MUDAVADI + UHURU, TWO HIJACKERS HIJACKED THEMSELVES;MUSALIA SASA ANALIA

breastfed

There is a hilarious joke doing rounds that on a give and take basis Mudavadi will trounce CORD Raila before noon come March 4^th 2013. Ooh, Please! That is a will-o’ the wisp even the gambler will not risk.

Snippets

• Mudavadi is a hijacked driver out to help criminals on Hot-pursuit to elude police check point (ICC…)
• Elites in statehouse busy on the crack to re-install their high-paying jobs
• Elite mafia fear Raila will shake up the civil service and statehouse from leeches and endo-parasites
• With Mudavadi we are stuck as a country; soft & manipulable given the terms and conditions of flagbearship
• The status quo will continue.  70% (per cent) of Nairobians will still walk to work;  Humanitarian agencies like World Vision, Red Cross,UNICEF will keep on feeding millions of people especially in Rift Valley and  Eastern.
• As it is we will continue being watchmen at Ksh. 3,000 per month, bodaboda riders living hand to mouth, University graduates fighting for a space in Muthurwa or Kibuye for second-hand merchandise, etc
• Vote thee well

There is a hilarious joke doing rounds that on a give and take Mudavadi will trounce CORD Raila before noon come March 4^th 2013. Ooh, Please! That is a will-o’ the wisp even the gambler will not risk.

Will-o’ the wisp that ghost lantern in the folklore that used to lure gullible travellers who thought it’s a house ahead only to suddenly find themselves standing at the edge of a vast chasm with roaring torrents of water rushing below, leaving the traveler away from safe and reliable route.  Musalia has proved to be that ‘Will the wisp’ who through his soft docile demeanour we are tempted to think he will deliver us to a safe abode at the horizon. But on the contrary, as the real Will the Wisp, the ghost of a blacksmith that was given an ember from the fires of hell, after defying reforms by St. Peter in Heaven’s gate and being denied access to Hell by devil revenging, will-o’ the wisp in Mudavadi has settled to turn the ember meant to warm him and light his way in the twilight world to lure the Luhya travellers into a chasm.  The wishful thinking of him delivering the seat is whimsical.

   

As a people and as a 50-year-old nation we might get another so called new fourth president (Bus driver with moderate driving skills and no road experience; getting all sorts of advice on which gear to engage, which indicator to sign, which passengers to pick, when to accelerate or apply break or when to do both depending on the number of cheerleaders in the bus.)  These cheerleaders comprise a group of elites in Statehouse which I’d like to call ‘Central Mafioso’ who are busy on the crack to re-install their high-paying jobs in the next government (read DN 16 Dec 2012).  These Mafia are at it hammer and thongs to secure Mudavadi for his perceived ‘Mr gentle-nice-guy’, a manipulable marionette for easy hegemony.  Uhuru Kenyatta is among the mafia ring leaders.  These Mafia are at it because for them Raila will shake up the civil service and the statehouse from leeches and endo-parasites for realignment and REFORMS (Ouch!)

Yes agree with me Raila might not be the best, but hey, he is the only bus driver willing to fire-all for our sake.  Why would we like to remain stuck with an undecided driver (Messy), with one of the world’s most dilapidated bus, with the same old myriad of mechanical problems (impunity, corruption), same old makangas (top civil servants and MPs), same old untrustworthy mechanics (key government institutions), same old rough and rowdy passengers (tribalists).  And yet keep looking in the wrong place for explanations and the wrong directions for visions of change.

If we argue Mudamba Messi is docile enough for presidency, with no other choice on March 5^th 2013, thanks to “Let Kenyans Decide” political sympathies, we will swallow our collective Kenyan pride and accept -- proudly Kenyan – to be driven by a charlatan driver hijacked to overpass a police checkpoint(read ICC, elitism, mafiadom).  To be driven on the same old unpaved roads with no road signs (lackadaisical leadership) where wild and whacky chimpanzees in the name of matatu-drivers go berserk ensuring Kenyans of inevitable terrorism.  That is the government of ‘Messy’ Musa…, sorry I mean the Manacled Uhurusamoei.

The status quo will continue.  70% (per cent) of Nairobians will walk to work. Not because we are a health-conscious nation, but because we cannot afford the fare and food price simultaneously, things remaining same as now.  The places we call our homes where we ‘hide in the evening’ will continue being shanties located in convoluted, narrow corridors over open sewers with incessant stench of putrefied garbage.

Humanitarian agencies like World Vision, Red Cross, Blue Cross, UNICEF will keep on feeding millions of people especially the pastoralist in Rift Valley, North Eastern and Northern Kenya where malnutrition have hit 44% (almost a world record).

