It is quite clear that we are headed for a major political contest and the way the cards will fall is that we will end up with the Kikuyu and some of their close allies (GEMA) on one side versus the rest of Kenya.
Already if you carefully look at the storm that is brewing up within Narc-Kenya over holding grass-roots elections, this is exactly what is happening. The latest is that leading Narc-Kenya politicians like Dunston Mungatana and Kipruto Kirwa are now threatening to leave the party.
Let us address their bone of contention without fear and let us mention it bluntly. It is nothing but Kikuyu arrogance in the Narc-Kenya high command that is causing the whole problem. The Kikuyu like to dominate and they ofen behave as if the other communities do not matter.
By the way I told you folks very early that this experiment of forming coalitions long before elections will not work. That's the reason why we have trouble in ODM-Kenya and trouble in Narc-Kenya. Get ready folks, it will only get worse and uglier.
This big Kikuyu issue is also the reason why Paul Muite was called a traitor by Martha Karua. It is also the reason why Koigi Wamwere will probably lose his parliamentary seat this time unless Kenyans wake up to what is happening. These two brave nationalistic Kikuyu leaders dared to support the other side by siding with the minimum reforms group.
If Kenyans do not face this issue openly and discuss it, the future is predictable. If our Kikuyu brothers will continue to call this blog tribalistic the moment we bring up such issues, then there is no chance for Kenya.
While all other tribes in Kenya also tend to promote tribalism, it is our Kikuyu brothers who are in a position to jump-start change in Kenya and help us end tribalism and all the evil that comes with it. By virtue of their sheer numbers and political and economic might, the truth is that Kenya cannot ignore the Kikuyu, even as many of the Kikuyu continue to ignore the rest of Kenya, firmly believing that only Kikuyus will make the best leaders in this country and that they are the only community that can be trusted to occupy State House responsibly.
Try telling most Kikuyus that having produced two presidents already, they should step aside and cheer on the other tribes of Kenya.

The Kikuyu Question: The Way Forward
I am aware that my posts today will cause plenty of controversy (and irritation), but I will not make any apologies. Most of you readers come here every day to read the truth presented in a way that it is not presented in any other media. We must be brave enough and mature enough to accept the truth even if it is not palatable to our personal selves.
It is only when a girl looks at the mirror and accepts the fact that she is ugly that she will be able to move on with her life and make the best of the situation. Only then can she look for cosmetics to mask her ugly skin and work on her dancing steps, jokes and smiles. But woe unto her of she continues to pretend that she is beautiful and has no problem.
Let us not get defensive either. With the classic denial stance many have taken in this blog pointing to Adolf Hitler's annihilation of millions of Jews and saying that our discussions here are headed in that direction.
In my opinion we need national healing and this can only start when we boldly face the past and the great injustices that were committed against some Kenyans. It would be advisable for those who see far and belong to the Kikuyu tribe to help organize a healing campaign where the Kikuyu can for instance publicly apologize to the Luo for the great injustices committed against them since independence. They should tell this generation about the deliberate propaganda that was peddled, not even for political reasons, but to enable corruption and the rape of this country to continue without any obstacles.
Kikuyus and Luos are both Kenyans. We love them both and we cannot do without either.
I am a son to both communities because not only was I born in Kisumu, (my parents were traveling and I couldn't wait to get into this world) but I also met my wife in Kisumu (she was traveling like I was). Many other wonderful things have happened to me because of sons and daughters of the Luo. I am also a son of the Kikuyu by marriage and some of my closest friends are Kikuyus. The blood flwoing through the veins of my children is Kikuyu. I have learnt a lot about business and entrepreneurship from Kikuyu mentors. I also love them the way they are because I understand them very well. Some of my favourite songs are Kikuyu songs—heard of a guy called Kamaru?
As Kenyans we badly need the business acumen of the Kikuyu (and their beautiful women—at least I do). And we also need the intelligence of our dear Luo brothers as well as all their other many unsung good qualities.
As the popular Eric Wainaina and company advertising jingle goes—which always brings tears to my eyes although I don't drink beer. Many musicians from many different tribes came together to compose this classic, including the smelly fore skins or jaruo, the kyuks etc.;
Feel the rhythm
A nation on the move
Feel the spirit
Feel it shining through
We are Kenya
Forever Kenya
We are Kenya, we are
One country, One PEOPLE.
