THE HUSTLER VS DYNASTIES FAULTLINE EXPERTLY MANIPULATED BY A FAKEWilliam Ruto put his finger on it. And pressed. The break. And he held the press and continued to press. The advantage. Behold, the pain tore through the ranks of the Old Guard. The consequence is Ouru the Kenyatta dynast has been spooked into abandoning the public celebration of his father, Jomo. Yeah. Only a couple of months back, CBK (governor) Patrick Njoroge was taking photos of KICC for his (and may be our) new bank notes. Njoroge insisted on an angle which pontificated the statue of the so-called founding father of Corruption. I don't think it was his decision anyway, but, as an exercise in formality, I will pretend Dr Patrick is his own boss. So I say the Central Banker became a convert to the Jomo cult, temporarily jetisoned stuffy catholicism and developed an irresistible urge to further hype Jomo's mystique, wherefore his insistence on that angle of the lens. And CLICK! there it is the new bank notes. .... Or may be not .... if Okiya Omtatah wins. THE 48TH STATE OF COUNTYNB: 1----Senator Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. told the gentle inquisitor Tony Gachoka, that Corruption has become the 48th county in Kenya, and is the most autonomous of all! In deed C48 is much more powerful than the Nairobi of Miko Songo. nb2. ---Critically suffering introspection, since this is the second republic and Raila Odinga is the alleged father of the bastard, one might want to apportion the (post-second-liberation) blame more on Tinga than on the founder of the first corrupt republic, Sir Jomo!)3. In the run to 2022, there is already a no-one is holy propaganda game on. The leading narrative unto which Kenya's contradictions have conflated themselves, is currently The Dynasties versus The Hustlers. And in this paradigm has the Central Banker done himself, his bank and his new notes no favour. He has sleep walked into the arms of The Dynasties and supplicated himself, no doubt in Opus Dei style. Very good boy. The CBK under Njoroge continues to fan the fires of the Kenyatta myth. But having spotted the weak link in the chain ---say mass impoverishment and disenchantment in the face of dynastic opulence, the opportunistically gifted billionare Singh has carved himself into an unlikely hero. One to scare the living daylights out of the dynasts. He is a charlatan of course, but that is little comfort, because in the absence of a genuine or heavyweight pundits to raise aloft the banner of republicanism, anybody with the guts goes. Desperate situations make strange bed fellows. As we say in the mouth of the Luo, gima nitieree e lwedo ema ibotogo thuol.In dire straits, even mercenaries with their chameleon hearts will do. NB: The dynasts can not sustain the critique: MUIZI NI MUIZI! For, for instance, what are the Raila courtisans Oburu and Jakoyo with those RAILWAY land plots in Kisumu!? Muizi ni muizi is a flat rate condemnation. Whether a Moi or Kenyatta 1/2 a million hectares or a paltry 1/2 a hectare of Oburu, wembe ni ile ile. So William can sleep easy on his billions worth looted city plots. At least no dynast will dare: MUIZI NI MUIZI! it would be a devastating SELF-POTRAIT. (For those who read both the Ndung'u report and the Kroll accounting report!) Still There is need for a republican narrative in Kenya. There is need for a meritocratic dispensation in Kenya. There is a need to break the social stratification which is threatening to solidify into a caste system. Why are we truly celebrating KEN OKOTH? I wager coz he broke out of the slums. He escaped the modern tomb of doom. A tall order. A republican narrative ... would be .... equal opportunity for all, from birth. And primarily that means a functional standardised education in every hook and nook of the republic. Not this for others Or, thinking of the infant mortality rates, equal survival rates between the children of slum dwellers and those of aristocrats and oligarchs. But there is no man nor woman to articulate this republican motto ---Egalite and so forth--- with the fury and passion it deserves. So a charlatan is a bird at hand which will do the worth of two, in the bush. Yeah The onus has fallen on Ruto to call the bluff on the dynasties' system. And he can know. He is one of the greatest beneficiaries of the rot and corruption of the Moi's and Kenyatta's. He first became a billionare under the Moi 1 ---think of that Jirongo scam, then aligned with Odinga to dethrone Moi from Kalenjin paramountcy, then jumped to Kenyatta to become Uhuruto and a trillionare in what some --like John Githong'o--- described as the most thieving regimes in Africa outside oil-rich countries! Yes, it is him such a man who says the dynasties must fall! It is funny. Then you when you think, it is dark. Even ominous. The system built to perpetuate dynasties at the top must fall. So that more of those talents born at the bottom, like Ken Okoth, rise to the top. Yes, the rising rate of talent from the slums to the top, also indexed as upward mobility, is currently at a zone marked stagnation. As the fabled African middle class expands like a balloon pumped up by Chinese turbo Capital, statistics of new recruits into that middle class tell a sorry tale of urban stratification, state capture by bureaucrats and their nepotistic network and mpangos. There's even gentrification, some of it per ethnic profile. Not to mention debt servitude. Here is a hint of desperate times Who is to blame for this sorry state of circumstances? There are as many answers as you like, but the ruling class in toto usually takes the blame. As public anger rises, for instance at corruption in Kenya, that is when factions emerge within the elite and try to outdo one another in proclaiming their righteousness. When the elite as a cohesive group fail to deflect public anger to an external scapegoat, one has to be found within. In Kenya there is no longer a foreign element to blame, not even Al-Shabaab. The competing factions must therefore be very creative in fashioning a scapegoat. The pressure can even force some faction to flirt with the genuine aspirations of the people. A very dangerous move for a parasitic school of blood suckers. And that is what Ruto is flirting with now. It is like a perversion which nevertheless carries within it enough rational desires to fascinate, animate and motivate a wide audience. --Dynasties must fall! The Hustler nation must rise! Punda imechoka na dynasties, pungunza mzigo. Eka atonga mayot mondo oyombgo koth!(Make the political bureaucracy lean and mean, and the government ship-shape for a dash to the future!) Some dynasty apologists have concentrated in the fact that Ruto himself is an oligarch, a cartel insider, a top parasite and equally an aspiring dynasty in the open. He is grooming his son for politics and his daughter got a --high commissioner--- government job in a process which had all the hallmarks of nepotism! But such criticism miss the point in this phase of the game: a true message can be spooked by a habitual liar. On a day. And on that day, this is the worst of outcomes: while his detractors think O there he goes crying wolf again, the wider mass at large give the wolf-cry another interpretation, independent of the elite import. The people recognise the habitual liar this day is a bull's eye shot. Dynasties have formed an iron ring around the bowl of cream and are choking off the republican ideal. They must be stopped ----dead in their tracks as the saying goes. That is the fireball of historical republicanism. And it is not a force to joke with. It is therefore not for nothing that the critique on dynasties as mouthed by William Ruto, a not-so convincing .... conviction republican, nor thoroughbred meritocrat, has forced Ouru Kenyatta to relegate the further commemoration of his father, Jomo Kenyatta ---who the central bank thinks must be on the currency, to a private family affair. Trust Sir Wlliam to continue hammering this weak link in his most formidable opponents. It is a subterfuge form in which real social grievances are finding an airing. Beans and beads needed to divine. All shaman's of the political bug come, it is a free for all. And I will be back.

OKAY, RUTO SAVED WAIGURU! BUT WHO IS IT WHO MADE SURE WAIGURU NEEDED A SAVING?It is all in the open! I wanted to hide this. But I failed. It was a Jukwaa post, April 2 2015. It just missed the fools' day with an inch. I wanted to hide it because I nearly lost my sense of humour, and my temper along. Yet it is merely a tabloid tale about vermin. Vermin shouldn't worry one too much, unless they threaten an EPIDEMIC. And this is also available in the public domain. We now know thanx to the divorce proceedings, how Marianne Kitany saved Waruguru by amorous guile on a very usable tool, the little toy Mpigman Mithika Linturi. A the end of the following DailyNation report, there is a line savour. So. 1. Ruto's office through Marianne Kitany stole over 200M of public money and used it to manipulate the broke Mpig Linturi, through an amorous deception with Marianne, to bribe enough Mpigs to impeach Waruguru. 2. The same Marianne Kitany moved to save Waruguru from the impeachment she herself had set in motion. --There is a name for that kind of game. Like when King David filled of lust for Uriah's wife, used Joab to murder Ureah so that he, the King, could comfort and inherit the widow. These are the kind of games we men play for lust and power, which may the same thing to males. HOW RUTO SAVED ANNE WAIGURU FROM MITHIKA LINTURIThat time she, Anne Mumbi, was the cabinet minister for Devolution. She was not yet enmeshed in the first NYS scam but was already attracting killer-shots. She was conducting a scorch-earth purge of the old loop to make way for new looters. And then there was the curios from the sidelines, where she was perpetually teased as the president's squeeze, or side dish. The (Igembe South Mpig) Linturi motion could just sail through. Mumbi was in deep trouble. Now we know what happened next, from the horse's very mouth. 5 years later. But it wasn't Maryanne Keitany in a demonstration of GIRL POWER, or matriarchal solidarity that saved Mumbi's kin that day. It was rather something truly tabloid and ancient. It was a most cynical and cold-blooded plot. It was the use of female guile to lure male lust into the pit of defeat and sorrow. I am reminded of the Luo, who have a story about a Rocky warrior, Magere, who was duped by a foreign woman pretending love, yet on a kill mission to discover and neutralise the prowess of his war powers. Verily to bloody dust did he fall with a thud, his purpose for the day defeated to rubble. Mithika Linturi may not be much of a warrior, but his neutralisation by his darling on his big day is a variation of the theme. We now have it on public record confessed, that the now senator but formerly Franklin (Igembe South) Mithika Linturi was overwhelmed by the charms of Marianne Keitany and only woke up late in the day in a distant lodging from Nairobi. By then he was long time barred. You see, you have to be a man of the world to crack the case and get the details the confession omitted in the sitting. This was a political operation. Love was merely a weaponised emotion, merely a subterfuge for other purposes. That means there had to be contingency .... should love fail. Imagine how mercenary and brutal the heart of Maryanne Keitany really must be to pull this off. Ruto's choice of chief of staff was exquisite. Morally rotten to the core. Now, if the men at Ruto's office were cold-blooded, seedy and emotionally dislocated enough to use Maryanne Keitany's love-life as a prostitute's distraction, they would surely be ruthless enough to make sure Mithika didn't change his mind, nor wake up in time to make it to Nairobi to move the motion. No half measures therefore. Any serious lawyer who has been through life would ----have researched the day to minute details so as to----- ask Keitany straight: did you (let) spike his drink? drug him otherwise? Did he rise to the occasion? Perform like a bull!? Is it not so that he passed out!? My wit is the Mpig woke up disoriented. And soon recognised he had taken a serpent to love. But worse was to come. The realisation William Ruto, another man, could order the woman in his bed to betray their love. --But then, a Mpig is a form of vermin. A low-life thing. Bu these are not the lessons of these tabloid lessons teach the land. The political class is farting a lot. They manufacturing spaceloads of scandals to distract the people. It is like jet fighters which release flares for heat-seeking missiles to chase in the wild-goose way. They deflect the negative energies of the people from full impact on the true nature of their crimes. So how come I am not alarmed at this national indulgence in comical melodrama by our political class? But these MATUSI are just the stench of the rotting body mass clogging the pathway of Africa ahead. These are the breaking sounds of the collapsing of a whole elite. ---And that is why, into that VACUUM at the top, China has moved in to take care of necessary business. Check the GDP of Kenya, then factor this in: If China did not fund the SGR from Narok to Kisumu, then it wouldn't come. Then find out in today's terms what the GDP of England was when she set out to conquer the whole world! Rule all her waves! When you do that math you will easily see the rationalisation of the term VERMIN for these things treating us to daily matusi instead of real, go-getter politik Cont.

