THE STRANDS WHICH MUSTN'T UNITE, FOR FEAR OF A SPARK!Have you seen this? the arrest of ... MUIGAI WA NJOROGE - MBARI YA KIMENDEROYOU thieves of public resources, your generation will be cut short! You oppress us and concurrently train your children to continue oppressing us.Whose toes has he stepped on!? with this The singer was arrested!! Yes he was arrested! Producing music which borders on fuelling tension! (charge sheet!?) And, good news,he was RELEASED WHOLE! That is, this is not Museveni's Uganda where musician-cum-parliamentarian BOBI WINE and a bunch of other MP's have been so ruthlessly beaten to a state where, like in Moi-KANU Kenya or the dark Apartheid days of South Africa, the M7-state doesn't dare a HARBEAS CORPUS! But fair is to say the Ugandan parliamentarians were messed up by the MILITARY, not the Police. The military are under the command of M7's son. The pathologies of political incest fertilised with incompetence and brewing in a pot of insecurites are of course known insanities. And that is Uganda in a nutshell today. In Kenya we know ourselves and are highly articulate on our ills. We are working hard on the healing process. -----I am not telling you about Miguna Miguna of course, and you know why! He is too much! too intelligent, too brave, too articulate, too contemptuous of power, and too big, and therefore arrived too early! the man scares the sh!t out of everbody's balls. Imagine Miguna in Kenya now speaking freely!? and the Weston Hotel is proven to be on stolen public land. What will he say of DPP Haji who can't arrest Ruto and has evidence!? He would prove the Handshake is a joke live on national TV, waving proof of a selective, parochial game! But Ndung'u Wainaina wont be arrested for that. -WHY!? Because it is not art, it is not popular mass art, not direct injection culture. Goebbels does not have to reach for that gun then. It is just a statement of fact, and no more ado, sterile. But the song is a dread! It has a cultural import of meanings far beyond the facts of its conception, production, distribution and consumption. In a few minutes it speaks truths of the hearts which wipe a way a whole, careful ideological construct of a politico-economic system. It is total deligitimation, in the countryside. It mobilises the peasantry, the mass of urban disenfranchised to question their loyalty to their greedy oppressors. And it does so in direct-injection mode! So Goebbels instinctively runs for the gun! Of course Muigai wa Njoroge is beating a well-trodden path! Intellectually the debate was closed long ago, courtesy of the works of Ngugi wa Thiong'o and Maina wa Kinyatti. All that remained was to, as Chairman Ngatia would have it, clean up the residual sh!t! And that is MAPINDUZI TALK! Now the problem is clear: Mapinduzi thought -Ngugi and Kinyatti, Mapinduzi Talk (Ngatia and KRA), and Mapinduzi Songs with refrains (like the Gods of Mathenge, Kimathi and Kaggia will deliver us from these inhumane people), conjure up the image of a siege on the ruling class. And this is the Gikuyu base. These are not your Luo-Gor stone throwers! Yes, Nairobi we have a problem! More Handshakes please, between the greedy!

THE MENTAL STATE OF TOP BANDITSFirst, it will be imperative to understand why not a single of his classmates, the Banditry Incorporated contracted to run Kenya on behalf of International Finance Capital, can call William Ruto's bluff. To this extent, it is important to recall that, in the same week in which the owners of the stolen plot on which the magnificent Weston Hotel stands, categorically stated their desire to reclaim their property from the grabber, William Ruto, is the same week in which Raila Odinga hinted he is ready to work with Ruto for 2022. This is the same Raila whose HANDSHAKE with former-foe Uhuru is suppose to be ANTI-GRAFT and, the mandate of the Mwangi-Kimani secret outfit be believed, working on a NATIONAL ETHOS! Obviously Raila is as confused as a headless chicken, or, old dogs never learning new tricks, he is just another duplicituous, double-timing veteran doomed to regressive games. The body politic of Kenya is a very busy place, it is in fact a corpse teeming with the life of worms. But first Ruto's bluff poker. --We will then use his local formidability yet international uncompetetiveness or decrepitude to explain (without racial theory of the tropical native) why some countries go places while others stay at the bottom, continuously over enlengthened periods. A THOUGHT INFARCT WITHIN THE MIND OF RUTO and WAIGURU The IPSOS SYNOVATE poll seems to have been a bolt. It triggered an epileptic consult in the minds of the two bandits flagged as topping the Kenyan list of infamy. The two bads are William Ruto and Anne Waiguru. Since, they have been foaming mindless and involuntary on the ground, flocking together, their minds spasmic and beaks squeaking in nonsensical overdrive. - INJILI YA SHETANI!RUTO: These are SHETANI POLLS! My wealth is hard work! These are WIVU-TELE people! These are snobs, aristocrats against a pauper-born who rose to equal and surpass them! My success to them is like swallowing razor blade! They want me down, down, down and under! -No way! I am a honest toiler! People, I deserve the top job! In part he joined Waiguru's oldish fit! So there we are, that is the response of the Deputy President! (development arena are of course like fake fertilisers for farmers, at a price; the SGR where Swazuri landscams have inflated the bill 30% forcing Rwanda and Uganda to reconsider; Pipelines which KPC over inflated to kill; KPLC power company corrupt to the last non-existent ampere in the last mile connection! etc etc) But what is!? Is he right, this stuff is all propaganda!? Now, for keeps, William Ruto is a heartbeat away from the presidency of Kenya. His mental abilities to react to shock, and (intellectually) cope with it, is therefore of vital importance to Kenya anyhow. It can even be decisive for her future by default. For example: say he as a teetotaller wakes up one morning to find the K-shilling crashed and Ouru Kenyatta still KO'd in a drunken stupor, in effect a mental corpse. So, how does the Hustler Singh react to a shilling collapse, one severe enough to soon become a banking collapse, threatening a run-away inflation! (Zimbabue, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Ukraine, Turkey! Iran!) (I am never worried about Shabaab terrorist attacks. The army is always ready to kill aimlessly in revenge, repay terror with terror. That is an automated response, no need for thought! The lootenants are on top of it, autonomously!) But the economy is different. It requires mind, and in a crisis, more mind please. Therefore a peak into the mind of possible presidents is always a choice ringside seat. Tantalising. And that is the point here. For what it is worth ----apparently one can commission another poll to claim Kenyans see a noble pair in Ruto and Waiguru------, what reasons do these Kenyans put forth to build the case of Sir William and Lady Anne as the King and Queen of graft respectively!?How misguided, misperceived, misinformed and gullible are these Kenyans to this propaganda-generated SHETANI talk!? so said? Consider the YK'92 episode. This is the event which made the group consisting of the likes of Jirong'o, Ruto, Nyamweya, Kigen and co. Is it arguable as an economic crime, the Goldenberg funding inclusive? Have Kenyan economists, for instance, written thesis detailing the economic cost to the nation of this Arap-Moi-Kanu banditry folly!?(I for one is aware of studies on it, but not by Kenyan authors! But public domain sources are a wealth of insights!) ---SONS OF FORTUNE: GOLDENBERG? A Kenyan writes in his testamonial But, a history of financial scams in Kenya is not the history of William Ruto. And Kenyans know this. But I am afraid Ruto's response shows a mindset captive to denial. Kenyans are not misinformed. They know Ruto is a Big Thief, and they are saying so when asked. Openly. Were Kenyans to be asked who they think is the MOST EVIL, it is possible the answer would even be a greater shocker: possibly Mama Ngina Kenyatta, because of her alleged association with some cartel lords of the IMPORTED POISONED sugar. The public explanation is, .... this Elephant Mother association is why NOBODY is being followed up seriously for this terrorist ----mass poisoning---- attack on the Kenyan population.Of course Ruto can become Prezzo, PORK, The world is full of presidential thieves, and possibly that is why the world is such a corrupted mess. --WHY DO SOME COUNTRIES OUT PERFORM OTHERS? Because they generate better, more scientific responses to problems. And they then implement more rational, more adequately tailored material solutions to the same. But that means first a correct appreciation of reality. It means facing up to it and not denying it. Calling a spade a spade. Parasites branding themselves self-made, toiler own sweat made men, is an example of a stupid denial of reality which, unable to define work, negates the true fuel of the economy and the nation: labour productivity.
NB: there is a long list of mega corruption scandals, and they enmesh the who is who in the country. --Anglo-Leasing, Treasury Errors, Eurobond, NHIF, NSSF, SGR, NCPB, KRA
.. It is true thieves can gang up to sacrifice one of their own out of necessity, but that is only when the people, the mob, is neutral. Kenyans wont be neutral. They are likely to say: all thieves go down, or OUR THIEF stays! No double standards! This should be Ruto's line of best defence! But it involves a feat in honesty and confession as I said earlier! a dangerous mea culpa! Otherwise denying he is a thief while it is so easy to prove reduces his mindset to that of an infant. And the last thing the Kenyan shilling needs when the DEBT CRUNCH COMES, is an infant mind at Ikulu! That would be a total debt colony! Ouru is going to DC to succumb to the Bechtel lobby!

THE MENTAL STATE OF TOP BANDITS 22B: THE RELIGIOUS COVER OF THE LIKES OF TOP BANDITS Why they are in Church every other weekend is good food for thought. Why the priesthood gives them such a high table, red-carpet treatment is another. Blessings are for sale, and the more the loot, the closer the ears of God, and God give a sh!t about the source of the cash! There is a kind of church which has no place for the poor! Our cannibal elite are regulars at such posh churches, yeah, see them shine in the full glare of publicity, donating and extolling their piety, while political reality in Kenya is that of a rotten elite, excelling in their dark arts. -- They feed the population dirty food for a tidy profit. Their greed thus (to leave out the myriad financial frauds at the tax payers) is a new depth in the well-known pathology of stagnation. It is a thought therefore, that their religiosity is not just Machiavellian gimmickry, but that, somewhere in their once human core, a vague sense of guilt permeates the residues of their oathed human selfs. They perceive, albeit dimly (like sheep headed for the manger may show unrest at the abattoir yard), that there is need to take the last sacrament and surrender to the Lord's pity. For no human will and can forgive their bestiality. Lord, I have been a sinner Lord, if I am to be a gonna Let it be with a tranquiliser!Deliberately feeding Kenyans poison -- mercury-laced sugar, impure cooking oils, moulded rice, substandard drugs, etc etc, is deep regime bestiality, but not for diseased fun like at the Sadistic Castle of The Marquis. Ours is the subconscious of genocide for profit. No, it is more than a genocide mentality, it is contemplating the total eradication of a population, a slow-motion holocaust. Uhuru Kenyatta, William Ruto, Raila Odinga and the rest of the bandits in their caravan of doom, CAN NOT CLEARLY, intellectually import this meaning of their POISONOUS regime, but, instinctively, like all animals have an in-built capacity to reject poisonous food, the top bandits have an inkling of the horror they have perpetrated. Therefore they wander around with a HALO of GUILT around their torsos, and souls. But most importantly, they are possessed of a vague fear, that out there, in angry Kenya, abused Kenya, disrespected and degraded, lied to and manipulated cheaply every election day, there exists and is ready to surface, the clarity of mind and steel of purpose capable of condemning them for this single act of mass poisoning. And I mean to the gallows without even the benefit of a show-trial! There is instinctive fear at the top. The kind of existential fear which leads to religious surrender. And this mode, I propose, is very far from the cynical playbook of the ancient Italian political wit, Niccolo M. (I assure you when Ruto broke down to cry in Church that day, he wasn't obeying his in-house Niccolo-schooled PR-guru!) Our rotten leaders jumping up and down in Church every weekend seeking God, therefore, are arguably those frogs jumping in broad daylight because there is something slithering after their lives. They are seeking salvation any which way. YET KEEPING IT SIMPLER Let us be Machiavellian and just say the displayed godliness is Machiavellian. This is less dark than the above reading: fugitive fear. We need some palatable cheer these days of poisonous grub on sale everywhere. William Ruto for instance is a born-again Christian, that is, on the surface of it, your relatively holy man. Kenya being that Christian voter, a God-fearing man is then one of the people too. Why did deeper! But trouble starts almost immediately. (And I don't mean Kenyans fingering a god-fearing man for being the most corrupt! That, folks, is just a national sense of humour! Ipsos polls are always jokes!) The Church is big business in Kenya. And big business in Kenya for fact, is Big corruption. But importantly, The Church --I wont bother with Islam--- is a dealer in fictitious solutions to material problems. That is why industrialisation, material solutions to material problems, under the flagship of a scientific insurrection, had to come with secularism: Remove the State from the claws of the Clergy. That was the industrial revolution led by the historical bourgeoisie, three centuries ago for the first. Today, one needs a relatively ignorant populace to do that classic Machiavelli church thing, IE, man of God, is a man of the people. The bourgeoisie when they removed the Pope from world power, said: a man of God is good, if he supports our profit motive and orders labour to obey capital without question. Thus the bourgeoisie domesticated the Church and weaponised it for own purposes, here on Earth. Heaven? The bourgeoisie, just like atheists, care sh!t about heaven after death. If they did, they wouldn't have exterminated half the human species across the globe in operation COLONIALISM AND IMPERIALISM! Just for profit! The point therefore is made, that the pathologically greedy Kenyan ruling class, truly confused and not very mature, can easily be tricked by others into complicity in the extermination of Kenyans, all for some small profit for themselves --(ksh. 10k for parliamentarians!). And the ignorant population, assumed witless under the opiate of religion, praises them for saviours. God, surely is good! (but another joke, Kenyans call their parliament a pig-sty! Mpigs breed cheap!) But reality is harsh and relentless. The entropic dynamics of social transformation, especially in countries lagging behind in industrialisation like ours, are such that, increased urbanisation in squalor, for instance, precipitate an ever correcting counter-force. Not even God and The Church provide a momentary relief from the brutality of urban squalor. It is a jungle, and in a jungle, a moment of illusion, carelessness or flight from reality, is to be the meal for another predator. A desperate people can call the bluff of hell. And even the middle class leavy under the perpetual fear of ... is it called a MINSKY MOMENT? (whent their debts are called in and they crash out!) This is why, no sooner had the state-rented Chief Justice David Maraga offered the Bible to Uhuruto to swear themselves in as duly elected presidents of Kenya, than another BANDIA CEREMONY took place elsewhere in the same city, starring the the peoples sponsored duo of Miguna Miguna and TJ Kajwang' as the bandia CJ's. One can also say, culturally speaking, MM and TJ were cult priests in the order of Resistance. The ever trigger-happy police held fire. And the Jubilee AG, Githu Muigai, didn't throw the book of TREASON at the Bandia President, Amollo Tinga.Why!? Why such a public rendition of state comedy in Nairobi!? We all know why! Wrong move and Kenya would collapse! Farce as a historical safety valve, you have to recognise it and enjoy, even if through bitten. God wasn't going to bestow legitimacy upon thieves, no, not even after an extra mass murder in the center of Nairobi. Kalongolongoman Wafula Chebukati had made a bloody mess of himself and his body, The IEBC, and for two presidential elections in one year, a three month timespan so to be specific, Chebukati and Chiloba hadn't resolved a fundamental question: - -how much murderous rigging in the presidential tally can Kenya take and remain whole!?And worse, the rotting cadaver of Chris Musando lay there in the center of the press room, draped in national colours! AAAAAAH, it continued to yell everytime Chebukati opened his mouth to speak lies to the nation! Being in Church every Sunday, going by the book of Machiavelli, hasn't and wont drive away this question. And with it this is the deeper question: What is the point of spending all that money and time on rigged elections!? A whole year of the economic life of a nation held hostage by the tensions of greedy scum in campaigns? If you think very carefully about that question, it will make you nervous. Kenya is not the first country which has faced it, or faced the fundamental issue: why waste scarce resources on a stupidity!? Why not, either do it right, or forget it?Save money and invest it more fruitfully!? One can't waste scarce resources forever. Meaningless rituals costing the Earth, die. They all become the carcass of White Elephants, some of them dead republics like the four of France and 10 of Nigeria! No God can proof a society against the consequences of economic stupidity, Eg deliberate waste. Corruption is such a massive waste. And 33% of Kenyans allegedly think William Ruto and Anne Waiguru are, well, shetani people! What a sense of humor! But beneath is a warning. Before long, the Roman crowd will be baying for the Emperor to thumb down the Kings of Graft, or himself be thumbed down by the mob. Will IPSOS SYNOVATE dare ask the question!? Haji to Ouru: should I go for Ruto, for the kill!?Ouru: No, he has an insurance policy! Even if it is an odious debt! But it remains the economy stupid!

