happens, as the railtracks start to bend coz they cross to the other side and the curve is long: while the buildings on the right handside maintain their straight-line, the estates on the right hand side dive-in with railtrack. By the time Outering road is at Avenue Park and going to Pipeline, it is a classic bottleneck! Nearly a quarter of it has been encroached upon, fenced off, annexed by the private estates! Then comes the TAJ MAL. By any logic its is sprung up right at the centre of a road reserve! And it is not yet down! wholly! And it is quite a story. Absorbing the monstrosity, it wasn't the impunity my lady friend insisted it represented which struck me. No, rather, the stupidity of it. That is the stupidity of an elite business class who, with Nairobi geared toward a megacity -15M in 25 years, couldn't import and internalise the primacy of MOBILITY. Such a megacity must move. Bendy buses and long bendy lightrail crawlers which need big curves at traffic intersections! It becomes very stupid to build malls on road reserves of a city like that, just like the stupidity of building on RIPARIAN lands, so that, come the heavy rains, the megacity is a cesspool of drifting cars and drowning estates. Is that really impunity? Must impunity be necessarily stupid!? I don't think so. That is spoiling the name of impunity. It even looks suicidal behaviour, like a drunken driver at high speed. One outside rational behaviour. MIKE SONKO AND UHURU KENYATTA ARE NOW UNITED IN DEMOLITIONS! This Taj thing must come down. Raila Odinga as roads minister when he began demolitions was way too early. Now the time is ripe! And now is the right time too for the opposite impunity, BRINGING THE BUILDINGS DOWN with the same helter-skelter indifference witnessed in Mau and Kibera evictions. NB:

STORIES FROM THE SITUATION ROOMS
1. THE WESTON HOTEL AS THE PROVERBIAL ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM
First, who is in the situation room? We are talking the nerve and control centre of the anti-corruption war, the one declared and championed by none other than the commander in chief himself, HE Muigai the Kenyatta!?
Our well, just say three musketeers are, who else but DPP Noordin Haji, DCI George Kinoti, and DGI Philip the Kameru. (This is quite a statement on their formers: Keriako Tobiko, Ndegwa Muhooro and James Gichangi! The LOOK-THE-OTHER WAY GROUP!)
NB: Forget Lawyer Mwangi and ex-spyman Kimani and the rest of that other cast which includes the HANDSHAKE likes of Dr. Adams Oloo and other journeymen, and of course, the token, occasional flower girl.
No, we are talking a real situation room, the room of heat!
I think like this: in this situation room where the DPP, DCI and DGI strands (or organs of state) confluence, each man is anxiously looking behind his back. WHY? Each is calculating thus: suppose I go flat out for William Ruto on, eg, the stolen public land where his illegal and criminal Weston Hotel is in occupation, only for the move to backfire as the political or personal price for Uhuru becomes too much!? Suppose Ouru caves in, backs Ruto and The Hustler becomes president and commander in chief in 2022 after the elections!? -What, pray tell O fates, does he do to me Haji, me Kinoti, me Kameru!?
Wont it be Woe, O Woe be I!? --uuuuuwiiiii! Woe be I Haji! woe be I Kinoti! woe be I Kameru!
Yes, it is a situation room, and every soldier surveying the battlefield knows vindu vichenjanga! The war on corruption could end with a whimper, William Ruto holding all the cards!? No!?
And then!? Each of our musketeers knows the fears of his own heart best!
Currently I know I am not seeing our three musketeers going all out, burning all bridges behind, holding sword in a come-what-may, Horatio, victory or death at the bridge, suicidal if need be stand. So I know they are calculating, weighing escape routes, the odds, working personal plan-B's! Suppose
....
Wherefore I must tell a cultural story.
It begins like this: The name is Mwangi, Bonnyface Mwangi, and you never heard of him. But little Bonny does not squirm like our three musketeers before Ruto's cold gaze. You know every Goliath his David.
Culture has more in store! breeds of firmer forge!
Continued.
