Multiple Choice Exam On William Ruto And Aging Politicians

Here is a multiple choice exam for you. My sincere apologies to all because I know the great phobia that Kenyans have for examinations. Can’t blame them when our educational system is what it is, little wonder that parents have no qualms buying leaked examination papers.

Please tick only one answer because ticking 2 shall automatically be marked wrong by the computer (sorry you can’t bribe it). You have up to 30 minutes to carefully think and consider before marking the correct answer. (maximum marks 100 and a pat on your back from yourself)

Good Luck.

1. If you were William Ruto and you happen to receive a visa ban from United States, would you;

a) Become the good man you never were and keep your mouth sealed. After all there is a sizeable number of Kenyans who do NOT believe that it is Ruto.

b) Become the good man you never were and apologize to the Kenyan people for all your sins of omission and commission of the past asking them to forgive you but allow you to keep your ill-gotten wealth.

c) Resign your cabinet post and launch your 2012 presidential campaign early satisfied with the funds that you have already looted while in cabinet.

d) Sponsor a censure motion against the United States of America for interfering with the affairs of a sovereign state like Kenya and announce that you have no interest in visiting the US anyway.

e) Strongly deny any insinuations that you might be the visa ban minister and threaten to sue those who persist in bringing forward your name.

f) Make a long emotional tantrum-speech on the floor of parliament invoking your wife and children (Kimunya-style) and hope that Kenyans will sympathize with you and start demonstrating on the streets on Nairobi against the evil United States. You can of course help push the process forward a little by giving some idlers a small cash incentive and some placards.

g) Prove to the public beyond any doubt that there is no visa ban against you by traveling to the United States ASAP.


2. If you were Raila Odinga, William Ole Ntimama or John Michuki you would do one of the following when the next elections are called;

a) Announce your resignation from active politics and pave the way for a new generation of leaders.

b) Start a campaign in your constituency to declare yourself MP for life in honour of the services that you have contributed to the people of Kenya having been in active politics longer that President Obama has been alive.

c) Cheat Kenyans that you have never really had an opportunity to make a difference and if they want to see the real you (the way Kenyans saw the real Kibaki) they should elect you president.

d) Tell Kenyans that you deserve to rule the country because of your advanced age. Age goes with wisdom, so we are told. Which means that since independence Kenya has been led by extremely wise leaders.

e) Promise Kenyans that if elected president you will constitute a youthful cabinet. Of course the definition of “youthful” is rather loose. Only in Kenya can you be a youth aged 70 years old.

  2. We all know who it is:

    1. Corruption allegations for a very long time - From Youth for KANU (1992)to sale of Ngong forest to maize scandal;
    2. Ethnic cleansing - From groundwork in 1992 and 1997 ethnic clashes to the perfected skills of 2007 PEV with a pre-conceived defence "spontaneous protests." Either way where ODM won or lost, there were going to be ethnic cleansing.
    3. Visa ban not based on current maize/oil scandal- US does not want to appear to base its actions on a single unverified allegation/conduct. It is based on an analysis of previous investigations, allegations and conduct, all leading to the same conclusions-someone is dirty, very dirty.

    Stand up William Samoei Ruto. And stop telling us that you have not received any communications. They are waiting for you to apply for visa. To humilate you and cause you sleepless nights. And the fact that you are already doing so by issuing statements indicates it is not a passing cloud

  3. Purported 8 Sep 2007 Kenyan Orange Democratic Movement political strategy for Raila Odinga's presidential election. The document is very likely a full or partial fabrication. However it is increasingly politically influential due to an uncanny prescience over the January 2008 Kenyan ethnic tensions and vote rigging. While the language employed in those sections is the least credible given the authors and the nature of the document, whoever wrote them had a keen understanding of the likely movements in the Kenyan election. If those sections were fabricated, as is most likely, by PNU (Kibaki / government) loyalists then this provides a very interesting perspective into their thinking and strategy.

    The document definitely predates the Dec 28 2007 election and has been flowing around Kenya as email forwards since mid December 2007. Public proof of its pre-election creation can be seen at scribd.com ( http://www.scribd.com/doc/961835/ODM-Poll-Strategy ) where an identical version was uploaded on the 19th of December 2007.

