I have a big PM’s motorcade, but do I say?

I have said it here before that I love to study the way decisions are made in the corridors of power. Now this constant study has led me to stumble on an astounding discovery. Take a deep breadth now…

The patterns in decision-making in the Raila court is looking more and more like what has happened in the past in the Kibaki court of indecision. Raila Odinga’s decision-making skills have been tested in the high-pressure office of Prime Minister and leader of the most popular political party in the country and they have been found wanting.
The clearest evidence of this is the recent drama and more so Raila Odinga’s decision yesterday to back down after the president rescinded his decision to “suspend” two cabinet minsiters. The first decision to create the crisis in the first place by “suspending” the two ministers, William Ruto and Sam Ongeri was ill-advised and showed that the party king-pins completely mis-read the mood of the Kenyan people and greatly underestimated the intelligence of the Kenyan press. The second decision to back down with a lame threat that errant ODM ministers will be dismissed was even worse. It has made the Prime Minister look so weak and the kind of man who loves to “play little games” at a time when the Kenyan people have had enough and are in no mood for political games. So the Prime Minister cannot even fire ministers from his own ODM side of the cabinet without consulting the president? And yet the president can clearly fire or “re-appoint” ministers from his own PNU wing of government without consulting the PM as he proved on Sunday? What a shame!! Then the two are definitely NOT equal partners are they? Folks lets quit the b***, Raila Odinga is nothing more than a senior prefect and the most he can do is announce that the headmaster is coming (and sometimes the headmaster doesn’t even turn up, remember the Mau tree-planting ceremony?). This is grossly unfair to Mr Odinga because when a man shares responsibility for what is happening in the country, he should surely share the authority to make decisions. As it is I have now absolved Raila from everything that is going wrong in the current government. The buck stops at Mwai Kibaki’s desk!!

=======================================
Living collective national lie
When will we stop cheating ourselves and be trutful for once? Here we are all pretending we do not know the problem with the coalition. The accord was and is about POWER sharing. The fact that ODM was conned into being co-opted as a paper tiger is no reason to give reality leave. PNU's interpretaton of NARA accord is that ODM has no power while (thanks to its volubility) ODM shares all blame for inactivity. Meanwhile all Kenyans play along with the scoundrels demanding good governance from ODM while feigning ignorance and outrage when things don't fall in place. Well, I guess it is no understatement to brand all kenyans shameless hypocrites. And you know what, we deserve all the theft and RAPE.

======================================

But back to the subject of this post.

The reason why the latest decision by Odinga was a terrible mistake is because there are certain decisions once made, you don’t abort. You just can’t. It’s like a jumbo jet taxing down the runway for takeoff. There is point it reaches where take off cannot be aborted whatever happens (I think pilots call it the point of no return). Raila reached that point and then promptly aborted take-off. The result is tragic consequences for him and his passengers in the Jumbo jet. In this particular case tragic political consequences for him and ODM—the party that was.

You see the first thing about effective decision-making at the top is that you have be consistent and have clear objectives from the onset. That is exactly what Daniel “no university degree” arap Moi used to do. His politics aside, as a manager Moi was an effective manager. You see politics is fluid and if one is not careful you can quickly degenerate to a situation of running around in circles and getting absolutely nowhere.

When Raila took the decision to sign the national accord that formed the grand coalition government, what were his objectives? Have those objectives changed now? How so?

In my view Mr Odinga had a chance to make a quality decision that would have guaranteed his place as the fourth undisputed president of Kenya. Imagine what would have happened had he signed the agreement but nominated somebody from ODM to take his place and rule with Kibaki? Say Mudavadi or even better, Ruto? Remember what Jacob Zuma of South Africa did after successfully getting rid of Thambo Mbeki from the ANC? Zuma would have taken over right away as president on behalf of ANC. But he did not. He resisted the temptation.

Raila would have remained MP and a major decision-maker within ODM. Okay he would not have had a motorcade and all those people running after him. But I guarantee you he would have been a cult figure in the country by now.

