Mzee Kibaki did one thing that old time wise godfathers and smart generals know how to do well, which is, they let others - their henchmen, underlings, clean-up-crew, lieutenants et al - do the dirty job while the whole incident, operation, heist, hit, hostile takeover, sanctioned elimination is remote controlled from a distance and behind the scenes.<br /><br />There is very little or nothing at all in terms of real evidence related to the political blood bath of 2007/08 that will be able to be linked or allowed to stick on Kibaki's name, including some of his very-very close long time associates.<br /><br />Kibaki has always been and still is four hundred percent old school <i>damu</i> in light of the regional political struggles among traditionalists in Nyeri, Kiambu, Muranga, Kirinyaga and others in the diaspora - Rift Valley.<br /><br />Therefore, there is no doubt in many people's - insiders' - minds that Kibaki must have very well known what was bound to go down in the nation's history given the potential aftermath of the 2007 general election. <br /><br />And what a better scapegoat that made itself available in the person of Uhuru Kenyatta - as gullible and power hungry as he was - and ended up being anointed as the main man of the hour and the perfect sacrificial hand at the timely service of concerned elders of 'several houses' from the central region of the country. <br /><br />Many of whom had zero knowledge of how Gen Mwai Kibaki operates while in the eye of the storm or under concentrated heavy fire and then ends up wiggling himself from sustaining any kind of political and personal damage when the dust has settled on all fronts.<br /><br />Mwai Kibaki has always been a very smooth political and business operator in the name of self-preservation since the early 1960s, and his survivalist record speaks for itself during the Kenyatta and Moi adminstrations as well as the years he was left out in the cold.<br /><br />All things taken into account, Uhuru Kenyatta will end up taking the fall on behalf of Mwai Kibaki and the elders of several houses from their region. <br /><br /><i>Never ever clean another person's dirty or blood stained hand in any way, shape or form, however find ways to distance yourself from it and let the owner cut it off in order to safe him/herself when times demand it.</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-79997156700428890522013-10-24T08:30:05.864-07:002013-10-24T08:30:05.864-07:00Chris,
