Your ODM dream of a 4 tier const'n designed to isolate the GEMA communities will never see the light of day, take that to the bank and cash it.<br />As for Phil's claims that Raila is unstoppable in 2012, he is just daydreaming. Kenyan politics is highly tribalised, and tribe trumps everything when election time comes. What political capital has Raila gained from his mau 'green' crusade since he went there? Nothing! In fact, people have even forgotten he was there, and even worse, the Kalenjin, a key 2007 election ODM constituency and who gave 300000 more votes to Raila than Luos (1.6m), have for all intents and purposes jumped ship and are just waiting for the const'n review matter to conclude before trooping to UDM, a party they intend to form an alliance with Uhuru's GEMA and Kalonzo's Akamba. Forget the childish naivète and wishful thinking of the Luo cabal that surrounds Raila that they can somehow woo Ruto and the Kalenjin back to ODM. Culturally, once a Kalenjin man makes up his mind, there is no going back and Raila is already being called 'Arap Chutbei' or the one who can't deliver. In a mere 2 years he has fallen from 'Arap Mibei' to 'Arap Chutbei', picture that. Without Kalenjin support in ODM, and who comprise 12% of the registered voters, Raila is cooked. In an alliance with GEMA (32%) and Akamba (11%) plus half of the Bukusus, Somalis, Boranas, Kisiis, Maasais and Coastals, HOW IS SUCH AN ALLIANCE BEATABLE by ODM-Raila?! Even if Raila were to peel away a generous 20% of the GEMA, Kalenjin and Akamba votes, he still wouldn't make the 50%+1 threshhold to be declared outright winner. For Raila to peel away 20% from GEMA is impossible as of today, given that his recent political trip to Murang'a was dead on arrival. Even his new sidekicks like Peter Kenneth were nowhere to be seen and disappeared at the last minute. Raila's only hope is to woo back the Kalenjin, starting with the coming trip to Ruto's constituency. Lets see how that goes.Kimi Raikkonenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15746369867832618011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-12924970825016542532010-03-26T09:52:37.411-07:002010-03-26T09:52:37.411-07:00ODM mafia are trying to mutilate and rape the draf...ODM mafia are trying to mutilate and rape the draft constitution by dividing Kenya into 25 tribal enclaves for easier ethnic cleansing come 2012.

After the end of apartheid in 1994, the number of township shack dwellers in SA have increased by 50% in the first 10 years. <br /><br />Surely, if we go by your analysis, having enacted a wonderful constitution as they come and elected blacks as leaders, the poor blacks problems would have been solved. <br /><br />We know you will come up with those tired ideas of oh, African leaders are corrupt blah blah. <br /><br />We shall reject these "explanations" as carefully constructed diversions from essential structural reforms on:<br /><br />(a) money and banking,<br />(b) land,<br />(c) Irrational conspicous and wasteful consumption, a relic of the European aristocratic culture which is nothing, but, a reflection of ignorance of Entropy Law.<br />(d) unequal trade which is facilitated by control of:<br /><br />(a) monopolization of African natural resources,<br />(b) monopolisation of wealth creation process (industrial technology).<br /><br />(c) and (d) are facilitated by blatant denial of monetary sovereignty to African nations. And, a nation without monetary sovereignty cannot claim to be free. <br /><br />Thus, instead of "them" fooling you with affirmative actions, useless "elections," thru Transparency International, CNN, BBC, confront "them" on the above issues.Mwarang'ethehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17751879277752081774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-26674437173049953332010-03-25T23:49:00.239-07:002010-03-25T23:49:00.239-07:00CAN LESOTHIANS SURVIVE IN A REAL AND FULLY DEVOLV...CAN LESOTHIANS SURVIVE IN A REAL AND FULLY DEVOLVED KENYA?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-59326050089487875432010-03-25T14:58:52.726-07:002010-03-25T14:58:52.726-07:0011:05 AM

