Raila, Kibaki, Ngilu and Martha Karua are traveling in a train.
The train suddenly goes thru a tunnel and it gets completely dark. Suddenly there is a kissing sound and then a slap! The train comes out of the tunnel. Ngilu and Raila are sitting there looking perplexed. Kibaki is bent over holding his face, which is red from an apparent slap.
All of them remain diplomatic and nobody says anything.
Ngilu is thinking: "These men are all crazy after Martha Karua. Kibaki must have tried to kiss her in the tunnel. Very proper that she slapped him."
Martha Karua is thinking: "kibaki must have moved to kiss me,and kissed Ngilu instead and got slapped."
Kibaki is thinking: "Damn it, Raila must have tried to kiss Martha Karua, she thought it was me and slapped me."
Raila is thinking: "If this train goes through another tunnel, I could make another kissing sound and slap Kibaki again."

Will Mary Wambui Seek Political Office?
archive
We all know who Mary Wambui is don't we?
Officially there is no link between her and the President. But nobody takes that official word seriously. Not with the huge contingent of GSU paramilitary officers who camp at her Lavington home and the security detail that follows her everywhere she goes.
Kumekucha recognizes her as our beloved President's second wife.
Emerging intelligence indicates that contrary to what most Kenyans think, all is not well at the President's campaign team. There are too many inexperienced analysts who think that just because the economy has grown by over 6% and since the President belongs to the house of Mumbi and they are so many in number that they used to give Moi nightmares whenever elections came up, he will automatically win re-election. Naturally these guys don't understand the first thing about human nature let alone politics (I recommend that they start by reading William's Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and then Machiavelli's, The Prince. You can read it online for free HERE).
Fortunately for the president, some of his aides know better and what is upsetting them is the fact that their sums don't add up to the total they are looking for. Yet they did just a few months ago. But then that is the fluid nature of politics anywhere in the world that caused Winston Churchill to say that a week can be a very long time in politics.
It is no secret that the Mungiki troubles and pressure on Kenyans at the grass roots level from the influential but usually ignored Kenyans residing overseas (many of whom religiously read this blog and sometimes leave comments when time allows) has taken its' toll on public opinion on the ground. And thanks to the excellent intelligence service at the beck and call of the president, word has already reached the inner circle that all is not well.
Some action has already been taken. You will notice that the President is being seen much more in public and his spin doctors will be trying very hard to fight the lame duck image that has come to the forefront as the Mungiki violence has exploded countrywide.
But also activities of a key political activis of the president Mary Wambui, have increased tremendously in the last few weeks. In fact looking at the itinerary of the first Lady No 2, one would easily be convinced that the general elections are being held next month and not in December. For example she was in Malindi yesterday, probably to somehow downplay the impact of the ODM rally that was going on too far away on the North Coast.
Mary Wambui is no doubt a seasoned campaigner (she did more good work for President Kibaki than she will ever be recognized for in 2002) and her failure with the infamous referendum of November 2005 can be attributed to poor strategy and infighting in the government side.
Now there are whispers that if push comes to shove, she may seek political office. The truth is that she can win any parliamentary seat she may fancy in most of Central province.
On a lighter note we already know that First Lady Number 1 is standing for a parliamentary seat somewhere (we don't know where yet). Now imagine a situation where the 3 Kibakis make it to parliament but the senior-most Kibaki loses the presidency? I would advice that his Excellency keeps his parliamentary seat and takes his place in the back benches because his chance for revenge will come before you can say "ODM Kenya." With attendance for important debates in parliament sometimes falling to a mere 7, the 3 Kibakis can easily and quietly frustrate and defeat many government bills in the house. A bloc of 3 assured votes can be very powerful if the habits of the 9th parliament persist to the 10th (which will happen for sure if we vote the same guys back).
Why Is Hon Michuki bullying his youthful challenger?
