The biggest polit...Biggest Headache in Kenya today<br /><br />The biggest political problem in Kenya is William Ruto:<br /><br />He dethroned Moi in RV. He will same to Raila unless the latter come into his senses, not only in RV, but Ruto is likeable/identifies with the youth.<br /><br />He is not from the "inheriting dynasties- Kenyatta,Moi,Kifaki- hence acceptable to the majority apart from the high echelon of Kikuyus who sell the idea that "he is the chief architect of 2207 mayheim".It is not selling-speak to manabas and there goes your answer!<br /><br />However, the Kikuyu youth rank Ruto as second to Raila. If Ruto sell the idea that Raila is fighting him,then Ruto will prevail.<br />The youth, beyond those from the Kikuyu tribe are looking for a "strong" leader. Ruto is seen as the "one".<br />I think that Ruto should stay put and continue his line of "toughness", but start speaking to all tribes, not only kales.<br />Raila must be careful in the way he handles Ruto.<br /><br />While Raila is "old",Ruto is still a "youth with an unfortunate back ground". He is politically lethal as time will prove. It is the time for a social revolution and Ruto easily passes as a member of the masses (read the poor).Obamism is already in Kenya- "youthfulness and a poor back ground"<br /><br />I wish Raila can see through the Mt. kenya Mafia.They are conmen out to maintain the status quo. But they have miscalculated-Raila is not a "jaluo" as they think. He is wealthy by his own right. A right the mafia think they control. He is likely to outdo them, but my only concern is that he NEEDS Ruto.<br /><br />Why would Kifaki allow Muthaura back in office?-besides health issues, he is past Retirement age!<br /><br />Lets watch the game. <br /><br />But for certain, Ruto will continue being a headache.<br /><br />I like itAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-83251927985710280122009-08-23T05:21:13.292-07:002009-08-23T05:21:13.292-07:00Another missed opportunity to discuss the real iss...Another missed opportunity to discuss the real issues. <br /><br />As we have noted before, there is nothing wrong with Ruto, Saitoti etc. It may be true that, someone like Saitoti was given 100 acres of land for around 187, 000 KES.<br /><br />However, to focus on him, is to miss the point. The problem, it seems to us, is those who claim to study sociology, philosophy, economics and political science. Instead of seeking the cause, they have all specialised in description of social facts. How shallow.<br /><br />Establishment of a domestic empire requires it to be founded upon DOMINION. Dominion is a question of property, which may be real or personal. This encompasses land, money or other goods.<br /><br />The question before us is this. Is the modern state designed to enhance and aid the construction of domestic empire? The answer is in the affirmative. <br /><br />Today, if you are a Kibera resident, and you happen to have an income of 25 KES from your labour (EARNED INCOME), you are expected to pay tax. However, if you dodge that tax so as to survive, the state will come very hard on you as a criminal.<br /><br />However, when you are given land worthy millions of Kenya shillings for speculation purposes so as to pocket UNEARNED INCOME, the state has nothing to say about that. <br /><br />It seems therefore right to argue that, the modern state is constructed in a way that, it disables those who labour (those who earn their income), while protecting and aiding those who grab common property, whose value is generated by all (those who pocket unearned income).<br /><br />If that is the way we have constituted states in the 21st Century, how can we turn around and accuse Ruto or Saitoti for creating domestic empires through land as the modern state requires? <br /><br />Simply, we are yet to learn how to constitute a functioning state. Thus, our concern should be the study of these flaws so as to devise means of removing such inherent contradictions of a modern state. <br /><br />However, instead of focusing on such fundamental philosophical flaws of modern state, we spend eternity yelling at each other about Luos, Kalenjins, Kikuyu etc. <br /><br />No wonder Bob Marley expressed the view that, modern education is meant to brainwash so as to make us fools.Mwarang'ethehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17751879277752081774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-71384043295235835722009-08-23T00:59:50.410-07:002009-08-23T00:59:50.410-07:00Terrible things are happening to Colombians who wo...Terrible things are happening to Colombians who work at the Coca Cola plant there.