THE SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION OF AFRICA AND BANDIT WANNABE PRESIDENTSLet me put a certain footnote, before I tackle the story of the African Lions feeling their balls, in the race to be the LION KING! And later, The World King! Ama that is unthinkable!? (if it is for Kenyans, I just do a Luo-Pivot Post where it would be preconcluded!) THE CRISIS OF LION SUCCESS Ethiopia is 100M people, Nigeria double that and a half. Congo in success, even marginal success, is of course too terrifying to contemplate. Were DRC's potential to be realised even in half, in two decades, Congo would be a country more awesome in output than Japan! (and a less scary debt/gdp ratio of the same!) AFRICA RISING In the narrative of Africa rising, there is this other factor which needs a delicate think. It is the accompanying monumental social transformation. For some, this upsurge has been extremely for the better, for many for the worse. Key is that the TURBO growth has not absorbed surplus (and especially youthful) labour at an industrial rate and scale. While aggregate economic circumstance have undergone historic, upward change, social imbalance (as an unattended consequence) has been profound. This has been a dangerous exercise in negligence. And it has been, and will be costly, politically. Too much youth are like litter by the wayside, or dumped refuse in the sprawling urbans slums of roaring economies so said. For cheap they die in the Sahara and Mediterranean Sea, seeking for keep elsewhere. A delicate think. The story of African Lions has been the story of, well, through the eyes of conservative economics, spectacular growth rates, a rise like a phoenix. Our giant neighbour to the North, Ethiopia, posted 10% growth rates per annum for over 15 years. That, by conservative economics, is a METEORIC rise! (By real economics it means Ethiopia should have 'EMERGED' in the past decade!) But, by any measure, that figure -----where originally there was stagnation, which means starting from a zero growth rate---- implies a social set-up so radically changed, there must be MODERNISED POLITICAL STRUCTURES to cope with the new situation. If we agree consciousness springs from material reality, it means four years into the AUTOCRATIC regimes which initiated these METEORIC growth rates but stayed adminstratively rigid, the political structures mediating the newly generated conflicts became essentially moribund: theey become practically outdated and already form perhaps the biggest danger to further growth. --This is to say as (courtesy of the pace of change) new forces are unleashed, and these new forces seek social manifestation and, highly assertive, this dynamic runs into the 'political glass ceiling' of autocratic, narrow and barely post-colonial top-down mental infrastructures, a bomb starts to tick below. Because the top is too primitive, and the corrupt 'pretender enlightened despots' are caught in a warp, there could be surprise active volcano situation. These lionised but antic despots usually run out-moded structures wearing the masks of liberal democracy. And where they have the structures of modernity, these are mute and sham and, yeah, corruption negated. The ECONOMIC lions include Kenya, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Cote d'Voire, DRC, Angola. Botswana has always been a different statistic. South Africa too, unique. The danger of new aggressive social forces no longer containable within a backward-or-stunted political dispensation, is well known. Vast amounts of human, emotional resources, Social energy, organisation and Capital is REDEPLOYED, necessarily channelled into political struggle instead of economic, educational, and technological avenues. The rapidly growing economy runs into a political storm, and this Bcomes the national priority. As it must. NB: 1. (Apartheid South Africa was rapidly industrialising. But its barbaric model made it an enemy of the majority. Consequently the Biggest Agenda for the (Black excluded) Majority became LIBERATION. Aggregate statistics theif foot! The best and brightest of black human capital was channelled toward this HOLY MISSION: freedom! AMANDLA! 2. Ho Chi Min of Vietnam laughed during an interview. He had explained he understood that French colonialism was as good as dead. It was the ARRIVED power, The USA, which would inherit French IndoChina and stay to fight! -- 'How will you fight this awesome SuperPower, you peasant war-torn land, too poor to buy even asprin!? asked the American. That was when Uncle Ho laughed: He said. 'For the next 70 years, Vietnam will not produce Nobel Price winners in Chemistry, Physics and what have you's like the fancy USA. But the best and brightest of our land will excel in disciplines which the enemy will encounter in the battlefield, daily, every hour, every second! We will show genius if need be, in the defence of our land and the fight for our freedom. It will be total mobilisation of our mental resources to defeat the super-power. And we will prevail!' And he laughed a laugh which discomfitured the American journalist.) But the point is taken: solving the political problem can be very costly, but it first must be done. 3. Donald Trump and his Kushner son in law have offered billions in economic lift-off (or bribes?) if the Palestinians forego their struggle for nation-hood and endorse their perpetual subjugation as colonial citizens to the racist zionism running Israel. Trump and co will be surprised what price even a small people will pay for their FREEDOM and dignity and retention of their humanity.) So the rising Africa might encounter this small problem in some other variation: the freedom drive overriding greed, overriding petty bribery of some colourful statistics. Think of Paulo Kagame's Rwanda. This may be my African Singapore, but, African ethnic relations considered in the centrifugal mix with class politics and generational conflicts, the moth has grown wings and must fly now to test its durability in the real competitive world, lest it die within the shell, rotted away, the metamorphisis stalled. In Angola, the corruption of Dos Santos and his family became the national obsession if not pathology. MPLA crackdown on the opposition only led to a palace coup. Veteran insider and party apparatchik, Joao Lourenco, emerged the bandit's compromise. For truth, the Dos Santos clique were tethering Angola to a dark age it socially had passed. it is still all very feudal really, but, nominally, the forced resignation of the long senile Dos Santos after a near 40 years at the helm is a giant step for Angola. In the same way ---incestuous bandit dances at the top, The Croc who replaced Mugabe next door in Zimbabwe is still more of the old than the new. But the truth is these fossils will be forced to look more ahead than back. They are old men leading countries prevalently of youths, average age below 30 years. In Museveni's Uganda, 70% were born after his first term! They think Old Granny should be long retired to enjoy his Longhorns in Ankole Land. But already politically senile, we watch M7 repeat the Mugabe mistake. I doubt there is a soul in Uganda who doubts M7 is now an antic act. In Ethiopia --which is the Leading Lion according the statistics of growth, the Old Empire in rapid change was all but breaking up. Everybody wanted to go their way -- daily riots in AmharaLand, Oromiya, Somali-Ogaden. Reason? They had overgrown the TPLF straight jacket. They wanted Free, for real. If impossible together, then apart, like went warlike Eritrea. The writing was on the wall. The Tigray steel-cored regime in Addis Ababa had to take a step back, political renew the way Ethiopia is governed, or Ethiopian peoples would cease to co-exist in a unitary state. (break up like the Soviet Union!) This is the historical necessity behind the dazzling, new flashy Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Aby Ahmed, who replaced the old party robot, Hailemariam Desalegn. Aby is a real rainbow kid, half everything, even half Christian half Muslim! But will his promised half reforms be enough to mediate the arisen conflicts!? 10% growth rate for a decade is, in Africa, nothing short of a revolutionary change. Superficial reforms may not be able to appease the social forces unleashed by that INDUSTRIALISATION RATE statistic! Flasy Aby, has the dance of his life to script! IS THE BOURGEOIS STATE ALREADY HISTORICALLY MORIBUND? [Towards a fully functional bourgeoisie state, with all its ancient trappings, or, classical politicology revisited, toward a POST, post-colonial remnant of a hollowed-out bourgeoisie state? But even then, the historical bourgeoisie state itself may now all be but a remnant of a mercantilist capital past, and that is why monopoly finance, flash capital treats it with the contempt it deserves! This would hint the modernisation of the African RISING state may need to be post-bourgeoisie! Trouble is that is an agenda beyond the scope of a localised banditry! --a definition of the limitation of ORUDO THE LOCAL GIRL will suffice here!]##### But all this long story I tell,comes back to our shores, Kenya. WE are infested with a local bandit class too! Orudo the local girl who localises her locality within the local area, so that ..... We are officially still a Lion. Ever since the GCG fix of Raila and Kibaki have we rarely dipped below 6% per annum (growth rate). That, and the new figure after the GDP was rebased, conservative economics speaking, is, as Donald Trump would purse his lips, H-HUUUUUGE! And that, is our Big problem, and soon, I will say, top-bandit Ruto's top problem. Sir William being the billed shoe-in President. Notice, that despite the wasteful corruption perpetrated by her bandit elite, Kenya has been resilient. It states for a fact the great potential and power of the Kenyan people. It also beggars a ruthlessly competent leadership. 15% real growth rate per annum would be a peace of cake. Figure that out. Leave the rebase statistics for a moment, those are fake blurb statistics! But with the rebase, lets be positive, we are already a middle income country. Comparable to Turkey. However, a walk through the so-called informal settlements around Nairobi will sober one on that middle income bit. But let us keep positive this Sunday. Kenyan is therefore ruthlessly resilient despite an outmoded political bandit class doing its best to defeat her national purpose. Kenya is ON despite an epidemic of vermin at her vitals ----parliament colonised by rascals, the judiciary inhabited by cartel pawns, the banking barons inebriated with greed, and the vote-counting arithmatic infidels running amok! A note of caution on moribund political systems: a good system is as good as the implementation. Most countries anywhere have renaissance facades of a constitution, like our own 2010 thingy, but on implementation they stay stone-age. Most countries anywhere have, on paper, good infrastructure to manage and organise elections for instance. Elections are best understood as A LOW-COST power-change operation of CONFLICT RESOLUTION, but the reality pre-determined results and corruption renders this methodology void. This (predetermination of resultis) is called rigging. It reduces the election to a CONFLICT ESCALATION process instead. And that, will always mean political instability, which in turn means economic uncertainty. Then do the lions start to faulter, their roars thinning out. Corruption can be that debilitating. Kenya, we are now OFFICIALLY in the PERMANENT CAMPAIGN MODES! In other words it is politics 24/7 years on end. That means, as far as the presidential seat is concerned, we have failed to author a CONFLICT RESOLUTION MODUS, failed to institute a de-escalation protocol. This means this problem is now systemic, yet it will have to be resolved before the KENYAN LION can become a true King of the Savannah, and gallop even beyond. Ama!? So 2022 is a key date in this respect: can we understand the social forces in operation, the social forces released by the economic performance of the post Arap Moi boom, unleashed by the CHINA-EXIM bank Credit boom? Can we decode them true and harness a model to manage the various desperate interests such that the NATIONAL EFFORT goes toward ECONOMIC productivity, and not political instability? The tension and potential chaos over who becomes president is historically silly. For another rigged election may just be the last straw that went through the camel's back. And we are human enough to be very silly. But it would be stretching matters to rely on the intellectual benevolence of bandits to end banditry! So I think it is seat belts, turbulence ahead. Just as Museveni and Kagame are convinced they are indispensable, so too the top bandits of Kenya in their self-righteousness and entitlement are. And that, is conflict escalation. But happily we are a neo-colony. Bechtel six-lanes vs. SGR Mombasa Nairobi! Trump and Xi JinPin are too concerned with our fate to have us go to the dogs, of war! They rather want us tethered, to the slavery of debt, milked until death do us free! Now, William Ruto Singh, Mr. Shoe-in President, show mind, on these, or RETIRE before you are retired, forcefully. WHO IS LAME DUCK, DEAD DUCK, QUACKING DUCK, NO DUCK? NB: I am operating from the premise Ouru Kenyatta is already too lame-duck. He knows it. That is why he has recruited Raila to prop him up some. With Murkomem and Duale, URP-Ruto hit men, controlling Jubilee government busines in senate and parliament, who is officially running Kenya!?

WHEN TWO CORPSES FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE, IT STINKSI am referring to William Ruto and Raila Odinga, the two huge national cadavers polluting the political landscape. It is a macabre dance we are watching, dead minds in busy bodies. It is as if The Fates are amusing themselves playing practical jokes on us trusting mortals. May be them Fates reckon we neither can differentiate live from dead thoughts, nor the living from dead minds, nor the future from the past, nor dark from light! in other words, that we, the common citizens of the land, are neither much mentally alive nor alert if so. But meseems the fates would underestimate Wanjiku&Co badly, were that to be their game. For I am sure the public at large already have a premonition; that, call them Gog and Magog, but Raila and Ruto are going through their last rigor mortis kicks in public. Magog and Gog united to whip their minions to rig the parliamentary vote on VAT, the finance bill 2018 amendment. That was last week. They united to see in it a victory and celebration of parliamentary democracy. And they united in a final boast, on how good paying these exorbitant, to-be-stolen taxes is good for us. They united to lecture, that taxing the Kenyan people to starvation is good for the economy, future profitability and credit credibility. It is, behold, a stunning display of comradeship when it comes to expropriating Kenyans for the benefit of the selfish Oligarchic and kleptocratic plunder of state monies. Then, such business accomplished as a colonial power would have her auxilliary locals do, come the weekend, Gog and Magog switch on their customary act for the gallery. They turn around and re-discover some manufactured hostility with which to put up a show of animosity, with which to divide and continue to rule. And with this tarttered game, they believe they can pull off fooling the mass, once over again, and perpetuate themselves on top. This silly game is to distract from the dire issue at hand: this is income disparity, but it can be summarised as the DISINVESTMENT in the economy, chiefly via the scorch-earth rate of DEBT REPAYMENT AND SERVICING. Added to --after substracting the corrpution cut--- the dense and endless layers of parasitic bureaucracy soaking up a huge bill in recurrent expenditure, what remains for actual productive deployment is too paltry even for a non-ambitious feudal, endlessly stagnant paradise. Gog and Magog, and other monsters of looting, scare to death of this topic. And of course this is why Miguna Miguna is persona no grata! NRMke had touched a cord. In the Gog and Magog clash, one called the other a CONMAN, the other responded, PICK-POCKET! they know well themselves, don't they! But who is being fooled? Who in the foul-aired Earth was ever fooled by the stench of rotting cadavers!? May be the cadavers themselves! What has happened, is the economic crisis of debt has matured faster. That forces measures to foot. There is nowhere to hide. In one flash Ruto and Raila are revealed to be TWINS who have no thinking to cope with the crisis except
.. RIGGING TO THWART THE POPULAR WILL -- hail Duale Hail Mbadi!. That is exactly what colonialism and dictatorship is all about: thwarting the popular will. Stealing from the people. History has only one option to this situation: resistance. ALUTA! Raila and Ruto are dead things walking. They are ZOMBIES, in the sense of they are colonial incarnations, but they have been having a run of fun in MIMICRY. Yaani, they have been mimicking prophets of the future while they are shells or phantoms from Africa's dead past!Ayawo go depe in nyawawa! ---yaani, shetani ashindue!