    The document, or at least a very similar version of it is also named as the source of an Abunu Wasi story on Dec 17, 2007 ( http://www.abunuwasi.com/ ). Abunu Wasi did not reveal the document, citing "fairness" to the Orange Democratic Movement.
    Other influential fully or partially fabricated documents against the Orange Democratic Movement and Odinga have been a feature of the Kenyan election (see MOU between Raila Odinga and Muslims). The New York Sun scandalously used the later document as the basis for its Jan 10, 2007 editorial ( http://www.nysun.com/article/69273 ), despite Wikileaks warning.

    But its usually more like Ruto will prepare for 2012 and dare anyone to challenge him over this and Raila, Ole Ntimama and Michuki will run for MP again and maybe even presidency for Raila.

  5. I think I can guess US cannot go to issues of maize scandal.

    It is very hard to incriminate Ruto on this.

    Further I know that most western politicians who were "smart" and "fast" were involved in maize scandal.

    What happened is that all of a sudden someone realized, i think the first to realize was Jirongo, that the same maize sold in Kenya can be sold to Southern Sudan and 3 times the price in Kenya since demand there was so much.

    So it became a scramble. The "smart" guys started buying, taking maize in their stores and sell to Southern Sudan.

    It was only Kengen shares during the early months after floatation of shares that could outsmart this investments. Those who were fast enough made millions within a short time. I'm telling you any Kenyan who loves making money at the mercy of other people, in the name of business, could get himself involved in it. I can claim, from business attitude of many people, if they were given that chance they could have gone ahead to do what was done. I'm sure even the Central, Eastern, North Eastern and Coast politicians, businessmen and common mwananchi could do the same if given the chance - imagine making over 150% profit by just buying and selling maize!

    Then this is where the problem started.

    Here there was a chance to make money but already to get bulk maize from common market and even individuals, out of the scramble for commodity, was becoming a problem, yet there was bulk of it in NCBD.

    I don't know the policy of NCBD, but all i know is that as an individual you can go there and buy maize from them, simple. So all of a sudden there was drastic and overwhelming demand for maize from NCBD. The queue was long, some were buying for their own use, but majority wanted to buy in order to sell to Sudan. Most knew that if they delay they will not be able to get the maize since it was running out of stock.

    This is where those in the know how used their connection to Bwana Mweheshimiwa et al. Most politicians in western province used their powers and money to get the maize faster than others.

    I don't know if Bwana Mweheshimiwa got involved and how much money he made, all I know is that some if not most people used his name to get the maize.

    Coupled with already small reserve caused by PEV, there was no enough maize to take to Southern Sudan. That's how we ran out of it.

    It's like someone who sells all his properties, even the ones he needs most, only to realize later that he cannot stay without it.

    Jirongo made, I think over Kshs 300 million.

    Lets face the sombre fact and accept the sad reality that as far as change in leadership is concerned we are stuck in reverse gear; not permanently stuck but at least for the next EIGHT or so years the current elite tribal political community will remain put they're not going any and this is our burden for all of us to bear as Kenyans

    One day we will be free of tribal politics as a nation but until then any multiple choice exams on Ruto and aging politicians will always have more than one answer that SEEMS correct

  14. KENYANS, WE ARE OUR OWN WORST ENEMIES, PARTICULARLY KENYAN AFRICANS

    We Kenyan africans are our own biggest enemies. Our Values, norms and attitudes are severely warped; our priorities totally upside down.

    We are so filled with Self hatred that even if an excellent candidate such as Barack Obama ran for president over here in Kenya, a large section of us will resort to a lot of silliness, stupidity and a lot of nonsensical behavior. This is what you will hear from Kenyans (particularly the so called highly educated, the so called religious/saved hypocrites - the Kalonzo "Msaliti" Musyoka types - and the well traveled types, whom you would expect to know better because of the exposure of experiencing life outside this country...) This is what you will hear:

    Jaruo.... Kihii.... and all sorts of foolish propaganda fuelled by hatred...

