State House Circus Of Two Warring Wives Starts Again

archive

If current trends will continue then it seems that Kenyans will end up with an alecetion where the side shows will hog all the major attention.

Two days ago a very strange statement was issued from State House warning that only people with clearance from State House will be allowed to campaign for president Kibaki. The statement went on top warn Kenyans to beware of criminals and people with links to known criminals conning giving them the impression that they had the blessings of the president.

One does not need to be a rocket scientist to know who the attack was targeted at. It was a heavy laden missile aimed straight at the heart of one Mary Wambui, so-called Narc-Kenya activist. Mary Wambui is in fact the president's second wife, only that newspapers in Kenya are not allowed to say so. That's press freedom for you. Now to make matters worse, those close to the president have started spreading rumours that the president's daughter through Mary Wambui was not actually sired by the president but she was married when she already had her.

Those in the know insist that this is a big lie, coming from the same people who gave us the big Anglo leasing scandal lie which many Kenyans are busy pretending did not happen.

It is very unfair that domestic issues should be catapulted into the national arena. Just reading the State House statement on who should campaign for the president and who should not will tell you that the venom with which it was written could only have come from a woman. We all know which woman makes the rules at State House, don't we?

The truth of the matter is that Mary Wambui is a more seasoned and experienced campaigner and Lucy only started showing interest in politics the day she had that her husband had been elected president of Kenya. Mary Wambui in contrast has stuck with the Kibaki campaign team through thick and thin. I dare add that played a major role in getting the president and Lucy (who now fights her) into State house.

We all know what they say about a house that is divided, more so when it could face a very stiff challenge from a unified ODM presidential candidate.

'07 Presidential Candidates With Dictatorial Tendencies

I usually laugh when readers of this blog fall short of swearing on their dead relatives that such and such a candidate has NO dictatorial tendencies while another one has. It is funny because not a single presidential candidate can claim to be immune to being a dictator once they are safely inside State House.

Kenyans have very short memories and many have forgotten the way one Emilio Mwai Kibaki humbly came hat in hand in 2002 knocking on our doors and begging us to cast our votes for him. As soon as the man was inside State House, he did not even return to thank us for voting for him but ignored us and went on with his business. When oush came to shove he would send emissaries to tell us this and that thing. Predictably, now that elections are around the corner all manner of goodies (Teachers salary hike etc.) are being released so that we forget the horror and nightmare of the last 5 years and cast our vote once again for Mwai Kibaki.

Admittedly the problem has more to do with the piece of paper we call our constitution which gives the President of the republic of Kenya colossal powers. The president in Kenya is as powerful as the Kings of old. Usually a king in those days owned everything including their subjects and his word was law.

In recent years efforts have been made to clip those powers but there has been so much grey area conveniently left by some of these amendments that to be honest very little has changed.

So what do you expect when any of the self-seeking guys standing for president has such power at their disposal? My bet is that many of them (if not all of them) will do exactly what Emilio did.

The whole lot are Idi Amin under the current situation. Period.