THE PARTNERSHIP: PRESIDENT MATIANG'I VERSUS PM KINYUA: BEHIND THE SCENES(Ruto as VP without portfolio). The reporting goes Fred Matiang'i has been added another feather to his cap. This is after the latest mini reshuffle of the cabinet. Poor Kiunjuri, a bit like Echesa Rashid. But Dr. Fred will now be in charge too, of the PRESIDENTIAL DELIVERY UNIT. This was hitherto domiciled at State House itself. Effectively then, all government business having been brought under his supervision earlier, the presidency's remaining hobbies (with which the idle Ouru still twiddled with at State House) are now, too, officially delegated to Fred. From acting president, it effectively makes him executive president. Truly Mr. Fixit. --This races the --PUNGUZA OR ONGEZA--- question: for what, really, is Mr. Kenyatta still being FULLY paid?But, asides that, there is a small problem. And No, it is not William Ruto. Even as he insists he is in charge when Ouru is absent, so far as power goes the Hustler is now a discharged man. Consequently is he totally free to campaign for 2022. His latest defiance was to condole with the (shortly arrested and freed) Nandi senator, Samson Cherargaei. Only yesterday did the senator re-enforce the blood-curdling undertones: 'if you refuse to vote for William Ruto and you are in the Rift Valley, we will come for you that day. We are profiling, building a data base!'That is of course a bottom line message to the Kikuyus of the Rift. But Uasin Gishu women rep Gladys Boss Shollei was the urbane and sophisticated variant: she moderated thus: three elections to a dog the Kalenjin community voted for William Ruto personally, not for Jubilee. (meaning Kirinyaga Anne Mumbi Kamotho should revise her history!) However, these are not the problematics I am talking about on the occasion of Dr. Fred assuming over the PDU, Presidential delivery Unit. It is an open secret Ouru was always out of his depth anyway. His total abdication is therefore a kind of blessing in disguise! But The problem I am talking about is this: even as cabinet has been reorganised to confirm Fred Matiang'i as the executive president, he has no finance ministers. Ekur Yatani is merely marking time, still. So too is the guy in Thugge's former office (Julius Muia). However competent he be, he is a mere 'figurant' ---stand-in dummy. Howbeit money is in the heart of government business. And temporary men are dogs that don't bite. So what is up at finance? (why the designed limbo!?) NB: Last time there was a limbo in the transition from the Kibaki GCG to the Uhuruto first term, cartel infiltrators embedded deep in the state treasury used the vacuum to insert great looting devices into the financial vitals of Kenya. That is how, for instance, the SGR trippled in price! And a raft of compromising deals were entered into, forcing the nation into significant loses. That was also when fake men were delegated to SIGN CBA'S with workers which the courts would later declare invalid because of that very reason!These fine details one must know, and ponder. That is where, for those with long memories, there is no need for this introduction. The name is Kinyua, Joseph Kinyua. So what about Joseph Kinyua? Here is the inescapable. In other words, Kinyua's apparent demotion by the rise of Matiang'i first to the premiership and then to acting presidency, has been so that he can specialise in what he does best: the ministry of finance. ---30 years of experience at state finances, of which ten of them as the permanent secretary and another five as the key advisor to the Central Bank is what is called 'argument' in operations. Lay men talk of credentials. (Argument is the ability, usually in bloody combat, to combine intellect and experience and instinct to read the battlefield several steps ahead of all other combatants, and arrange the deaths accordingly!) We are tallking rock solidity here. If you want who has power in Kenya. Joseph Kinyua is your man still. And, if you forgot, still as intact as a zealot's faith in the Almighty is the ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE Mr. Kenyatta has always had in Kinyua from those days Kenyatta was a fresher minister of finance under Kibaki's bloated GCG. In fact the fellowship is still as infectious and as rampant as it was in the beginning. --Permanent. My wit is they all know in cabinet it is Mr. Kinyua supervising Dr. Matiang'i. It is called institutional advantage: yes prime minister mr. president if you remember the witty british comedy. Joseph Kinyua has one of the most extraordinary characters one will ever find in powerful men. The ability to be EVER SELF DEPRECIATING. The ability to completely blend in the background as if one were furniture. The ability to, without apparent offence, absorb humiliation from juniors who have no sense to read the jungle and recognise they will be the meal in tomorrow's menu, even as they delude themselves as Kings of the jungle today. (Francis Kimemia was such a junior who misread himself in government!) NB1: Kinyua's first nature never reveal his mind severely irritated Mwai Kibaki. Kibaki never had time for small time talk to bond with the ballast of Gikuyu nondescripts 'ticking' upon the treasury. He had his favourite buddies for golf and drink. And he liked to save time for these. So for the rest he had DIRECT QUESTIONS and he expected DIRECT AND CONCRETE ANSWERS. 3 minutes. No, not Kinyua. And so, with contemptuous saliva, President Kibaki would delegate such tedious sessions to the likes of Mwiraria and Michuki, with words like: 'those Gikuyu goats like Njugunah Ndung'u (CBK) and Joseph Kinyua (Treasury), go get some sense out of them if they have any and set an agenda. I can't stand their sheepishness, those goats!' NB2: John Michuki never liked Kibaki calling any Kikuyu he controlled a goat. But he could never spontaneously think of something wittily rebuttal to check Kibaki's vile but trenchant dismissals. So he always swallowed. And the likes of Mwiraria who were scared of him always made sure they looked elsewhere as Michuki contained his temper in the presence of Mwai Kibaki, knowing there would even much more spectacular put-downs. But a man of temper can only control himself so far. One day Kibaki was forced to lay down the law: 'You are a soldier Michuki. I do the thinking, you do the obeying. And you get the space to build your little empire!' But Kinyua is not known to have an official flash of temper. No, he is as cool as a cucumber always. He is always on top of the situation. Always an absolute presence of mind. Few modern bureaucracies have produced a man like Joseph Kinyua. ---His type used to be the staple at the top of the bureaucracies running absolute monarchies. Highly able men permanently surrendered to their mental inferiors. And so the birth of monsters of intrigue in royal courts. Joseph Kinyua is the perfect bureaucrat. The true rock of Uhuru Kenyatta's presidency. No, not even Ruto would take on him. Kinyua is ancient enough to have the details of William Ruto is the scammer of YK'92. Can Ruto buy him? Intimidate him? Parley him? I think the agreement would last long enough for Ruto to come to power. Thereafter the hustler would move with top speed to neutralise him forever. The anxieties of old guarded like Kinyua must never be dismissed nor underestimated. When dynasties fall, a particular kind of bureaucrat also falls. Commando President Fred Matiang'i is all Rambo, but does he know who his colonel Trautman is? ''The Kenyan people didn't select Matiang'i, I did!' TRANSITION ARCHIVES: A stickler to thorougness!? That is why the direct questions: WHERE WERE YOU DURING ANGLO-LEASING? AND GOLDENBERG, KINYUA!? But that is for another day! That increase in tax collection was after Kibaki spit and called them goats! NB: I first asked for a take on Kinyua when I heard of the Anglo-Leasing scandal. --Why did he let it happen? I felt a reputational man who could hold any of the following top positions at finance in the country could be asked that question. Kinyua could be ---at any pick--- PS finance, Minister of Finance, or Governor of Central Bank. So I would go with Kibaki: Where were you Kinyua? Eventually this happened Aha, now it will be rtd. Col Cyrus Oguna be mealy mouthed! Explaining all those tax evasions from Keroche and Humphreys Kariuki! Watch this space! The past is the future! Remember if you ask: and WHERE was Kibaki all these 50 years when Kenya went to the dogs? You know the answer: in the bar! passed out! Had he been awake, and at work! WEEEE! We would be where South Korea is today! And I will be back!

OF SOME BILLIONARE ENTREPRENEURS AND TAX RETURNSI like to laugh at certain things. If I were a forensic accountant investigator, and I presented the results of my investigations revealing a tax-fraud, and some politician or the culprit claimed malice, I would METICULOUSLY take them through my calculations and investigations, attaching legal clauses they breached, and SUE them for reputational damage!
But if one presents shoddy work, then these lawyers like Orengo and Kilokumi can dare claim there is no basis for prosecution.
This boy Haji is just a foot rag. When a competent prosecutor presents facts and documentation, even the most corrupt of Judges has no room to wiggle; and every fancy lawyer will sue for AN OUT OF COURT SETTLEMENT, and desist from empty braggadocio.

This is on a light note, until the sting in the tail! That's right! appeared in a dream! And a Kenyan court of law, duly constituted, found that 'dream appearance' weighty enough to ... revisit the facts .... of the case!
And! BINGO! the message from the dead was proven FACTUAL!
Now, a cremation is ... kind of IRREVERSIBLE! so if you cremate the wrong corpse! and the spirit of such a corpse complained after the fact, I guess the courts and culture would just have to invent a way of 'exorcising' the mishap! ---Like just leave it to the lord in prayer may be!
Or ... one of those 'dark' rituals which peacefully co-exist with the Church as it is lived by the people! ---Meanwhile Okoth may soon be sending us messages from the other world, on who to succeed him in Kibra!

