There is a joke about a man who was once drowning. As he was being swept downstream, he kept shouting, "God, please save my life! Spare me, God!"<BR/><BR/>Suddenly, he saw a twig hanging from the riverbank. He grasped at it and got a bit of respite. <BR/><BR/>Reflecting about his good fortune, amid gasps of breath, he thought of himself as very clever. "Whauh!" he gasped aloud, "That was close! How so clever I am! This stupid river almost went with me. Eh, it is good to be clever. I am now safe, happy."<BR/><BR/>Reflecting further, he went on to say: "And sometimes when you are almost drowning like I was, you hear foolish people claim they are the ones who saved you. You even hear someone called ‘God’ saying He has helped you. Which God? I saved myself and some self-styled saviour wants the credit?"<BR/><BR/>And alas, the twig gave in to his weight, and was soon rolling downstream again. In a panic, he said, "No! God, wait! That was only a joke! God, can’t you take a joke?"<BR/><BR/>Whereupon he heard the voice of God saying, "Boy, of course you know I can take a joke. As a matter of fact, why don’t you come right over here where I am? We can do a few jokes."<BR/><BR/>If you should perchance come across the VP, would you kindly share this little joke with him. For, he does not seem to know the difference between being safe and enjoying temporary respite. <BR/><BR/>The Vice-President has reinvented himself in his old Kanu style. He does not see things clearly, once again. Since breaking up from the original ODM family, he is increasingly confounding. Then he was a man about whom respected elder Kenyans like former ambassador and veteran journalist Mude Dae Mude could shower praise, as Mude says in his new book, Fight for the Orange: In Search of the Kenya I want. <BR/><BR/>Part of our problem is we do not have consistent leaders who see things objectively all the time. Kalonzo cast the picture of a visionary between October 2002 and August 2007. Then he reverted to his Kanu outlook.<BR/><BR/>That is the outlook of a man who said those fighting for political pluralism in the early 1990s were dreamers. <BR/><BR/>He described the late Jaramogi Oginga Odinga a "bad mannered individual," because Jaramogi was expanding our democratic space. He repeated the "bad manners" tag when Jaramogi took the then Vice-President George Saitoti to court over the Goldenberg affair. <BR/><BR/>During his tenure as Deputy Speaker, the VP was living fear for the media. Kanu was enjoying the apogee of power. People like the VP were the pillars of that unfortunate regime. On the flimsiest of grounds, media houses were excluded from parliamentary reporting. <BR/><BR/>As Education minister, he got the police to clobber teachers senseless in the streets of Nairobi. Their sin was asking for the implementation of their pay package.<BR/><BR/>Today, the VP is telling Annan to keep off Kenya. <BR/><BR/>The reason is that the good Annan, this week, expressed disappointment with the pace of institutional reforms since the signing of the national accord, especially what is referred to as Agenda Four. He said Kenya is sitting on the edge of a precipice. The only thing that can save this country is institutional reforms ahead of the next General Election.<BR/><BR/>If we should continue dragging our feet while embarrassing international Good Samaritans, then it might not be such an unwise thing for you, my dear reader, to begin getting your passport and visas ready before 2012. <BR/><BR/>Annan is only telling us to stop cutting the tree branch we are sitting on. But our wise men can only tell him to get his nose out of this. It is this kind of short-sighted and arrogant leadership, which has got us where we are. <BR/><BR/>The bigger tragedy is the same honourable noise-makers were the choir masters of the orchestra that brought us here. <BR/><BR/>You will often hear them condemn "24 years of Kanu misrule" forgetting they were Kanu ‘damu’. The nation would do well to beware of such leaders and keep pushing for institutional reforms. Help is welcome from anywhere, and especially from Annan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-55304735477110590762009-04-03T12:00:00.000-07:002009-04-03T12:00:00.000-07:00Ahmed Issack Hassan IS A WIFE BATTERER!!!!!!!!!!!!...Ahmed Issack Hassan IS A WIFE BATTERER!!!!!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-83065223883596949142009-04-03T11:55:00.000-07:002009-04-03T11:55:00.000-07:00As regards the one billion shilling office for the...As regards the one billion shilling office for the PM, let it be known that Raila did not request nor initiate the intended renovations.<BR/><BR/>The inception of that idea is part of a multi-pronged attempt to shed bad light on the person of the PM. It’s tantamount to putting him between a rock and a hard place.<BR/><BR/>Raila cannot publicly show disdain for the proposal because his doing so ultimately diminishes the importance of his office. Further, the ploy crafted by Muthaura and his consorts was mainly meant to steal public funds. This is how it works in government. It is the white elephant scheme of 2009. All you have to study is the line up of contractors queuing to do the renovations. They are precisely all aligned to Kibaki and PNU. The one billion shillings will be paid to Kibaki’s friends to paint walls and re-carpet the lobby area amongst other shoddy and unnecessary ‘improvement’ projects.<BR/><BR/>The reason no work has began is because Raila has flatly refused the project in a very private way. He knows the plan is to blame him for the waste of money and insensitivity to wanainchi walloping in these dire economic times.<BR/><BR/>-From a concerned and very privy civil servant.Joma Tilonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-15806353107727443792009-04-03T10:06:00.000-07:002009-04-03T10:06:00.000-07:00I am disgusted that muhoho has been reappointed.

Having a "clean" (wo)man in office will not do much except to tarnish their own image and even jeopadize their careers and lead to disbarrment. <BR/><BR/>Again, the Kenyan media is doing a diservice to wananchi by not asking the pretinent questions. Namely what is the road map towards ensuring transparency in our electoral system. Suffice it to say this character will romp into office with a big salary but no teeth.

I thought all he did was to back a candidate who, once elected, stood for that basic creed that all men are created equal and that all should carry their own crosses. Chiluba was himself a beneficiary of an inclusive electoral process sanctioned by kenneth Kaunda, but he chose to pursue politics devoid of any principle and fraught with vendetta-mindedness.

Koki was the best qualified in terms of electioneering. <BR/><BR/>As I said before, KOKI stands above all the other candidates in terms of experience in electoral matters and I think it is only Maina Kiai who can match her when it comes to moral standing.<BR/><BR/>When all is said done, young AHMED ISAAK HASSAN is without experience for such a high profile public appointment and I doubt if he can withstand and resist pressure exerted by rich-with-stolen-money election fraudsters like Kalonzo, Kilonzo, Kenyatta, Kiraitu and Saitoti.<BR/><BR/>I see this nomination as having been influenced solely because PNU mandarins are remote controlling one PSC Chairman ABDIKADIR H. MOHAMED a well known puppet of AHMEDNASIR M.ABDULAHI who is mentor, tutor, and chairperson to both Abdikadir and Isaak. <BR/><BR/>As you can imagine, ever since attending the Kibaki 1million per plate dinner at Safari Park, Lawyer and university lecturer Ahmednasir has be openly pro-PNU and anti-ODM and his law firm Ahmednasir, Abdikadir & Company Advocates has been awarded lucrative government contracts forcing the duo to expand the firm. Clearly, the duo who were a struggling law firm just two years ago, are now one of the leading and biggest law firms in this country - thanks to being the unofficial legal advisors to PNU.<BR/><BR/>I am eagerly awaiting parliamentary debate on this nomination next week and for now I am taking this appointment with a pinch of salt. I am not sure if parliament will endorse this appointment given the already poisoned politics that has denied KOKI MULI what could have been an automatic choice appointment.<BR/><BR/>Wacha tungoje.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02006931396497105956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-56741685580928283232009-04-02T23:43:00.000-07:002009-04-02T23:43:00.000-07:00Kwani students have NO responsibilities?
