Kibaki Meets Annan

The following takes place in private at Harambee House between 10 am and 11 am one day after ODM called off its planned national countrywide rallies to protest the stalled political negotiations being held to resolve the disputed December general post election crisis

Annan & Mkapa: (rising politely) Good morning your Excellency….

Mkapa: (smiling, bowing slightly with outstretched hand) Shikamoo Rais Kibaki

Kibaki: (enters the room smiling) …gentlemen, sit please….Sijambo Benjamin, keti tafadhali

Annan: (sitting down) thank you sir, and thank you for agreeing to meet us so early this morning

Kibaki : thank you for the work you are doing and the support you have provided so far towards addressing the political situation in Kenya

Annan: (leaning slightly forward, speaking softly) well your excellency, that is why we are here this morning. Both negotiation teams have made almost no progress towards reaching an agreement on governance, despite the fact that they had the entire weekend to consult on their positions

Mkapa :(nodding) ndio Rais, daktari anasema ukweli

Kibaki: (turning round to face both men) a lot of progress has been made in the mediation talks and I am hopeful that a sustainable solution to this political challenge will be achieved

Annan: yes sir that is why I decided to directly engage both you and Honourable Raila Odinga personally to ensure that the talks reach a successful conclusion

Kibaki: (sounding curious) have you spoken to my friend Raila yet?

Annan: yes sir, and I was able to effectively persuade the Honourable member of your parliament to not go ahead with his earlier planned action intended for tomorrow….

Kibaki: (brightening) very good! That is why I commended you earlier my friend Ann. …..

Annan: (gently interrupting) sir, I only managed to appeal to him to postpone the planned mass action rallies until further notice….

Kibaki: (visibly taken back) postpone?

Annan: yes sir. Sir, the negotiations were at a critical stage when they stalled, and it is now urgently imperative upon both Honourable Raila and your excellency to reach a solution to the crisis at the negotiation table and not through planned street actions

Kibaki: (wearily sitting down, sighing)

Annan: Sir, as you are aware, I had set a deadline of 48-72 hours for both your party and that of Honourable Raila to agree on short term solutions to the crisis

Kibaki (nodding silently)

Annan: (continuing) the slow pace of our negotiations is due to disagreements between your negotiators and the ODMs, as well as the hardline posititons of both camps which has hampered the success of the talks.

Kibaki: (speaking slowly) its because they want me to create a prime minister position and I am prepared to do so-we shall do so, but only under the current constitution and in a coalition agreement

Annan: (leaning wearily back in his seat) yes your excellency, I understand your position

Kibaki :(speaking strongly) you know Annan my friend, there is no constitutional vacuum in the country

Annan: (nodding) yes sir, of course sir

Kibaki: (rubbing his hands together) now of course I am personally receptive to making constitutional changes that reflect the wishes of Kenyans

Suddenly a door opens and Martha Karua walks in briskly, leans over and whispers directly in Kibaki’s ear. Immediately after, she turns round and walks out without looking in the either Annan or Mkapa’s direction

Annan: (startled at the site of Karua; sweat breaks on his brow, and he takes a handkerchief out of his immaculate pocket and mops his forehead)

Mkapa: (slightly pale at the sight of Karua) are you ok Daktari? Do you want some glasses of water?

Annan: (shaking his head) no thank you Ben, I am fine, just the heat

Kibaki: (suddenly rising and walking behind a desk) gentlemen, I am afraid I have to be leaving soon but as I was saying I would like a speedy finalisation of this coalition government

Annan and Mkapa instinctively rise to their feet puzzled

Kibaki: (smiling) honourable Raila knows he can be a coalition partner under my Government even as a prime minister because the current constitution allows for this

Annan and Mkapa nod silently

Kibaki: (continuing) so, I am ready and willing to share responsibilities of my Government with ODM; please let my friend Raila know this

A door opens and Kalonzo Musyoka, Professor Sam Ongeri, Martha Karua, Mutula Kilonzo and Moses Wetangula walk single file into the room in silence. Smiling, Kalonzo walks upto Kibaki and stands by his right side looking directly at Annan and Mkapa

Annan: (thinking silently to himself….the meeting must be over)

Mkapa:(silently thinking to himself…..jeshi la mzee au nini hawa watu wa bara)

Annan: (smiling stiffly) thank you for your time your excellency

Mkapa: (smiling cheerfully) Kwaheri Rais, hamjambo wazir wa serikali

  1. Please, can somebody come up with some real news or even juicy rumors so that we can shred and throw rocks at.

    Let those deemed favored by the tidbit dance in glee while those aggrieved hurl epithets then a few hours later the reverse news comes and we start all over with reversed roles. In the meantime the country burns or simmers, people in tatters give toothless grins and state "rife is ngood, ka see ee eh deree"

    these poems, stories and dreams are better placed on those literary forums for the likes of sam okello, hellen okello, marianne briner and jeff koinange or their agents and masqueraders

  3. Whispers afloat PNU planning a terrorist sabotage- then plant the blame on Balala who they claim is a muslim foreigner and has no business being in Kenya

    what are this hardliners up to?? do they think they will get away with hurting kenyans with this act in order to stay in power?? do they think kenyans and the world is asleep?? many PNU members are not comfortable with this!!
    Kibaki and Martha Karua and cronies should be stopped now!!

