No Kenyan had ever heard of a party known as RAP-K (Republican Alliance Party of Kenya) before the controversy that followed the announcement of Pastor Pius Muiru's political ambitions.
Party officials have since said that the famous evangelist is not the party's presidential candidate and neither have they reached a decision on who their presidential candidate will be in the forthcoming general elections.
One of the top RAP-K is very well known to this writer as an ambitious small business entrepreneur. Knowing him the way I do, it is clear that the pastor's announcement is very premature and too early in the game to meet the objectives of RAP-K or any other brief case political parties.
Indeed there are numerous brief case political parties out there and more are being registered every week. Yet for many of these parties, political office is not the main objective. The whole idea is to make some quick tax-free funds.
With this in mind, it does not make sense to announce the party's presidential candidate this early in the game. That would be absolutely ridiculous when this is potentially the biggest cash generator on the shelves. Brief case parties usually cash in most during party nominations but even more after party nominations of major political parties. Aggrieved parties who will have lost those elections will usually go out hunting for another party und which to stand for elections. Quite often a brief case party will have more than one person interested in the party nomination and I therefore becomes a question of willing buyer, willing seller.
You can guess the kind of money we are talking about for a desperate presidential hopeful who has missed the boat with their first choice party, but still want to go ahead and stand for president. They can pay anything, even millions of shillings.
In the event that this business idea is new to you, remember it is not too late to get a political party registered.
One word of caution though. Part of the reforms that the opposition are pushing to be passed before the elections is an amendment allowing for independent candidates. If they succeed against this rather stubborn administration and that becomes law before the next general elections, then this lucrative business idea will disintegrate overnight.