THE CORPSES RAILA AND RUTO, GHOSTS DEMANDING A RE-BURIAL!Let us negotiate some figures. These to verify Gog and Magog are evil spirits, A legacy of incomplete burial rites in the past. You doubtlessly have knowledge of those scary African stories where, if you do not seal the grave properly, the ghosts of the dead seep out to come and demand their helping, with angry hand. The failure to cement chapter six, the integrity clause in the constitution; the failure to embed integrity in the body politic of the land and, consequently, have it sieve leaders to the top, is an example of such a HOLE through which the shells of of the dead have wormed themselves back, to come and plunder and mock the living! ---For truly! truly! I say unto you: had the Great Hope of National, progressive moral revival, Him Dr. Wily Mutunga, fulfilled his historical promise as The Seer of The Land, risen to his fate as a Great Legal Guide ---at that time this contentious issue became before his desk as the Chief Justice, then, and for sooth then, would these dead-headed things have stayed in the underworld of Kenyan politics! locked forever in the book of the dead! But as it is, Mutunga was no Ghostbuster, was a fake exorcist, was a poor grave mason, was nothing but a menial mind, wherefore all the DEAD of the KANU REGIME resurfaced as ZOMBIES in a perfect mimicry of the healthy! Da-mn! now we divine the omens for signs of ghostbusters! da-mn! medicine men and their beads on goatskin! THE TERRIBLE DATA The best figure to look at, is the so-called INFRASTRUCTURE GAP OF AFRICA. And then, to ponder at depth when we narrow it down, or quantify it for Kenya. In Kenya it will be instructive FOR THE MOMENT to concentrate just on one illustrative aspect, POWER, ELECTRICAL POWER. What is the power-gap in Kenya? what is the power-gap as a subset of the Infrastructure gap!? Before that, an abstract: THE CONTINENTAL FIGURE, $170bn/annum MINIMAL!These figures are minimums. But as Kenya is today, to achieve them, already looks a mirage. Because we are REPAYING DEBTS! And that is Raila and Ruto United! And the minimum, UN minimum, you know how minimum the UN standards are! I remember an Asian commentator relishing the so-called ASIAN CENTURY coming next after the West's 5 centuries! He said: these UN aims, guidelines, are so minimal as to be stupid. That document can not be taken seriously in Asia. It is stuff for those countries totally bereft of ambition! Tembea uone! This is the global context in which two leading Kenyan politicians are arguing about a Handshake. So I say there are cadavers. Angry shells of the dead crying for a second, firmer burial! But if Kenya be one of those nations totally bereft of ambition and content to go nowhere, which I doubt, then lets have the cadavers reign some more!

THE KALENJIN NATIONALIST DILEMMA REVISITED
It is not really a specific Kalenjin nationalist nightmare, but the Kaleos of today form a perfect guinea-pig invite for an in-depth!
So shall we indulge them!
To be sure, all 'tribal' nationalisms of Kenya are captained by the bandit class. This top layer of filth is also known as a kleptocratcy. They are state parasites, a predator bureaucracy, a commission bourgeoisie, or, sticking to the plane old classical term, a COMPRADOR. Running a corrupt regime is their historical speciality. That is why we call our parliamentarians Mpigs. Betraying the peoples dreams, their historical calling.
So what is this publicised Kalenjin nationalist dilemma today?
Yes, the die-hard core is minded and determined to delegate a rotten comprador chieftain the highest office in the land -the presidency. And that in the face of a national consciousness, shifting away from corruption, following a continental PEOPLES trend.
The decommissioning of Jacob Zuma by the (Malema-scared) ANC, then Jacob's subsequent fall from the presidency, is a forensic case at the continental level. A distant marker of the changing winds from the pressure below. The tribulations of the young Ethiopian next door are also a keen warning.
The top Kalenjin candidate to the presidency, the frontrunner, is of course the DP William Ruto. The problem is his 'economic, business' CV. One of his nom-de-guerres is Singh!
Before I continue, let me halt to make an extra serious point.
Earlier on, on the public unavailability of any intellectual work from the secret service which can be nationally interrogated, I said;
As I write this, there are claims and counter claims about the situation at the Kenya Ports Authority. This is about the status of their debt to China. Could it be the Sri-Lanka template?. Sri-Lanka surrendered sovereignty over one of her ports to China after failing her debt obligations.
For Kenya and Mombasa, Nobody knows. Neither does the Handshake. Neither does the Singh! And worst, neither does Patrick CBK Njoroge!
The second point isBasically what does it tell you about your finances when you force your wife to surrender the kitchen budget?
Think of a Donald Trump formulation!
Meanwhile Bullish markets? they know something we don't!? On top of it came the whisper from the IMF which enraged CBK Njoroge to an unprecedented spat with his former bosses. The IMF whispered to the markets, the Kenya shilling is overvalued! That our real foreign reserves are only diaspora remittance; the rest are China subsidy!
Njoroge lost his temper! Of course he would. Some will remember what happened to the British Pound under the onslaught of George Soros! John Major was the premier then, Lamont the chancellor Exq. Njoroge is understandably scared some speculator could call the shillings bluff, just to find out how nervous it is, and make a killing! --or, in these days of a global trade war, ferret out how much priority China-Exim has invested in the shilling!
There is no national politician on message on these issues. No, not even the Handshake duo would know what I am talking about!
But lets forget about the risk of a sudden devaluation of the Kenya shilling; lets go back to lighter stuff.
VELVET DIVORCE OR ACRIMONY?
By all accounts, the nation is fed up with corruption. But not entirely with corrupt politicians! It is like when your wife is fed up with you but now with your money; or your are fed up with her but not with her domestic services!
The marriage just muddles on!
But there is a shifting focus, a pivotal turbulence to the realisation that to be fed up with corruption is to be fed up with corrupt politicians. Yet Kalenjin -comprador--- nationalism is adamant to hoist pure rot the pinnacle. No concession to the new winds!
This must be a very delicate operation.
The risks involved can not be understated. It is essentially a run against the current of history. (but there is safety in numbers: all comprador nationalisms are welded to rotten candidates, and these are the dominator's!)
But we all witnessed that self-conscious joke by the president in Kisumu. He all but invited Kenyans to a lynching party on who is who in (local or national) government, cabinet, parastatal, you name it, -up to the whole tenderpreneural looting complex!
So there is obvious nervousness at the top. The filth is aware of its dirt. --Just like the treasury is aware of its cash-crunch, structural.
RISING PRESSURE IN THE KITCHEN
Anyway there are already tell-tale signs William Ruto himself is mentally cracking. In his recent, little-couched assault on Raila, the fresh PHD from Chiromo revealed a thought-artefact in his political intellect. But it needs a clinical read to detect this pathology.
As late as December 17 2018, DP Ruto flogged and hawked the dead narrative, that the presidential elections of 2017 were free and fair. We had two of course, costing the Sun, delivering darkness!
For a moment I thought DP Ruto was running the well-known Goebellian dictum: the lie must be so outrageous it shocks the mass into belief!
But it is too late.
Parroting the lie of a free-and-fair 2017 presidential election today, either the first rigged-and-nullified-one, or the repeat (both-rigged-and-boycotted one), is just the unconscious self-mockery of the shallowness of the parrot's mind.
There is no Goebellian sense in it. Just desperate stupidity.
NEXT
THE ROT AT THE IEABC, CHEBUKATI AND CHILOBA AS UTTER SCUM!

NEXT
THE ROT AT THE IEABC, CHEBUKATI AND CHILOBA AS UTTER SCUM! THE ROT AT THE IEBC, CHEBUKATI AND CHILOBA AS CARTEL LOOPS.A FOOTNOTE, We now have proof from their own mouths. They have publicly confessed they were and are utter scum. Our Xtian hearts must now forgive and let bygones be bygones. That is definitely one option. There is another, which we will handle later. Handling that option now would be to dampen the spirits of of Noel. But from the start, as we witnessed the chicanery which was the vetting process, we perceived the hand of the Kartel running the show. There was a barely concealed, corrupted horsetrading between the political factions, and the subsequent exercise of the presidential prerogative to appoint not the best, crowned the farce and sealed the fate of the elections. And set the stage for the historic KALONGOLONGO or mock-oath of January 30th 2018. More about that make-believe terminology later. ON DEFENDING THE INDEFENSIBLEIn the last fortnight, caskets of forensic evidence has tumbled out of the cupboards of the IEBC. It has been a haunting! Wafula Chebukati and Ezra Chiloba, and the rest of the cartel-compromised cast, have, before various panels and investigative commissions, adduced conclusive evidence as to the scam which was (and still is) the IEBC they ran. A taste Here is a taste of the auto-cannibalisation as a bit of the mob's bay permeates the senate and forces Rome to take note The honour among thieves, is truly what history says it is! Rose Akombe bore as much as she could, then fled! www.nation.co.ke/news/Law-firm-linked-to-Chebukati-got-IEBC-tenders/1056-4395314-vurklc/index.html What is a PRE-QUALIFICATION in an advertised tender!? Great instrument for connected companies. It is the insiders' track. Thinking of regular stock market criminal scandals. To audit is to follow the money. We can see to which and whose pockets are lined with Wanjiku's toil and sweat. What we can't see, is retribution. What we can't see at the top is a resolve to address this criminology. What we see is a PR gimmick orchestrated by a pressurised board of governors. This to buy themselves more looting room. This self-deception at the top creates a wonderful opportunity for spoilers and spoiler events. Watch out for a few surprises as the heat revs up from below. Meanwhile this comical relief. The IEBC is currently financially constrained. But Chebukati is a lawyer, and you know the Irish sayings about such. The IEBC as a MILKING STATION for connected Nairobi law firms. It is a scam and we know it. We know our GDP, labour productivity, and how long it takes the average Kenyan to earn 100K, let alone a million ksh! But that is the real end of the economy. There is this by the IEBC. -It is Wanjiku's money being laundered and squandered. Open and shut case! And then enter Man Noordin Haji! That is the DPP making motions at raising a sword on behalf of Wanjiku! And Behold! There are no top lawyers in town to answer his call! Or may be you pay peanuts you get monkeys!? No I don't think Wanjiku is that stingy! If Wanjiku can afford a lawyer 3M/day for a fortnight to defend a rotten election, there is no shortage of cash then. If there is a shortage, it is of something else. May be chapter six stuff for starters! Lets take a calculate guess at what this shortage is. After all, we know our country! When DPP Haji managed to procure a QC to help him out, surprise surprise, none other than the Attorney General of Kenya moved to curtail the jurisdiction of the QC! I call it the IMPI! The Judiciary and the Bureaucracy Shakazuluring Wanjiku down. Pinning her for the kill in a classic military-like operation. FOOTNOTE Now, it is on the strength of rotten institutions like this IEBC that our fresh Chiromo Phd trusts, when he fires salvos at The Handshake! And he is aiming to be president of a land with a deficit-inebrieted treaury! Well, it remains the economy stupid. WHEN NATIONAL CANONS ONLY LOAD BLANCS Fraud! Fraud in every book. But not a single booking Crimes, Crimes at every office. But not a single conviction! See there, the silhouette of a rat-catcher crowds the horizon. The tenderpreneurial rats show signs of increased agitation; the new MIAUW from the public gallery strikes a sinister tone Fangs, Fangs everywhere! Hear the Kenyan mob sense a kill And with a mixed heart wonders Wanjiku whether to dance in advance Or ponder the cautionary note history strikes at every dawn of a new era!End footnote.