KAPUTIN AND THE PUNDA-LOAD DEBATE
It seems an accepted point, that Uhuru Kenyatta will not retire wholly in 2022. That he wont be running again for president is sure. This ambiguous scenario conjures up the image of a dodge first made famous by Simon Mbugua. Mbugua who is a representative in the EAC parliament --called EALA-- was running fully scared. He had spilled the beans on one of the most dangerous political submarines active in the deeps of Kenya's murky waters. ---None other than Nancy Gitau.
KAPUTIN refers to the Putin-Medvedev back-and-forth. Putin temporarily became Prime Minister and Medvedev President, to avoid the embarrassing eventuality of revising the constitution to allow Putin endless terms in power. This was a very convenient political shuffle at the top. A dirty but legal arrangement for the same clique to maintain power past their burial date.
1. There's some evidence the global tendency ---replicated in the neighbourhood------ is toward a recidivism. Our Dear Supreme Leader Xi Jinpin expensed with China's term limit to install himself Caesar for Life. Donald Trump's Old Rome White House is a den of nepotism with his daughter and son in law at the helm. Boris Johnson of the United Kingdom, after a successful coup within the conservative party, seems hell-bent on squatting at number 10 Downing Street and doing reckless things without the peoples mandate. Africa's life presidents are on a roll. Al-Sisi of Egypt, Kagame of Rwanda, M7 of Uganda, the other boy of Burundi (whom Robert Mugabe made fun of and told to stop pretending and be himself: a full-fledged dictator!). On the whole, the dark continent (even as it famously rises) seems to be still shy of a daring passage into the light of civilisation. Howbeit Kenya looks about to exhibit a variant of that recidivism, albeit a mild form because Kenya's population ---considering their reaction to the last blatant rigging of the presidential vote---- is politically too rowdy to stomach the complete primitive packet. But there is obviously contagion. And if left to their own devices, there is determination on the part of the our ruling fraternity to indulge themselves in atavism. In this they are possessed not of a death-wish but an extinction drive.
KAPUTIN
But I imagine the old fox Agwambo has meanwhile covered his bases. Therefore is the risk worth his while. The die is cast.
But it has a slippery base. Ongeza Mzigo is underwritten by dynasties, chiefly the Moi, Odinga and Kenyatta dynasties. Orbiting around and behind them is the caucus of aristocratic capital. Kaputin can therefore be criticised ---as it has been by The Hustler Nation's artillery---- as a dynasty's plot to secure their continued dominance, in any case as their inheritors mature. For there is no Kenyatta to succeed Ouru, nor an Odinga to step into the shoes of Raila. And throwing Gideo against William will be like a lamb to a lion contest. So the older generation has to hold fort for a bit longer, more so, given the wolf William. --Let him into State House with the Imperial Presidency intact, Kipchirchir Singh, be it will the end of dynasties as he will establish his own, at their cost!
But for all these, nobody amongst the political establishment will go all out to support PUNGUZA MZIGO. Since the chant Punguza Mzigo sounds like UHURU! UHURU! or PINY OWACHO! PINY OWACHO! did to the colonial establishment and their collaborator Africans back in the 50's.
PINY OWACHO (or UHURU! UHURU!) was just a breath short of --MAU MAU-- terrorism to the colonial governor. That is the pathology which collapsed the governor into the state of emergency which saw the likes of Jomo, Achieng' Oneko, Paul Ngei and the rest of the six, end up in Kapenguria after a night of decapitation.
A STOCK OF JOKES!
As I watched Raila pour scorn on Punguza Mzigo, belittle Ekuru Aukot and dismiss the Kenyans who appended their signatures to this initiative, I couldn't help thinking of the colonial governor insisting the majority of Africans are peace-loving and dedicated to the Queen of England. 'They want nothing to do with the few hotheads inspired by the primitive rituals of Mau Mau and its pathological bloodthirst to create trouble. Once we remove these few hot heads ---Like Kenyatta and Omad-One, all will be tranquil on the political front. It didn't quite work out like that. But these things take time.
NB: Did Kipchumba Murkomem really write that tweet, apologising for having KEPT SILENT while Dr. Miguna Miguna was trashed for a Canadian, his rights suspended, his house in Runda ransacked with explosives, and he himself blindfolded and driven around dingy detention centres as if he, Miguna, were a Mau Mau, sorry, Al-Shabaab suspect headed for Kapenguria, sorry, black sites!
I say BETTER LATE THAN NEVER! There is even hope one of these days the acting president Dr. Fred Matiang'i will voluntarily regain the use of his head like Murkomem, or failing that, undergo a forced intellectual detoxification ritual in Gussii which will inculcate in him the need for a humbled Mea Culpa. You see the Gussii is making no bones about it, they are fronting him as their presidential candidate and will be lobbying other Kenyans to come to their cause. This means trusting a man who has trashed nearly 10 court rulings on the civil liberties of a citizen with the new to revised constitution, post whichever referendum result, punguza or ongeza!
The Miguna Miguna case is easily moving to the forefront as a test. I wonder how many times the cock will crow before all of us Kenyans go, HI HI HI! of course we all along knew! MIGUNA EN JALUO MOA KANO AHERO KA! --Huyo jamaa ni mwenyeji, Mkenya asili kamili!
What kind of mindset must a human being suffer to deny the obvious!?

FOOTNOTE: That we pay TWICE the cost is not China's problem. That is our problem, letting vermin like Thugge and Rotich do the math. Afica will be modernised, even if Africans themselves do everthing to sabotage it. Once you understand this simple fact, you wil be safe. If Africans wont do it, someone else will ---determine Africa's future. Only the African peoples will cry more than they otherwise would, if they were to do it themselves. The SGR will go to Bujumbura, Kampala and Kigali. ----even if M7 and Kagame, like cheap sheep, close their borders to prevent it! They will inflate the price like Jubilee did, get their mandatory cut, and give way to the future.
NB: It was te British who built the first lunatic express. Now the Chinese build the second. Another century and maybe the Africans will build one too!

INHERITING MONICAH 2. THE WORLD OF CHOICES IS PAINFUL TO HEGEMONIESBut first, the money factor.It is never a bad idea to factor in, the money factor, to explain a lot of human behaviour, some of it called motive. Like: why are elections rigged in Kenya, or elsewhere for that matter? It boils down to money, greed, to maintain power, and a chokehold on state goodies like kickbacks from rip-off contracts to the cost of the taxpayer. For a change lets us consider two great frauds, both non Kenyan. --From South Africa we heard tell of the narrative of state capture under the scandal Zupta. But, less publicised, there is Ethiopia too, where, respective the Grand Renaissance Superdam, a hole bigger than the valley to be filled by the lake was discovered by the increasingly unstable Abey government. Two, is how Ghana's treasury, in a scandal reminiscent of our Kimwarer-Kerio-Itare phantom dams, cooked superfluous contracts with private generators of electricity. These are the so-called Power Purchasing Agreements --(PPA's). The power supply --in the books--- doubled to 5080 Mega Watts, leading to a DESIGNED extra payment of $600 million per year for excess power. This was the nearly 2000MW Ghana could not consume, nor immediately export due to absent infrastructure to neighbouring, power-hungry countries. It was rumoured this 'excess capacity' was a scheme to finance elections ---which the Mahama government lost. Neither did the rates for electricity reduce; on the contrary, they went up. ---Surely, under what condition does oversupply in the market lead to higher prices!?Designer markets of course. Corrupted monopolies. But then again, may be Ghana simply had no excess power to export, or, as an official explained, the continuous power outages were caused by PERMANENT system overload. Ghana had so much power her grid blacked out. Like when you have excess alcohol in your system. OF CORRUPTED MONOPOLIESWith these bureaucratic looter designs in mind, this will make sense, trillions of centsThis ALL STARS company is powerful enough to force Macharia and his transport ministry to ORDER ALL CARGO TO BE MOVED BY THE RAIL, cheaper or not, convenient or not for container importers! (AND you can think it, those connected to the ALL STAR COMPANY are powerful enough to force the privatisation of JKIA and Kenya airlines, to themselves at a song, citing bankrutpcy!)State Capture they say in South Africa. Designed Outcomes, rigged market. Corrupted to the core. The Motive? It remains GREED, money for free. Greed, like lust, is a spectacular human demon or failing. Both are the parents of a lot of human drama of the tragic kind. But that (dhiki) does not warrant we loose our sense of humour (furaha). THE Ksh.32M WANJIKU SEND-OFF GIFT TO OKOTH32M is a fortune by many standards. By the standards of squalor prevalent in impoverished Africa, 32M is definitely a fortune. For the Oligarchs of Kenya, wherein we include the Dynasties and the Big Hustlers breathing down each others necks for power, 32M is of course peanuts. Such fine details to the data are key. Now, because in real life I have seen men commit murder for less, far less than 32M, I can picture a goodly Christian like myself being tempted into a touch of nastiness as he contemplates a hefty portion of 32M by any means Kenyan! That is when I can re-discover my roots and import upon the widow thus: either I inherit you according to my culture, primitive or not, or penniless you go away with your modernity. The price of your modernised, principled self is not a single cent of the 32M pay-off. And I can see the prepared widow being no push-over: under my foot! You will hear from my lawyer! I am the sole inheritor and executor of the estate of the late. Your claims, cultural they be, legal naught they be! Basta! And then David Maraga her we come, in a repeat of SM Otieno. I remember that case. I was young and saw people consume it as comedy. Otieno didn't have even a kiru or 'simba' at Nyalgunga in Siaya. No, last time he went to visit his mother, he lost his way and had to ask for directions from locals to his ancestral home! I remember thinking it was a bit nasty to bury him in Nyalgunga and not in his new achievers palatial off Nairobi as his wife insisted. But at the same time there was something touching in him being buried next to his father in his ancestral home. Personally I would love to be buried next to my father. I loved him more than I have ever belonged to anything else I later got attached to. In deed I picture us continuing our arguments past death! that there, in the land of the dead, would he no longer call me his typical 'Boy' everytime he addressed me; neither would I respond with my customary 'Dad Sir!' And if his shadow did ---for past death we are all phantoms, !!! Yeah, I can just see us having a good laugh, side by side past death! I am not sure that can, if I were to be cremated like Ken Okoth! FOOTNOTESo did I start this delivery And I have a confession to make. It was motivated by a look at the following photo, captioned But the caption is not what I am really seeing. I am seeing armed soldiers guarding a stopped truck. What the trucks are loaded with, or whether they are empty, where they are from and where they are going, I will trust the journalist. ---Even if Ouru Kenyatta himself, an owner, told me daily papers in Kenya are best for meat-wraps or, should you have no softer alternatives, arshole swipes! So who is threatening Kenya's maiden oil-out trip!? That the army need secure the route!? And is this an omen for the so-called resource conflicts? I don't put it past the handshake to know most about this. And I don't put it past the real reason why William Ruto was so pissed off. Was he double-crossed in the deal? And this[/i] Non Disclosure, that is the clause I was looking for. I know its political economy! Act One Then Raila and Uhuru went to Beijin again, and today, better offer, what do you know!? Come to Kisumu and see the port!THE LAKE REGION AWAKENS TO THE FIERY BREATH OF THE DRAGONOn the other side, see Musoma, Mwanza and Bukoba, and soon, Jinja. And, to connect the dots, Dar is hosting SADC Heads of state, in an EAC-SADDC co-ordination summit. Some will remember a few weeks ago Uhuru Kenyatta was the personal guest at Magufuli's parental rural, and since then, curious gifts and other ancient TRIBAL ARTEFACTS of everlasting peace-deals between peoples have been exchanged between the two ECONOMIC MATCHES. These curios include quails, peacocks, coloured lizards, decorated, multi-coloured aquarium fish, walking sticks layered with the flora and fauna of the Savannah, corn-grinding stones, spears and shields. And now Kenya has done its part. As in ChemCHINA ships the oil. For a time Uhuruto dithered on this Oil deal. Ouru's invitations to Canada to attend the G8, and a lot of other background pressure to join Trump's, and by extension, The West's Trade War on China, were telling. It required people like Magufuli and Raila to make son of Jomo see the sense Kibaki had seen immediately, but which Uhurto weren't seeing through their fog of possessed greed and short-termist feeding frenzy. This is the simple truth: China is the INDISPENSIBLE partner to Africa's rise.This simple factor is not yet very clear to many decision makers in Africa. No surprise there since most of them Breton-Woods bribable vermin like Henry the traitor Rotich. Fortunately this truth is already OBVIOUS to the masses: that China is the indispensable partner factor. The USA is dispensable. When ---and not if--- the total break comes between Huawei and Google, between Eastern and Western smart devices, wherefore they become no longer compatible, Africa goes East. It is the 5G and AI warfront one should watch for, where the cookie crumbles for the USA. IE, the future of Technology is no longer their full-spectrum dominance. There's choice. Just like ostracisation by the IMF and World Bank no longer means death. Just like total and comprehensive sanctions on Iran doesn't mean the death of the Islamic republic. On the contrary, it proves there is much life outside the dollar. ---And now the sting in the tale ..... there is choice, like there is for Monicah, the widow of Ken Okoth! No, no Luo cultural full spectrum dominance! And so this was a Luo-Pivot post! Ie, en Sigueya mar Sira kitero buru el liend Ken Okoth! 'TERO BURU' - -KUPELEKA VUMBI, TO ACCOMPANY THE DUST, as a burial ritual of the Luo, has never had a more tragi-funnier ring like in the case of the cremate Ken! NEXT: THE INHERITANCE GAME WHEN A MAN DIES: 'TERRORISM' IN LUOLAND!

