WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE!, OF UHURUTO ALLAINCE

I was watching a documentary on how crocodiles feed and  they do that  by opening their mouths for a long time and allowing all manner of non-suspecting insects to be attracted by the foul smell to settle in their mouths then they violently shut their mouth and feed on their prey. This analogy made me think of Uhuru and Ruto because this is exactly what they are doing .They have had their mouths wide open since they made that journey from the Hague and will soon shut their big foul mouths and consume us all. I am shocked at how the fate of 40m people can literally hang on the backs of two crimes against humanity suspects.It is so ironical that only yesterday an impeccable Kenyan by the name of PK he of tunawesmake fame offered himself for the leadership of this country but alas our tribal nature will hear none of it.


It is time Kenyans did some serious soul searching and ask themselves some very pertinent questions. First is as to whether we really want to turn our country in to a pariah state like Sudan or Somalia. We must remember that by electing these two ICC suspects as president and deputy we will become isolated in this ever shrinking global village. Many have been deluded to think that Kenya can look east and forget the west but a critical look at this fallacy will paint a very negative picture if we were to dismember relations with the west. Let us look at a few myths about the so called China influence , first of all how much  Kenyan goods do the Chinese actually buy compared to the west? ,secondly how many Chinese tourists visit Kenya compared to the western ones? and lastly how many Kenyans live freely in china and have been accepted as dual citizens in there compared to the west?. China has in the recent past demonstrated itself to be a major economic force but devoid of counterfeit products, economic espionage and currency manipulation its economy will collapse. Ask your self who is the number one consumer of Chinese goods in the world? ,which companies and corporations moved there for cheap labor and other strategic reasons? ,who’s population is uncontrollable that they have to send their citizens to Africa to roast maize and do manual labor?

America has been through some difficult times yes and they have realized that bringing back jobs to their shores is healthier for their economy and so is buying made in America ,these type of policies will soon slow china's growth  and the Chinese must always  remember  that there is cheap labor across the US border in south American countries ,on this front immigration issues will be buffered and so will the cost of production. China may be flourishing economically but poverty and low living standards is still the norm, democracy and human rights are still at an all time low, is this the big brother we should emulate, where dictators do as they please trampling on human rights as if there are no laws? ,I do not think so. Chinese international policy is see no evil , hear no evil ,say no evil ,so even if our elected leaders decide to eat babies for breakfast China will feel no obligation to speak for the vulnerable besides its might ,to me that is the height of cowardice.

In a nutshell, we can not have a president and his deputy who are  suspects of crimes against humanity .The judiciary should call their bluff by barring them from running for office and let the clean candidates compete fairly and may the best man or woman win. Alternatively in the event that the Kenyan courts decide otherwise then let us send a very clear message to William Ruto and Uhuru Kenyatta that we are not pawns in their defense strategy for their cases at the Hague. Kenya is bigger than two men who are drank on power and hubris, God help Kenya! 

Exposed –How Uhuru will match to statehouse come 2013

In the octane high politics that is the succession of Kibaki, we can now categorically reveal the big plan by GEMA to keep the coveted seat north of river Chania.The reason why you see Jirongo attracting all manner of vitriol is because whatever he is saying has a lot of truth in it, people like Musalia and Ruto are too naïve to see that they are being played. The plan is very simple but has to be executed with precision which  means zero leakage and that is why people like Mutula and Jirongo lives have now been threatened ,wonder why a helicopter that only few weeks prior to the Saitoti /Ojode crash was flown all the way from south Africa could suddenly have a malfunction? think again. The plan goes like this ,and it is already in play ,1-make sure all the major regions ,numerically off course, have a presidential candidate ,when the voter register is complete we all know that the mt Kenya region will have the highest registered voters and they have the money to encourage the highest voter turnout as well .Part two of the plan is the most sinister and it is to identify a sober mp from western or rv pay him out to bring to the house a miscellaneous bill that will abolish the 51% rule ,get it passed in a rushed “burn the midnight oil” session after which the president will duly sign it into law ,before the busy bodies aka civil society rush to court ,the courts will already be overwhelmed by court cases and the elections will go on and uhuru will win with slightly below 30% followed by mudavadi’s below 20% in that order. It is time to stay vigilante and ensure that this masters of impunity are defeated.Lastly the grenade attacks that have frequently taken place have nothing to do with alshabab ,these are mere smoke screens to create anxiety so that the laid out plans can be executed behind the smoke screen ,there isn’t a better time to do such things than when the public is gripped with fear and anxiety.

Why Ruto and Uhuru should be on the 2012 ballot

A lot has been said on whether the two ICC suspects should be constitutionally allowed to run for the Kenyan presidency in the forth coming elections ,I will give my opinion and I must come clean and say that it is purely out of strategic reasons and not for neither love nor hate of the two men. For starters I think Rift valley and central votes if put in one basket will be unbeatable even without the ICC debacle ,add the sexiness of the ICC ruling and these two communities will have more reason to rally behind the two alleged suspects and give them another 5 year lease of holding Kenya hostage .Whoever said that there are no permanent foes in politics was absolutely right, just imagine Ruto is accused of orchestrating the killing of innocent Kikuyu in Rift valley and Uhuru of doing the same to Kalenjins makes it astounding that now their supporters see in them collective “heroes” aptly named UHURUTO ,I ask my self heroes for what?, for killing innocent people? ,if Ruto was man enough he should have organized militia to attack security personnel and overturn the govt and uhuru on the other hand should have persuaded Kibaki to engage legal means in the name of Kenya army to secure the country ,attacking innocent unarmed civilians is the lowest low of cowardice, we wouldn’t have been in ICC if the latter was the scenario ,it would have been similar to when the KAF secured mt elgon area by flushing out SLDF.

Now back to the reason why I believe we need to gamble by letting these two ran for presidency ,first it will be the best way to keep them out of elective politics ,the constitution is very clear that when you run for president it disqualifies you for running concurrently for any other elective seats ,so they loose the presidency and we buy five years of not having to listen to their war cries.Second reason is quite obvious ,deny them the opportunity and they will have two grievances against their perceived enemies both real and imagined, one will be the ICC and second they will claim that someone has manipulated the constitution to lock them out of the race ,this will be potent political fodder for their naïve supporters and everyone knows these two are masters of the propaganda. They will hire the best spin doctors and we are already seeing them in numerous media outlets spewing their ill informed half-truths and disinformation,do i hear Mutahi Ngunyi?. By the end of it all they will not be in state house themselves but will have whoever they anoint deep in there pockets just like they have their communities. In the event that this unfortunate event happens then the country will still be under the tight grip of these two alleged war lords ,they will in total disregard of the new dispensation be rewarded with plum cabinet positions and impunity will “endelea”.

However if these two are on separate tickets then they can split the central Kenya / Rift valley votes and consequently loose honorably and remain silent until 2017;that will give us enough time to fully implement the constitution to a point that even if one of them is president in 2017 his hands will be tied by the law and order of constitutionalism. An opportunity has presented itself for the Progressive candidates to play realpolitik and seize the window of opportunity ,it does not knock twice-that is-if they pull together, and let Kenya have a truly new beginning ,are the progressives like ,Martha ,Peter K,Musyimi and ,Ole Kiyapi listening ?

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?