The citizenry naivety of their own plights will continue being watchmen at Ksh. 3,000 per month, bodaboda riders living hand to mouth, University graduates fighting for a space in Muthurwa or Kibuye for second-hand merchandise. That will be our souvenir for bad decision, which CNN, BBC and ALJAZEERA will glaringly put out “KENYA DECIDE SOFT PHARAOH 2013’

I guess what I am saying is a ‘PROJECT’ or ‘MANACLED GENT’ with statehouse on offer will never win the heart of Kenyan people, however, any amount of money used. Not so fast this second decade of millennium. Kenyans are not that dump and these chaps are going to learn the hard way.  You cannot run around with your presidential selling point being to maintain status quo of a few Mafioso, leeches and endo-parasites in statehouse enjoying all the trappings of state patronage!

This time Kenyans may act stupid but they are not that stupid.

Vote thee well.

PEACE MUST PREVAIL IN KENYA

Kenya's heart

When the courts remanded one Waititu on Thursday (27^th September 2012) following his remarks in Kayole, Kenyans’ hearts gave a unanimous rousing ovation to the much hyped ‘judicial reforms’ that is maturing presto.  The social medial went frantic on Chief Justice Will Mutunga’s decisive leadership in the Judiciary taking center-stage in the fight against impunity and political lawlessness.  Surely, the three lives lost indecently due to the reckless statement, must be impressed, smiling at the judiciary determination of turning around this country.  The legal action against Waititu served as a precedent to dissuade other culprits of his ilk from polarising the citizenship.

Unfortunately, that is where our jubilations ended and the worries began.

Given the still lingering bitter-taste in our mouths after the 2007/08 pandemonium, and given we are approaching a similar time in the history of Kenya, what we have witnessed in Kilifi, Tana, Mombasa and Kisumu in the past few days is frightening and painfully so even by the deplorable standards that has always governed this country.  Therefore, such primitive and archaic incitements, harmless as they may appear to the literate, lethal they may be to the illiterate lot out there and should never ever be entertained anywhere on the Kenyan soil.  Later, releasing Waititu on a just 1 million bail was an insult to Kenyans, to the lost lives, and a tell-all of how in Kenya, murder, whether in first or second or third degree, is an obvious thing, can be denied and easily bailed out with a few affordable millions.  What a fragile rule of law.

As a concerned citizen, and a peace-loving youth, the worrying trend is that the disguised vengeance in poverty, unemployment, drug abuse, tribalism and illiteracy in our youths is boiling up really hard snowballing by the day into a nasty time-bomb awaiting ‘sparking plug’ from Waititus of this world.  What if he was not caught on camera?  What if a senior police was not beside him on the scene?  We could be still baffled the same way we have done on Tana River massacre so far.

This is bound to happen again because it is happening again.  Kisumu town, with its fair share of tribal troubles, is equally spiralling out of control with the emergence of two youth gangs: Chinese Squad (for TNA in Nyalenda) and American Marine (for ODM Kondele), all a spin-off of Baghdad Boys (Jeshi la Mzee), a proscribed group that has been terrorising Kondele junction along a trunk road opening Western Kenya and leading to almost all dormitory suburbs in the town.

The perpetrators, the schemers and the financers of the erstwhile gang are yet to be identified and dealt with maybe after we have butchered one another once more (God forbid!).  Right or wrong rumour has it that the new group members are swearing they must loot as they admire the looting that occurred in 2007.

The chilling message is that these kinds of militia, having not been demobilised so far, seem to have multiplied with newer formations and bull-headed stamina in a menacing rate.  That itself is worrying but what aggravates the matter is when the police have all indications that they have been overpowered, overwhelmed and downtrodden.  If I were the PPO I could suggest a curfew to idlers along Kondele, Nyalenda and Bus Park at least to put this groups under check, I could also crackdown the already known culprits. But any junior-most police officer will tell you even the PPO is only available in Kisumu in very few limited days.

The rapidity of occurrence of criminal activities by such groups compounded by a whimsical whiff of concern or conscience from political leaders and a frail robustness of counteraction by national security agencies usually result in massive destruction of properties or loss of lives.  In such cases, then, we are stuck as a nation, and we have stuck tragically in the wrong end.  In deed this is a tragedy of our nation, a nation cursed with a clues government, a government that could watch her citizens languish or even die in the hands of crooks without even blabbering for a massive emergency response.  Is it true the government doesn’t know itself?  Even the political leaders pointing fingers at the government?  Who is he/she anyway?

As they say, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