  15. There is no other Kenyan politician both past and present who ignite extreme emotions like Raila Odinga. On one hand we have those who love him with unreasonable love and those who hate him on equal measure. I think we should set our emotions aside and look objectively into this character. Can he be trusted with multi-ethnic nation like Kenya and reconcile Kenya as one nation? Can his socialist ideologies hurt Kenya's economy?, how is his development record?, what new ideas if any is he bringing in? At the age of 63??

  16. Forget the multiple choice exams.

    I have heard contrasting takes on the alleged stolen election but for a moment lets look at it this way.

    Prior to the 2007 elections, the country had been polarized beyond doubt. The reasons for the polarization was simple and it was noted in the Waki report. Kibaki had failed to offer leadership and when he expelled the LPD members from the cabinet, he had rubbed many tribes the wrong way. After doing this Kibaki never followed through to ensure that tribal groupings were quashed. So the expelled LPD members Odinga and others became so critical of his government. I personally think it would have been wise to keep these guys in the government.

    But I digressed, so when the expelled members joined hands with opposition members Ruto, Uhuru, Balala, etc the country was slowly been divided along tribal linings. Did Kibaki not see this, or he had no clue. To even allow the referendum to go on was a very costly mistake. This polarized the country even more.

    Honestly, with a polarized country and a president who was hands-off, I think we were courting disaster. And we have an even deadlier mix when we have no laws that guide against hate speech and ethnic relations. Also, Kibaki had treated, nay mistreated the Kalenjins by dismissing them from positions Moi had appointed them, to add insult to injury he let Kikuyus take over all plum positions in government (this in total disregard to the fact that in 2002, he was voted by majority non-Kikuyus). There was a deadly mix in the country only a savvy president would have dealt with.

    My point was this. I have had tales of Kalenjins taking oaths to expel the Kikuyus from RV. If this is true and of course the NSIS must have had word of it, also ODM had gone all over Kenya preaching majombo. Has is downed on anyone that Kibaki may have been forced to steal this election just so that some things could have been averted.

    I don't think the guy is as naive as most people perceive him. And honestly, I have never had any favor with him and I have also lost faith in all politicians back at home.

    I am ready for the grilling!

  19. It's very simple, in Kenya we do not honor and reward hard work, we honor and reward thuggery and thieving. How the hell in the world are we every going to move forward as a nation when our society has a deep rooted and ingrained culture where stealing is how we value our people, politicians etc. the implications of all this is that our nation and our children will become complete beggars to the world.

    If we as a society and people of this nation don't see beyond tribal lines, we are doomed for failure faster than a bullet hitting a target.

    At the rate we are fostering hatred, and spending money as a nation as if there is no tomorrow, we are headed for a bankrupt kenya, and this will mean we will be on the verge of a civil war!!!

    The train is rapidly approaching the destination, so people regardless of the tribe, clan or religion, as the people of this nation, we better wake up and demand a lasting change, otherwise we completely doomed!!!

    This ain't no dream, its a sure reality - watch as it happens!!!

  25. Kumekucha, let's face it - this post was stealthily planted to float the blasphemous idea of RAO passing the baton.

    I don't think so - he still has a lot of political capital and is simply gaining more experience to lead the country if and when that comes to fruition. That's not to say that he does not have a checkered past - but what can you expect when you have had decades of marginalization and at least two Luo presidential material heavyweights assassinated in their prime.

    Raila is simply following destiny. It remains to be seen if he can be unseated legitimately. Of course the best course of action would be a complete break from the past but that would be too idealistic.

    For those who find this blog depressing, keep in mind Kenya is undergoing its baptismal by fire and if the next election goes relatively well, you will be well on your way to the promised land.

    Please don't choma me for offering sincere opinions - especially if your bread butter is politics or law. You may be more articulate and much better informed but sometimes the view from the edge can be just as prescient.

  29. Chris:

    You are right inincluding Raila's name in the questions because those trying to repackage Raila should forget it. When he had a golden chance, he blew it. During last presidential campaigns, in an effort to spark inter-ethnic violence, Raila repeatedly called the whole of the Kikuyu community "Kabila Adui Yetu." Then he topped it all by promising the Meru community "tears" if he won the presidency. When he uttered those statements he kissed good-bye the presidency of the Republic of Kenya. He should now plan for an honorable retirement. But as gift to future generations he should write a political manual on "How not to start out as a nationalist and end up as an ethnic-hating demagogue."

