THE FALL OF THE ‘HUSTLER’ ENGINEERED BY UHURU AND Mt KENYA OLIGARCHS

The proverbial swahili saying “siku ya nyani kufa miti yote huteleza” is very much at play in Kenya politics, if events of the recent past are anything to go by. William Ruto, the self proclaimed “hustler” is under siege, watching helplessly and hopelessly as his Presidential ambitions evaporates into thin air. That does not mean he cannot contest the Presidency. No. He can go ahead and contest, just like Abduba Dida and Aukur Aukot will contest, in the spirit of “democratic right”.

In our contemporary political history, King makers have never become Kings and it’s crystal clear that history is here to repeat itself. Jaramogi Oginga Odinga made Jomo Kenyatta a King, Charles Mugane Njonjo rebelled against his fellow Mt Kenya Mafia to scuttle the Change the Constitution Movement and solely made Moi a King, Raila Odinga made Emilio Mwai Kibaki a King in 2003. In all this instances, the Kings applied the principle of “finish the King maker once you become a King, one of the clauses in the 48 Laws of Power by Robert Green. Things do not look very different now.

Uhuru’s first term as President was characterised by monumental challenges due to illegitimacy and constant aggressive onslaughts fronted by Raila Odinga. After being sworn for the second term on 28th November 2017, Uhuru was faced with the dilemma of whether he should continue to protect the 2022 interests of William Ruto or whether he should embark on working on his legacy. It’s difficult to achieve the two together,simultaneously. He chose the later and decided to shake hands with Raila.

The handshake was not the normal handshake for Uhuru. It was very significant in every sense for several reasons:

  1. The handshake handed Uhuru the legitimacy to govern.

  2. With the handshake, Raila granted him the requisite political stability space to implement the Big 4 Agenda.

  3. Raila is on record assisting Kibaki to build his legacy in his second term from 2008 to 2012.

Uhuru needs Raila’s input in building his legacy, lest he goes down in history as the worst President Kenya has ever had. Besides legitimacy, political stability and legacy, Raila’s comes in very handy for a very monumental mission to be accomplished in 2022. The interests of the oligarchs are threatened by the ambitions of a fellow propagating the “son of a peasant” ideology. For Raila, it’s a golden opportunity to revenge against Ruto for helping the oligarchs to stop him from becoming President in 2013 and 2017 in line with the swahili saying “malipo ni hapa hapa duniani”.

The only politician in Kenya’s history to have pushed the combined oligarchs to the limit is Raila. He has thrice brought Kenya on the brink while challenging the oligarchs on the Presidency. He is aggressive, fearless, unstoppable and very strategic. He has been dangerous to the oligarchs.Now give Raila a candidate in 2022 and state resources to stop Ruto and you can imagine how the battle will be like.

Raila is a dynasty yes, but a dynasty that has for several years been rebelious to the other dynasties. The oligarchs do not like people who speak the language of reform, people who lament about the price of unga et al, and Raila happened to be that person. That is why he was an enemy of the system.
But with the handshake, Raila seems to have been rehabilitated into the system and is willing to play along – at least in the big assignment of the 2022 transition. And by the way, if Raila has given in and agreed that we shall surely never get a President through the ballot, who else can do what he has done in three consecutive elections? A rhetorical question for debate another day.

The combination of the oligarchs is one lethal force to reckon with.They appear top on the list of most richest people in Kenya,. Their combined experience in politics is up to 400 years or so. They control the state machinery, they can manipulate the Nairobi Stoke Exchange prices at will, they have their fingers, ears and eyes in every sector. In short they own Kenya and they control life.

Sun Tzu in his book “The Art of War” says ; ” There are roads which must not be followed, armies which must not be attacked, towns which must not be besieged, positions which must not be contested, commands of the sovereign which must not be obeyed”. Anybody, including me, can contest the Presidency, but not anybody can become President. Queuing to vote is a formality, but the President is selected through boardroom rituals by the system. At least we can now agree so, after several years of struggling and fighting to make the vote count, in vain.

William Ruto Is on a mission impossible. The sword that he sharpened will be used against him. In 2013, Raila told Ruto, “after they are done with me, they will turn to you”. They are done with Raila, Ruto is next. We are headed into a repeat of 2002. If Raila will not contest, he and the oligarchs will agree on a compromise candidate, but not Ruto.In that arrangement of the oligarchs agreeing on a compromise candidate Uhuru will play not betraying Ruto. He will stand with him to the end, escort him to defeat and eventually stand behind him as he concedes defeat, while Raila delivers a President agreed by the system. Uhuru will tell Ruto; ” you see I have supported you, we have tried but lost. We don’t want bloodshed again. Let us concede defeat”.
And that is how Ruto will replace Raila in the opposition.

I think that handshake by Uhuru was a strategic move to keep Ruto in check. Some very wise person advised Uhuru that Ruto needed to be checked and the only way to do so was to give him something/someone else to think about. A man without problems is a dangerous man, and Ruto was becoming dangerous. It is a power play.

As always, even Jaramogi was not paid back for saying ‘let’s wait for Kenyatta’

It is too early for all this political church… Save us the drama till 2020

Upus + idle mind/s at work

A story form olden times. The finest city in the Near East was in the hands of the Persians, and was looted and razed to the ground. Cyrus the Great had Croesus, king of Lydia tied to a stake and gave orders for him to be burned. However, he later felt sorry for the monarch, and tried to have the fire extinguished. No attempts could put out the flames, but just then a downpour doused the fire. The Persian sovereign became convinced that Croesus was favoured by the Gods, and had him called to his side. He asked, “Croesus, who told you to attack my land and meet me as an enemy instead of a friend?”

The King replied, “It was caused by your good fate and my bad fate. It was the fault of the Greek gods, who with their arrogance encouraged me to march on to your lands. Nobody is mad enough to choose war whilst there is peace. During times of peace, the sons bury their fathers, but in war it is the fathers who send their sons to the grave.” Cyrus liked these words, and having Croesus untied, he drew him near.

Croesus looked at the city of Sardis, which was being looted at the time and begged permission to speak. When Cyrus gave him permission, he asked what the mobs were doing. Cyrus replied that they were looting the city, whereupon Croesus replied, “The city is no longer mine, it is your city they are looting.”
Herodotus, The Histories

Please understand this Jaramogi did not make anyone President…prisss and this is not from a tribal point of view but a historical fact. Hiyo kiti hangekalia whether he wanted to or not…not in 1963.
Another fact, Raila did not help Kibaki implement anything. He was perennial whiner and useless

Politics is about public perception. What actually happened or didn’t happen is never here nor there.

That piece was written by a Rao disciple, the 6th and 7th paragraphs sold him out.

Ruto was not born rich and that is why he connects so well with the masses on the campaign trail. Ruto will just need to carefully choose a running mate and the rest will be easy.
But 2022 ni mbali sana. Kunavile there could be World War III

Good vibes you got good thoughts too

That school of thought is the reason we have the kind of leadership we have in Kenya…even America are paying dearly for the same with Trump

Advancing the Jaramogi-helped-Jomo-become-president narrative is one of the most perpetrated lies in the country. Just like Lumumba, Jaramogi would have been deadened by the CIA. Tom Mboya hated Jaramogi country ass and would have sold him out. Tom would have played ball with Jomo, still gotten iced in '69 and Jomo would have become president then. Just my hallucinations though!