INHERITING MONICAHThe woodwork crawled out of the worm. Tails wagged dogs. The leader of the ---should we say--- rebel faction of the Luo Council of Elders, His Highness Ker Nyandiko Ongadi, pontificated the procedure during a public interview. Verily His Lordship was disposed enough of benign state to indulge us this blessing. We tanked with greed, and thank him to excess. It was the original KANUNI, the classic and ancient one, unpolluted by New Testament bull. Monicah must be inherited. According to popular renditions, the President of the Luo Council of Elders was well-roasted by NETIZENS. --Reactionary, regressive, primitive, outdated .... and the whole LAKUNLE RIGMAROLE, for those who remember Wole Soyinka's play, THE LION AND THE JEWEL. I think I should review it here ---should any 8-4-4 chance on Jukwaa---- for this is exactly the kind of conflict it is about! But: stop press: OPIYO OTONDI IS WHO? Now, for a fact, Monicah has no known vows to celibacy post Okoth. So out there in the real world, there is a Jater (or terrorist as the new lexicon will have it) waiting to lock, and dock, kind of. This eventuality can also be statistically predicted. In other words the probability that a young woman of (Monicah's age) will find a 'new partner' (that is a terrorist), say, within two years of widowhood, can easily be gleaned at the indicators of social geography. (There are these institutes where psycho-social trends are concretised in figures in Western countries. Monicah looks westernised to me). Ker Ongadi's point, is thus simply that he wants to RESTRICT the market, restrict the inheritance market through a PREQUALIFICATION process which leaves only Okoth's kin as eligible. Monicah is thus privatised, or should we say, TILL DEATH DO US PART, bonded permanently to the kin of her late husband. That is what we mean by marriage is an institute. Leave the romance out of it. You will end up a divorcee if you cheat yourself thus! But talking about being kin as a pre-qualification in the inheritance game, is a bit like the claim only native Kenyans should sell mutumba at Gikomba, or should be president of Kenya. It is protectionism, eliminating competition by appealing to nationalist sensibilities. Or bloodlines as it were. (Remember of the past half a century, Kenyans delegated to the presidency have proved they are incapable and not worth the while! Just junk, plane junk, and more recycled junk!) NB: I am patriarchally orthodox enough to assume Okoth's womenfolk are PRE-DISQUALIFIED from candidacy here. Of course there is an ongoing healthy debate within Luo society on the topic of women marrying women, but that is a story for another day. (This phenomenon was when a woman unable to bear children, married another woman to bear children for her with her husband. Modernists can think of the concept 'surrogate motherhood'. And on the rebound Monicah will be inherited, but we are an open economy in a global village. So the market is international. We should perhaps ponder why patriarchy developed such forceful ways of mopping up free females. In Hindustania I heard widows were expected to self-immolate on the funeral pyre of her late husband: suttee. And, if one sought to dodge that expectation, she was unceremoniously cast upon the inferno. Till death do us part was only for men. For women it was in your death we depart together!

FOOTNOTE: CASH-S'TRAPPED?
REFERENDUM TALK, SOUNDTRACK LABOUR UNREST! GHENYA!
It is the economy stupid, a former USA president said on his way up. Unluckily the come-back kid is these days more mentioned in annex to the now suicided paedophile monster, Jeffrey Epstein. But that is another long, long tragi-tabloid story.
A powerful way of getting a glimpse of the real economy is to survey of the labour front, and note how its conflicts with the opposite side, employers or capital, are faring out. A nuanced tranquility should be a huraah! the other tranquility, that of the broken and pacified.
So what do we have in Kenya? a very lively front!?
The Big news is Referendum, and with it, on the sidelines, talk of a super alliance between the leading dynasts. It verily smells of the cheek of KAPUTIN. And again that is another story.
So there are a lot of distractions the powers that be are firing out to unfocus the population from their hunger!
Here is some smoke from the not too hidden fires. We called it the 'gladiator's contract'. When one was employed as a gladiator in Rome, there was only one way one could show up again for work the next day. A killing performance. For the entertainment of the nobility.
This reduces, reforms the Kenya Army to a bunch of mercenaries. But that is another story. Anyway the suggestion is out there.
An on the other side to the same story .... the usual suspects, UNIONS!
The centrepiece battle! this union must be crushed!
One could say, it is a bit stormy on the labour front.

BUILDING BRIDGES INITIATIVE, OR CONTAINING WILLIAM RUTO?
No, first, it is containing Ekuru Aukot and his third way, Punda imechoka, Punguza nini!
The pressure has been so intense on the Tangatanga front, that its King and standard-bearer, William Ruto, was forced into a calculated retreat. Neither does the other side, Team Kieleweke or Handshake, feel confident they can sustain the pressure. So they have been forced into a duplicituous parley.
It's revelation was a messy show.
It was phoney and visibly unconvincing, but the best that could be done. William's words and his body language clashed like high waves on a high cliff ---that is an intense intimacy of indifference. Ruto needs to align his head with his heart for a little health, as it is, he is a total grotesk. When, as a seasoned politician and a smooth liar ---a natural born hypocrite in flow, your body language does not match your rhetoric in politics, you invite jackals and scavengers, because they will recognise the loud bellows of a stricken bull, thrashing about and incapacitated, making dread dins: its death cries.
His tongue waxed loud with reconciliatory talk, WSR, he embraced his his enemy as it were, but his body stayed ice cold, cast and indifferent. As he tongued Raila Odinga as his brother, his body language remained a pressurised tank of venom. Raila Odinga too acknowledged his ... you know .... no-longer prodigal brother, but his 'handshaked' body language remained the tears of a hungry crocodile at a meal. No, the body languages could not be politically scripted. The involuntary system stayed honest, maintained autonomy from spin doctors. It was like when Judas smiled at The Escariot in that mirror, satisfied the kiss had been practised to perfection. Jesus here I come.
The embrace was as good as physical, only the stiffness and total discomfort confirmed the known. They are not just separated, they are divorced already. They are two rocks side by side, but emotionally dead to the other. But a lot of life are relationships independent of ones will, so the comprador top of Kenya have a need to put up appearances. They can only manage such rotten shows of hypocritical formality, but times are dire. The whole class is threatened, survival dictates solidarity. The terror is Punda, Punda imechoka. Dr. Ekuru Aukot's Punguza Mzigo initiative is correctly recognised by the political Oligarchy as a Trojan Horse chalice, to their Lucrative Fort. ---As Otiende Amollo put it: It must be CRUSHED.
Now that is a forthright man!
And that is the rationale for the grand parley between Raila and Ruto.
NB: This Amollo and Ekuru were once in the distinguished panel of experts who wrote us the 2010 promise. It is quite a document of course, and Wanjiku promulgated it in force. That this epic constitution now lies torn in the dustbin, or flies around like dismembered litter in the historical winds, is a ruthless reminder of the extents to which the ruling elite of Kenya will go to maintain their lock-hold. My brother this, my brother that. Hmmm.
Continued.