Instead Raila Odinga’s initial decision was based on the fact that it is a curse of our Luo brothers that they always like to feel important. It has been said in Kenya for years that give a Luo man a big office and all the trappings of management-power and you can pay him peanuts. He won’t mind, you have a loyal manager for life. The poor chap will probably live off telling people in the bar about his “big office.”

Raila made the big mistake of being predictable to Kibaki and his chauvinistic Kikuyu court. A friend of mine and former supporter of Raila, put it very well when he told me; “The minute I saw that Raila motorcade I knew that Kibaki had outfoxed him.”

That first decision at the time of the signing of the national accord has led Raila to where he is now. Between a rock and a hard place. Amongst Raila’s objectives at the time was to concede a junior role in a coalition government for the sake of peace in the country while preparing himself for 2012. I am told that part of the deal was that he was assured PNU support in 2012. So in effect Raila had no business taking the decision he did on Valentine’s day. But since he did, he had absolutely no reason back-pedaling so soon. In effect he is now looking more and more like Mwai Kibaki in his first term. A decision-maker just putting out fires and running round in circles but with no clear direction.

Interestingly those surrounding the Prime Minister are displaying very similar characteristics. Take Miguna Miguna for instance. Is he a Canadian national or a Kenyan? Since Kenya does not allow dual citizenship (and he is still using his Canadian passport), this former Kenyan is technically a Canadian. Does he have a work permit? Or perhaps he wants to enjoy the benefits of his adopted home country, Canada and at the same time take away the very limited job opportunities his brothers have in Kenya. How fair is that? How patriotic is that?
Miguna Miguna (with cap), the Canadian national is pictured with "The Captain" and other Kenyans.

Take another example; Salim Lone. The on-and-off-and-on-again spin doctor of the Prime Minister. The last we heard was that Mr Lone had resigned. Now I see him back at the PM’s side. It seems that he too cannot make up his mind whether to leave the PM or to stay. Or is it that the man enjoys being seen rubbing shoulders with the high and mighty (cracking a joke for Uhuru Kenyatta as seen in a recent TV clip, and all) that he cannot bear NOT to be at the PM’s side no matter what!!!
Salim "on-and-off-and-on-again-spin doc of the PM" Lone

The good book says that a double-minded man gets nothing.

In any event we are the sum total of our decisions and the sums are totaling rather fast for one Raila Odinga, the right honoroable Prime Minister of the republic of Kenya.

Did you see...
Salim Lone denied this exclusive Kumekucha story about the time he fled Kenya.

    DEMOCRATIC UNION just did not cut it, had to be changed to PEOPLES PATRIOTIC UNION which naturally begs the question which patriots? and which people - surely not THE MAU MAU whose children and grandchildren are amongst the LANDLESS , unemployed and disposseed .

    For a moment imagine what Dedan Kimathi would say as he see’s professor SAM ONGERI raising his hand in favour of PEOPLES PATRIOTIC UNION as opposed to PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC UNION while his great GRAND CHILDREN are still struggling to get a decent EDUCATION and what they are owed, not just by birth right but through their grandfathers REAL PATRIOTIC struggles.

  6. "Instead Raila Odinga’s initial decision was based on the fact that it is a curse of our Luo brothers that they always like to feel important."

    Ouch! Eti nini Chris? Kwenda huko! Kwani the ODM Captain has eaten your goat? Can't you see Man like Tinga is God sent to deliver Kenyans from the oppression and slavery in our Misri? Just look millions of Kenyans braved the heat in Kibera to cheer the liberator yesterday!

    Shame on those who are saying ODM is finished and that the Kalenjin MPs have walked out on ODM. ODM is still a giant and a well oiled political machine that it has always been. Kalenjin MPs are still intact in ODM and loyal to their Captain. Just show me one who has resigned from the party to seek a by-election?

