KIbaki has already endorsed Raila

In his typical style Kibaki has already endorsed his co-principal aka RAO without as much as moving his lips, sounds crazy huh?My hypothesis is based on the fact that Kibaki is not one who speaks alot unless it is absolutely necessary or it involves marital matters such as denying a concubine, but that’s a story for another day.Being the proud man that he is I’m sure Tinga must have painstakingly persuaded him to rudisha mkono in a conversation that went something like this,RAO”mbona wewe apana weza sema mimi tosa kama vile nili kufanyia 2002?” then gen Kibs says “wewe wacha ,kwani uri sema tosha dio mimi ni seme wewe tosha au ni kwa sababu urijua huwezi pata ,bure tu” ,RAO” lakini kama si mimi si Ouru angekua ana lala state house?” gen Kibs “ok ok nta sema wewe tosha lakini sita sema kwa maneno , kitu nta fanya nta kataa kumu support kijana wa sigara alafu wewe uta pata easy time au sio?” RAO “sawa hio pana mbaya ,kwa hivyo kwa kuto sema uhuru tosha una maanisha mimi tosha si ndio?” Gen Kibs “si semi kitu ,had you been to makerere and London school of business haunge uliza hio” LOL.

I DARE SAY TUJU STONED HIMSELF IN KISUMU

I’m sick and tired of hearing everybody generalize luo’s as nothing but stone throwers after the Kisumu incident involving Hon Raphael Tuju last week. The main question I ask myself and others is who is the single most beneficiary of this incident? Politically off course. If your answer is Tuju then naturally whoever stands to benefits most must be the one who organized youths to pelt his convoy with rocks, after all a few broken auto glass is pocket change to such a wealthy man. Raila isn’t going to get any political mileage by instructing youths to stone his opponent ,as many have noticed by now he is slowly metamorphosing to cast an image of a national leader and is reaching out to other communities which were considered hostile to ODM ,to organize such a silly incident will not make any sense especially when the stakes are so high.Tuju on the other hand who until last week was not featuring any where in the 2012 political talk has just gained tonnes of media coverage by this one incident. Coming from a mainstream media back ground you must agree that his was a genius strategy to get the nation to notice him and talk about him hence becoming relevant, remember it was alleged that Mwau shot at his own car and also that someone planted a fake grenade at his office,we must always remember that a politician is a politician no matter how savvy or suave. Another angle could be Raila phobic’s on the other side could have easily paid a few idle youth to attack Tuju's convoy just so they can blame it on ODM ,after all they have promised to use “all means necessary “ to cut Tinga to size. The clips that are all over the internet clearly show that those who walked with and listened to Tuju out numbered the stone throwers ,so majority of kisumu residents can be said to be tolerant and open mined.

Lets analyze this front runner objectively

How kazi kwa Vijana can be put in better use.

The word is “capacity building”, where the govt and World Bank should identify existing projects and small businesses to strengthen their output and hence create employment for more youths. Direct payments to youths to perform menial labor is just the same as giving a homeless person food for today and hoping his problems will go away. We must create gainful and productive employment, that is the bottom line. Another alternative is to give employers incentives for hiring any new inexperienced workers, these incentives can be in the form of tax breaks, direct compensation or as conditions to get numerous government contracts. It can not be overemphasized that it is time for change and the old order can not be relied upon to move Kenya to the next level.Since our population has almost doubled since independence we can not rely on the same pie that we had at independence, we need to seriously consider a 24 hour economy to provide employment for the 50% unemployed;this will not and can never be achieved if we continue to import oranges and pencils. The govt must immediately ban importation of anything that can be manufactured locally. The so called industrial project that was recently revived by the president is a useless endeavor to say the least, why should we dream of making a car when we can not even make a bicycle? ,lets starts with realistic baby steps , I have never seen a 6month old baby run in a 100m race.Govt contracts like supply of bottled water and juices for offices must be channeled to small business who manufacture from small farms or homes and believe me they are many ,off course conditions like employing others must be met. Let me conclude by saying this, I think the progressive candidates in 2012 will agree with most of what has been discussed here for obvious reasons, I will now candidly address them. Peter Kenneth, Martha Karua and Raphael Tuju, you can do great things for this country if the three of you unite and make a formidable third force but if you try to change Kenya individually I have three guaranteed words for you “YOU WILL FAIL”. The PNU and ODM have more resources individually then the three of you put together but there is a window of opportunity ,I see the PNU and ODM as the proverbial “kilkeney cats” who fought each other so bitterly there was none left to win .This is the window of opportunity but it can only be achieved through unity of purpose ,you will not have to lift a finger to fight these two self destructive lords of impunity, when nothing but their tails are left you will make the grand march to state house and change this country forever .I will leave it to the three of you to invite other like minded leaders to our camp, a good example is Mutava Musyimi ,my personal line up will be Raphael Tuju for President ,running mate Martha Karaua and PK will be certainly the first secretary of Finance under the new constitution, he will have another stab at the presidency in 2022.Why I say this is because across the nation Kenyans want to feel that the presidency is not a prestige of one community ,to shove this school of thought will be naïve or what do you think?