KEN OKOTH DEBATE: TO BURY OR NOT TO BURRY A BODY SUBSTITUTE?
The 'conflict' between 'tradition' and 'modernity' has of course been a most fertile ground for great works of social analysis and comedy. This became a favourite genre following the colonisation of Africa and the Europeanization of African culture. Of course that Europeanization (or westernisation so called) turns out at every juncture to be a very thin film of coating. And should it be deeper, it turns out to be more the case of a depersonalisation of the native and, invariably, one of always disinheriting him or her from his or her historical identity. ---This disinheritance from historical identity is how I explain how Dr. Henry Rotich could, like the famous Andrea Chilulu of a Ugandan author, go to all the best Whiteman's schools, read and pass all the best of whiteman's exams, rise to the top of the department of his alleged professional competence, yet turn out to be an illiterate buffoon who couldn't count public cash, and if he could ---think of the Eurobonds, steals it and instead of building a dam at his drought-stricken home area to change fortunes, betrays the peoples hopes and trust by re-exporting his stolen stash abroad. I denied earlier Rotich is not a thief really; to be a thief you have to be human and conscious of your actions and their implications, even if you is a psychopath. Rotich (and his ilk) is just a kondoo: will bleatingly chew sacks of money to death or organic manure. No investment mind. (Rotich needs a stint at a re-education camp before he can understand the charges against him by the DPP! eg economic sabotage!)
And let prudent investment be the economic rationale of the bourgeoisie civilisation! Our adopted model.
These lessons are worth driving home with clinical precision in the classroom. That might save lives by introducing an element of prudence and thoughtful politics, since, outside, in the real world, it is the likes of BOKO HARAM and Al-Shabaab who will point out the follies of colonial thinking. At terrible cost. An epidemic of failed or failing states.
A highly trained bourgeois economist who has no investment consciousness, and no money-management skills, is culturally depersonalised. He is reduced to a kind of zombie, a caricature of the original self. Education was merely the process by which a very clever boy from Kerio mutated into an academically ornamented total moron. And the answer to the riddle lies in his not knowing himself: a lost, pour soul.
BUT CULTURE, WHICH CULTURE?
The cremation of Ken Okoth on the strength of (1) a verbal will (without several witness swearing they heard the dying man's last wishers; nor (2) an existent WRITTEN will, but not publicly verified by an authorised EXECUTOR of wills
has left room for a cultural free for all. And that is as it should be in real life culture: a spectrum wide enough to accommodate the imaginative creativity of mankind. Culture is the only free shop I know. The daring to engage will suffice. Like real life itself.
Here are two extraordinary videos from Kabondo. To ponder on the subject of Kibra Ken Okoth. It is important to wink, that Ken Okoth never lived, nor worked in Luoland. He is a Kibera (ex slum) boy, urbanised and totally diaspora. Luoland is some distant myth, deep yes, utterly deep yes, but like Israel to many American Jews who would never bother to go live under its apartheid policy's under Bibi, Luoland was a very far from his bed, and daily life show. Okoth's emotional and professional dedication was to Kibra.
But that does not mean Luoland and Luos, kin or not, were going to leave him alone, more so, in death. ---I will have to revisit another one here: SM OTIENO the famous man from Nyalgunga in Siaya, or was it Ngong', off Kajiado?
But first, scenes from KASIPUL KABONDO, at Okoth's maternal --not paternal! (Think of Song of Ocol and Song of Lawino! --Okot P'Bitek)
1. A lady arguing her case against cremation of Okoth at a public podium, Rome's Tribune so said.
And
2. A legatus, or these days a Mpig, John Mbadi, arguing the senate's case to forbid burials of substitute body parts, like banana shooters. Such primitive rituals spoil the civilised name of Rome.
This is when the importance of Christianity comes to the fore, as an oil which thaws the friction between the modern and the traditional. But that statement needs a big footnote. Because in the advent of economic desperation, the scriptures of Christianity have mushroomed chameleon schools of interpretation, and the popular ones have tended toward the EVANGELICAL and fundamentalist. These can rampantly be pre-historic and very outdated. Just like in the lands o f Islam where the school of fundamentalism has taken centre stage,
So you will hear some Christians preaching a woman can not be a Pope, nor an Archdeacon, nor a Cardinal, nor some other such cheap post where bribes from the likes of William Ruto are cashed, and his contraband loot blessed. That is the archaic school of God's word and His Holy Book. Utter nonsense. Howbeit I heard only from last year were women in Saudi Arabia allowed to drive cars on public roads! (My honest opinion about that is simply pity. I pity that country, not her women. For ex Saudi women are driving bendy buses in London, and earlier on, the red double-decker monsters! Just like Jamaican women, all night blacks, who crashed the red-neck monopoly of the trucker business in the USA! ----But then, don't they have WOMEN Cardinals in the Legio Maria of His Divinity, Ondetto!?)
So when John Mbadi beseeches the name of Christianity and modernity to convince Okoth's mum and kin to desist from burying a banana stem, I was happy to see he looked unsure, unconvinced himself, aware he was a politician whose words have the value of the Zimbabwean dollar under hyperinflation. You know the phrase is actually planting a banana tuber. The burying is restricted to the fruit of the yago tree ---yiko yago. There are many variations here, since the Lake region is used to folks who drowned and their bodies never recovered. That is not to say cremation is unknown, since there were equally, in the grass thatch days, many incidences of bodies incinerated to total ash.
So let nobody cheat you the Luos have no protocols for dealing with 'cremation'. Even voluntary ones, for suicides by arson are and were known. Or self-immolation. Then of course there are the cattle thieves 'cremated' to ashes by way of mob justice! Many never bother to think about these, but I read culture is more elastic than the Kenyan constitution, on the definition of integrity for instance.
Gotta explain that later!
SO HOW ABOUT WIFE INHERITANCE? ---called Terrorism these days, from the word 'TER'.
I will say something about that presently. But first, a gap-in-the teeth reading of a market woman of Kadongo, Kabondo: A mother boycotts a son's cremation.
KA MIYO OKUNO WENG'O MAR RINGRE WUODE
Many months my belly was full of you child Would I went to the early grave before you now.
Oh this double sorrow that tears my heart, child! Far from home in lonely lies they turned you to dust That my eyes never will feast daily to my fill of tears on the mound of earth covering your casket deep in the soil.
I want to wake up everyday for the rest of my life Knowing the earth caresses you like my womb did. All those delicate months I carried you inside, dear child My hands ever fondled my ever distending belly, talking.
All those months I carried you inside, dear child my mind ever pondered what the fates had in store. Unknown to those who carried not There is a comfort in tending the grave of one so beloved Unknown to those who brought forth none The absence of a grave to speak to, is like the absence of a church to go to.
Politicians you only fought yesterday cheer you in death with a double agenda Their mouths water at the seat you left vacant The widow must be inherited by one of their own!
They put your coffin in their odd party colours But you served Kibra in Kenya's national colours And in Love did you equally ever rise, and ride high Being mighty generous to the women folk of far lands Ahmen! What a flower one of them left to decorate your memory! Ken.

LOYA-JIRGAdef: A Loya Jirga is an ancient Afghan tradition that has been convened at times of national crisis or to settle major disputes. The most recent jirga was held in 2013, when the Afghan government endorsed a security agreement allowing U.S. troops to stay in Afghanistan beyond their planned withdrawal in 2014 PUNDA IMECHOKA: FROM LANCASTER LONDON TO AN ASSEMBLY NEAR YOU!A journey of a thousand kilometres starts but with a single step. The rest is endurance. On the brave of it, Ekuru Aukot's initiative which goes under the name of Punguza Mzigo Punda imechoka, is the KANU world upside-down, KADU idea right step up! ---And then, it is Kenya's future to be discussed and determined at your local LOYA JIRGA. --Peoples Rural assembly, under the airy ancient trees so to speak! That is as it should be. O native, you are no longer the ignorant wog you were back in the 50's! Ever since colonialism summarily put an end to the then ubiquitous, ancient tradition of LOYA-JIRGA'S under equally ancient Baobab or Mugumo trees, the future of African countrysides and nation-states have been traditionally determined in far-off capital cities. Yes, in Metropoles like London at the foreign and colonial office; in capitals like Washington DC, at the WB's and IMF's desks. I am not sure, but I can put a lot of weight on it. It was this recognition of the changed reality ... (the profoundness of the colonial revolution) ----that the key decisions to the future now lay in EuropeAN hands, which motivated the KCA (Kikuyu Central Association) to dispatch Johnstone Kamau, the later Jomo Kenyatta, to London. Young Kamau's mission was to argue the case for an alternative relationship between the Whiteman in Kenya and the native (whose lands had been grabbed with genocidal impunity). And, howbeit, don't we --at the KATIBA INSTITUTE-- read in history about the LANCASTER CONFERENCES! HERE IS A HISTORICAL DOCUMENT TO PERUSE ***FOOTNOTE. Even today when the world is called a global village, London is far from any place in Kenya. In 1962, it could as well have been a planet away to most Kenyans. The swahili work N'gambo, I am told, can also mean other world, with a connotation of fictitious, wonderland. But there it was, a few selected Kenyans were invited at the Queen's leisure to, in total isolation from their base, ostensibly discuss, but practically have imposed upon them, the infrastructure of post-colonial rule. In effect, they were there to get their orders to come and administer the neo-colonial agenda. Jaramogi Oginga Odinga woke up a few years later to yell, damn! NOT YET UHURU! And BAM! Those already enjoying the matunda's did not know what the suspected commie was yapping about! FF: an opinion So, whatever happened at Bomas happened. We got it wrong. Then there is the 2010 promulgated document. Again the consensus is we got it wrong. But what all these getting-wrongs have in common, is that they really have never had a LOYA-JIRGA STAMP! Yes, the assembly under the Baobab where they also discuss matters of marital infidelity, and the chopping off of the male members of serial rapists. And in some cultures, sentence witches to cremation atop a wood-pile. It does not take a leap of imagination to recognise that, the PUNDA IMECHOKA discussion will readily evolve to PUNDA AMEKASIRIKA, MZIGO APATE ASANTE YAKE! --TEKE! This is why those in charge of the looting state can not afford to let go of their control over the process. No, party discipline on the ground at the ward level can not be guaranteed. The ward level is where theft is dealt with mercilessly like in mob justice. There is no way the head of loya jirga at your local will behave like Willy Mutunga who didn't know whether to define those who had stolen public land as integrity challenged, so much so that they could not hold public office. Ouru Raila and Ruto know the donkey is unwilling. One day you can take the donkey to the water but not force it to drink. All MCA's can be bribed, but come the voting day they would vote Punguza mzigo, punda imechoka. What is wrong with the Ekuru Aukot suggestion if you have read them? Somebody asked Dr. Adams Oloo of the BBI team. The inverview was in Dholuo. Apparently it was a dangerous question. Either the good doc has no linguistic proficiency in the said language, or his mind was just a whirl of confusion, thus his incoherence. FOOTNOTE DOCUMENT Imagine over half a century later, just the B-part of the first point of Ronald Ngala's statement in 1962 is what we call the 2nd Liberation! --Regions with own assemblies! And even that regional assembly to discuss PUNDA IMECHOKA, is banned by a court ruling today! Omera! I think we are dearly asking for it. And it is bound to come, the federal state. Be sure that is too much even for Ekuru Aukot. ---Close to 60 years after Ronald Ngala said it was the key reason he had signed the Lancaster, Maudling plan for Kenya. I am not too sure the LOYA-JIRGA's of Turkana wont endorse the Ngala Plan, with all that oil flowing! I said, there is something of as a softie in Ekuru Aukot. He hesitates from the logical pathway of his thinking. Yet it is all out there in the open! Rarieda Mpig Otiende Amollo: this plan must be crushedHoma Bay Senator Kajwang: punda imechoka must fail!But the duo may not even be aware of the historical current they ride why their vehemence! The archives at Lancaster for a paradigm.