    The grass-root support has never been more great for Kenya's biggest political machine. Look at the opinion polls, Raila is even leading Uhuru in Central and come rain or shine, ODM is here to stay. Just wait at the end of this month and see the Captain make a triumphant entry in Kigumo to inspect various devt projects.

    Those who are calling soft spoken and mild mannered Miguna a Canadian national should hang their heads down in shame. They should proof how, where and when he renounced his Kenyan citizenship.

    Actually Miguna is more Kenyan than Mt Kenya itself. He could me making millions of dollars back in Canada as an Attorney but has opted to be in poverty stricken Kenya, fighting in trenches for the sake of freedom and democracy. He's here to help midwife a new Kenya from the corrupt and bogus PNU.

  7. ...greatly underestimated the 'intelligence of the Kenyan press'...

    That's a new one for a change. I had no clue that there was some semblance of intelligence let alone common sense among the Kenyan press that has evolved into the tabloidization of news in Kenya?

    The general track record of the Kenyan press has spoken volumes since 2002, and proof of their current lack of intelligence can be found in the pudding of their front pages, what they love to report and avoid by all means Kenyan style (out-of-paralyzing-fear).

    All things considered, the Kenyan press, in general, doesn't have the gutts nor the b.a.lls nor the real intelligence to call a spade a spade.

    BTW, poor nation's, call them "developing nations" if you will, can't handle democrcacy nor can they cultivate independent media houses that are beyond the stifling control of the village politicians and their counterparts, the pseudo elite.

    IHTRY, Raila, Kibaki and their henchmen/women will never be a solution to Kenya's endemic problems. The current political system needs to be overhauled or surgically removed for the better.

  9. Raila is losing it....but having said that, am impressed by the way he's always in the news. Call it loudership, rather than leadership, and when all is said and done, he's the one who grabs the headlines. As hellon puts it, in politics, no news is bad news. So there, 2012 will b campained on a platform of 'yes raila' or 'no raila'. No other issue.

  10. Every African head of state has his day and a choice of what type of legacy they want to leave for future generations.

    They do have many choices to embrace, such as, end their careers
    - like africa's elder stateman, Nelson Mandela.
    - die in obscurity like Mobutu Sese Seko (psycho).
    - get kicked out twice like Milton Obote.
    - bleed their their countries to death like Robert Mugabe.
    - die in office like Laurent Kabila.
    - die in action like abacha.
    - waste twenty-four years of a nation like arap Moi.
    - force their "subjects" to carry them out of "a high powered presidential meeting" in a potato sack like Mamadou Tandja.

    Kibaki and Raila - have their days coming soon and very soon.

    May the two of them MAKE A WISE CHOICE before political history delivers its verdict.

  14. Raila lost it a long time ago,he creates a 'non crisis',runs away and on coming back promptly goes to reassure himself he's still popular among the only people who in their grinding poverty can never see any of the bumbling thugs' many shortcomings.Kibaki is the only politician who time and again is able to effortlessly put a stop to Raila,s political manouveres and still some people keep harping on that Moi was the better politician.Well,the facts tell otherwise.

  16. Chris,

    I agreed with your sentiments until you attacked the Nilotes and became tribalistic.

    I thought the election of 44th President of the United States and Raila as the Prime Minister of Kenya by non-Nilotes ended this big stereotype paint brush.

    Am I also hearing you are saying that: -Luhyas are not leaders but shamba boys, housewives and watchmen? That Kikuyus are murderes, thieves and prostitutes? Kambas are only good in bed? That coast people are dumb and opnly know how to drink 'kahawa thungu?' That Kelenjins are not leaders but cattle rustlers?

    If your your point was that Raila blundered, and ended there, that would have been a fair criticism.

    He did not do it because he is a Luo.

  25. Chris, its time you dropped the stereotypes.
    That said, Raila should resign as a matter of principle if he has any. If he really abhores corruption and Kibaki has his hands tied, then his only option will be to step down.