  33. Raila's incompetent leadership is exemplified by his destructive and selfish tendency to put his personal interests above that of the Nation.
    When he was advised that Kivuitu and ECK should remain in office until a competent body was in place to replace them, he completely refused to cooperate and insisted that Kivuitu must go, and to date, there isn't even an interim body because the blundering idiot objected to the Cecil Miller led one at the last minute through his attack dogs in bunge like Milly Adhiambo.
    What would have happened if, God forbid, if Kibaki had perished in the recent helicopter mishap, assuming that the Bondo Bumpkin and his fellow ODM hobos would have accepted for Kalonzo to act as President for 90 days as per the const'n? Who would supervise the ensuing election that must take place?

    What is this sick obsession with Kibaki wealth. In as much as we want to paint Kibaki as a thief, lets be fair to the man. He is rich, yes, but did he steal or did he happen to be at the right place, at the right time with the right qualifications?

    Some history. I know some of you will disagree but you dont graduate from London School of Economics top in your class if you dont know shit. Kibaki was highly qualified and with departing colonialists much as he would have resisted making money there was no way he could just let the opportunities go. I am yet to come across someone who went to LSE in life and in literature and is poor.

    We can be naive like Githongo and be puzzled when the president buys a gold rolex but the man has been around for 50 plus years and if he could only afford a rolex when he is the president then so be it.

    He may have stolen elections (which I dont beleieve anyway) but he made his money. If you had a masters degree in 1958 and the likes of Jaramogi Odinga were begging you to serve your country you would be rich too. Show me anyone with those qualification in 1960's who is not rich.

  47. It is obvious to anyone with a discerning mind what the retard of a bumpkin is up to. There is a pattern.

    First he calls in foreigners and their agent (Kofi Annan) to come solve a mess he had by all means created. Note that many were harmed in unthinkable ways and a large number lost their lives. Secondly, he stupidly and strongly supports the formation of a coalition government. Thirdly, anything and everything he (prime minister of a coalition govt) dips his grubby fingers into has not borne fruit, despite all the self-aggrandizement. Fourth, he has failed to discipline his own party of change (sic), indeed there is rapidly emerging an alternative source of power within ODM! Just as he has failed to control his bureaucrats. Moreover, the stuttering bumpkin has failed to deliver his pre-election promises. Worse still, he and his spawn are allegedly smeared in the dust and grime of the corruption he had promised to root out. Painful. Poor chap.

    So what pathway out for the wretched bumpkin? Well, slide right back to what you know best, which alas, I sometimes suspect is genetic. We have seen this nut constantly criticize a government of which he is a part. We have seen him whining about a so-called lack of power. We have seen him drone on about the failure of our institutions, yet does absolutely nothing to try solve the problem. Indeed he further undermines by suggesting that the ONLY way out is to invite foreign institutions to perform the functions that ours should be massaged and/or shocked into performing. And now, he runs around calling for majimbo. What desperation.

    My view is that this bondo bumpkin is tremendously conscious of his failures yet severely constrained by a rather low IQ, inadequate experience and imagination, an extreme thirst for power and a proclivity for a vulgar fashion of populism. He subsequently has no concrete strategy of redressing his malfunction (or the ills he promised he’d wipe out) nor the concentration or focus to do so.

    This is dangerous.
    The best he’s left with is to DESTROY.

    His raison d’etre now is to undermine and discredit any genuine efforts to set the socio-political and economic system back on track. This he does as he gathers grist for his 2012 presidential campaign and for which he will dump the coalition mid 2011 if not as early as end next year. His unwavering acolyte recently said the coalition government is a means to an end! There is little incentive to use the half loaf or nyama ya mkia wisely and to any keen observer the battle lines have been drawn.

    My fellow countrymen, be afraid. Be veeery afraid of the stuttering bumpkin who will pull out all the stops to get the top job. There is a pattern of (violent, unproductive)behavior.