REFERENDUM: PUNDA NACHOKA SANA, PUNGUZA MZIGO NOW!EEE, Sirikali yawa! sirikali wewe in psychopath, husikii wala huoni uchungu ya punda! Ei, sirikali yawa, sirikali! --that is a ringtone I heard today! So Un Ouru gi Raila gi Ruto uwinjo, maler punda nachoka sana, sana. Hilo jambo la Okuru Okot ni kweli kabisa. Ata kule juu Mungu amepiga seyi, haki ya Mungu, na kuweka amuri ya FINITO: Mzigo itapunguzua, punda imechoka. By order of heaven! It can be postponed, and likely willbe; but only so long. The donkey will simply buckle under, and that is a bankrupt situation. I have not met anyone speaking their own minds who does not agree the Kenyan Punda imechoka. But the few dissenters, as soon as they posture, too reveal a lack of inner conviction, nay, like the usual parrots on the party majira, they cut a picture of sheep taught what to bleat. But deep down they know, the days are numbered. Punda imechoka.THE POLITICAL CLASS CLOSES RANKS. OUCH Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka (right) addresses a press conference alongside the newly elected party chairman Chirau Ali Mwakwere during the party's National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Nairobi on July 28, 2019. [David Njaaga,Standard] Punguza Mzigo is against devolution, should be avoided by all means- Senator Kajwang Otiende Amollo: Punguza Mzigo must fall So the tanks are closed at the top. The ONGEZA MIZIGO GANG are out to have a party on top of the donkey! They say, that is the way the cookie crumbles. But I think theirs is the delusion of parasites who never saw a day's work. n---Mzigo? Which Mzigo!? Ouru Kenyatta has more money than he knows what to do with. Watch him poison himself with overweight. William Ruto give the phrase Mr. MoneyBags a new height in meaning. See him donate ten millions cash to Churches. Weta just fresh from swindling millions off the now one-less-wifed Makhtoum of Dubai. Courtesy of fake gold. Kenyan parliamentarians are the envy of the world. Their perks, mileage allowances, entertainment bonuses, benchmark fully paid five-star trips to anywhere on the planet for as long as they wish, not to mention sky-high salaries, not even CEO's of big profitable companies would dream of. To such people as we call Mpigs, PUNGUZA MIZIGO correctly sounds like a DEATH-KNELL. It is of course. ---But in how many tolls is the question! NB: Watching the humiliation of Isaac Ruto during the whole Laboso funeral service and interment, I think this is the vacuum he must fill: run away with punguza Mzigo, sell it like mad to the people. There is something of a softie visible in Ekuru Aukot. Turned into a punching bag by Raila, Ouru Ruto and their pack of political thugs and hired hitmen, I fear Ekuru may just piss in his pants. I don't see him having the balls it takes for instance in a studio debate, to stare William Ruto down and dismiss him with: for your land theft where that Hotel is built, you should be in Kamiti, or under restrictions like Waititu on bail, not here bandying words with me! Punguza Mzigo also means jailing thieves, thief! I am sure tht his hit power far beyond Dr. Ekuru's abilities. Neither can he threaten Raila Odinga with the new KEBS lab report on the maize Agwambo imported ----cancerous! Nor can he dismiss Ouru to go home with his cabinet of thieves, including his pugnacious protege Matiang'i, conflicted over Ruaraka land scams. No , Dr. Ekuru is a gentleman and boardroom intellectual. He wouldn't have the guts for hand to hand, man to man combat, daily around the country for months on end. May be he has it, but I haven't seen glimpses of it yet: a killer's grit. I am just seeing a playboy. A child unaware he has pulled a loaded gun on the mob's capo's! The Kartel's fundamentals.This is a battle for the survival of a political infrastructure. Ekuru is introducing revolution through the backdoor. --Why do you think a man of Otiende Amollo's intellect would insist PUNGUZA MIGIZO must be CRUSHED!? Only yesterday in the run to the oat of Raila as people's president, were the peoples assemblies designated to be the centrepieces of the peoples democracy. Today Otiende Amollo, the designated peoples republic attorney General, cheers a court order that banned the debate on Punguza Mzigo at the MCA's. What spooked Amollo into such an intellectual collapse!? But the answer to that would necessarily be a LUO PIVOT post! Punda imechoka, lakini akili ya wakili pia imechoka!

THIS MAN SONKO, THE TRUE GAURDIAN OF KEN OKOTH'S HERITAGE
Mike Mbuvi Sonko broke rank with the mean-spirited, crocodile teary political entourage who would BAN a KIMIRWA and bar his mother from his father's and (her husband's) funeral pyre. This is the political class which I remember a popular musician to have characterised as dinosaurs. And they have come out loud to heap a bumper harvest of condemnations on top of Mike Sonko. But why!?
NB: Yesterday it was a battle royal between Sonko and my sister Mabona, Amilo GesaGesa SubaSuba-One! She, the Suba North Mpig. At a deeper level you would think Odhiambo and Sonko are on the same page, given this. well? Amazing the bitter fall-out post Okoth's death between Mabona and Mbuvi.
Hypocrites to the lore, they all took offence, didn't they!? them well-heeled, well-to-do attendees of the memorial service. One could see their corruption-filled bellies spilling overboard! Except the general public behaved different! These went cheering their popular governor, Mike Sonko. Bring it on! There was even a preacherman-to-audience call and response rhythm to the whole Sonko show, narrating how Okoth was smitten with Anita Mrembo. The non elite said, and continue to say, on alternative media, that the popular governor, in the spirit of the Millie Odhiambo amendment to the marriage act, is practically battling to REHABILITATE, integrate and recognise 'KANDO KANDO' familias who, after all in Kenya, aren't really that secret. --In this case, not only had Ken Okoth introduced himself to the parents of Anne Nthumbi, they had also introduced the baby-boy, Jayden Okoth, to Ken Okoth's own mother!
Why Ken's mother was advised to denounce her grandson she already had cuddled, is a motive still out there. (I will be curious to hear Millie Mabona's explanation!)
And then, the last laugh: Sonko's heartfelts. Many commentators, unable to perceive this trait, just lump Sonko together with the other cynical dinosaurs who would milk a rotten corpse to the last pus of publicity. But Sonko has a genuine magic. -----This emotional honesty is why he beats all pretenders to Nairobi, whether blue-eyed Peter Kenneth, or Moneyman Jimnah Mbaru. Whether Sugar-Sweet Evans Kidero, Peoples Raila Odinga, or the duly-crowned Muthamaki Kamwana ---(or, buried and gone, the rest of them we no longer remember from his Makadara conquest days: kina Dick Waithika and Ruben Ndolo's may be.
And it will be remembered Jimnah and Kenneth had the support of the Equity bilionaire, the whole Mount Kenya money (led by Kenyatta and Chris Kirubi), and the rest of the cast. But Sonko beat them all. The Majoritarian people of Nairobi cast their lot with him. The key reason is this: Sonko has a gift for genuine empathy. Sonko does not just help people for political expediency. Few people at the top of Kenya know, I will repeat, that down in the slums, mothers repeatedly loose children because they can not afford a few packs of ORS, and the initial 5k (these days more) which the clinics demand for the rehydration process on admission, is a fortune to many Kenyan mothers, aka Mama Mboga's. But you wouldn't know how many youth walk around Nairobi because Sonko was there for their Mum's on the day. Long before Sonko had become a household name around the country. The man isn't an opportunistic populist just because he is in politics. Charity has always been his middle name For statistical analysis with a political economic pinch, here is some data. It isn't just philanthropy. One can be as philanthropic as George Soros, but still illicit no warm responses whatsoever from the recipients. It is a bit like the American incomprehension of Hugo Chavez. A lowly mestizo who bankrupted his nation and talked too much. Yet when the CIA stage-managed a 'salvation coup', the loyalty of the nation to the image of Hugo Chavez proved so resolute that, even much later after his death and the nation in even more dire straits under Nicolas Maduro, the US puppet and designated saviour, Juan Guaido, just fizzled out naturally.
If the Kenyan elite is so mentally decomposed they no longer have the faculty to differentiate calculated charity from heart-warmth conviction, it does not necessarily follow that affliction is a general social condition downwards. Uncomprehending, the elite has been wont to explain Sonko's popularity in terms of the gullibility and stupidity of his audience. I prefer to explain it by the common man's emotional sophistication, or emotional intelligence these days. Sonko is the LEAST FAKE up there!
If Sonko is a drug dealer, what is William Ruto!? (Si muizi ni muizi!) If Sonko is a thief, what is the history of the Kenyatta fortune? If Sonko is a populist, what is Raila Odinga?
DEADLY DETAILS:
Kibera at wide: who did Ken Okoth pull votes for? Sonko or Kidero? (This is the background to a quip by one of the Jubilee Mpigs during the misa, that 'iko wakati wakubwa wa ODM walikuwa wanamweka kando ---, ati huyu jamaa ni wa Jubilee ama vipi? Is he a mole or what!? Anyway, Okoth wasn't going to be as stupid as to tell the wretched of Nairobi, that Kidero was their saint over Sonko. Reality would check him immediately. And NB: I heard Embakasi South is very close to the roundabout where the TAJ-MAL stood. And, rumours O rumours, the muhindi of the Mall was associated with the ODM candidate. And by the time of the by-election, popular truth was the Mall was on a grabbed road reserve. The people at Orange House appeared not to live in Nairobi, nor did ODM operatives in Embakasi South seem to be wading the depths of Mukuru or walking the stretches of Mlolongo. Otherwise they would have been in the know of the under currents.
So when SlumWalker Mike Sonko fought Jayden Okoth's corner at his father's funeral, he touched other bases unknown to the crocodiles who had taken centre stage to peddle their con narratives. The youngster and his mother had been banished from the occasion as if they were dirty litter which would pollute the august occasion. Only known biological son, persona non grata! Huraah! Huraah!
--And so, stung, Sonko said ---if his people reject him henceforth--- he is personally ready so far he can to pay up the schooling of the young Jayden so that, who knows, he becomes an academic and political star like his father, Ken.
I think it is my sister Millie Odhiambo who is out of order. Intellectual she be, think deep she didn't!
You got to feel it. Sonko is incomparable to these scum. Why? The ravages of politics and whatever life, have not defeated the humanity in his heart. It continues to shine, unbridled, selfless, conflicted bu uncalculated and spontaneous. To beat him, they have to plot rigging. I am betting that is what the crocodiles are busy doing, daily.
JUSTICE MUMBI NGUGI MAKES HALF A RULING
And so Sonko had another shocker. Following the Justice Ngugi ruling on Waititu, barred from office ... UNTIL FUTHER NOTICE, few politicians if any have been dancing around in jubilation --AT LAST! AT LAST THE INTEGRITY CHAPTER! AT LAST CORRUPT SCUM MUST LEAVE PUBLIC OFFICE! Naah! God forbid. But Mike Mbuvi Sonko has another opinion, in deed another dissenting one from the consensus! And he has spooked folks! Not least, EAC parliamentarian Oburu Odinga who has been found GUILTY of pilfering Railway Land in Kisumu! (Wacha tu Ruto and Matiang'i on Lang'ata Weston and Ruaraka land deals respectively!). Imagine William Ruto saying: I AM READY TO STEP ASIDE UNTIL THE WESTON HOTEL LAND IS .... FULLY INVESTIGATED. Or Matiang'i over Ruaraka if you wish! saying that!
Remember it is the same Sonko who said: deputy governor you want? Okay, MIGUNA MIGUNA!
Sonko is just different, even the jokes he cracks! the dredge deeper depths than any other top politician dare. And the people know it.
THEN, LEGALISE CANNABIS, O YOUNG TURKS! SONKO SPEAKS!

