Kalonzo "Obama" Musyoka?

archive

There is no doubt that Kalonzo Musyoka handlers have been watching a lot of American TV and more specifically Senator Barack Obama's campaign for the presidency.

Yesterday Musyoka's huge entourage brought business to a standstill along Ngong Road as he finally went to present his nomination papers as an ODM presidential candidate.

The whole scene reminded me of 1997 in the run up to the presidential elections when candidates went to present their papers to the electoral commission. The Raila Odinga and Charity Ngilu entourages were huge. In fact just looking at them you would have been convinced that the two were front-runners to win the presidency.

A few days later Daniel arap Moi and Mwai Kibaki quietly presented their papers to the electoral commission and the press made a big deal over the fact that they briefly shook hands at the unexpected meeting. Well as you know those two "quiet" candidates emerged as the top two that year. Interestingly all other candidates who have presented their papers so far have done so quietly, no doubt having handlers who do not see the need for a big statement to "prove" how popular they are.

  1. Chris/Kumekucha,

    Thanx for what you have said. I wish i knew your second name and we could be talking business.
    I had a word with a former colleague at the UON and I was told much. I dont dwell on that. lets not say anything about quality. It is not my wish to answer along lines that will make me fear meeting you in person. One day I will and we shall laugh. In one of your posts today, you told me that I am unprofessional (or rather you tried to belittle me for making a typographical error. EREONE and you even said that it should be EVERYONE. Thank you. But in the same reply, you made an error on the word thoise. Is it SIN that I made an error and you did not.
    In another post, you have in your 'headline' ORDOR and again ODOR in the body. No sin or mistake there: It is Kumekucha!
    The San Fransisco Times has nothing to do with brainwash. There is one journalist in New York (my former student) who visited the blog after the Jeff rumours and contacted me through email wondering why journalists from some parts of the world 'witch hunt' and that is the time I contacted a lecturer at the UON. Indeed he told me that a former lecturer at School of Journalism has tasted your broadside.
    This journo had a story about a West African working as an INTERN in their newspaper from the State UNI and always had journalists from his home town writing nasty things to the editors about him.
    In anycase, I am not even in San Fransisco I am lecturing in New York and I have been told you went to my old school; CHANGES, though no one knows your other name or full names.

  2. After Raila’s stunt at KICC, it would be foolish for Kalonzo to present his papers in the reclusive Ruto style. You must understand that Kalonzo almost needed heart transplant surgery right after Raila’s launch. I’m told he collapsed a couple of times in intense fits of anxiety attacks. The trick to appearing relevant must involve creating a perception of popularity. By showing up atop an SUV and plastering his posters all over the ODM-K headquarters, Kalonzo is trying to hoodwink his followers into thinking that he’s very much at home. This chap is on the ready… to bolt at the opportune time. That said, the days of media gullible voters are with us. Any meaningful campaign must be euphoric and replete with media blitz, theme songs, hummers, helicopters and boda-boda black mambas.

    anon’’’ are you suggesting that Chris is on the other wrestling team? Either way, it’s good you used “spell check” this time around. About your friends in San Francisco…well, you know that city is known for other things, right…. and it’s not brotherly love.

  3. You people are the biggest turn coats i have ever heard of. This Kalamari person is now telling us of a launch in kicc and trying to make us get to thinking that was in order but when kalonzo goes with his crowd to rainbow house, it is make up. Come on guys, u gotta stop these double standards. Chris, Chris you can be very sure we have been seeing lots of tv and are very astute students of tv. That is why we went shopping in kibera for supporters, the same marketplace raila goes. The difference is that we did not pay our crowd. You did not write a single word about the jaluos who were 'endorsing' raila in uhuru park a couple of months ago. Those were bought hooligans, but now u think that u can probably distort anybody's line of thinking.

    When Musalia tells us of Idd Amin, u guys are quick to call him a spent force. When Ruto says no to sycophancy, u start telling us about some economic crimes,PLEASE. When kalonzo does stuff that everyone else is doing, he is accused of 'having an inflated ego'. It is u guys who have an inflated ego.