Kenya. No moderation takes place. Infact, a few days ago sam okello did one on Equity bank, a bank that he said was taking kenyans money and giving it to Kikuyus (check it here http://kumekucha.blogspot.com/2009/08/is-it-time-to-drop-equity-bank.html). So when you make moderation partial, only when it hurts Kalenjins, then i suggest you make this a Kalenjin aka Kass blog and save us the pretext of impartiality.<br />infact one reader questioned chris on the house rules when the equity bank post came up. as usual moderation was not necessary then.<br /><br />So i also suggest you edit this;<br />Any post/s breaking the (Kalenjin) house rules of COMMON DECENCY will be promptly deleted, i.e. NO anti kalenjin, racist, sexist, homophobic, sexually explicit, abusive, swearing, out of topic, impersonation and spam AMONG OTHERS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-71802321486394072682009-08-22T14:04:01.753-07:002009-08-22T14:04:01.753-07:00Administrator?

May be you will be burnt into cinders come 2012 presidential elections.<br /><br />Please learn from history for the simple reason that by sensibly learning and respecting it, it might save your tribe whose extinction is imminent.<br /><br />Of course with your thinking the rest of Kenyans cannot be blamed if they, the 80%, converge on you and crush you and your arrogant impunity once for all.<br /><br />It will soon most likely be 4:1 in the event hat you arrogantly attack the 80% majority.

(CBC)A Toronto woman who was stranded in Kenya over false claims she was an impostor said she believes the colour of her skin played a role in her ordeal.<br /><br />In an exclusive interview with the CBC's Diana Swain, Suaad Hagi Mohamud was asked whether she thought things would have been different if she were white.<br /><br />"I wouldn’t be stopped at the Kenyan airport if I'm a white," Mohamud said.<br /><br />"The Canadian High Commission wouldn’t be treating me the way they treat me. If I'm a white person, I wouldn't be there in one day. I wouldn't have missed the flight."<br /><br />Mohamud, 31, who was visiting her mother in Kenya, had been stranded in the country since May after Kenyan authorities said she didn't look like the picture in her passport photo.<br /><br />Mohamud, who filed a $2.5 million lawsuit against the federal government on Friday, said the reaction by officials to her situation was "really frustrating" because "deep inside I thought we all the same."<br /><br />She said her ordeal began when a KLM worker stopped her and looked at her documents and said that she did not look like her photos.<br /><br />Mohamud said she was asked to pay a bribe to "make the problem go away."<br /><br />"They make you miserable, tired, give up, for some money there."<br /><br />But she said she never considered paying a bribe, saying she’s "always a straight person" and that she had done nothing wrong.<br /><br />Canadian consular officials called her an impostor, voided her passport and urged Kenyan officials to prosecute her, even after Mohamud handed over numerous pieces of identification, offered fingerprints and finally demanded that her DNA be tested.<br /><br />She was charged on May 28 with identity fraud and spent eight days in jail.<br /><br />Mohamud said prison was horrible and that she was put in with gang members, killers and thieves.<br /><br />"It's really horrible and a bad place to be. It's not something I can describe — the food, the sickness I get over there."<br /><br />She said she tried everything to prove who she was and asked officials to call her 12-year-old son in Toronto.<br /><br />"Why don’t you just call him and say, 'Where is your mom? Where is she? Where [did] she go? Are you with someone?' In that case, they will know if they really wanted to find out."<br /><br />DNA tests proved Mohamud was who she said she was and the charges were dropped. She returned to Toronto on Saturday.<br /><br />She said she blames the Canadian government, saying they "let me down, big time.<br /><br />"No matter where we are, where we go, we're all citizens and I believe that we don't have a different level, we're all Canadian citizens," she said.<br /><br />"I'm just asking the government to get up and back up their people wherever they are."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