    However, we all know Raila is just playing at the public gallery and his past and present corrupt deals doesnt make him better that Ruto. His son fidel has been mentioned adversely in maize and triton scandals...add that to Malindi squatters land and molasses plant and you have yourself a corruption czar himself.

    Phil can continue to defend his corrupt hero as from his base in Kibera.

  29. Cassandra, in Greek mythology, was the daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy, who was granted by the God Apollo the gift of prophecy.

    She prophesied and warned the Trojans of the Trojan Horse, the death of Agamemnon and the destruction of Troy. When she warned the Trojans, they simply cast her aside as “mad” and did not heed her warnings.

    As we "discuss" dead issues, those of us who are "mad" are worried about the real and living issues.

    Sample this:

    -Significatntly, the Kenya Revenue Authority has been unable to meet its own revenue targets in the last few years.

    - Gross public debt rose to Sh1,115 billion, or 43.8 per cent of GDP, by the end of December, from 1,038 billion at the end of June, last year. External debt comprises 47.2 per cent of that and the remainder is domestic debt.

    - The internal debt stood at Sh588.97 billion by end of December, while external was Sh525.50 billion.

    - Meanwhile, the CBK injected a total of Sh12.75 billion into the banking system last week using reverse repurchase agreement securities against maturities worth Sh18.52 billion.

    Source: http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/business/InsidePage.php?id=2000003976&cid=14&story=Spending up as Treasury targets higher deficit

    One can see a number of real issues:

    - There are few Kenyans, less than 5% who are damn "rich" to loan us KES 589 billion. They must be very hardworking indeed.

    - the continued inability of the govt. to raise enough tax will continue. This will mean more debts at an accelerating pace with our "rich" guys lending us even more.

    - As tax rises to pay these accelerating debts to the damn "rich", most businesses and especially small businesses will collapse, leading to more unemployment. Mark u, it is the poor will pay heavily for all these debts to the damn "rich."

    - As the unemployment will continue to rise, the government in the name of welfare state will continue to expand and as it expands and demands more taxes, more private businesses will go under.

    - As the govt. expands, we can expect more corruption benefitting the damn "rich."

    - Where is the REAL WEALTH to BACK the KES 12 billion the CBK has just pumped to these vampires calling themselves banks?

    It seems that, Kenyans cannot see see this coming debt peonage.

    How can they when they are "very busy" discussing dead issues like mad men?

  32. Mwarangethe, I thought you know something called micro-economics and macro economic. You also know that there was a global slowdown of economy, that rattled the whole world, including hose said to have solid foundations.

    All countries, even those with the best economic brains, including US, UK, Germany are still reeling from the adverse effects of the economic crunch. Kenya is not an exception.

    And why not, when ODM called thugs to mass demonstrations, wiping out years of gains in a two-month murderous spree that hit Nairobi and Rift Valley hard? Can you please be realistic and pro-active in your analysis, blames and accusations.

    KRA does not walk into the streets to generate revenue. They do not sell products to generate the much-needed cash. KRA, like a dependant plant, requires the business community, traders and others to make it live and grow.

    Local trade has been impeded by a treacherous environment that makes any kind of investment fearful. Think Mwarangethe. It is not TROJANS et al. It is the environment

    But why not, if the PM carries 50 people for a two-day trip to Austria, only for the president to carry with him 100 people two days later to the same event. You wonder why, but it happens in Kenya. Half the trips made abroad by the so called members of the executive are not worth the paper they are drafted on. Money guzzlers and thus the struggle by the Customs office and income tax department.

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    ahahhaa, solid foundation? Which one are you talking about? For your information, today's global economy HAS NO FOUNDATION.

    It is a giant PONZI scheme which is unravelling infront of our eyes. Thank God.

    You need to read beyond propaganda from CNN, BBC and other people who call themselves presidents like Obama.

