One wants him dead another wishes Jakom will put him behind bars.<BR/>Well, guess what, the gods will not grant any of those wishes. Can any of the bloggers go to the Hague to testify against Ruto? Can they prove even with a reasonable doubt that Ruto commanded the violence that followed the broad daylight robbery at KICC? Let's wait and see what happens.

While you are focussing on Uhuru, it appears panic has swept through Raila's advisers and that explains why he was freelancing in Davos persuading Koffi Anan to extend the local tribunal establishment deadline.<BR/><BR/>Ruto has checkmated Raila. Immediately the Raila-sympathetic MPs blocked the tribunal bill in parliament, Ruto, once again, reminded Raila that in some instances he is on tape uttering in 2007 some words that imply his desire for Kikuyus to be ethnic-cleansed from RV. At some point during January 2008 violence Raila ordered money to be paid so that "Kikuyus can be taught a lesson." It appears Ruto has Raila by the balls because of the evidence he claims to have. This is supported by Ruto's public swagger and snippets by those around him. The problem is that Raila's camp doesn't know how much admissible evidence Ruto possesses. Lately, the famous Raila's brain trustees have advised their boss to do whatever it takes not to let the matter be tried in a venue where Raila has no potential control. Their belief is that in Kenya they can use PM's office and local networks to achieve two objectives: (1) protect the image of the PM, and (2)cause Ruto sufficient political damage even if he escapes prison without being seen as if they are destroying a favorite son/warrior of RV. So, under no circumstance will Raila allow the process to move to Hague.<BR/><BR/>Contrary to what many political prognosticators are saying, Raila's camp doesn't, for now, care a hoot as to what happens to Uhuru. They still believe that he is still of "sentimental" value. They also believe that in an eventual one-on-one contest between Raila and Kalonzo, Raila can outflank Kalonzo one more time. They consider Ruto a wild card and a "must-deal-with" obstacle between them and State House. <BR/><BR/>They consider him a wild card because they are not sure whether he will be in their corner during the presidential contest. They think he is too ambitious and uncontrollable. Ruto's side believes Raila's side is out to get him. They point at numerous occassions Raila has tried to establish alternative centres of political influnce in RV, Ruto's back yard. Matters have not been helped by Raila's supporters who, occasionally when drunk, carelessly let it be known that "Jakum will one day have Ruto behind bars." Both sides have reason to worry.<BR/><BR/>Raila's brain trustees believe Ruto is a "must-deal-with" obstacle because they have worked with him and know his abilities. He is a ruthless and tireless political tactician - to the point of being a conviction politician. Unlike Kalonzo, he has the money and he is ready to use it to achieve his goals. Lately, what keeps them awake at night is the knowledge that Ruto is talking to some Mt. Kenya power brokers and they don't know what is being talked about. They are grappling in the darkness and they hate it. They are so sue that Ruto will tip the balance in the next preidential elections that panic has set in.<BR/><BR/>As a result, among Raila's handlers, it has come down to this: If Ruto is unwilling to tip the balance in their favor then he must be put out of commission politically. Hence, the urgency to do whatever it takes to have a local tribunal where the police can be corrupted and witnesses either bought or made to disappear in an effort to de-commission Ruto without leaving political fingerprints.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-78175905003602150602009-02-01T23:58:00.000-08:002009-02-01T23:58:00.000-08:00Heh, heh, heh.

We evaluated the progress made in the implementation process of both the Waki and Kriegler reports," Raila said.<BR/><BR/>The PM said Annan promised to consult President Kibaki on the matter following the halting of legislation of the Waki Bill in Parliament last week.<BR/><BR/>According to Raila, there was no cause for alarm over the failure to pass the law adding that other players in the process can understand that MPs and the Government have shown willingness to pass it.<BR/><BR/>"The Waki Report is not cast in stone. No one should panic that the deadline was not met. Everything is on course," Raila said.<BR/><BR/>He described the failure to enact the law last week as a technical hitch detected by MPs and expressed optimism that legislators would pass the Bill this week.<BR/><BR/>Legal experts have raised fears that the chairman of Eminent Persons is now at liberty to forward a list of persons suspected to bear greatest responsibility for post-election violence to the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court at The Hague.<BR/><BR/>Blocking Bill<BR/><BR/>Some ODM MPs, furious at the failure by Parliament to block the Bill, voted in protest for the reinstatement of Kipipri MP Amos Kimunya to the Cabinet.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, Agriculture Minister William Ruto has termed as inconsequential the move by Parliament to block the Government from enacting a statute for a local Special Tribunal and its entrenchment in the Constitution.<BR/><BR/>The Minister said Justice Phillip Waki had only made recommendations, which could either be adopted or disregarded.<BR/><BR/>Speaking at Kaguru Farmers’ Training Centre in South Imenti constituency, Ruto said it was irresponsible for some leaders to imply that the trial of those implicated could only be at The Hague.<BR/><BR/>He at the same time claimed that some politicians in the Coalition Government had resorted to threats on their colleagues over The Hague issue.<BR/><BR/>—Stories by Isaac Ongiri, Ramadhan Rajaab and Patrick MuriungiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-2911049812527042732009-02-01T17:14:00.000-08:002009-02-01T17:14:00.000-08:00like they say a picture says 1000 words , and the ...like they say a picture says 1000 words , and the picture you posted resonates with the title of the post.i share your opinion that uk will not take this lying low he is after all the prince charles of kenya.so the questions is who will win this battle and who will lose the war ?, is it us the wanjikus or the "like my dad would have said" ohuru's?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-71000166681814502402009-02-01T15:09:00.000-08:002009-02-01T15:09:00.000-08:00Hey Daniel WaweruYou forgot to mention the thousan...Hey Daniel Waweru<BR/><BR/>You forgot to mention the thousands killed by mungiki in centrak province while they were trying to run back to their western and nyanza homes.... let me remind you on mostg of those coffee and tea plantations owned by the kikuyu elite or flower farms many of the workers were Luo's and Luyhia's and to date they are still missing in action?<BR/><BR/>there relatives are still searching... not fogetten central province was closed off to police investigations after the clashes..<BR/>but mungiki's youths told the horror stories to some independent journalists on how they went on murder spree's in central province..<BR/><BR/>Can Vikii tell us where these peoples bodies were dumped?? their relatives need closure- I wish they had left them to live they would have been IDP's just like all the others that had to run for their life's- why kill them just because they made a mistake years ago for working on farms in central province???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-5113975200649861642009-02-01T15:00:00.000-08:002009-02-01T15:00:00.000-08:00CHRIS AND TAABU??