WHERE'S THE ACHILLES HEEL OF THE KALENJIN COMPRADOR?
It is either Moi or Ruto. But the Kartel must see the sense in organising a Handshake between the two, Gideon and William. This parley is a necessity, because there is strong murmuring from below, citing an internal Kaleo moral dissent, and it is connecting with the grassroots since the Kalenjin bandits cannibalised their own peasantry to a level which, like the colonial hut-tax, raised an angry NO from even the most a-political of morons in a stagnant backwater. That kind of stress between the top and the bottom, needs a Marshall plan, or a military contingency!
But we will delve later into this bubbling of disquiet at the bottom. It is the heat forcing out the critical croaks from the frogs Kutuny and Keter, and counting. Because the duo are a smoke reporting a fire.
RUTO'S JAMMING MIND
Now, it is a comfy to reason such thoroughgoing rot at an institution (as the IEBC incriminated itself in) does not stain the results of its services. Then one concludes the IEBC delivered a free and fair election nonetheless, twice in a month in 2017. And Incredible Kivuitu too got his numbers right back in 2007!
This then means habitual rejectionists are perennial loosers best ignored and retired to oblivion!
Howbeit from a human psychological standpoint, such an ostrich pose --ignoring all that overflowing evidence which led David Maraga to his historic ruling---- is perfectly understandable. But from one at the thick of political things like William Ruto Phd, such an attitude counts for nothing but a life in denial. And that is playing for fatal.
But there is worse in store for the whole political superstructure.
For them to ignore the evident signs of an awakening is to dance on their own grave in advance. But that level of impunity would profess a rare evolutionary aberration: that of a parasitology bereft of a survival instinct. Such will push the host too far, to collective doom. Or inversely thought, such are a kind of Dodo waiting for it. ----(The dodo evolved in a world of no enemies. A bubble. It thus developed no useful defences. And then the deadliest beast arrived in paradise: Predator Man, and he was hungry and forged to kill for a meal.
That was the end of the Dodo bubble, and the Dodo!
But the African ruling class of course owe their continued existence to their usefulness to both modern Chinese and old Western Capital. This fact needs its own meditation session. The Interests of Africa Herself is yet to enter this global equation. And that is the beast out there, that is the temper stalking the neocolonial party. And it is a temper with that indifferent eye of the natural blood predator. Africa must feed, herself and her young. Africa must secure her future and that of her offspring. Africa must rise to be herself in the community of world peoples. It can't and wont be a walk in the park. It will be a jungle scenario. Africa is too rich and too important for the opulence of pirate lifestyles abroad. That, is the bottomline, that is the contour of the ferocious storm brewing in our lands.
Be the dodo if you want. But the die is cast!
How does that play at our local?
The social forces which propelled Raila to reject the IEBC charade (the same pressures which forced commissioner Roselyin Akombe into a controversial moral choice), are the same which have forced the Handshake upon the nation.
That is The Handshake understood as an elite parley. They are at their wits end.
I already indicated the official narrative remains the oath was mock, a so-called KALONGOLONGO political act. That Dodo-School maintains the event was superfluous, impotent and devoid of content.
But there is another version in the market of course.
THE NIGHT BEFORE
From what we now know, gleaned from the epidemic of nail-chewing which descended on otherwise very bully types at the national security council, the nation was on a knife-edge. And they knew it to their bones. Fear prevailed, sensibly lets add, not to mention the bowel-loosing tension at State House. This could be the spark to blow up Kenya. No, it wasn't a kalongolongo antic to be laughed off over tax-payer sponsored champagne! (Though we can do so now. It is safely behind our back!)
Obviously no one could guarantee a safe-landing then. The nation was up for a toss. One could talk of a social parity of oppositional forces. Of which neither could carry the day, but either could drag the other into the abyss. Further, there could arise no Bonaparte, yet, since the crisis hadn't yet spiralled out of control.
NB: This BONAPARTIST THING may need a lengthy footnote. See bottom.
The fear of that abyss became the genesis of the handshake. The recognition of a social tie, the imperative. The twin Princes Ouru and Raila are bound by a genuine, if instinctive class interest to enlengthen the class rule of the banditry. This banditry is of course the heritage of their fathers, Jaramogi and Jomo. Talk about family business. To pull of this trick, the banditry must continue to manufacture a wide social consensus on the desirability, and inevitability of their rape. You know, like in some offshoot of the Stockholm syndrome. Wanjiku must ever be loyal to her pimp, abuser and rapist. She must be convinced this is the eternal order of things in this world. For otherwise, see heaven!
What has remained since the Kalongolongo day and Handshake in its wake, is for the smarting, short-sighted hardliners ensconced with the bureaucracy to, disabled from charging the chief culprit with treason, vent their fury at co-oather Miguna. And they are at it with every cheap shot they can muster. In deed ass things go, these Kartelist forces have managed to coerce the new attorney General, Paul Kahara or something like that is his meme, into loosing his mind even before he's used it to peer longer than his stuffy nose! And Huraa! the --commander in chief---- son of Jomo sleeps as usual at key moments in the battlefield.
1. The AG stipulated QC Qureshi is only licensed to do one tax stamp case -DCJ Mwilu, and then away with him. That is like ordering F16s to scare off monkeys from a banana plantation while Al-Shabaab are mowing down KDF recruits at the other forest. 2. The AG is appealing Judge Chacha Mwita's ruling on Migina Miguna vs The State. The AG will be defending impunity with the callousness of a NAZI camp consigliere: we gassed them before shoving them into the ovens. That was very human of us I think, quite thoughtful too!
AG Kahara, the top legal mind assumed, is not known to have offered an opinion why the state did not produce Miguna Miguna in a court of law, both in (one) abeisance to standard protocol and (two) significantly as per an existent court order in issuance. Neither is his mind on record on the legality of the protocols of the Miguna deportations as executed in LUNGALUNGA fashion!
When the assumed top legal minds of my land fail to profess an opinion about such delicate things, permit me to yawn with a touch of derision; yeah, derision like the legendary African parrot reported to have stopped bothering attending the words of the African politician!
The African politician speaking? Not even a parrot bothers to listen.
Look, HE calls himself father of the nation We know he birthed nothing but corruption
(So goes the notorious line from a now deceased African poet. I doubt I recall correct, but it is the kind of stuff which could be from Okot P'Bitek's rampaging ire)
THE DP'S REVISIONIST NARRATIVE
DP William PHD Ruto has pegged Raila down as THE PERENNIAL LOOSER OF ELECTIONS. I surmised earlier it is deductible William has revised his opinion of the 2007 Kibaki rigging. This 'revisionism' is no-doubt in the wake of his further studies at Chiromo. This has opened this new insight. Good.
But the social stalemate stays. Currently The Handshake has allowed His Excellency the peoples president to re-invent himself as the saviour of the nation, and, desperate times in deed, is so treated by the majoritarian instinct of the peoples. There is need for a careful appraisal on how to break the deadlock. That can only be an ECONOMIC PARLEY between the political elite and the impoverished people. Given the neo-colonial subservience of our elite to either East or West, such thinking may easily be beyond the scope of the current layer of filth at the top.
The instincts of the nation, what I call the majoritarian feeling, is PROGRESSIVE. They people want better services as always, a good economy and, in the case of Kenya, death to the corrupt, corrupted and hirelings of the looter cartel.
If you doubt this, try a referendum with the option: AMNESTY OR INSTANT DEATH TO STATE LOOTERS? So, I repeat, the majoritarian instinct of the nation is an ANTI LOOTER, toward-radical economic reform PREZZO. A half-clean half-reformer conjoined monster. Yet, howbeit, a pure-blood conservative, a SUPREMO LOOTER, is exactly the prezzo the vocal Kalenjins have in mind for the land! That is a war-footing in effect between the two forces. The future and the past.
The bureaucratic power structure though, is status-quoist.
It is conservative and regressive, and Ruto is their man. It has grown fat on graft, facilitating the loot of the state by the cartel and allied bandits from abroad. The bureaucrats are apprehensive about the prospect of a clean government. It could mean a robust legal retribution whose consequences are both jail time and wealth confiscation, total ruin. This infrastructure thus look at Haji with concealed murderous seethe. Even if HAJI&KINOTI are so much ado about nothing.
But just the mere thought of it! A robust charge at Graft! Wah!
For this scared bureaucracy, writhing in anxiety, they rather have the next election rigged and another looter hoisted to the top. That to them would be a safe pair of hands. This makes William Ruto their perfect preference. ---It reminds me of how the Egyptian Deep State fought back, delegating their man, the General, to the top and rigging elections to keep him there forever.
But what an amount of terror they have needed to have Egyptians swallow the charade!
QUESTION
What will Ruto do when he is charged with stealing the airport land where he built the Weston Hotel? From his lawyer we fathom the school of his defence. From the aborted NLC meeting yesterday, we fathom the depths of the bureaucratic fear and impotence. If the NLC condemns Ruto for the theft and land laundering, they trigger an dangerous avalanche which would only be quelled once the Ndung'u report is exorcised. If they do not, the boil will fester like the TAJ MALL thing, making them a national laughing stock like their former leader Mohammed professor Swazuri, waiting for the unceremonious chop. The NLC commissioners thus decided to secure their retirement benefits first. They have gone so far as to release a press statement denying they sat in meeting the scheduled 20/12/18.
But it all leaves the goal open. Very soon a presidential candidate will rise up whose ambition, riding on the groundswell of anti-corruption anger, will force him to openly call Ruto a thief and, like Duterte, promise the people Ruto's head. Such a candidate will tick a list of felonies off his fingers, enthral the crowd with his knowledge of all, and, like Duterte, ask the people to anoint him Judge Juror and Executioner. Remember Man 01 Hassan Joho of Mombasa already hit that button last year with his MUIZI HANITISHI, but 01 lacks the sufficient ambition and forge of character to drive home a daggerous, no holes-barred charge.
But out there, there is a brute coming, sizing the battlefield. Then when he roars ---I don't run against thieves! I arrest and jail them or let you kill them! I can't take them to court! No sooner will the corrupt Judges will release them! Your best shot is elect me to wipe them off! The crowd will roar back! HOSANA! HOSANA! Like they did when Man Pontius Pilatus asked them: what do I do with this King of yours!? --crucify him! They thundered!
Funny, Huh!?
Somebody thinks we Kenyans are too civilised to thirst and thunder for the blood of state looters!? Eh, You should watch Kenyans when they are burning pick-pockets in towns or chicken thieves in the village!
Then like me, you will take very seriously the need to have a properly functional retribution system for crimes ---O Holy Miranda I profess my eternal supplication before you------ lest the bloodthirst of the mob be unleashed and the land wallow in its excesses.
You should read some of the speeches of candidate Duterte before he became president of The Philippines!
CULTURAL WARNING SHOTS
I isn't like the likes of Haji, Mbarak and Kinoti are Wanjiku's last resort, nay, that trio may just be the last gimmick of a decomposed ruling class fighting its burial. They are cultural warning shots. Let us do it the civilised way.
But we are only too human. So the legendary ostrich poise is for us to indulge some. That is how we make the history of our land a cracker for future generations.
NB: At over 30% GDP being lost to corruption and no services but all prices up, murder will come to town as an arrest. But first, we exhaust the option Haji and Kinoti and Mbarak, and The Handshake of course. One bridge at a time, in history too!
BONAPARTIST FOOTNOTE:
(A 'Bonapartist' is recruited from the same ruling class in decay, but possesses a coherent appraisal of the economic cul-de-sac wherein the society has ran a-ground. He launches a forceful reform program which, multifaceted, diffuses the social tension. This new-deal program re-canvases the loyalty of the lost classes and revitalises the nation! In Kenya for instance, A Bonapartist would wipe out the speculative and parasitic land gentry at the stroke of a pen. That is the long-awaited LAND REFORM. But he would still firmly maintain the ownership thereof in private hands. ---- The difference is the owners would be a much more radically productive bourgeoisie, agriculturally said, backed by a financial reform to avail tailored and cheap credit. This latter means a Bonapartist would face down the predatory-lender Kenyan bankers, to wean them off their addiction to state bonds and speculative bonuses. This is a blood-draw. It is a stern process where the riot order need must be read. It is a radical reform of the CREDIT REGIME, with a few bankers incarcerated for the provable ills they have facilitated.
YO! A criminal prosecution of the laundering of the NYS 1 heist for instance, would sentence wholesale, the CEO's and boards of directors of all Kenyan banks to decades at the National Maximum Penitentiary Facility, aka Kamiti! This consciousness of obvious guilt within the banking top, explains the meekness with which they have accepted the .... compromise..... Njoroge-CBK-fines on account of the same. A Bonapartist, his eyes snarling like Paul Kagame's at decisive moments, would conduct a banking reform in 10 minutes. --That is when the unearthed genius of Dr. Patrick Njoroge would shock him!
You see, currently I think Dr. Patrick is operating at less than 10% of his actual abilities. What makes me think this is a story for another day!)
PS: when Luo nationalism under the ODM delegated top-looter Kidero to the Nairobi county seat, they didn't see it coming, did they!?
The articulate ferocity of the intellect of a Miguna Miguna has not arrived in Kaleoland yet. Ruto can sleep easy.

THE EXTERNAL FACTOR IN KENYAN POLITICS
An-Xmas essay.
1. It is the economy stupid, I think. Taking a straight look at history will reveal the stink and warn, I insist. Therefrom can the clean-up mode be heartily engaged, at least for those nations still in faculty of their sanity in the head. But taking a look at the parcel of rogues who gather as the heads of the African Union, and then the caravan of bandits who hawk their banditry as the only show in town here in Nairobi, doubting Toms will be excused their tomfoolery, as they confidently shy from the story of Africa rising, captained by these vermin!
Now, lets take a look at the sink. Let us dig up, then deep into an example of what Donald Trump recognised as a sh!thole republic. None other than this one of ours. And sorry to hurt your feelings mate.
It is not complete to analyse Kenya's immediate future without a take on the external interest. This is because, as painful as it is, inequitable global power relations must be faced. Therein is Kenya, like most African countries if not all, a minion. Our Kenya is political-economically best described as a neo-colonial state. Her ruling class may enjoy various, limited forms of corruption autonomy, but there's a bottom line there. The rest is ma-airs for local consumption. Eee, Kenya iko na wenyewe, but you would be surprised who they are today!
Ask: whose economic interests are primary in the current order? Global or local?
Certainly not those of the African peoples. The ZANJ overwhelmingly enjoy a life in Planet Poverty throughout the war-prone Universe at large. This marginalised, evident unequal economic relationship, which in essence is the exploitation of African resources in all their abundance ----but never to the chief benefit of her peoples, has remained the fundamental problematic of African politicology ever since classical colonialism and beyond. In deed, running to two centuries since the peak of raw slave trade, Africa's liberation struggle has been quite an odyssey.
The foreign interest has spared no effort --from the targeted individual assassination of a revolutionary leader to the instigation and perpetration of genocide---- to tailor and manipulate African politics to cog. The Foreign Interest has taken a particularly controlling interest on which locals run Kenya. Or any other African state for that matter.
It is an open game of chicanery. Our presidential elections, wherever they be throughout the continet at large.
NEXT: 2. A JOVIAL LOOK AT SOME PAST.
And to map the historical lines our majesties are blessed to run.

2. FROM THE SULTANATE OF OMAN TO THE EAC, VIA ZANZIBAR!Pesa Position, let us define the historical coordinates of these bandits. Let us map their station. And thwart their mission. They are a thick layer of filth clogging the vitals of the land, blocking the vision to the future. The past offers a clear clue. We first visit a situation where all politics is seemingly an elite occupation. The people are wholly irrelevant. Theirs is to comply, bend to the will of the divine sovereigns. The big trade is in the ZANJ peoples, as SLAVES. There are other goodies like Ivory of course. But the major merchandise is a work-body: machinery. People like Tippu –--Twitchy Eyes--- Tipp run slave ranches, breeding them like goats; run slave exchanges, auctioning them like goats in that famous market William Ruto never misses; yeah, in this period slavery is an industry raking profits like oil wells in the 1970s; smartphones today, and AI tomorrow. We take a closer look at the politics. (now that we have diagnosed the political economy). Scarcely over a century ago, The Sultan of Zanzibar claimed vague ownership over all this territory. I am talking about the interior from Mombasa, and from Dar-es-Salaam and beyond. Yes, all of it to wherever it ended, since no cartographer had ever mapped the space in totality, save for the footpaths beaten by the slave caravans. Those footpaths are now morphed into slow-speed (SGR-TAZARA) railroads and China-smooth (Thika Road) autobahns. But back then, The Germans and British, truly rising, truly rising I say, looked at the Sultan of Zanzibar and grinned over his head. They went like: What a little piece of Arab sh!t! is squatting on the white man's lands The title deeds are our birthright, already bestowed upon us by our God And look, this little Arab and his sh!tgod still allows for trade in slaves! Don't he belong to a sh!t hole, where he should be lost to history forever? Find time, dear reader, to go through the archives of some of the letters from that period. There were men who, inspired by a strand of Christian doctrine which no longer underwrote slavery –---the very economic institute which had built Britain to unmatched greatness, weren't gonna take that sh!t no more! Islamic Sultanates still officially shackled to the productive machinery of slavery became nothing but barbarian custodians of Satanism to them. For these NEW WORLD Christian zealots, awakened BY INDUSTRIAL TOOL MANUFACTURE, and its large scale deployability to the labour process, a universal brotherhood blind to race, creed, colour but not SEX or gender was now the divine creed. Islam itself had to be eradicated, too retarded, and the poor Muslims shepherded to the path of light, Christianity. No doubt, these early Christian missionaries were men of mission, and the class in power in charge of the rising nations they came from, the modern bourgeoisie, were ideologically game. They were a class superbly confident of their destiny to dominate the world and shape it to their vision of the future. By all force then if necessary. It was a particularly sad time to be economically uncompetitive and ideologically inferior. Caught in this web of steely minds and men of mission, the Sultan of Zanzibar was in deed a little piece of sh!t. Still, even then, international relations fearing local conflicts spiralling into global skirmishes, had an algorithm called diplospeak, or diplomacy if you wish. (Today to the lingo still does its placebo service, though Donald the Trump POTUS leaves it very tattered. ###footnote 1) At first the British and Germans toyed. The Sultan of Zanzibar, a pawn. Therefrom did they more-or-less treat His Majesty like Hilary Clinton and Barrack Obama treated The King of Kings the other day. Say they skewered his political hinds. Yeah, long before the current commonwealth of the British empire, the East African coast was part of the same empire as Pakistan and part of the Indian coast! If old slave paths have become autobahns through the once jungle, why can't old dhow sealanes become commercial-armada-sea-highways? What could be more natural? Digital monsoon winds blowing!? ###(boycott Huawei? Really! John Bolton wants that!) Tragic, but some of these stuff remain hilarious. Zanzibar, from Zanj a'ri, Black Coast, was itself once an external possession of the Omani Kingship, based in far-away Muscat, Oman. That is like Hawaii to the USA where Barrack Obama was born. Or provincial Puerto Rico wherefrom the parents of Latina-butt-icon J-Lo hailed. A factor of sea power. J-Lo proudly affirms Puerto-Rican ancestry, or Barrack Obama displays the Kenyan flag at the Whte-House and is forced to resign? Take your pick! Of butt, I mean. Which one kicks? East or West coast? A man of New York named Puff Daddy or Piff Diddy referred to J-Lo's butty as a work of Arty. A battle of butts ensued between the West Coast and the East coast, and it still rages. Being not too old to enjoy art, and divine ones at that, –---- –--I am more informed about this War of World butts than I am of the political, mostly tribal twerks of Kenya, I tell ya. But that enticing war-report of batting butts is for another day. When Jukwaa goes playboy! Anyway you get the general idea of the deal in imperial foreign possessions. MOBILITY. One gotta be a naval power. Permanently project it. Or the Argentinians will take back their Malvinas, the Ugandans their Migingo, the Russians their Crimea. And the British their HongKong, and Taiwan secede. If China truly is rising, it will be in the detail of her investment in naval power. Or the instantaneous neutralisation thereof. And if Africa is rising, that too is where the devil in the detail will be found: naval power, or its negation in a nano-second. I am saying it is not for nothing Coastal Somalis achieved fame as a pirate people. They used to be fishermen, then their waters were trawled empty by fish raiders from afar, backed by their homeland frigates. Piracy has always been a gun-boat thing. But all in all, it is just the economy stupid. A coast with no navy to protect it is a free for all, a scavengers banquet. Pesa positione I said, we are a coastal nation too, Kenya! Three hot tears, that the African continent, surrounded by thousands of kilometres of BLACK COAST, displays no navy to admire. With no protector aircraft carrier named after fiery Tshaka Zulu to awe me and rivet my gaze, why blame me if I only have eyes for the turgid butts of the world!? #1##FOOTNOTE: DIPLOMACY AND HYPOCRISY Only Donald Trump has been uncouth enough to cut through the hypocrisy. He famously called his Canadian vassal, Trudeau, a little madhafaka in a crowded room during the G8 I think it was. Before he became president and needed Saudi money to pay for his Mexican walls, he declared the KSA a terrorist den Washington had no business protecting. There would be enough cheap oil from elsewhere. As president, he sent Angela Merkel blue by telling her to her face that the way she was paying for Russian gas, it was like she was paying Putin to rape her all holes! And to Teresa may: Just get the fcuk quick out of that stupid European Union! And diplomats got busy to translate to members of the press core! Next 3. THE ZANJ RISING, AFRICA'S LIBERATION STORY