SCANDALS AND HISTORY: WAS KEN OKOTH'S CREMATION AN EXERCISE IN DECEPTION? FURTIVE: done in a quiet and secretive way to avoid being noticed. When the burial of a famous man is deliberately furtive, you have a story. A great tabloid story. Here is the best one from Nakuru Ati mourners were misled! To shed tears at the wrong death one might ask!? This is obviously straightforward comedy. The issue will be what social developments necessitate such live comedy, if morbid. But, morbid or erotic, these scandals tells us who we are, the demons we wrestle with, daily in our split hearts. I love tabloid tales. They are always sensational and memorable. But no, I don't like them like the Australian media magnate Murdoch and his tabloid editors in Britain who, when they heard Lady Diana, the future King Mother, was dating an Arabu called Dodi, went into the ecstacy of praying five times a day. They were relishing the kindness the heavens had bestowed upon them. The papers would sell, to the latest late edition. It would be a bumper season. Scandals are like great stories waiting to be organised into great novels. They reveal hidden aspects of the historical circumstances which otherwise the greatest volumes of social research wouldn't even grace. Which is why I said in my reviews of Dr. Zhivago, Anna Karenina, or the scandal of the eloped Hellene of Troy, study your scandals, O young minds. Of course Christians know only too well of their mother of all scandals. The snake tempted Eve into tasting the forbidden truth. And that put paid to any grandiose designs The Creator might have had for his masterpiece, Human Man. So here we are, the wretched of the earth, instead of the chosen of heaven. D-amn! I retain my passion for tabloid tales, yes, of Romeo's and their Julietta's, and the worms that crawl out of the woodworks when they are done. Howbeit then, Ken Okoth and his 'rushed cremation' is a godsend to the future generations who will strive to understand the dynamics of our times in a nutshell. Which is why 'an koro an opuk ogo e pige', which translates to 'your tortoise cast into his beloved deeps!' --Ahmen. Okoth has been cremated. Furtively it would appear. He is therefore one skeleton which no longer can come rolling out of the cupboard. But he leaves a rich legacy which is confidently several elephants in the room. --- The one I like best are his views on Marijuana-HEMP. These appear shocking, as dirty as to be obscenities to the ruling block, yet, down below in normal Kenya, cannabis or hash, being so cheap in an economically dire situation, is the leading entertainment mood-changer for youths. Which secondary school in Kenya does not have its own holy herb dispenser!? Which military barrack in Kenya (and anywhere else in the world for that matter ----see the artefacts retrieved by the Houthis from the pockets of slain Saudi bodies in Yemen) does not have a CHEMIST!? CAUTION: The caution is this: the AFRICAN CHAPTER is absent from this study! Well, you must have brothers, or sisters of the sisters of the cousins of your nephews in the Kenya Army. Just ask them how they think the budget-pressed US army is funding the KDF adventures over there in Somalia! Why outsource drug-running to the CIA to finance Kenya's military adventures to annex Somali shores full of oil and gas!? Why don't we delegate our leading Agricultural University of Technology, Egerton, to large-scale the herb know-how and, commercially, launch our own HOLYHUB chemical company! Forget about cancer if we can't even do (mosquito net) malaria and (clean water) dysentery. Check the infant mortality rates at your local Level 0 hospital, aka referral! So Okoth is cremated, or should we say smoked-out in this context, but his opinion, legalise that thing, is alive and kicking. NB: Nobody is talking about legalising weed for smoking. That is one is like daily air and readily available everywhere. A ban is just a pretence. The idea is an industrial scale economic program. Like the do in Canada, the USA. Coming from an area where the sugar industry has collapsed, and the bodaboda trade which has been absorbing heaps of youth has hit market saturation, my interests in industrial HEMP is beyond the stupidities which seemed to inform the knee-jerk responses of kina Kalonzo Musyoka to Sonko's legacy call: Light the Hemp to remember Ken!Dam-n! We have an imperialist war to fund, in Somalia. Those gas-filled waters are ours. But not for the taking. ---A tabloid tale I say! And now that the DNA pandora box has been opened! What is parentage before a DNA test!? We have kicked a wild dog awake, now the bite. That leap of faith a man makes to the hospital to hold his new baby in his arms for the first time, is now the butt of jokes in Kenyan homes: ngoja bwana, fanya DNA kwanza. And the attending nurse in matter of fact: 'you don't have a DNA cert, you don't see the baby. We don't want to be sued for baby-trafficking!'It is the matriarchal revenge on patriarchal impunity. ---Lets make all mpangos honourable ladies, and stop living in sin and indulging furtive fornication. Let us be open polygamists like my dad. My dad, may he rest in peace, I remember the look on his face when I told him I wont continue the family tradition of polygamy. One of the rare times he gave me a full smile and a cheeky wink. The old rascal knew his sonny boy was lying. He would be a polygamist, but too cowardly to face the world with it! And so most of us are officially monogamous, but simultaneously polygamous in reality. And of course neither does one-woman-one-husband mean one woman one man!For men not given to hypocrisy like my dad, these Okoth maneno's would just be the mischief of silly kids, confused by Christianity to deny their roving sexuality. CULTURE, WHICH CULTURE?

THE KIBRA KEN OKOTH SEND-OFF DEBATES: THE POLITICS OF THE HOLY WEED, MPANGO LOVES AND ILLIGITIMATE OFFSPRING!First a perspective; where we are as a national effort, money-management wise. The following backdrop is from David Ndii. Dr. Ndii the former NASA chief economist, and peoples shadow minister for finance. Of course Raila's embrace of corruption through the Handshake has seen Ndii banished to Siberia, so to speak. See footnote on the ideological depths of the word 'banned', when full light is shone. There, Kibra Ken Okoth. Learnt a thing or two in Austria or Australia, on matters to do with prudence with public funds. But the thing is, if one looks from a Jubilee to ODM governor, and from ODM books to Jubilee book-keeping, and from the kith of the Peoples to the kin of the duly elected's, back and forth and back again across the political divide, one can not fail to note the similarity at the end of ANIMAL FARM: impossible to tell the difference. This is why occasions to do with men like Ken Okoth and Kibutha Kibwana, generate so much flocking of the dirty-feathered birds. They hope to be rinsed some. NB: Yesterday I was rounding on the new Rotich and Thugge, Ukur Yattani and Julius Muia. I couldn't help noticing neither of the newbies has PUBLICLY TRASHED those calculations by David Ndii. No, not even Patrick Njoroge has dared. Then I become very Chineke the bird nervous. The Handshake and its billed fight on corruption is FAKE. If it aint fake then this is priority Ukur Yattani, Julius Muia, you have a different set of calculations!? showing it is Ouko math and Ndii math not adding up! That silence is how I know Ukur and Muia are Rotich and Thugge. I look at the books x5 a day, like pious Muslims pray, or, in this case the Swiss in their money-obsessed alpine alcove! --- wewe nani, Patrick Njoroge, sioni pale ile ndururu ya change ya mandazi ya Breakfast ya Ruto ime andikua, tafadhali rudia hesabu; na zile kobole tatu zilibaki baada ya kununua three turbines ya Itare dam ambazo hazifanyi, andika kwa main ledger pia, both in IFMIS and paper!!Do you know why we Swedes don't complain when our international aid to Africa is reported stolen? I was once asked by a sexy Swedish thing. 'No, my tummy churned in advance, 'do pray tell!' She blew me a kiss: 'if you leave a sack of dollars near a pen of sheep, and the sheep break out, tear the sack open and chew the green bucks to death, are you going to show temper at the beasts as if they were your equals, thinking like you do!?' ---There are moments I cheat myself Africa has panel-beaten my mind to shockproof. Then something like that happens and I melt to a babysh temper. The girl jumped back. And fled. She later told me my face had become a contortion of primordial venom and murder. Well, time has passed and I no longer spot a temper. On the contrary, I have adopted the Swedish superiority complex toward top African bureaucrats. If Njoroge and Rotich are, between them, Yale and Harvard distinctions econs, but can not oversee a mere $2bn Eurobond in use, why waste tempers loosing? sheep will be sheep, no!? Columbia or Stanford, still sheep! munching green bucks to death instead of building a dam! (NDII AND MIGUNA) BANISHMENT One could also deduce, Miguna Miguna has also been banned, modern style. That is, culturally speaking, and therefore politically obvious, The Handshake is a suppression effort on the peoples resistance. The deduction can be reached by a careful analysis of these WHYS: why has 1. The Handshake has come out vehemently against the Ekuru-sponsored referendum initiative, PUNDA IMECHOKA2. Is Miguna Miguna deported to Nyando, but, court orders, this Nyando in Canada! 3. Is Ndii in --so to speak--- Siberia, and (3b) a host of the then highly, mentally virile NASA thinkers, now become silent or domesticated subwoofers of the Handshake tones. There has had to be a purge. Yeah, Raila Odinga the peoples president comes with quite a radical entourage. To co-opt him into the establishment to underwrite the (ancien regime) status quo, Tinga has to shed off ballast, he has to pimp himself up! Like that process snakes undergo, called ROCH in dholuo. HOT POTATO KEN OKOTHKEN OKOTH was a wild one. A rebel with a cause. The ODM party tried to canonise him as a holy artefact of the party. Full of opportunism, the establishment tried to usurp, monopolise and cheaply ride on his popularity pull, only for the bones to stick in their throat. Because to fit the tall and wild Ken Okoth into the miniature party agenda, was always going to be the public act of a tabloid fool, or, better, scandalous public entertainment. 1. Kibra Ken Okoth was an avowed activist for the legalisation of that thing. ---Here is the celebrative song about it by the genius LEE SCRATCH PERRY. 2. Kibra Ken Okoth was, like Bob Colymore, a CREMATION man. --Your culture is burials you think!? Go on but leave Ken Okoth out of it. He left a contrary will of his own mind. Cynical Luo elders and their hired narratives, manipulatively pandering to political patrons subsidising their conservative antiquity, to hell with you! Please busy yourselves with the plight of our fishermen and the question of Migingo. Seek audience with Buganda elders to bring preace, or the Banyankole who bore Msebeni if you wish. Okoth left a will: cremation. But it must be noted this will to cremation has spooked everybody who thought they were close to Ken. 3. Ken Okoth, like most of us juggling the culturally sanctioned drive to masculine promiscuity against the one-man-one-wife Christian foolhardiness, which has been colonially enshrined as civilisation in the constitution, had a bumper extramarital love-life; and there was nothing secret about it. His only begotten son known so far, Jayden, with the beauty Queen Anita, is actually named after him, OKOTH! And the no-push-over mother of young Okoth Anne Muthoni N'Thumbi. (she) Wasn't really a clande. Even Eduard Sifuna knew long ago, for all his duplicituous last-minute turn-around. Because it was one of those high-five stories: how much rank Okoth pulled to have the mother of his baby-son nominated! It didn't smell of corruption, it was corruption, called nepotism, but Sonko knew that was the middle name of ODM those days, --- scroll down to see Wafula Buke's beef with his colleagues then. There was recently a lot of commotion at the former Orange House, about high party officials who nominated their girlfriends or mpango's or former business partners to the Nairobi assembly. Here is a hint from behind the scenes And Mike Sonko, in the thick of it for Ken's mpango, didn't mince his words neither. Ken Okoth pulled ranked ---in the army we used to say jingle the trigger----- to have his Anne nominated. These others were all supposed to be a secret in death. The totality of Kibra Ken Okoth's life was a picture too dark for the propaganda purposes of the party, the model family and wife, and the rest of the con artists whose profit is to hide the truth! Even with the Okoth-Muthoni ------ALL KIBRA NAIROBI slums famous---- lovefest an open secret to nearly all their family members, some still connived to keep Muthoni and her baby-boy away from the funeral arrangements of Big Daddy, Ken Okoth. Shetani people kabisa! Worse, some die-hard Luo conservatives with their sensitivities stepped on, are on record grumbling: 'to ang'o ma rach gi Nyi-Luo, yaye Omera, chiegi achiel Nyarachar, machielo to Okuyo!' ---What is wrong with Luo-Girls, Okoth Yo, that, that side you marry a White, this side a Mumbi! ALL HAIL MBUVI SONKO! Mike Mbuvi Sonko is a highly gifted man. He is a politician who can empathise genuinely. He does not need the cynical make-believe fakery, nor the calculated propaganda tears of the hardened professional politicians, the big men whose every word at a funeral is a crocodile's emotion, thinking of the famous scene the reptile shed tears! So Mike Mbuvi Sonko was not about to ignore Ken Okoth's (only?) son! At least the only one he knew. And to boot, a boy at whose genesis he stood. For the mother, Anne Muthoni Thumbi, had been on his team, The Sonko Rescue. (hind sight, they seem to have rescued Okoth from childlessness! I said HAIL, Mbuvi Sonko!) No, neither was the rescue-man about to join the GREAT POLITICAL OMERTA at the coffin side, where Ken Okoth's heartthrob and mother of his only known inheritor, was non-existent! ---Yawa! Consider some two old words with terrible emotional rings: Illegitimate (legal connotation), bas-tard (social ostracisation), both as denunciation or excommunication strategy, especially where social or material wealth is concerned. So did they seek to malign Tshaka Tzulu from his destiny. And so too did his brothers gang up on Joseph, to kill him off outright, or better, sell him as a slave to Egypt for corn or wheat! --This is the scene in Genesis 37 scene in which Reuben I see Sonko doing a Reuben on Ken Okoth's son. May he Jayden grow up into a Joseph! (of the Tom Mboya kind!) People like me don't bother with the Church I tell you. But we know our Bible. Studied it like we did Shakespeare for the exams.--'yesu nowacho, kik uriemb nyithindo, to gibi ira ku!' And Jesus said: don't thee chase away the children, but let them come to me! And all these scum chased away Okoth's boy, and only Sonko had the audacity to say, come Jayden Okoth, come grieve thy father! ---Mbuvi Sonko, I said HAIL! HAIL MBUVI SONKO! NB: for illegitimate, Kimirwa is the translation in old Luo conservative Lingo, which is the imagery Raila Odinga, at the behest of his brother Oburu, invoked in Siaya to ostracise the then sure-win gubernatorial candidate William Oduol. It so happened Oduol's blessings had been stolen by the popular party and bequeathed upon the Royal Cousin, Cornel Rasanga, but Oduol was still set to do what the Ugenyaman (Ugunja Mpig David Ochieng') recently pulled on the party choice, Chris Karan. It was a do or die for the family, Oburu claimed, and that is when the most horrid denunciations had to be unearthed to defeat the political career of William Oduol. And Oburu Odinga is of course the petty land thief of a railway plot in Kisumu. (NB: he says it is too miniature to be talked about as theft, considering Ruaraka and Ruto's Weston Lang'ata Hotel grab! Others retort Muizi ni Muizi, aibe billioni, aibe ata yai moja ya kuku mbofu! This debate on the proportionality of theft, we carry out later: should a serial killer get an equivalent serial consecutive life sentences where a one-time murderer gets only one life sentence!?).