    Let us take you to the ROOT CAUSE of the global meltdown. When Keynes came from Bretton Woods Conference of 1945, he declared in The Times this:

    "Some of your correspondents press me to admit

    (a) that forms pf commercial policy, permissible under the Bretton Woods currency proposals, may be nevertheless be VERY FOOLISH;

    (b) that [ these] may be so destructive of international trade that, if they were adopted, Bretton Woods will have rather a waste of time. Both of these contentions are, in my opion correct."

    Without going into much details, you can see the rotten foundations of the post war system were detected, but, USA refused to listen.

    We find this in the views of the US delegate, Harry Hawkins, Chief of the Division of Commercial Treaties and Agreement when he said:

    "Given the largely expanded productive capacity of the United States during the war, and the fact at some stage in the immediate post - war period we are likely to find ourselves in another acute depression...."

    Ah! for USA to avoid depression, they forced humanity to have the current ponzi scheme. And, u dare tell us that they have solid foundation? Where?

    The point we are making is this. It is time for Africans to think for themselves and stop following Western nonsense.

    And, we can give an example of that original thinking which the BBC, CNN, education and religion establishment dare do not let humanity know as they keep talking rubbish to enslave ignorant people.

    The Nazis came to power in Germany in 1933, at a time when its economy was in total collapse, with ruinous war-reparation obligations and zero prospects for foreign investment or credit.

    Yet through an INDEPENDENT monetary policy of sovereign credit and a full-employment public-works program, the Third Reich was able to turn a bankrupt Germany, stripped of overseas colonies it could exploit, into the strongest economy in Europe within four years, even before armament spending began

    The MAIN POINT is this:

    Germany financed its entire government and war operation from 1935 to 1945 without gold and WITHOUT DEBT.

    And having done this, it took the whole Capitalist and Communist world to destroy the German power over Europe and bring Europe back under the control of the people in charge of today's ponzi scheme.

    Such history of money does not even appear in the textbooks of public (government) schools today.

    NB: Do not start telling us about Hitler's genocide. We are interested in the Germany financial system that did not use debt, and yet, took the whole world in a few years.

    If Germany was rebuilt without debts in the 1930's, can u tell us why today we are all in debts? And, in debts to who?

    Think beyond school and BBC propaganda.

    You hate Luos sana sana mpaka God looks down at you and cries. You hate the jengs so much mpaka if you have children, may they rebel thoroughly and if it is a guy, gets married to a luo girl and if a girl, gets married to a Luo boy.

    You hate Luos so much that may your ngods or the kamba version of igweeee denounce you with an amominable announcement that you sleep chanting munjaluo munjaluo.

  39. Chris, aka luo hater,

    We really pray to our Almighty God, the creator of the Universe to give us those who want debate, a reasonable non-partisan clear minded person full of integrity and of sound mind, to come and initiate practical debates.

    This person has to have higher thinking levels with a lot of wisdom.

    May the desires of our hearts be granted. May the good Lord bring back sanity into this blog.

  43. Chris you hit the nail on the head yet kabisa. I am an avid follower of your blog and never miss a post, but although i never make comments, for this particular post, i cannot resist the temptation to comment. Raila missed the perfect opportunity to change his destiny and that of Kenya when his greed took the better of him and went straight to bed with Kibaki without reading the fine print of that so called Power Sharing Accord. Zuma's example is a classic and i bet Zuma with all his philandering and spouse expansion policy will go down in the annuls of history a greater leader than Kibaki and Raila combined. When all is said and done, and however much we hate one Emilio with all his fence sitting postures, that man is truly an astute and shrewd politician in his own right and the faster Raila begins to realize this, the better for him. As for the people surrounding Raila, methinks Raila needs to sort out where he wants to go and what he wants to achieve first, before engaging the people to surround him. My guess is that Raila wants to go to Embakasi, but he's opting to jump onto a Ngong destined matatu! He'll get to Embakasi eventually but.......

    PNU has smart-ass heads however much we might disagree with this fact and it is these effective smart chaps that are scoring serious points for Kibaki. At least Kibaki's hands off ears off mouth off style of politics is getting him places that the 'but do i say i have a big motorcade' style of politics.......