FOOTNOTE: WHY DO AFRICAN LEADERS SECRETLY VISIT CHINA?Because they can no longer secretly visit Switzerland and Luxembourg to hide loot? This background footnote is linked to the increasingly deepening murk about the –--s hould we say unconfirmed----- undisclosed clauses on the funding of the SGR by China Exim Bank. QUESTION: Was the Port of Mombasa baited as a collateral, and a gonna on default!?It would be a mind-boggling feat in mental mediocrity for Ouru Kenyatta's regime; but, given the several (now verified) precedents both local and international, this awesome governmental stupidity is nothing new under the sun, just another innovative looting device. In fact, in Africa's new debt trap where the current crop of tropical nincompoops –--aka Their Excellency' The Presidents------ have ushered her, this secret but actual secession of sovereignty is the new looting template. So, footnote, were the following Raila and Ouru trips private or state-business? Or is it so, that in the narrative of state capture by cartels, the difference is the same? But at this stage it is still the silence which speaks louder than words. nb: bear with me as I narrate between the devil and the deep sea, between a rock and hard place, as a certain Sultan of Zanzibar found himself locked between the horns of Imperial Britain and Martial Germany. –--Now I want to tell a dirty joke. It is derived from a very dirty Arab joke about the late King Hussein of Jordan. But the prelude is this: a man named John Bolton who is Donald Trump's national security advisor, articulated the director's cut of the USA's Africa policy: Obey US, or be damned! Pesa Positione Kenya, lets practice some slithering, slippery belly dance! Between the Skylla, and the Karybdis! THE EXTERNAL FACTOR IN KENYAN POLITICSAn-Xmas essay. 1. It is the economy stupid, I think. Taking a straight look at history will reveal the stink and warn, I insist. Therefrom can the clean-up mode be heartily engaged, at least for those nations still in faculty of their sanity in the head. But taking a look at the parcel of rogues who gather as the heads of the African Union, and then the caravan of bandits who hawk their banditry as the only show in town here in Nairobi, doubting Toms will be excused their tomfoolery, as they confidently shy from the story of Africa rising, captained by these vermin! Now, lets take a look at the sink. Let us dig up, then deep into an example of what Donald Trump recognised as a sh!thole republic. None other than this one of ours. And sorry to hurt your feelings mate. It is not complete to analyse Kenya's immediate future without a take on the external interest. This is because, as painful as it is, inequitable global power relations must be faced. Therein is Kenya, like most African countries if not all, a minion. Our Kenya is political-economically best described as a neo-colonial state. Her ruling class may enjoy various, limited forms of corruption autonomy, but there's a bottom line there. The rest is ma-airs for local consumption. Eee, Kenya iko na wenyewe, but you would be surprised who they are today! Ask: whose economic interests are primary in the current order? Global or local? Certainly not those of the African peoples. The ZANJ overwhelmingly enjoy a life in Planet Poverty throughout the war-prone Universe at large. This marginalised, evident unequal economic relationship, which in essence is the exploitation of African resources in all their abundance ----but never to the chief benefit of her peoples, has remained the fundamental problematic of African politicology ever since classical colonialism and beyond. In deed, running to two centuries since the peak of raw slave trade, Africa's liberation struggle has been quite an odyssey. The foreign interest has spared no effort --from the targeted individual assassination of a revolutionary leader to the instigation and perpetration of genocide---- to tailor and manipulate African politics to cog. The Foreign Interest has taken a particularly controlling interest on which locals run Kenya. Or any other African state for that matter. It is an open game of chicanery. Our presidential elections, wherever they be throughout the continet at large. NEXT: 2. A JOVIAL LOOK AT SOME PAST. And to map the historical lines our majesties are blessed to run.

THE UNSACKABLE KICKBACK ARTISTS IN CABINET
Waxing furious for the second time in as many days, the commander in chief zeroed down on striking nurses. If need be, and the worst case scenario unfolds, by tomorrow 9 o'clock, the day after Valentine 2019, Kenya will be public-nurses free. All of them having been discontinued from duty, or sacked.
It would otherwise be an admirable feat in a steadfastness further re-enforcing a decisive reputation for the CiC, were it not that in the same breath, there is even a bigger thing eating Muigai within his presidential clothes. As I said yesterday, the thieves he himself appointed to cabinet, are beyond his CiC powers to even mention by name, let alone attempt a dismissal! THE LOOP I will explain with illustrative cases how the loop works in defrauding gullible widows of land. A widow notices some people are encroaching on her land. A local lawyer offers his help. But he is a greedy crook with a greedy network. He approaches the prosecutor who approaches the Judge, and they have contacts at the Lands office. The widow is done for as the greedy network divided the spoils. Here is a variation on the theme. . The loop, when Wanjiku is caught in a net. Those who would help her, are the same wolves sharpening knives to make a further meal of her!
WHO WILL MATIANG'I REPORT THE CABINET KICKBACK ARTISTS TO?
According to William Ruto in his explanation why the rise of Matiang'i does not bother him, Matiang'i reports to both him and Ouru. William is still co-president, and his access to intelligence, called clearance, has not been, as they say when you fall out of the loop, degraded.
So he says, Matiang'i reports to him. --These three cabinet secretaries are rotten! Etc etc.
Now lets savour the moment. Some might have seen the cartoon in the DailyNation in which a bus named Weston Hotel is running over a certain William in the mud! Dirty William so said.
In our case, Dirty William looks at the Class Prefect, Dr. Fred, who has come in to report the kick-back addicts and seek direction. William drops a lazy grin. He notices Fred has not included his own name in the list, on account of the Ruaraka land scam. There, there are lingering questions whether Matiang'i and Kipsang' ignored sound advise in exchange for hefty kick-backs. William has got the Intel alright.
But there is more.
Some of the three rotten cabinet secretaries in question were William's personal hand picks. What they now stand accused of, amassing by tenderpreneurial corruption, is exactly what he procured them for. They are greedy, tested corruption and cartel loyalists taxed to, by working the institutioanal levers the seedy way, bring in booty to build up the war-chest needed to purchase the presidency!
That is the loop. You want to end corruption, but you report the corrupt to, as Stephen Sackur of the BBC HARDTALK put it, the most corrupt politician alive in Kenya today!
This one Matiang'i can't fix. Fred himself is an appointee of the presidency, and even in his last term and lame duck stretch, Don Quixote just can't turn around and kick Pancha's teeth in. Ouru became president in the light of an ICC indictment for crimes against humanity. Being the most corrupt Kenyan politician doesn't look that bad in that light! No!?
I am just kidding!

DANGEROUS GAMES KENYA, THE COLONIAL REDUXElsewhere I was kidding like so But there is stuff only history should kid one about in depth. I sometimes spend a sleepless night on that score. One reaches that age in life when it is no longer Puszy and her conquering pheromones which incenses one into raging nocturnal pursuits! I therefore do tap my head at night, wide-eyed, so that in the mornings, faced with a bright-eyed Kenyan students asking intelligent questions, I do not collapse into the cynicism and sarcasm of the dead intellect! I rather serve them hefty cuts, and have them exhaust their mental juices on the digest. It is their country after all, and their future for sooth. (For many of these politicians, aging, it was their country, and already their past in deed! Not much of a legacy! fain as they might be to insist!) BUT YES, FOR THE YOUTH, THEIR FUTURE FOR SOOTH! But here we are, playing dangerous games with that future, ignoring the youth whose chief business it is. We are playing a national game of nerves. And it is an open game. And then something darker. Because an inherently corrupt Plutocracy masquerading as a Democracy, is the same game as that Afrikaner apartheid regime which, its core a banalism of economic oppression, yet reputed itself a democracy and a bulwark against, yes, the red peril of communism. And, cold war necessities, the Afrikaner regime had very powerful allies, with pockets even deeper than 300 hundred year go-down gold mines! No kidding. But what is up in Kenya, all options on the table of history? 1. For starters, Redman Martin Ngatia of the Revolutionary Alliance of Kenya, is a hard and succinct voice on what is to be done. On the issue of corruption and atonement, the leading participants and the politicians abetting it can't be let live, nor retired in ill-gotten wealth. While Presidential candidate (and incumbent deputy President) Dr. William Ruto writhed uncomfortably as he was pinned by the BBC's HARDTALK-King, Stephen Sackur, Candidate Ngatia does not mince his words nor fork his tongue. Where William Ruto claimed the IPSOs-poll in which Kenyans characterised his ilk as the epitomes of corruption was in fact hogwash because it was merely a politicisation of the corruption narrative, Man Martin Ngatia thinks and opts for radical surgery to get to the bottom of the problem and uproot it. The difference as Omwenga used to quip, is as night and day. Ngatia would round them up by the tens, coil few weight-proof loops of barbed wire around their necks, then leave the rest to the Green Monster, SANY. That will say the strong arms of SANY would slowly tug upwards, and, rotating on its base until they are dead, dump the late Kings of Graft on an a carry-away conveyor, you know, like the cargo bay of an open monster truck! --To the ash heap of history. How long does it actually take a human being to die, dangling in the air as in hanged? On an averagely busy day, 10 unbroken SANYS deployed, what, by best calculations, is the body count or harvest rate per hour? NB: I insist best calculations, because, in Kenya, I have seen the Auditor General's statements reduced to MERE OPINIONS by each and sundry of the economic criminals! Poor Adder and Substractor, our Dr. Eduard Ouko! Feeding us opinions for math figures, while we know since the wise-cracking Dirty Harry that opinions come like azzholes, every moron is well-endowed with one! (and every male politician with two, the other being his mouth!) But on Ngatia's gambit, nay, this is not a morbid calculation in preparation of the industrial scale extermination of the top thieves of Kenya! Them thieves are not as many as to occupy SANY 24/7 for a couple of days. Just look around you in your daily life, fellow common Kenyan, how many thieves do you know, petty or big? There! Gotcha! You see Kenya is not the corrupt country paraded as if thievery is our first nature. Nay, it is a tiny bunch of bureaucrats and nearly all politicians giving our birthright a bad name. The story of Big Theft in Kenya, is the story of a few individuals, the oligarchs and plutocrats and their nepotistic network, sycophants and hangers-on. That is half-a-day of uplifting SANY work at Uhuru Park. Do the math with the infamous EACC list which Uhuru's furtive cronies burnt. At its most comprehensive it is reputed to have had no more than 2000 names! 2000 only! Even for the laziest folks of the world that is quick work hanging. No sh!t, think that a mobilised Hutu peasantry clocked close to 1 million hackings in 90 days! And those statistics are not the statements of Kenyan Auditors which are matters of layman opinion! The hangings would thus be merely symbolic. We come to a deeper meaning of this in a moment. The infamous (disappeared but not yet lost to history) EACC list of the condemned did of course include the names of the facilitatory bureaucrats (like surveyors and land officials), who colluded to defraud parastatal and riparian lands to the benefit of private developers, some of whom ---like Ramesh TajMall Gorasia or Kiambu senator Kimani Wamatangi, have, unlike William Ruto's Weston or part of Michael Maina's Marble Arch, had their illegal structures torn down. Wamatangi's on Valentine's day for sh!tting on grabbed Railway lands in Nairobi. Now the detail is the landgrabber Wamatangi was part of the senatorial commission investigating the Ruaraka land scam! May be that is what they called in Old Rome: Using a thief to catch a thief. No, in Kenya we do not say 'conflicted senator', we say 'you scratch my back, I will look out for yours!' Or, in a country where pick-pockets are lynched and robbers gunned down ruthlessly by the Heszy's, senator Wamatangi would join the mlolongo of those to hang on the Sany! Tell me I am kidding? The demolished main structure in the area included a restaurant, a pharmacy, a salon, a boutique and a cosmetics shop. [Courtesy] Kiambu Senator Kimani Wamatangis car bazaar, car wash and other structures near Nyayo National Stadium, Nairobi, were flattened today But there is also stuff you don't know to laugh or cry about! Theres is a picture of the guard to go with it! I find it too demeaning to splash it here. It is a small incident, but what it diagnoses in the mind of the 'entrepreneurial' class is less than medieval. There is more that list, on the chapter of land-grabs. TJRC: President Uhuru (right), receives the report from Betwel Kiplagat at State House. ETC ETC ETC! The 2000 hangings or so would thus be symbolic; nothing more than an exercise in curative theatrics. This is in the sense of a public psycholigical break with a collective numbness.And that is a big point, the kind of mental numbness which is also typical of the stockholm syndrome. It is broken when a people summon up the courage to face the truth of their existence and take steps to redefine their future. A tough call, but there it is, a process. Let me explain it like this. It will be an anecdote from Mozambique, aka Sumbiji. NEXT: HOW FRELIMO BROKE A COLONIAL PSYCHOLOGICAL HOLD

