The Return of The Notorious Artur Brothers?

The East African Standard carries an exclusive story today claiming that one of the Artur brothers, Artur Margaryan called the paper lat Thursday and disclosed that he was working on a book that exposes senior respected cabinet Ministers in the Kibaki regime taking bribes from the brothers to “help us stay around and do business”.

He claims that he captured all of them on tape as they came and went away with “gifts”.

Margayan warns; "It will put the ministers to utter shame, even if they don’t resign."

The Artur brother who wore chains and walked around with a proud swagger told the newspaper that his book also includes “ a lot of other things that went on, which Kenyans do not know anything about.”

I am extremely skeptical about the so-called book. Firstly because none of the Artur brothers are the expose-book-writing-type. Can you imagine the Artur's as a John-Githongo-dossier-publishing-type. I just can't. Not after what they did to us. My second reason for being skeptical, is because of this announcement to the Standard, which to me looks like the thing one would do just before the extortion begins. The whole idea being to prove that you have some dirt which you have no intention of publishing and just want to be paid off for your silence.

I could be wrong and will only be proved so when and if the so-called book is published.

Nairobi Parliamentary Seats And Voting Patterns

In recent times an interesting and engrossing debate has developed over which direction the Nairobi voters will go. More so after I revealed my recent findings on the ground that Nairobians may not vote on tribal basis after all.

On reader recently boldly announced that Nairobi will more or less easily go to ODM. Yet another reader disagreed and said that Narc Kenya will carry the day easily in Nairobi.

So what is the true situation?

Although it is still very early to tell, there are a few key factors that cannot be ignored. Highest on the list is the fact that Nairobians have felt the negative effects of the Kibaki administration the most. This includes clashes in slum areas like the populous Mathare and Kibera where the vast majority of Nairobi residents live. These incidences have left scores of mostly innocent people dead.

Not to mention the deep resentment and feelings of betrayal that the influential and huge community of city hawkers feel towards the Kibaki administration. These feelings, according to my investigations run so deep that they will not be swayed by tribal affiliations or emotions.

The really exciting thing here is that there is plenty of evidence to show that Nairobi voting patterns have a huge effect on voting trends in the rest of the country. This is probably exactly what is needed for a non-tribal non-politician with a genuine and serious agenda to declare their candidature and steal these elections and snatch the country from the iron-like grip of the political class and ancestors of home guards and collaborators. I make no secret in constantly reminding our readers that this blog is sponsoring such a candidate for the highest office in the land.

The ingenious strategy of one Kenneth Njindo Matiba in the memorable 1992, first multi-party elections comes to mind. Because of his medical condition, which handlers cleverly did not want revealed to the public, Matiba did not have any campaign rallies. Instead he concentrated on a quiet campaign amongst hawkers and matatu crews within Nairobi. The strategy worked so well that it is widely believed that Matiba had the highest number of votes in that election.

Whatever you think about hawkers and touts, this is one group in Nairobi that no political party can dare ignore.