It will enable women finally have a say in the issues that affect women most e.g reproductive health, poor education standards among girls, early marriage, abortion, etc,issues that men have completely ignored or handled to the detriment of women. It will also set a good example to young girls most of whom suffer from low self esteem due to a chauvinistic upbringing. Many african men look down the labour women go through to give life to children and sustain this life into adulthood. That is largely part of the problem our society faces.<br /><br />The role of a woman giving life to another human being and nurturing the life into adulthood is hallowed all over the world by many cultures,whether christian or not (except in africa mostly).Christianity, especially catholism greatly revers and adores a woman by the name Mary,placing her far above many male saints.Many catholic men adore her daily. It is also at the advent of christianity that women started going to school and were therefore able to liberate themselves from a very oppresive and chauvinistic African culture and therefore live dignified lives. Christianity is not to blame for the poor conditions of a Kenyan woman.

But you are betting on the wrong horse. Ali Hassan Joho is a known drug trafficker. Ask him where his money comes from. Him and his brother and cousins are banned from several countries including Dubai. His brother is a wanted man in India. Joho has close ties with the "Othaya NARC activitist" who brought us the Arturs to continue bringing HEROIN into Kenya and destroying the Kenyan youth. Raila forget about Joho because his game is over. Gone are the times when women were given 50 shillings to sing praises of the guy who is killing their sons by bringing them drugs. Drug dealers are worse than animals. They kill promising youth so that they can drive BMW limousines around Mombasa and then stand up to talk about drugs and all that sh*t.<br /><br />The Kenya poöice know who brings drugs. They read like who is who from Moi's immediate family (his son who is married to the girl who was in the Lady Gay advert) to top policians in ODM and PNU.

Most african christians are not aware christianity was only "civilised" by the Enlightenment in europe and it came to us when it had been "softened".

That's why there were goddeses, in addition to gods. The woman's ability to bring forth life was regarded as a mystery and was revered. It was the fear of this power of the woman that made christianity and Islam decree in their holy books that the woman was nothing. In the bible she is responsible for original sin(read paul's letters to timothy and ephesians). jesus is supposed to have set a good example by not being defiled by woman through sex. The true christian church, the roman catholic church, led by men priests follows this example set by the "saviour" himself. In fact the whole idea that sex is somehow a sin is a major attack on women. In kenya women are the most faithful adherents of christianity. Women in europe only achieved equality after realizing this irony of following a religion that says you are inferior. A society dominated by religion the way kenya is today is of course in a dark age. We have to have our own Enlightenment. Then women will achieve equality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-75759611457688372492010-03-25T04:49:44.796-07:002010-03-25T04:49:44.796-07:00Phil,

And all loopholes sealed for Raila to win the next general elections without any fiddling with votes. But there are other priorities that have suddenly taken centre stage. Like dealing with William Ruto and teaching him the political lesson of his life. As to whether they will be able to achieve this, we just have to wait and see. I think events will overtake things and Ruto will soon be on his way to Europe for an indefinite stay, although the Kibaki faction has assured him it will not happen.</b></i><br /><br />Chris, I think its better you avoid commenting on issues you do not understand, instead of displaying ignorance.<br /><br />The transition clause is actually a provision of the National Accord and Reconciliation Act in 2008, which was passed by parliament itself before being swiftly accented to by Kibaki within parliament! So what has changed????<br /><br />Unlike PNU which has never had a Parliamentary group or an NEC meeting since the harmonised draft was released, the ODM has had several NEC and PG meetings and all decisions pertaining to the constitution have not been 'Raila's nod' as you call them, but NEC decisions! This is democracy.<br /><br />Not forgetting, ODM-K, NARC-K, DP or even PDM have all never formally met to endorse decisions you see being propagated by some of their leaders and MPs. <br /><br />The ODM is not mesmerized by the impending decision of the ICC Pre-trial judges to authorise investigation into the PEV. Whether or not William Ruto or Uhuru Kenyatta is named in the Waki/Ocampos envelope; and whether or not William Ruto or Uhuru Kenyatta is indicted by the ICC, I want to put it to you that the ODM party will not stop or pause in its quest to make this country better for all. The PDM/KKK are side shows in so far as ODM is concerned. We have more important priorities like implementing our manifesto and AGENDA4.<br /><br />Perhaps what you should question is why some individuals continue earn salaries and benefits as members of parliament and they no longer serve the interests of the political parties or the voters that took them to parliament. Can you really say Kalonzo is serving the interests of ODM-K or Kambas? Or is Ruto really serving the interests of ODM or people of Rift Valley? What about Balala?<br /><br />Chris, do not publish unverified information here. Otherwise you risk sounding more and more like non-starters and irrelevant MPs wannabes Jimmy Kibaki and Tony Gacoka.