HOW FRELIMO BROKE A COLONIAL PSYCHOLOGICAL HOLD(a Luo Pivot Post) And the relevance of this long tale will soon hit home, bull's eye! (why do we vote-in thieves out of ethnic allegiance whilst we know they are the doom of Kenya!? Stockholm, it is a situation! And I am in the mood to kid some more!) Samora Machel and his band of anti-colonial revolutionaries organised in the FRELIMO are reputed to have taken to public extravaganzas of whipping quite a few random whites. This was to cure a debilitating ' Impossibility Complex' in some of their people. It was a village to village circus. The locals were amazed, then amused at how whites could cry too! They could cringe and soil their clothes with all manner of body fluids. They could rush to their knees at the sight of a native swinging a whip, and beg a black for forgiveness the way local songs tell of the days escaped and recaptured slaves were bone-broken to heaps of writhing immobility, then left for raven vultures. It was taking token acts of public sadism to break the spell cast of five centuries of enforced subservience, and total cruelty. (Anybody wants the full roll call of Portuguese terror on colonials check the archives a plenty! 400 hundred years long!) A glimpse ]Of talking of the wheel as a symbol of Justice, but what is the crime of a slave who rebels demanding freedom!? Yes, one of the most horrible punishments ever invented by man becomes a tool routinely meted on THOSE WHO FIGHT FOR THEIR FREEDOM, and in our case in the new world, let these be blacks!! That INVERSION is worth loosing lots of sleep over. The extreme depths of cruelty and depravity 'civilisation' has to call upon, to keep part of humans in bondage, in our case, blacks! This is an important detail. Castration for punishment is different from castration for employment as a EUNUCH in the Sultan's harem, or the Forbidden City in Imperial Beijing, teaming with idle but steamy puszy! So too was the great Chinese admiral who hit the East African Coast before Vasco Da Gama, a Eunuch. He was a frequent visitor and overnight guest of the emperor, and the imperial wives were giving him the licking, dikc-stiffening looks. His head was too precious an imperial resource, but his c.ock and balls just had to go! -That wasn't punishment, it was precaution. Such details must not be glossed over. NOW, MUSUMBIJI! The story goes like this: immediately they launched the armed struggle, Machel and co ran into the classical pathology of the long dominated: an inculcated, cultivated and internalised inferiority complex as a bastion of false consciousness. This expressed itself as lots of lots of local folk believing the Portuguese could not be defeated. They were White, and as such, Supermen Forever! That was when the whip came in for randomly picked white buttocks! Behold, those natives who had gone to the lion's den in Europe recognised Portugal for what she was: a wasted predator. The kicks she dealt in Africa were her last death-tics; they were the last kicks of a dying horse whose colonial proboscis's would soon stiffen in rigor mortis, cut by Frelimo. To add salt to injury, those Africans who studied in abroad were ashamed and stunned at finding this out. The Iberian Peninsular consisting of Portugal and Spain, and the underbelly of Europe running from Greece to Turkey, was a belt of social backwardness and primitive regimes. Northern Europe called them The Barbarians (FF the Eurozone crisis and they were mostly found in PIIGS!). But back then, Barbarian Spain was under the barbarian General, Francesco Franco. Primitive Greece was under what they termed the mediocre colonel's regime; Turkey was too primitive to be counted on any list of anything European; and the motherland Portugal was somewhere between Turkey and Greece, between primitive and mediocre, but definitely twice barbarian. There was no future in belonging to a barbarian empire! With this knowledge, the been-to natives developed an unforgiving consciousness. And it had another deadly component: unflinching ontempt and scorn for Portugal and the Portuguese. Portuguese colonialism was ridiculous. It was shameful on everybody concerned, not least the deluded and stupid Portuguese themselves. Sumbiji was going nowhere under the tutelage of a rotten Lisbon. Neither was Lisbon herself going anywhere but down with her rot! But this consciousness was not general in the colony, was it!? In the colony it was VIVA IGNORANCE! Lots of folks kinda still believed t Portugal was still The Great, and the Portuguese still the invincible SEA DEVILS they had been when Vasco Da Gama peeped in, over 450 years earlier. The great sailor was on his daring way to Mombasa and India, opening European eyes to look East! And be made! A new chapter began on these shores. The European chapter. Time crawled, flew for others, and nothing stayed the same. So with the advent of FRELIMO, led by the likes of Eduardo Mondlane and Samora Machel, yet a new page in history turned. Organised armed ideological resistance to colonialism. In case you wonder what the MONDLANE STREET in Nairobi is all about, here is a jog if you never heard of the biggest University in Mozambique. And for Samora, the Mr. Aluta Continua The truth is, the Greatness of Portugal was of course long gone by this time. In between the centuries since Vasco da Gama, there had been an INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION. Brittania had taken over to rule the waves; there had been two world wars, a radical revolution in Russia, a terrifying Germany called NAZI and an independent India (with or without Pakistan and Bangladesh!). In the ruins of all these had emerged a cold war. The world had two super powers, the USA and the Soviet Union. And, the Chinese people stand up, revolutionary China under Mao had fired a warning. The PRC had ambitions, and was coming! As Portugal stayed a backwater stagnant in pre-industrial self-deception, Chou En Lai visited Africa, delegated by Mao to explore. We could even says his trip was a bit like Vasco da Gama's, or the earlier, Ming-dynasty admiral Zheng He. Trade. Yes, Portugal still persevered in its illusions as a POWER IN AFRICA! She insisted on shaping the destiny of INDIGENES the way she had done in the 16th century at the height of her powers. In deed she loaded them natives by the ships for the huge profits of the slave trade. She was very late, very late, and in deed she was also financially bankrupt, but, COLD WAR GEOPOLITICAL PRIORITIES, Portugal was a client state of the USA. This super power found it necessary to prop the Portuguese ancien regime both at home and abroad as an anti-communist pawn. This was the geopolitical chess game diktat (of Bzerzinski and Mao's the enemy of my enemy is my friend). And so the anti-Portuguese colonialism efforts found natural allies in the East. The East, again The East! How the rotten Portuguese empire muddled on in Africa all the way to the mid 1970's is a story worth looking at in detail. Not least because it is also the episode which would generate Africa's finest revolutionary thinker, Amilcar Cabral. But today, the lesson I have in mind is different, and purely Kenyan. A CAREFUL LONG THINK: THE CHAINS OF A QUISLING ELITEToday, having re-united and pacted themselves in The Handshake, Kenya's corrupt and rotten political elite appear Insurmountable. They rate themselves as invincible as the feet below Achilles' heels --him the indomitable son of a Nereid Nymph! The thieving financial oligarchy and weird aristocracy at the top, daily conducts her rituals of domination and permanence with abandon. To rub it in like the late Portuguese over their African dominions, the black colonist lords of Nairobi even imported poisonous sugar and maize to feed to the Kenyan masses, and are sure to get away with it! Not once but many times over. Agwambo himself was Prime Minister when the first dose of poison was served as Ugali! Kerio Valleyman Rotich with his cancerous sugars is a late comer to the game I tell ya! The impunity of our Black Portuguese elite in Nairobi is summarised as: MTA DO!? --That is they can degrade the citizens of Kenya to any level and there is nothing, absolutely no consequence they fear. I call that a dangerous game. I call that an exercise in self-deception. That is the arrogance of manslaying Achilles before a well-timed arrow finds his heels. Come to think of it; keeping the citizens hungry such that you can force-feed them poisonous foodstuff for profit, is a dirty to sadistic ritual of pathological dominance, like the sh!t porn they call from ass to mouth, and eat my sh!t! It is diseased, like the Imperial powers who, in ritualised humiliation, forced the Chinese to grow them opium (free slave labour) and addict themselves to it for their profit (guaranteed market)! Don't one loveth the cheek of poetry. A recent rogue poet, with a distant whiff of the wit of AbuNuwasi, parodised a court poet to Xi JinPin. The infamous treaty of Nanking in which Hong Kong was ceded to Imperial Britain afte they defeated the Qing emperor, ratified 1843, was unequal. Mao said it was signed when China's back was stooped. And so when he launched the PRC, his first words were: THE CHINESE PEOPLE STAND UP! The parody might have this line: Your back, Chairman Xi, is that a stoop I detect; a damsel held hostage in Canada? Jinping, Are you King Qing, dishing out Hong Kong for the British to make a who-re of?In the long run nothing good comes of such insanities of greed. Be they what we saw in the past colonial brutalities, be they what we see in Nairobi today. Pathologies of power may be standard human behaviour, but so is the ruthless counterpunch it elicits. So, these ---essentially historical late----- ethnic Kingpins who are the colossus of our politics, and who Kenyans in a duplicituous pitch tell Ipsos-polls, that they know, that these deities are nothing but a behemoth of rot, corruption, seedy greed and rigged elections, have wormed themselves into a vital use-role for very powerful external actors. These actors are very mindful of their geopolitical priorities. This situation really is a parallel to how rotten Portugal shaped herself into a cog of US imperialism, thereby purchasing herself a longer lease of life than she otherwise could afford. But sooner of later the plug is pulled and the game up! So, about that whipping of random white buttocks to break the spell of colonial divinity? watch out for the signs that a bluff is to becalled, on the seemingly INFALLIBLE ethnic Kings, obsessively indulging backwardness to an excess. Say the tidings of a death knell. Eh! Did Man Ngatia of the KRA already sound the trumpet!? Just Kidding some more.

THE DOMINATOR'S OF AN ANCIEN REGIME BE PRAISED!
Let us pray!
I salute thee! O Kings of our Land! I hail thee! O Thieves of our Land! Praise be to thee! O Lords of Impunity! Thee are the High Stars we gaze at to navigate our Paths! Thee are the deities we bow to for a shower of blessings! Thee are our sliced bread, the butter on it and our wet dreams! Thee are beyond my knowledge, my mind stutters wordless in your sight! May you please live forever that no darkness befall our land! Your excellence in corruption is the key to our radiant future! May the ancestors never tire to grin and nod in awe at your wisdom --O thee Kings of our Land.
I am a member of the cult of Kenya and I know the catechism by heart, so allow me the above ritual on the traditional Sunday. I attend the Church then. Whole heartedly. Mosques are terror-dens I avoid like the plague, so to speak!
But Monday to Friday, and part Saturday, is a different reality of course. I am in the workman's clothes and not my Sunday best. I gotta crush rock for half a meal; dare the elements on dangerous roads driving a matatu; turn the wheels of concrete-mixers to run building courses; walk the pre-dawn round trip from Mukuru slums to Wakulima market to procure a few kilos of fresh farm merchandise from Kisii to hawk around Estates for the$2/day profit; wait patients in hospitals as dilapidated as my motivation; teach students more bored than the heart of a young slayqueen servicing her old geek of a sponsor; sit at my desk falsifying KRA stamps for crooked billionaire; run around town in clerical errands hiding the trail of NYS 1&2 heists; sit around boardrooms plotting to fix the coming elections; brainstorm around ThinkTanks formed to thwart Haji&Kinoti, calculate how much of Rotich's next budget can be defrauded and laundered! --you get the gist!
The work day is the work day. If it is not a profession, it is a trade. And if it is not a business, it is a hustle. Sunday may then be a momentary relief. Just to recuperate and perhaps take stock too. This is a Christian country so don't tell me about other religions please. (as with CBA -what CBA? I ask: religions, which other religions!)
Sunday is a day to kid myself.
Monday to Friday I have no respite; I have to think harder than I do on Sundays. On Sundays I pray as above together with other Kenyans prostrate before their Ethnic looterlords. But Monday to Friday I can't afford illusions. I can't indulge in self-deceptions. Diplomacy takes me nowhere on the roads, but a small bribe to a copper adds my swift. If as a matatu-driver you let slip up, that dangerously overloaded monster truck hurtling at high speed and overtaking the wrong way will make mince meat of you and your cargo. Reality is harsh, dishing out instant checks. No daydreams permitted. Those are for Sunday. But even then, not entirely.
THERE IS SUSPICION!
And a pervading sense of unease. What do referenda solve, what don't they solve!?
Raila the colossus of Kenya, Ouru the Ramses the Great of Mount Kenya, Ruto the re-incarnated conquering legend of the Nandi spirit of Samoei; the Princes Gideon Moi and Mudavadi, Kalonzo Musyoka and the rest fighting for relevance, are at the top of their game. Yes they are; but that peak is akin to the doomed top at which a rotten (Salazar-to-Caetano) Portugal was perched as she acted out her late lordship over her African dominions and other far-flung Lusaphone prefectorates.
It is something worth thinking about in painful details.
From an earlier analysis then: the only way these men of ours can maintain pose is by prostituting themselves into puppets of powerful external actors. Such, we stated, are strategically mindful of their geopolitical priorities and, significantly, rich enough to prop up puppet regimes abroad. This is why it was important to learn the lesson of the late colonial Portugal. She had otherwise 'purchased herself a longer lease of life than she could afford'. She did this by becoming an asset of United States foreign policy. American power subsidised her, gave her elite powers they didn't have, allowed them to siphon off massive wealth to their persons and families, but, in the process, they inadvertently primed their land for revolution. The masses continued to wallow in abject poverty; the political system in place had long reached a dead-end; it was an ancien regime. The best of her youth, uninterested in dying abroad in colonial Africa or wasting away in Lissabon slums, had to migrate to find and make their futures elsewhere. But the best patriotic had no option but to stand up and modernise the state and politics of their Land, to give everybody a fighting chance and a stakehold in the future.
It is an old story, ever repeated in many variations.
So here we are, Kenya, the treasury at the ICU unit of Debt. There tethered she is to IMF&WB infuses and Eurobonds, or alternatively on life support from Chinese concessions, in exchange for vital concessions. Such a vegetative state can be kept very long in that state ---as we narrated of colonial Portugal----- depending on her pathological usefulness to the morbid fantasies of the rich and powerful who pay the bills.
FOOTNOTE: WHAT IS UP IN SOMALIA?
Consider the news this weekend, that our diplomatic relations with Somalia have broken down. Ponder this in the light of the fact that the KDF, our defence forces, are having their greatest deployment abroad ever, in the selfsame Somalia. Then you know you are wading a sh!thole, and cheating your love-life.
Consider too, that, even as we broke up with our neighbour where our troops are suppose to be stabilising, Monicah Juma and Ababu Namwamba were in Warsaw, Poland, and they were presenting papers on how to achieve everlasting peace in the middle east, all without involving Iran, Yemen and the Palestinians!
You catch! ---when the Africans say
. your house is burning and you are roaming at the market!? you are between incurable foolishness and insanity. But, paymaster priorities, our top diplomat Monicah Juma had to make an appearance in Poland, not Mogadishu where our house is truly on fire! That is the American diktat (not Ruto's, should you think Monicah went there to pledge loyalty to the future president' daughter and probably ingratiate herself a new plum docket in the next administration!). Mesays the KDF in Somalia is America's baby. Recall, broke Nairobi would rather an infants genocide (see Kiambu hospital baby deaths rates this week) by firing all Nurses striking for an additional 5k/month. --The commander in chief himself gave the drunken order! Thence can we safely conclude Henry Rotich is in no financial position to fund a KDF campaign in Somalia. Somebody else is doing that for him ---like they did for Portugal's Lusaphone misadventures.
We can also deduce, that the intellectual motivation of the national interest to invade and occupy parts of Somalia is not authored by Kenyans thinktanking at the Kenya institute of Strategic Studies; nor is it underwritten by our military curia forming the elite brains at the DoD in Nairobi. The DoD's is to obey, exercising their latitude in moonlighting activities (like charcoal). Until the paymasters say, enough!
Then will the troops come home!
The alternative is of course that Somali nationalism organises a Handshake of all splinter groups and, like Chiang Kai Shek and Mao Tse Tung in the broad front, temporarily cease fire amongst themselves to channel firepower at the hated, predatory colonial invader. Then a few more El Addes and our troops troop home --even if the Generals and compromised politicians who aren't doing the dying, want them to overstay because to their selfish and shameless selves, the Somali mess is a lucrative venture! A looting enterprise.
May the ancestors never tire to grin and nod in awe at your wisdom --O thee Kings of our Land.
Amen.