  4. KUMEKUCHA IT IS IMPORTANT TO POST THIS REPLY!! I THINK WHEN PNU DOCUMENT WAS CIRCULATED - THEY HIT BACK WITH LIES OF THEIR OWN - CIRCULATING A FORGED DOCUMENT - BUT IT IS SAD TO NOT THAT WHEN JOURNALIST WENT TO CHECK ON THE DATES THE ALLEGED MEETING TOOK PLACE - THEY FOUND MOST OF THOSE MENTIONED WERE IN OTHER PLACES AND ACCOUNTED FOR THEIR MOVEMENTS THROUGH MEDIA REPORTS AND THE PUBLIC WITNESSES!!

    PNU IS REALLY CHEAPENING ITSELF- THEY MUST HAVE A WRONG ADVISER WHO DOES NOT THINK THROUGH BEFORE TELLING THE TO ACT!!


    NYONG’O RESPONDS TO AN ALLEGED ODM STRATEGY DOCUMENT CIRCULATING ON THE INTERNET


    The Democratic Party (DP) Secretary-General, George Nyamweya swore an affidavit on 11th January 2008 submitting a document called Executive Brief on the Positioning and Marketing of the ODM Presidential Candidate as evidence of ODM having prepared the post-election mayhem in advance. I am supposed to have been at the center of this diabolical arrangement. IT IS A LIE, PURE AND SIMPLE. Conceived in September last year by PNU, ignored by us then as a worthless endeavor, it continues to be spread via the internet to tarnish my name. I am now compelled to dismiss it following Nyamweya’s attempt to lend it credibility.

    The unfortunate current state of our nation requires that every bit of effort should be directed only at the single most important course – finding lasting peace that will return this nation to the path of prosperity for all. Peace, as we in ODM have said many times since the beginning of this current crisis, and indeed in earlier days, will only be realized when the full truth is told and justice is done. No justice can be done if we allow our political culture to be driven by baseless propaganda.

    But there are people like Nyamweya given to distractive and dangerous gossip and rumour mongering which know no bounds of times and conjectures in the history of our country. Such are the people responsible for producing this document. It bears the word ‘confidential’ and the date of 8th September 2007. The intention of this desperate propaganda material is cheap and clear. It is crafted to hoodwink Kenyans that the ODM campaign strategy in the last elections entailed the use of violence and whipping up ethnic tensions alongside other aberrations in decent politics.

    This is neither the first nor the only output from the ‘dirt unit’ of the forces pushing against the people’s popular drive for change under the leadership of the ODM. Yet it is the mention of the names of individuals in the party leadership as well as other known personalities in various sections of the Kenyan and international society that compels us to set the record straight. Never mind that the authors of this fabrication had no capacity to even establish the correct full names and titles of some of the public figures named in this disgusting failure of political intrigue.

    The contents of this fabrication are at variance with the facts of the ODM campaign strategy as well as the events and entities involved in our campaigns. For instance, as Secretary-General of the party, I did not attend any meeting of a party organ on 8th September 2007. On that date, as the records in my office will show, there was no party organ that met as alleged in the document. Moreover, any inspection of all ODM campaign material will reveal nothing close to this dirty language.

    This weak arsenal from the enemy’s armoury must be dismissed as a futile attempt to defend the indefensible. It is the work of persons who live under the illusion that truth and fiction are indistinguishable in politics. These are people who continue to live in an island of self denial. They are unable to rise above their prejudices and help us build democracy in our nation.


    Prof. Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o
    Secretary-General, ODM.

  5. Raila, take the deal on the table, it might be your last chance to coming that close to power. Poor thing, it is pride that is on your way and all those people you promised seats...;(

  6. I said yesterday and i am repeating it today a man who cannot control women especially if the woman is your wife, then that man caanot be entrusted with a whole country leave alone a company.
    There are only two dangerous women in this country...Karua (i repeat the only man dressed as a woman in PNU) and Muthoni wa Kibaki who will want to see this country goes under coz they dont care about anything but themselves....The only rememdy is we lock them up and throw the key in the lake or Wangari Maathai can mentor them.

  7. As long as one martha Karua is part of the PNU team, nothing much will be achieved, I get a strong feeling that her side shows are nothing but looking for mileage in the PNU 2012 succession battle.

    Her bad-mouthing of Annan and team was the lowest one can expect, I wonder who she would like to mediate the talks, The Pope ?, am sure he wouldnt be very happy with her in the first place !

  8. The 200 pple arrested in Western Kenya were undergoing training as part of the Mt Kenya offensive

    http://allafrica.com/stories/200802280002.html

    This coupled with the changes in the police force and the inclusion of the Ugandan army shows that the gvt wants the talks to fail;they are preparing to supress any discontent.

  10. The Pope can't stand Karua, he brought a priest down knowing very well that Wamugunda was supposed to remain celibate. Ashindwe