This is a constitutional moment and we must seize it wholeheartedly.<br /><br />Chris, you must lead a campaign amongst you vote-less diaspora readers to come and register as voters. We need their participation now that we have allowed them dual citizenship.<br /><br />The constitution was never about Raila. It was about the future of the entire country.<br /><br />A few months ago, we were amazed when none other than Balala, then attending a fundraiser for Mau evictees, bellowed that those who were at Panafric Hotel were the future and that if you were not seated at that table with Zakayo Cheruiyot, there was not chance in hell you could be considered part of the future in Kenya. Can you believe that? Zakayo Cheruiyot of all living souls!<br /><br />Balala, along with Isaac & William Ruto, openly conspired with PNU - KKK wing to defeat the perfect CoE hybrid draft which was an acceptable middle ground constitution for our fragile national unity. That initial harmonized draft had eight (yes eight) very well structured regions and 3-tier devolution. <br /><br />But because fighting Raila took precedence over creating a constitution for posterity, the partisan PSC, then firmly controlled by the KKK alliance, decided to give us a pure presidential system as well as a 2-tier devolution.<br /><br />When they went back to their regions, Rutos (Rift Valley) and Balala (Coast) received the severest backlash from their own people who were unhappy at the betrayal.<br /><br />Without any shame, now we see the same Rutos and Balala pleading with parliament to amend the PSC draft that they presented as perfect just two months ago. Not only did the PSC Naivasha retreat make a mockery of the work of the unbiased CoE, it betrayed the dreams of millions of Kenyans and as well as wasted hundreds of millions in tax payer money. Do these akina Ruto think the rest of Kenyans are idiots?<br /><br />They are not even sleeping for the last one week, holding night meetings, dishing out wads of cash to MPs everywhere! Even the recent Kabete KIA retreat has ended with no solution to the stalemate. Listeners of Baraka FM and KASS FM continue to lament on the betrayal by these ODM rebels who sacrificed the perfect constitution under the guise of fighting the Prime Minister.<br /><br />The big problem is that the law requires 65% of parliament to amend this draft. Can the KKK alliance raise these numbers - and raise them before Thursday next week? Highly unlikely because most MPs have already unmasked the treachery that is the Ruto/uhuru alliance. It is all about bargaining power. <br /><br />Why do they want to create counties for every other tribe and clan? What is the rationale? Are these counties that akina Machage and Kapondi demanding economically and politically viable?<br /><br />I repeat, the constitution is not being created for Raila Odinga. Yes he is a front runner to succeed Kibaki. YES, we are all looking forward to his inauguration which was rudely and violently postponed in 2007. But this constitution has got nothing to do with all that!!!! <br /><br />Let Ruto (Isaac and William) and Balala carry their own crosses. Let them not come back to ODM to plead for a hearing when they were in the frontline sabotaging the ODM after filling their stomachs with stolen SGR maize.<br /><br />Whichever way you look at it, only an assassination will stop Raila Odinga taking over the reigns of this country. Let this constitution pass as it is. <br /><br />Alternatively, let us see you raise 145 members to amend what you want!Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02006931396497105956noreply@blogger.com
