The Fourth President of Kenya?

On the campaign trail,in bars ,on-line in the media and in the streets debate is rife. Political parties are formed , others are dying while others are being revived. All this is in an effort to capture the admiration of Kenyans and win their support for the coveted Office on the Hill that is state house. We have had insults exchanged , threats made and pompous manifestos crafted. They have told us they see the rising number of youths and know job creation is something they will want to look at. They have told us doing things the old way is what they want to break a way from. in all the things they say no one tells us how they will actually do what they claim will change matters in Kenya. i wonder if these leaders to be follow the news , do they for instant know about Greece. In light to they know how much debt Kenya needs to settle. thats not even the point, the quiz is how do they intent to raise the money that governments run on. How will they finance their grand ideas, this is one of the crucail question the presidentail hopefuls should be answering and not how one Raila should retire from politics.

Confirmed, Mudavadi is a project of Moi and Kibaki

I bumped into this article by Wycliffe Pemba Onzere on Facebook and thought its worth broadcasting.......its a tell of the weak and meek being clueless to the core.

Confirmed, Mudavadi is a project of Moi and Kibaki.I never lie,I'm open and honest and that's why I will die with Raila.I must break from the past.This also seals the fate of Ruto.Luhya's I told you Mudavadi is a broker who is going to auction you.You will continue languishing in poverty through the principle of Mwana Wefwe and shienyu ni shienyu.Hate me for telling you the truth as what matters to me is how to break out of the vicious circle and Mudavadi will not help me do that although he is my Mp and a fellow Maragoli.My main objective and desire to participate in general elections and to exercise my voting rights is to change the living standards of Kenyans and to unite them and not to enslave them through Mudavadi. Deputy Prime Minister Musalia Mudavadi’s departure from ODM to the United Democratic Front party can, politically speaking, be described as his ultimate political rebirth. However, who was behind the aura of confidence exhibited by the emboldened Sabatia MP of late? We can now reveal that President Kibaki and former President Moi played a key role in Mr Mudavadi’s latest move. Mr Mudavadi’s deal to join UDF was sealed surprisingly quickly, there was no time for public speculation. The choice of the UDF was quite telling. The party was formed by State House operatives. It is not a secret that one of the senior operatives guides the party and is its major resources mobiliser. Prior to Mr Mudavadi’s announcement, he met the senior operative at least twice — at his Kileleshwa home in Nairobi and at his rural home in Mululu, Vihiga County. UDF was formed as a potential vehicle for Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta to seek the presidency. It is unlikely that State House operatives would craft such a political strategy without the full approval of President Kibaki. On the other side of the coin, Mr Moi was involved in egging on the DPM to make a serious statement. During Mr Mudavadi’s visit to Rift Valley, where he said he had gone to consult, he lent his ear to well known Kanu loyalists. One of the most remarkable statements was by Mr Mark Too, a political broker in the Rift Valley. Mr Too said: “I know Musalia is the right one to be president. We want him to take the leadership from President Mwai Kibaki.” He went ahead to ask for support from the Luhya community as “we in the Rift Valley will fully support him.” In the meetings, Mr Mudavadi was referred to as lakwet nyo (our child). Instructively, Mr Mudavadi’s step mother comes from the Kalenjin community. The DPM capped his Rift Valley forays by visiting former Mr Moi at his Kabarak home in Nakuru. The three men are not new to each other. Musalia’s father, Moses Mudavadi, a career educationist in the 1950s, was a close friend of Mr Moi. And many years later in 2002, Mr Moi would craft his succession with Mr Mudavadi as his Vice-President and eventually a running mate of his preferred candidate, Mr Uhuru Kenyatta. Mr Too was a key strategist in the Moi succession plot. Curiously, Kanu was “heavily represented” at Mr Mudavadi’s defection event this week with secretary general Nick Salat one of the notable guests together with a horde of overly excited Kanu stalwarts

The Need for a Strong State

The other day, it was reported that the Prime minister wanted the ambassadors to market Kenya abroad. One wonders what there is to market Kenya about to anyone. It’s a pitiful position the ambassadors are in, but the piper has called the shot so they have to deliver. Otherwise they will face the sack right? Well not quite, no one will be sacked and none should as I do not see how one can be blamed for not doing enough to sell a mire meaningless sea shell that cannot be used for anything better than decoration.

Now you wonder why I call Kenya a useless shell good for nothing. Here I attempt to explain.
The initials idea that resulted in people moving from the bush and deciding to form governments within states was for the purpose of “personal protection”. A governments mandate therefore becomes that of ensuring that the interests of the people always come first. The people in this case therefore willingly surrender their rights to the state (government) with every hope that they shall be better off in the bigger entity.
Some people think mere rhetoric will solve the problems of this country. Yet others think throwing Raila out of the presidency will mean something for them. They are spending insurmountable figures in purchase of state of the art vehicles for their campaigns. They may be right but I bet you my butt on this one, these idiots have no clue what they need to do to make Kenya get where it should be. None of them understands the need for a stronger state. A state can and will stand for the rights of its people, come what may.  This means being able to deal with errant neighbors like Uganda who want a piece of our land decisively. I know no man who will negotiate with another man if he happens to catch him with his wife in his own house. When that happen, if it ever happens I want to be the first to tell the whole world about it. It will be hot news! Well before I get drolly about how much profit I will make selling the story let me remind myself.  Never! Never!.. Never! Ever! Ask Maina Kageni, I am sure he will volunteer the answer for free. So that is settled. Museveni’s Expansionist interest like those of Hitler should be tamed outrightly, lest we call in the “allied forces”.

China must be tamed. I am not campaigning against the country, the effects of its nature of engagement with Africa is questionable. I see no reason why Kenya 40 plus years on still needs to get Chinese contractors to make its roads. I see no reason whatsoever! Countries that have industrialized after the era of colonialism did it themselves.  That is why it is paramount for the planning team to ensure training of the right personnel is done even if it means by force. We must nurture our own, for our own sake.

Of let I have become a reader of political literature and my sojourn in the political lands has proved one thing. There comes a time when a country needs a real dictator, but not one who subjugates democracy as such but one who fights for it with his life. Now that is a concoction I have no clue how to mix but trust me it tastes nice after 10 to 20 years. Please don’t ask me how a dictator won’t squash democracy but who needs democracy if it is not delivering. It never does, not in principle at least.

The Current Kenyan government does not care about its people, the high food prices,the floods,the fluctuating fuel prices, the errant Mps and a rather sloppy President are not fit to uphold  the social contract any longer.