He will be running against Raila odinga, Prof. Saitoti, William ruto, Martha and a few other fellows. I am not sure how many of these have facilitated educational airlifts. I am not sure why that would be expected of Kalonzo alone.<BR/><BR/>If the next President will be the man who has dug boreholes in Mwingi North constituency, then he may probably trail his opponents. But that should not be the only benchmark for eligibility for election. We can also demand that the next President be the man who has erected the highest number of toilets (or even pit latrines) in Kibera constituency or the man who has bought the most maasai kitenges in Kajiado North.<BR/><BR/>All I am saying is that if the next President wil be judged on how he has done on the constituency front,then Kalonzo's record need be considered alongside those he is running against. Unless you are telling me you are satisfied with Raila Odinga's "development record" (assuming one exists) or Martha's, Bifwoli's, Saitoti's or Ruto's (pooh), then I do not see what your argument is.<BR/><BR/>The very fact that you think Martha Karua should not be elected President because "she was defending Kibaki" alone makes my response to your comment a waste of time.Vikiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12856714528491258384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-75953864413144357792009-02-01T08:54:00.000-08:002009-02-01T08:54:00.000-08:00"Chriso"we have finally come to the point where th..."Chriso"<BR/>we have finally come to the point where the rubber meets the road so to speak-Kenya is long overdue for "birth pangs" as you call them; we are tired of so called "liberations" ad nauseum which turn out to be nothing but more slavery, more bondage and more tribal hoodwinking<BR/><BR/>Its unfortunate that in Kenya a certain group of people have for long considered themselves above the law-this is the group we have constitutionally vested with the responsibility to lead our country and yet they wrongly mistake that "when the president/MP/cabinet minister/politician does something then its legal" even if in reality its wrong!! the truth is they are the one's who've been wrong all along-since 1963 in my opinion <BR/><BR/>now its come back to bite them in the backside big time-let it bite them good i say!

But a few glaring errors!<BR/><BR/>Expressing a different opinion from yours is certainly not being more cleverer than you.....so toa hiyo.<BR/><BR/>Another thing, stop rubbishing the steadman polls and yet you were a strong adherent of these polls especially in the run-up to the 2007 polls. If you were honest with us, you would publish scientific data, perhaps better than what steadman published then we could judge the accuracy of the Kumekucha political yardstick! <BR/><BR/>Its now almost possible to predict your posts. Infact, the current Kumekucha reminds of the Kumekucha of 2005-6, yes Chris, the one who gave Raila zero chance of ever winning an election in this country. The one who dismissed all the candidates then promising to produce a candidate of its own, only to let us down when things got too tight! Remember those days Chris?<BR/><BR/>According to you, ALL current politicians are thieves of public funds and none of them is qualified to lead this country. Time will tell.<BR/><BR/>Fortunately for this country, Kumekucha is not a ballot box and therefore what is propagated here hardly makes an impact on the ground. If this blog trully believes that it can spring a surprise candidate, then let it respect the fact that we are in a multi-party democracy. For that reason, let Chris and Sam Okello and anybody else who think they have what it takes to attract the Kenyan voter register their own political party (KUMEKUCHA DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT) and jump onto the field like the rest of us. The we shall see how far their young and clean candidate will go.<BR/><BR/>Nevertheless, the PNU coalition (that includes ODM-K) succession line-up is fast taking shape and it appears Central and Eastern Province will be making a two prong attack come the next election. The province is going for the presidency while also gunning for the Vice Presidency.<BR/><BR/>My own forecast tells me that the best PNU coalition will do this time is taking over the Leadership of Official Opposition in parliament. Sadly, none of the current contenders from that province, save for Martha Karua, shows any potential for performing well at this job. Uhuru himself, once a holder of this job, was especially pathetic in his time for his was completely overwhelmed by the then NARC ruling coalition. On the other hand, Saitoti and Kalonzo - as has been seen in all portfolios they have held in cabinet since their KANU days - are complete failures too.<BR/><BR/>In contrast, the ODM wing boasts several personalities who can go for the presidency and the prime ministers seat. The contenders are not just members of the pentagon but also those outside it. Like I keep saying, it is a matter of time before you will see our candidate sworn-in, in broad daylight at Uhuru Park.