WHEN ELITES PREPARE TO DIEOne must understand the real danger of a collapsing elite. How slowly they die. They, at the last moment of their decay, are hell bent on the Samson option. This is when the nation dies along with them. This is based on the delusion they and the nation are one, neither can can't exist without the other. This unity is a bit like a fit of Megalomania, which is an absolute corruption of thought. It is easily the madness of unchecked power. Now, a vocal clique of (comprador) cannibals within the wide expanse of Kalenjin nationalism is projecting a controversial narrative. William Ruto must be president. King of Corruption or not. Opposing him is a dangerous game for all, but from Ouru Kenyatta, tantamount to chickenfeed betrayal. And that, they wont take. Uhuru's successor must be Ruto, period, and not just a Kalenjin. ---As a matter of fact the world is full of Kalenjins but there is only one Hustler Singh, King Ruto. But there is a problem. In politics, both the strongest or the most stupid but most powerful, must still explain themselves to the people. This is the horror of politics. Even a super tyrant like Tshaka must explain his mandate. Even a mad Nero must play politics daily in Rome if he is to survive a day in power. So he needs thought magicians like Cato to explain to the people, that since he is a god, he is beyond mistakes. That was long ago, but today, even a man-god like Paul Kagame must still be at it, a massive PR operation. Everyone (including deities) must legitimise their claim and cling to power. MUST! And that is when one enters a singularly dangerous terrain. Reality checks tend to waylay and ambush the deluded, fatally.From that analysis, the following simply-stated problem can be very complicated to tackle. The likes of Oscar Sudi, Sang, Murkomem et al, haven't even started yet. For starters, to answer this: WHY MUST A CERTIFIED THIEF BE THE PRESIDENT OF KENYA?In a public discourse where the narrative from top politicians are rich helpings of propaganda,lies and entitlement, this becomes a nasty question. It is virtually impossible for that vocal clique to do justice to it. This is why we watch outrageous claims, nearly hysterical outbursts from the likes of Kipchumba Murkomem and Oscar Sudi, especially running away from the shillingi 21 billion question, fencing Ruto off. HISTORICAL WINDS OF CHANGE The biggest challenge in Africa today for the political class, my opinion, is the deep malaise of general awareness that we (Africans) are fukcing up our public affairs. From Pretoria to Algiers (where a corpse is running for another grave term), throughout anywhere and everywhere, whichever country or capital, there are no economic spring-ups ('miracles'). The continent is restive, aware she is wasting away; her youth more so. Kenya is restive, yeah, the peoples temper tuning fine eyes dimming colder. Thieves whether y/ours (in the Kenyan ethnic sense) don't and wont build dams for you nor I. They will only rip you and I off. Instead of beating deadlines delivering dams for the National Grid and Food-Security Irrigation, they will fly abroad to organise the logistics for kickbacks. Instead of building dams at home for hommies in Kerio and the Rift Valley (or Mount Kenya), the likes of Rotich and Ruto make designs on the budget wherefore the dams, should we say, burst before they are built. Note: (The Kerio Valley Development Authority is an isomer of the Lake Basin Development Authority, or the TARDA, which is posting the Galana white elephant scheme!) FF It is not just phantom dams, it is phantom irrigation schemes too! But the hunger wont be phantom. It is thus prudent to prepare to EXPLAIN angry stomachs, to convince the hungry off bread riots. But today it is the phantom dam controversy we are looking at. Or, to be fairer, EXPLAINING them away. Dr. RUTO: we will not allow people whose signature is keeping people in the slavery of poverty and fighting every development initiative, using fake data, fake news and false information, to try and scuttle the development agenda that we have set for our country. It is a FAT LIE that 21B was lost. Only 7B it was ........ and even that was insured! The dams will be completed!'He was heckled somewhere, but echoed elsewhere. THE MUROMEM BLEAT WENT: Fitinia people allied to the handshake and lords of poverty do not want development in our area. They want the dams decomissioned so we remain marginalised! Forever. Subtext of this presentation: Blame the phantom dams on Raila Odinga and his dirty-handed shake! Yet a third pitch: Forget about phantom dams. If you want to talk about corruption, how about Kenya airways!? It has no planes, the planes flying its colours are owned by individuals we know. The parking bay of KA at Heathrow in London, awarded by the Queen long ago, was sold to a certain royal family of Kenya in 2016! Don't mess with our side, we will mess you back!It is crazy, the corrupt exposing themselves! (Just like in the stand-off between Wafula Chebukati and Ezra Chiloba at the IEBC informed us deep on just how rotten the elections were!) CRYING TOO MUCH WOLF I am afraid the Murkomem line of propaganda will work out like the maize saga. Some will remember how RV maize farmers sat their politicians down and scolded them off, and with vicious mock at that. ---you are cannibals, you eat us alive, shame on you! POST SCRIPT: DCI KINOTI AND RAILA UNDRESSED next: MURKOMEM VS RAILA, FROM MAU WATER HEAD FOREST TO PHANTOM DAMS

BANDIT RULE AND THE NIGHTMARE OF THE VISION THING
What I want to answer, is why we have such hard-working, highly-educated go-getters, yet we are still sinking. Rhetorically: Why are we paddling so hard, yet not moving an inch!? Why are we digging so hard, while in a ditch!?
First I will serve you with two examples of the hardest workers in our town. That town is called Corrupt City. And No, not in mind do I have Haji&Kinoti. Those are chaps of a lesser breed, they are busy bees as they may seem to be, but irrelevant for the purposes of this post. So too are the two Harvard dogs, MoF Rotich and CBK Njoroge.
No, in mind can only be the two Doctorates in cabinet and at the very top of the food chain: Fresh Dr. William Ruto and Old Doc, Fred Matiang'i.
One is recently the de facto Prime Minister, the other his excellency the co-president.
These are the two hardest working and most able public officials in politics today.
Yet here we are: they delivered phantom dams throughout the land at large, and topped it up with a failed irrigation projects (the ksh. 7.2 billion Galana-Kulalu for instance), which should have remedied the plague of hunger. Hunger, sometimes called famine, is still thinning our ranks. Then, among many other insults, only yesterday did they insanely deploy the Kenya Air-force to illegally occupy the top airport of the land, following industrial action by unionised workers. It is like a coup practice for the army.
It then becomes imperative to deconstruct the narrative of HARD WORK as exemplified by the best of the comprador lot, Ruto and Matiang'i. That is why I have to do the VISION thing. And I am going to do the vision thing to reveal how ordinary VISIONS really are, as far as running government is concerned. It is a daily toilet session, a biological instinct like.
THE NIGHTMARE OF THE VISION THING UNDER THE BANDITS, PART TWO
Let us do the vision thing. First on a light touch, to show how ordinary VISIONS really are. They are ordinary in the sense of common sense, no brainiers'. But when countries don't do these ordinary toilet sessions ...... daily sense functions, cleansing rituals, such countries invariably end up in an awful lot of trouble. Countries which (for instance) do not get done plugging theft and avoiding waste, always get bankrupt. They are soon wheeled to the Economic Intensive Care Unit, or, missing out on a benevolent liquidator, disappear in to the abyss of hyperinflation and total ruin.
This means we have to get to the bottom of why the Kenya shilling is insulated from a crash, for the moment. Why, for sooth, is the shilling unbothered by the sorry theft of the imbeciles ostensibly in local command of the Kenyan state?
The answer is, Kenya is a geopolitical gem, and a petty local band of quisling thieves in power, is exactly what the heavens ordered for a successful imperialist control, for a price.
Next:
VISION THING part 3.
FROM IBEA-CO TO EXIM BANK BEIJING

BANDITS AND THE VISION THING part 3.
FROM IBEA-CO TO EXIM BANK BEIJING
I have a nasty habit of keeping tab on how much money a stakeholder is putting up in a project. Once upon a time I spent some cold winters in London going through the remittances from the colonial office to the crown colony of Kenya ----back in them days (before KAU, the forerunner of KANU!)
The settlers were really Mummy's spoilt brats! They were living too large for their own good. The figures spelt doom!
I always think the code SOFT POWER is a misnomer where a shareholder can be proved to have a majority, even controlling share in an enterprise. I have looked at the openly available figures of the US-yearly subsidy to the state of Israel, and concluded if I were Israeli, my daily sleep would be most disturbed. It is a terrifying relationship of dependence. Not interdependence. The figures spell doom. All these lead me to obsess with the details of WHO FINANCES WHAT IN KENYA. Thereafter is when I can take Nairobi politics seriously, if really I could ever be persuaded to do that at all.
The light touch always looks sufficient to cover Nairobi.
You see, methinks the Nairobi crop of hard workers we glimpse flying high in our daily politics, are simply toilers in greed. They are featherers of own nest. They flock together at the treasury for an interfeather's feast of nihilism. They are straight thieves, no more. Bandits. No visionary headaches. Theft can be hard work too you know, but not of the type which will build Kenya. Building Kenya, that is work of another calibre than those bits of sh!t we saw parading their stench in Kirinyaga the other day. Surely they are impatiently waiting to be flushed down the gutter, or, perchance, a historical euthanasia.
Well
Looking at who financed what in Kenya, public sources offer a treasure trove of info and linkages. So when Israel finances GALANA, an Israeli company is awarded the tender; when Italy finances the multi-Kerio dams, an Italian company is awarded the tender; when China EXXIM finances the SGR, China Roads&Bridges is awarded the tender; when the USA kind of wants to punish China's SGR with a six-way double carriage roadway between Mombasa and Nairobi, Bechtel (or is Hurliburton) gets the tender; and, curiously, when it is Chinese funds keeping Kenya afloat and billing state deficits, the IMF&WB maintain the tender to supervise the Ksh.
In this expansive racket of crooked generosity from abroad, it is far from simple greed one is dealing with back home. There is a bigger agenda.
One has to introduce the vision thing into the mish-mash. The vision thing as a class trait, too. How come other states can have their Big Agendas work thousands of kilometres from their shores, while we, here, Ouru Kenyatta can not even have a sh!t dam built in Kiambu, next to his cousin's farm!?
Big five Agenda for legacy in three years my voluminous sh!t in the morning!
Furthermore, it is imperative to disentangle the cocktail of foreign interests operative in Kenya. It is important to interrogate and decode how they interplay, and how this (intersection) of their visions precipitate the predatory crude substrate we call our political and bureaucratic elite. (Watch Macharia flanked by Milosz and Joseph yesterday at JKIA after the police clobbered our beautiful stewardesses to bloodiness).
WHY MUST AFRICA BE RULED BY FILTH?
NB: (why would the Iron Kanzelarin of Germany, even if a fading Angel, insist General Al-Sisi is the best thing to have happened to Egypt since the Aswan High Dam? while with same mouth she told Greek politicians: 'If you do not bother to rise up to the high standards of public accountability we German politicians are accustomed to before our people and electorate, we will have no option but to continue downgrading you to less than our lesser equals!' ---That was when the heaviest doctorates of Greece (the likes of Yannis Varoufakis) were stung to the bone. They fumed and threatened to leave the EU, but Merkel just shrugged. She had a copy of the forensic audit of the Greek treasury showing how for a decade the Athenian elite had colluded with American banks to cook books, steal money, institute fraud and, surely knowingly, prime their country for the beaks of scavengers. Greece was a rotting toe the EU under Germany could afford to cut loose. Go!
But when the same Merkel met Dos Santos of Angola, yeah the father of our richest gal in the world, Isabella, the same straight speaking Iron Lady giggled like a curious virgin feeling her way around hard members for the first time. She as much as claimed Dos Santos was God's gift to Angola! --Why this double standard!?
Yes, when it is filth, is when it is the best leader for an African land!) --Do we now know why!?
That point is now taken. What is not yet taken in, is: to what extent do foreign interests go to MAKE SURE the FILTH stays on top of Africa today.
This is why in a post asking why the dog didn't bark (Why the Opus-Dei-led CBK didn't flag all those illicit billions flowing through the banking system in an obvious laundering scam of stolen public money I opted to state ---HAHAHAAAA! It is neither Ouru's brief nor Kenya's brief to appoint the Central Banker of Kenya.
NB: (And you will remember much as he desired, Mwai Kibaki couldn't fire from the Central Bank, the rotten professor, Njugunah Ndung'u. By now you should know who told him to his face he couldn't. Howbeit Wanjiku never hears people asking for her hand, like Raila or Ruto, open up with her on these kinds of meetings? ---The meetings where they are given their orders face-to-face, and dared like the latest Greek premier Alexander Tsipras was in Brussels: 'we are open ASAP for negotiations on the GREXIT date, suggest!')
In the same way, His Excellency Mwai Kibaki, even as he declared to LOOK EAST, couldn't dare tell off the IMF&WB, 'FakYou, I will manage without you. Goodbye Old Masters!'
No, nothing doing of the sort, but like Tsipras of Greece, Mwai Kibaki coiled his tail and went back to rigging elections to continue the role apportioned KANU at independence.
And so I am game: fokking Othaya mental poodle was always the gutless worm Ken Matiba dubbed him for. You see, one can't always do light touches when tackling the history of a subjugated land. It is a traumazone where tempers will be lost aplenty.
THE APPARENT INDIFFERENCE OF THE KENYA SHILLING
Some were surprised the Kenya shilling didn't take into account the troubles of the finance minister this week, Henry Rotich! Perish the thought, our national currency would show sensitivities related to the fate of a lowly bandit thief like Henry Rotich!
Okay, that is a light touch!
But the truth is, even diaspora remittance is a heavier stick than Jubilee antics to beat the shilling! But in the main, decisions in Nairobi have no bearing on the Kenyan shilling! Whether the Kenyan public debt is sustainable or not, is an EXIM BANK conclusion or decision in concert with other creditors abroad. These other creditors are like the guys who buy and sell the famous Eurobonds (guaranteed by the IMF or they wont touch). These are the forces deciding how much Old School reserve currency can be awarded to the CBK as standby EMERGENCY FACILITY, should the situation demand it (stabilisation by dollar infusion). ---Gosh, I was told the IMF&WB collect their own statistics on Kenya and other banana republics,and this is the basis of the recent spat between CBK Njoroge and his domina, Madam Lagarde. eh! fundamental miscalculation like in .... is it 7B or 21B for the phantom dams!?
'Which figures are you using that you make a public fool of me?' the ever demure Opus Dei boy blew his top for once at his masters from abroad!? 'What a vile word has escaped the barrier of your teeth? thy silly boy,' came the terse rebuke. 'Don't you know ever since the Greek Central bank brazenly furnished cooked figures to everybody ---and we at the IMF knew all along they were at it, we have public appearances to keep when dealing with SH!THOLE economies like yours! Remember we insure your Eurobonds and you are on the verge of issuing another. So be the nice arzole you always are, fart less!'
And that was that!
Yeah, on that score, the issue is not whether Kenya can afford to build the SGR or not. It is whether China can afford to at that 'artificial' price. That statement works down to whether China thinks the COMMISSION paid out as corruption money to the Kenyan bureaucracy and political machinery, is a worthwhile investment FOR EXXIM. This commission, also euphemistically called facilitation, is the bit that so inflates the Kenyan SGR price. It takes the costs beyond Ethiopia's and Morocco's rail projects which are better but cheaper. And scare off Uganda and Rwanda. And if it is the same bank funding all the rails, you think their econometrists are stupid enough not to calculate what goes for the true figure!? (So you learnt they had tipped in Mombasa port for a collateral, and by disagreement, the jurisdiction falls to a court in Beijin.) Aint that neat and tight!?
And nobody told you that! neither Ruto nor Ouru as they proudly flagged off the trial run of the first locomotive! Nor did the stellar doctorates from US Ivy-league colleges utter a word. Not Rotich, not Thugge, not Njoroge. So I say quisling will be vermin, and vermin will be vermin, summum cum laude from wherever or not.
Simply said, the lowest Chinese clerk at EXIM bank knows, if the SGR decisionS were left to Nairobi, it would end up being a phantom railway, whatever the heavenly price paid. With EXIM making the decision in Beijing, the SGR may be twice expensive, but it is there on time. Rotich and arap Mashamba could buy all the land plots in its way and sell them to the NLC at 500% inflated price, but Chinese slave labour inched the tracks to Nairobi in time. That kind of push-power decision is not made in Nairobi.
Again, it is fundamental to import this division of labour about these these projects. Who decides what? A study of how the National Oil Company of Angola co-owned with one of China's own, worked, gives a hint. Regulated in iron was what percentage the Angolans could steal the much they wanted, and what was off limits. Like you instruct your naughty kids: that is the cookie jar in the kitchen, take your fill and risk diabetes. But this cabinet here is Daddy's bar and Whiskey Investment. You touch I cut your little prick!'
Eeeh, that is why some class traits are called INFANTILE.
And for the dams whose story is now the hot item in Nairobi, you only need to know something about modern Italy to recognise from the start they were phantom projects. Italy is the land of Bunga-Bunga Berlusconi. Not even garbage is collected on the streets. It is like Kidero's Nairobi.
And talking about Dr. Evans. Kidero didn't build a single extra toilet in any slum in Nairobi, so to speak. Truly I assume Nairobi county has enough financial muscle to afford a few of such conveniences in the sprawling slums, just as it affords a fleet of SUV's which would rival the ministerial car park in Dos Santos' Angola -----the horde of Benzes is what was making Merkel giggle on her rendezvous with Santos. The Mercedez plant in her backyard was roaring, literally, her labour force well catered for, and these were the days when textbooks upped the natural rate of unemployment from the historic low of 5%, all the way to past 15%!
Currently, Nairobi can not afford a modern public transport system, the model we saw in Miguna Miguna's manifesto. But this kind of integrated commuter system is actually a primary requirement of any modern city. Dare I say, that it will come anyway, and soon, because China desires it and can afford it. It is like the British and Germans built railways through Africa centuries ago at the height of their industrial expansion and colonial exploits. Yours and my great, great great grandfathers didn't have a say in those projects. The iron snake just rolled through their lush farms sending livestock helter-skelter even if our perplexed ancestors shot arrows at the smokey monster.
Dr. Evans Kidero's fabled looting of Nairobi is such a wooden arrow at an Iron clad future, passing him by. (See there, O Proud Luo Nation, the richest Luo in Kenya, looked at from Chinese bank clerk's perspective, is but an infantile piece of sh!t. A dog barking at an approaching storm, same as Henry Rotich and his phantom dams! Sh!tbags!) The modern Nairobi transport system will come, and not in fantasy land like the Kerio dams. Those were contracted to dead countries like Italy. China is rising. And therein lies a difference. And the dams will be built too, at the leisure of China if Ouru Kenyatta continues to wallow in his incapacitation and nuisance-less-ness.
NB: It is important to understand why China didn't go for the dams of the rift valley. Even as she is accused of a vacuum clean-up of all major infrastructure projects in Africa.
NEXT: PART FOUR (THE NIGHTMARE OF THE VISON THING UNDER A BANDIT REGIME)
THE JUGGLING OF INTERESTS

