Mutava Musyimi: The Next Vice President?

The truth is that the Kibaki administration never really recovered from the death of former Vice President Wamalwa Kijana. In retrospect the late Wamalwa was an amazingly effective stabilizing factor in the Kibaki government and had he lived there is no doubt that this government would have come out with a much better score card.

Naturally this has a lot to do with the late Wamalwa's personality, the man could actually talk to anybody. The very opposite of president Kibaki himself who is said to only find something to discuss with former Makerere alumni and other high ranking scholars from some of the world's top universities.

Now word reaching this blogger is that the President is very enthusiastic about Musyimi's entry into politics, which analysts believe was as a result of being urged on and prodded regularly by the president. In fact many analysts see Musyimi fitting into the shoes of the late Kijana Wamalwa and he could easily be the president's choice for Vice President.

In fact it is clear that the Rev Musyimi will be President Kibaki's secret weapon in this years' general elections.

Interestingly many people, including ODM-Kenya are still fast asleep because if they were awake they would now be directing most of their fire in the direction of Rev Musyimi.

And if I were the president I would get Rev Musyimi to launch his campaign in his own party and even vigorously campaign for the presidency himself and then step down to back president Kibaki only at the eleventh hour.
