Mutula Kilonzo 1948-2013 Kenya Mourns

Its with profound sadness that  the Kenyan people received the news of the death of one of the  their loved son. Mr Mutula Kilizo according to the media was found dead in his bedroom
Messages of condolences are a wash in the social media point to the fact that many Kenyans were shocked on getting the news . His death came in the wake of threatening sms he received some few months ago. on this backdrop one wonders whether his death was natural and act of some retched soul

The Uhuru Ruto Political Affair

Not so long from now according to my good friend Arafat, the Uhuru Ruto story may read like this."The whole theme of fate, story of sadistic political pleasure, scheming and a game of survival in the new regime: President Kenyatta shall be Commander in Chief, but Hon Ruto will not be deputy Commander in Chief. President Kenyatta will strive to leave a legacy that is purely his, and Hon Ruto's undoing would be to try and out-shine his master Uhuru Kenyatta. Remember Ruto is brilliant, ambitious, energetic and will want to demonstrate that he is a performer., so he will want to show smartness. If such happens, not Uhuru but Uhuru's handlers and the hidden "öwners" of the Uhuru presidency will tactfully work to deflate Ruto. In this effort, they will want to portray Ruto as a "trophy" political companion, aware that Uhuru desperately needed Ruto so as to win the presidency but he doesn't need Ruto to sustain the presidency and a legacy. At this point, Uhuru will start emerging as his own man and top politician who is not necessarily using Ruto as political crutches. If it gets here, the Kalenjin community will have a sense of loss and feel betrayed a second time, with the conclusion that Ruto misled them yet again. They will not want to trust him again. They will start grooming and fanning a different youthful leader to rival Ruto. If the elders distrust Ruto, then he would be an underling and his fate would be like that of Julius Caesar. Uhuru then would be keen to spruce up and work with such new Kalenjin leader with the support of Luhya, Maasai and possibly coastal point-men. Uhuru's interest would be to reduce Ruto's political muscle with a keen eye on winning the second term."
Call it the wish of naysayers or just call it what you will but i think this is not so different from the real script we shall be reading within the year.

Reckless Leadership : Uhuru's presidency

Uhuru Kenyatta could have made it well well if only he could tame his mouth. We know not any sensible leader who spits allover the place without a care in the world and still be able to move a country forward. Even those who thought they were very able like Gaddafi finally fell pray to their own foolishness. Bright minds will tell you its a matter of time befor real demons come chasing after Uhuru...this time round he will wish he never punked Musalia.