PERSPECTIVES, IN THE CONTEXT OF CONTINUED BANDIT RULE
Major FOOTNOTES. 1. THE CHINESE BLUE PRINT FOR INFRASTRUCTURE.
1A. Juggling interests. THE IMF AND THE WB HIRED BY THE CHINESE? Some will remember the SAP days when these nannies really were Nannies from Hell.
SAP for Troglodytes, is Strategic Adjustment Program.
It is a good episode to study closely. I have my suspicions who else has been studying it closely! Just in case!
Well
Deng Isiah Ping put it as crossing the river step-by-step by feeling the stones underneath. I am thus cognizant of how careful, even overshy, the Chinese are and have been in Africa. Contrary to popular Western hysteria, the Chinese verily do mind the egos of fading colonial powers, especially the French and the British in Africa. They did in Niger with the French nuclear energy company (Arriva). Arriva used to own every government of Niger and every Politician in it. The French stationed troops there to enforce their client regime and protect their Uranium interest of France. A vital national security issue in Paris.
They did too, in Nigeria with the Shell-BP oil blocks. (a section of the Nigerian powerblock was ready to massively reduce if not kick out the Europeans and go East!). Tales of such Chinese restraint abound from all over the continent. For instance, here at home, the story of how they 'gifted' the Turkana oil blocks to the 'Irish Tullow' is not yet told. But it can be summarized in one line: horse-trading, give and take.
NB: As the reality of Brexit sets in, Britain will be supplicating herself in private before China, soliciting favors. We already saw such an act of ingratiation, when the UK refused to join the USA in the Huawei boycott. And is currently urging Canada's Trudeau to stop being stupid, holding Huawei's CEO hostage on behalf of the renegade John Bolton. This is a British report I am quoting. What they are not telling you is that the likes of NOkia and Erickson whom they call ESTABLISHED, are not the competition. Huawei only fears SAMSUNG in this Field. It is an Asian homerun.
FORWARDS NEVER BACKWARDS EVER, THE AU DANGEROUS SCENARIO
Let me put it like this. The state of the African heads is sleeping; the African heads of state are sleeping. They have no imagination and no future pitch. On infrastructure for instance, if the AU heads sign-ON, the TOTAL INTEGRATED PROGRAM FOR AFRICA INFRASTRUCTURE (TIPAI) would immediately go official and Turbo. And it is just a subset of …...... OBOR (or the global BELT ROAD INITIATIVE). China doing the heavy lifting, the USA the sabotage .... of course aided by Harvard-trained maggots like Henry Rotich.
—-It is important to recognize the fundamentals, the mental dynamics of how a Kennedy-School-trained Macro Economist, and the reputed best math kid to have emerged from the Kerio Valley, who rose to be the finance minister of a prospective African giant, became the despicable bandit who stole the money meant for a transformative super project in his home area, Kerio.
--If we do not get to the bottom of this HORROR, all thoughts speaking, we can not switch ON. Which is why OBI OKONKWO by Chinua Achebe should be compulsory reading again: WHY, WHY WHY!? everybody in the courtroom asked themselves: (NO LONGER AT EASE!)
I am game for my part.
Many Africans –--too young or lazy to take a look at the grand masterplans the deluded master races of Germany and England had for colonial Africa before 1914---- don't believe it until they visit Africa Special Technical Universities in China.
The engineering, planning and architectural designs on a continentinental scale, integrated, is already a completed work. Damn, even Nairobi's tram and subway system is gathering dust in the software vaults of Mandarin algorithms. The plan is there, merely waiting implementation if the AU dares, a $500 billion purse hit, for starters. (Of course the Grand Inga Dam alone in the Congo takes home $100 billion. So better tighten up your peanut scales!)
—-Some of the infrastucture networks are: the Mombasa-Douala Corridor (railroad) via Kisangani; the Dakar-Abuja-Bangui corridor, then Bangui to Kisangani to join the Brazzaville/Kinshasha-Kisangani-Juba-AddisAbbaba-Djibouti corridor.
Then Maputo-Kinshasha, Dar-to-Loanda corridor; Alexandria-Cairo-Bangui corridor; Bangui-Algiers.
There is also stuff like the (already mentioned) Congo Inga Super Dam –--called The Monster in Mandarin.
When we visit Sun Yet Sen's papers, where he thinks of something to dislodge the Great Wall of China from its iconic place in Chinese consciousness, we will see why the Grand Inga is code named The Monster in Mandarin.
It is not difficult to see the template of China's approach: If Mao's great leap forward was a premature act of faith, it was still an idea whose time had arrived. It could be postponed but not killed without killing the nation. It would be Deng Hsiao Ping who would fulfill it:
the GREAT LEAP FORWARD.
Much more careful, older and wiser, technically grounded and politically more cautious than Chairman Mao's robust post-revolutionary will-power personality, Leader Deng is everything from Jason navigating the Gyrae rocks to Odysseus Scylla and Charybdis, if not returning alive from Hades to sail home. Of course all as the gods had willed it in the first place!
Therefore, if a Eurocentrist blueprint sans 1873 Berlin conference existed for Africa, we know and live what happened to the masterplan, and why. It was our great leap forward from abroad.
So, the new Chinese caution is the learning from history to moderate ones arrogance, and, dangerously, know when not to throw out the child with bathtub Yap. But honestly, fellow Kenyans -----forgetting the LUO PIVOT for a momemt where I am as I write this---- how can one moderate their arrogance when between them LORDS OF THE BOOKS, super doctorates from USA Ivy-leagues, Rotich, Thugge and Njoroge, put in charge of financially overseeing a few ponds in their backyard, collapse into banditry and, caught, look at you in all innocence and tell you ksh.21 billion can't buy a sh!tpit!?
This is what has been terrifying me the whole week. And I don't terrify easy.
It is the BOKO HARAM terror. Western Ivy leagues like yours truly, have lost bragging rights in Africa, thanks to maggots like Rotich.
It is the LOOK EAST season.
NB: You can find as SIMULATION online, irrigation and canalization schemes covering the plains of Sudan which, lessons from TANA Gulana Kulani learned, project food crop productions which outstrip the grain belt of America in her heydays!
So, of future presidents like these local bandits of ours, what is Willam Ruto when his entourage steals dam money from their own backyard, and when caught, breathe fire and brimstone that it is all a witchhunt!?
Vermin will be vermin. Ancient regime soot is my historical verdict. And that is the calibre, series of leader, of whom those interests' hell-bent on keeping Africa down, will insist upon at the top.
Let's keep thinking straight even as we do stupid things.

FUTURE OPTIONS. FOOTNOTE 1C Juggling interests.THE explosive legacy of China's Sun Yet Sen: Cutting the head of a dying boa (constrictor snake). First, the detractors before we get serious. 1. and some good press It was the man known as the founder of modern Chinese nationalism, SUN YET SEN (12 Nov 1866 –- 12 march 1925) , who, at the beginning of last century, concretised the age-old dream into a plan: Damming the three gorges to tame the Yang-Tse. Soon as he rose to interim leadership, one of Sun's first acts was to commission a technical committee to get to work on the idea. This was part of his grand scheme for the national revival of China. But it was historically too early. China had a grave political problem, and related power disputes to solve within herself. The carcass of the Qing dynasty was a can of too many worms to clean up. Such dams and many other grand projects in the mind of Sun Yet Sun to modernise China, were thus reduced to pipedreams and hallucinations: megalomanic flights of heat. For first, Chairman Mao and his red compatriots had to settle an argument with General Chiang Kai Shek and his whites. This would probably be the greatest decision in modern Chinese history. That ideological argument would run for a bloody half a century. But at last it came to an end with the Communists winning in the mainland. The whites went to Taiwan. Mao Tung, the de facto new head of the newly proclaimed Peoples Republic of China, succeeding the Republic of China launched in 1911, went to the archives in 1949 to retrieve documents from the past. He came across what last had been in the in-tray of Sun Yet, who had expired on 12 March 1925 in Beijing. Mao found some moth-infested and rat-gnawed files, and these were inundated with new-china commentary which indicated these studies, and this subject, had really been to the heart of Sun Yet Sen. These were the reports the short-lived president had managed to collect on the three gorges project. Mao was smitten. He was captivated by the 'MEGALOMANIC PROJECTIONS' of the prematurely dead predecessor, and even as his GREAT LEAP FORWARD failed, Mao would continue to flog the Three Gorges Dam, Plan. Sun Yet Sen had said it would be an engineering feat to erase the monumental status of the Great Wall of China in the minds of the people. Another wonder of the world from China! The Chinese people stand up! The three gorges dam rise up! Chairman Mao too was long dead by 1992. But the dream was in good hands, headed by the last of the immortals, Deng Hsiao Ping. ((Guang'an, 22 Augustus 1904 - Peking, 19 February 1997). There is a joke I heard. The grapevine (folkloric) name of the dam is Sun-Yet-Sen. But that could land in you jail if you call it so publicly. The new guys running China prefer ed the neutral name, Three Gorges Dam. Yap. One never knows which historical toes popular names can step on, to the winch of the powers that be. NB: I remember a hospital in Kisumu popularly called Russia, and KANU banned that name under Kenyatta, the other Kenyatta, snr.! –---'We never boast', (–--Deng Hsiao Ping), 'unfortunately the size of our country, over 800 million people, always makes it look like a threatening roar even when we state simple facts!' AN ENGINEERING BOAST OR A NATIONAL VITAL? And so once more, we will have to discuss the politics of the stalled GRAND INGA PROJECT in the Congo. #40,000 MW. The ultimate monster in HYDRO-POWER generation. There is an anecdote: Ke-Qiang (Chinese Premier now I think) as he looked at Kabila, told three African Presidents during one of those FOCAC get-togethers. 'If it is your decision, Sirs', make it. You want it you get it. Working estimate of costs EUR.100 billion. Then we start tomorrow!' Now, do you think that piece of election-rigging, wine-and-dine addicted cheat, cheap-kick-back artist known as Joseph Kabila, is worth discussing something like that with!? I think Ke-Qiang was mocking Africa and, correctly read, because one of the Africa's strongest men in audience was Paul Kagame of the fabled Rwanda, showing our best-and-most competent his true place in history: the dog's kernel. Lapping up bones thrown at him by his owners. And so we come back to our beef. For all politics are local. THE KENYAN COMPRADOR AND THE PHANTOM DAMSThat China tale is to keep things in perspective. It helps us map out WHAT LEADERSHIP we have which delivers phantom dams. It is a zero leadership and on the historical scale, childish, called INFANTILE. And after this serious post, we will review the utterances of the INFANTILE LOT over the weekend. I am sure various funerals provided platforms atop which stupidity could be spewed with venomous abandon. A a rich harvest of nonsense. POST SCRIPT: Anyway: Remember after completing her dam-building epoch, crowned by the Several Gorges Dam, China has an excess capacity in human capital, ie DAM-related technocrats. She has millions of super dam engineers she can EXPORT to Africa. This excess capacity or human capital can be dumped to Africa for a day wage cheaper than a Nairobi Kayamkono. –-No!? (and delivery the Rift Valley dams earlier than projected). No!? By 2020 China plans to have 430 gigawatts of installed hydro-power capacity, more than Europe and the US combined Raila Odinga and Ouru Kenyatta met Xi JinPin, and the two Kenyans remained tight-lipped. Kwani the two Nairobi princes' think ASIA INTELLIGENCE does not declassify quick the trivial contents of talks with prefects from far-off provinces of Empire!? China was giving them them the lee way, or the rope to hang themselves. And now we have hanged ourselves. I mean the Kalenjin wing of the Jubilee bandits have led us by the nose into a phantom dams trap. Their unthinking greed has delivered us to the machinations of the Italian Mafioso state. And the shoe-in president they insist is the future Guiding Light, does not seem to recognise how deep the sh!tpit is wherein he has lead the nation now as co-president. It is a deep tragedy. These Kenyan dams are small scale. They are no big deal if one really wants them built –--Ask China! There would be corruption of course, as should be, because Kenyan bureaucrats and politicians as rotten as they are, have to be bribed to do what they should do –--facilitate national economic rise. That is the price of vermin. If you have lice you must scratch somehow. But under China the three or so mini dams would be delivered on time, like the SGR! They would not be paper dams, paid for in real, liquid cash. But as I said that is not the point for today. The point for today is to ponder soft power. And verily the nature of the parley which still sees China outsource the management of the Kenyan shilling to the old nannies, IMF and WB. That is the question is: can Ruto accept the dog-cage Chinese capital would build for him like Dos Santos did in Angola. Here are the amounts you can steal. Here are your bones to chew, dog, and no more. Then he can be president in this era.I mean guys, check our so-called trade balances and debt portfolios. How much power do you reckon the president of Kenya has when he faces creditors? We can't steal the way we do and expect not to be treated as silly children by the big bad wide world. Now, lets go back to entertainment: THE WEEKEND's HARVEST OF BANDIT NONSENSE

CONCLUSION (After four parts).
Maggots like Rotich, predator barons like Ouru and Ruto with their phantom dams, not to forget the rest of the duplicituous cast like Raila and the fake opposition, are, considering the historical agenda and budget of Africa, equivalent to lice in the pubic hair of Mr. Kenya. They itch at an embarrassing place, and are scratched. Occasionally they are smashed between two thumb nails. It is a shameful episode denoting careless hygiene, beggaring a discrete dose of toxic powder or ointment, but nothing life challenging. No, it is not even worth a visit to the dispensary. It is easily self-remedied.
These scum are little blood suckers like jiggers hibernating under the toe of dame Africa. They are irritants yes, but minor. Don't be fooled into despair, they look an unconquerable epidemic across Africa, but at a several years running development budget of $1000 billion, their pilfering is containable as a bad day's business loss. Their theft from their phantom projects and white elephants in every African country is small change. It is a tick's fill from the dewlap of a stallion.
And, vindu vichenjanga, the hunt is on. The science of hygiene has spread. Even the old-fashioned, cold-blooded way. Yeah, you know what they say about old brooms.

TWO ARTICLES TO PROVOKE A MOMENT OF REFLECTION FAST FORWARD The truth is simple. Food will be grown where it can be grown cheapest. That is Africa. If Africans can not do it, THEY WILL BE MOVED OVER BY OTHERS WHO CAN DO IT!
Looking at GULANI FAILURE, and the tale of Phantom dams elsewhere, Or the Kisumu OIl JETTY, and here we are with the same people r unning to be voted in again to do the same ---collapse every meaningful project, it is obvious where they are delivering us to: total control by others more determined to get results, squeeze out the last margin from productive factors.
That is why the French will build and run Nairobi Nakuru highway, including man the TOLL STATIONS. And the Chinese employ their own conductors on the SGR to control tickets!
One has to face what these facts means: it means, even in bed, Kenyan women verily need foreigners to know orgasms! As Achebe would say, the Kenyan is absent from any performance issue!