    Publish Kalonzo's goofs and weaknessess alongside the 'popular angels'. and we will certainly read at the same page. Dont attempt to feed us with some open lies bout raila and expect us to take it with a stride. The pros and cons of everyone is all we want here. If there is anybody who likes 'cheating' people about his popularity is raila. He always goes shopping in kibera.

  4. Well well everybody is out backing his horse regardless of how ugly. Bt in the process we give leave to what is good for Kenya. Come on guys Ruto and Mudavadi are lny feeling sore after realizing that the Jewish goat fatening was never meant to be. The king maker wants to be king. Mulwaa and co you get the drift?

    As for anon he has completely lost it. We don't need your uninvited spell checks because even inferiot word can do it. You can be a better youth winger thant you are playing. Brother you seem to be leaving in yester days. Grow up and measure and stop the cheap lectures. Keep them to yourself
    because most of us were where you are (fascination with anything US and Western) in the last milennium. Just grow up and stop picking beefs where no vegetables exist. Be Kenyans from without or lose the plot.

  5. To all Kalonzo supporters (including mulwaa): Why is it that your boy is always a victim of some unfair propaganda? Why is it that he’s always writhing in pain about some poor media treatment or shabby handling? Why is he the constant victim of saboteurs? The sickening and almost tedious fact is that Kalonzo Musyoka only makes the news when he’s complaining about a plot against him by his shadowy detractors? It appears his strategy is to gunner for sympathy votes…..you know, the downtrodden candidate….or the boy who would be king.

    Well, he better jump out of those diapers because his cry-baby stance portrays a profoundly weak person with extra deficient personal initiative. This guy is running for president because he was told to do so….. not because of his ambitious nature. He has never been first on any issue… there’s no breaking news with this fellow…no excitement. It’s also apparent that his campaign managers and supporters consist of honey hunters incredibly frightened of bee stings. The boy is very afraid to appear anywhere close to Raila and it’s got nothing to do with height. Can any of you envision Kenya going to war with Kalonzo “sweet” Musyoka as the Commander in Chief??? this we cannot allow.

    This beautiful man of the year needs more handkerchiefs than Kenneth Kaunda!!

    So why the tirade on the chap from Ukambani. Well it’s about time people realized that these elections have nothing to do with issues. The visions, manifestos have been authored by one writer and printed at the same river road printer. This is going to be a battle of personalities. Having been blessed by the side show that is Kibakis’ ineptness for the past five years, would you now rather a man who will grab the bull by the horns or the boy who will cling on the tail??

  6. Kalamari i must admit the fact that all these mother fucking 'visions' are authored by one person and printed at Ngong road. But i am afraid if this is the kind of press you would call press, then i am one of those crying babies. You cannot advise me to consult Chris or whoever is the editor-in-chief at the standard. I will not do that coz these are 'river road' guys who are trying to reap where they never sowed. I mean, these are hired crooks who cant even name one journalism school in the world. These are people who should be selling mutura at kayole and here they are giving us 'political insights'. That is why some of us will never tire of telling these crooks that we have also been through 'character assasination' skuls. I was class prefect in one of those schools.

    Mulwaa these guys are on a mission to bring us together. I have not always supported your views. I am beginning to think you could come closest to what i would call a business partner. Keep it up dude. Only keep away from the tribal war. It's not gonna take u very far. It's gonna reduce u to one of the tribal cheerleaders we have here.

  7. Vikii, unfortunately there’s no such thing as CNN Kenya (maybe now never: with JK’s debacle). Our local editors may not know squat and have no clue where Columbia University is, however, they pick and choose the colorful front page pictures. They sometimes construct editorials that your candidate desperately needs in many positive doses. The fact that the “Machakos Daily Tribune” has a circulation of about 27 copies…per week, leaves you no choice but to adhere to Nation and Standard. Whereas you apparently have access to “real news”, most voters rely on “Taifa Leo” and that Sanyo transistor radio. Of course there’s the euphoric rallies where attendees receive 20 Ksh for displaying oranges and roses and ‘kalonzo for president’ placards…nothing wrong with that, actually if you think carefully, these handouts are really ‘tax returns”. Indulge!!

    As to whether this blog is a product of journalism or not, only the owner knows. I tend to think of it as an online diary. That’s taking into consideration the pungent menstruation stories.