ON THE INTERIM CABINET SECRETARIES FOR FINANCE, UKUR AND JULIUSThe King is Dead, Long Live The King! In one of the feats of the Greek Hero ,Hercules faces a multi-headed beast which regenerates its monstrous head no sooner than it is decapitated. But Hercules is the son of Zeus the Titan, wherefore, cornered to the extreme, he can rely on .... shall we say .... Deux ex Machina. For divine intervention. It is always a happy ending ----for the hero that is, unless of course the protagonist is female. No, no force, mortal or immortal, gets the better of female guile. Doubting Christian Toms can ask their God what happened to his Promised Paradise, aka Eden. O Eve, thy lips sweeter than the Lotus thine hips loftier than heavenly bodies; That fruit of the forbidden tree --O Eve, What a crime thee committed to put it to the test that forever we mortals be accursed to sweaty toilUnfortunately, confronted with the multi-headed demons haunting the vaults of the treasury ---name a few .... permanent cash-crunches, loans to pay loans, budgets that never will balance ..... whoever gets to the top of the comprador economy is a scripted exercise in ritual sacrifice. He or she is merely a damsel sacrificed to the lusts of the Minotaur, deep in the Labyrinths (of the WB&IMF castle!). ENTER THE NEW KIDS UKUR AND MUIA The question with Ukur Yatani and Julius Muia is therefore which powers, holding which strings, will be choreographing their puppet dance. It is a historically tough time globally speaking, with an escalating trade war between (a rising) China and the (declining) USA. This conjuncture is at a time when the Kenyan economy is more East than West, but the bureaucracy at her helm is, should I say, upside down --like Hegelian dialectics before Marx. Colloquially said: going East, speeding East, but always facing West. How much realistic grit, decided drive, does the Interim heart of Ukur hide, and how much independence of mind does Temporary Julius (stock), that the freshly treasury duo can concretise a few steps on behalf of (the now-oil-exporting!) Wanjiku? Are they but the latest (elite loyalist) cogs, cartel programmed and thoroughbred to dynastic supplication? Are they but the latest use articles procured to service the neo-colonial diktat --No pro people economic reforms!? --Mere proboscis toolmen or sucking tubes to channel debt reparations from an expropriated population? I heard Oscar Sudi's gut-wrenching mourn: Kweli Rotich ametumiwa kama tissue paper! But I think Oscar has his priorities wrong. For, for an alumnus of the renowned Kennedy School of economics (at Harvard) to allow his mind the bestial indulgence of a masochistic ritual in which he is treated as little more than tissue paper, the rewards must have been tremendous. As tremendous as, come to think of it, the bonuses some of the under-age girls who served as Lolita slaves in Jeffrey Epstein's Caribbean Orgygia, received to shut up forever, to let bygones be bygones. Howbeit here is a hint of dissent from one who wont. I just want to make this comforting point to the grieving Kalenjin, Oscar Sudi. Dr. Henry Rotich may have been tissue-paper, absorbing every dirt the dirtiest of unders threw at him, but he was so much made in the process he wont be a singing canary for Justice. No, he will be happy to accept a deal. Rotich is a thing which never developed an own mind. This could exactly be the chief characteristic which the scouts saw as gold in him, why he was parachuted to head the centre of looting, the treasury. A little bit of a person, say a normal being with that level of education Rotich has, would have developed moral complications, guilt-complex pricks, presiding the looting of money meant to permanently alleviate the water deficit of his own ever drought-stricken hometurf, Kerio. Todate, Rotich is still in denial. He ha shown no awareness whatsoever, no capabilities on introspection whatsoever to fathom the depths of his soul's rot. From angelic star to Lucifer.Let me put it another way, the deeply ruthless way from other reality. In lawless war, brutal to the hilt, many a journeyman soldier is given to wanton rape and murder. But given their own mothers and daughters to rape, even when they are high on drugs, even the most deranged of them develop a sense of proportion! Suddenly that is a bridge too far! Not everything goes! O elastic conscience's!! To the likes of Rotich, everything went. They were totally depersonalised by unchecked greed. Totally uninhibited by any inner force, neither of thought, oath, duty ... nor general deliberations on the moral scales. They rendered themselves wholly subhuman. --- Janeko oyien'g koro wang'o dero as we say in Luo. Given the political economy of Kenya, I think the risk remains huge as to be certain, that, encumbered with the temporariness or their incumbency, Ukur&Julius will be resigned to a happy-go-lucky predisposition. That is Yes, steady as she goes, lets not rock the ship; --'I am lucky to be here. Let us be and let be, eat and let eat in symbiotic balance. It is but a short stint.' In deed they oozed so much gratitude to the appointing authority it was difficult to see any semblance of residual autonomy Wanjiku could count on, given the interests of the Kenyatta dynasty are separate priorities from the nation's. I have concluded Ukur Yataani wont do, nor be allowed to do the first thing he gotta do. That is a comprehensive Githong'o-like Kroll audit of the treasury. You see, when you are untainted and you enter a corrupted den, the first COMMON SENSE, PROTOCOL thing to do, by the book, is the comprehensive financial statement. Such statements, for those whose reputations wish to mean a thing, will benchmark their performance on exit. It means, should they be branded thieves on departure, they can numerically verify the situation, they can then sue, and point with scorn at the lying leech trying their hard-worn reputation. I never heard anybody accuse John Githong'o of theft. Sir John is thus a fascinating cultural marker. Cultural marker I said. Because he just used COMMON SENSE. ---There is a country in Europe, Switzerland I think, whose culture thinks common sense is the definition of true genius in politics. And due diligence at book-keeping, holy. They rather check the books five times a day than pray even once a month! And I believe those Kenyans into mobile banking check their balances more often than they say prayers! Now, the minister of finance to catch up then! KENYA'S NATIONAL BUREAU OF FISCAL INVESTIGATIONS DCI Kinoti's bureau of fiscal investigations is amateurish, but with a little help from the United Kingdom, George has unravelled a thieving web of top bureaucrats in a few months. The UK was only too happy to ingratiate herself some, thinking of post-Brexit business-goodwill. Now, imagine what a COMPREHENSIVE, FORENSIC INVESTIGATION AND AUDIT by terrier sleuths specially contracted for the job, would have unearthed by now! ---Mesays it would easily be a KROLL II Scandal, only this time a whole cabinet imploded, the whole mandarinate decapitated, and the political elite nowhere to hide from the public anger. For starters That is not even scratching the surface. And already there is no cabinet if one were minded to fight graft. So imagine what a comprehensive dig would do! Starting from the treasury, the throbbing heart of graft. And that is an option to be nibbed in the bud. And therefore Ukur and his side kick, Julius, wont do common sense, wont go by the book. They wont drink good old clean water when thirsty. They wont clean up office. They wont be a breath of fresh air, nor after shave. Veterans will see through the cosmetics of the ladies of the night. Rotich is dead, long live Rotich. Thugge is dead, long live Thugge. How do we know the Kenyan bureaucracy have not done a Mozambique-loans scandal on us!? Ukur? Muia? Anybody!? Former PM Joseph Kinyua, The Mugumo Tree at the treasury, instructs his new pet. Hidden, Huh!? $2b!? Aint that just about equal to the first Kenyan Eurobond boom!? I need Patrick Njoroge to go public with: I aint nobody's tissue paper! My name is Patrick, not Rotich! I call that transparency. Because, Chineke the bird: since men have learnt to shoot without missing, I learnt to fly without stopping. Yaani, since the whole continent is awash with rotten central banks, I want to hear it from my own horse's very mouth, nay, I am cotton white!

The ministry of education was 'trusting' or naive enough to believe professor Swazuri at his word, written or not! --No further need for due diligence! Eish, these anglo-saxon doctorates from the commonwealth! what would they ever know about 'wirtschaftswunders'!
2 Suppose land records in Kenya at the master registy have been tampered with!? So that for istance the Taj Mal, later Airgate, could prove it was not on a road reserve!
