Kalonzo Moment, Welcome Aboard MV Miracle
In his characteristic style, the Miracle man continues to attract allies with eyes singularly trained for the ultimate price come 2012. Kalonzo’s smart moves have ruffled very powerful feathers the wrong way and now they have reverted to DIRTY political tricks of yore. The second longest serving MP in 10th parliament is the man to watch as Kenya’s fourth president. And what a gift from God it would be for Kenya to have a saved leader leading from the front and by example.
The good old adage wouldn't have been more apt. Well, good and well-nurtured people like Kalonzo are magnets to evil designs selfishly crafted to pull them down - pepo mbaya ishindwe. After shaming the devils in last year’s general election, the schemes to derail Kalonzo’s oiled political juggernaut is working overdrive.
When ex-cop and PICK boss Mwau is not stealthily plotting to undermine the VP in his own backyard by renting ODM-K councilors, Water minister Ngilu is busy planting spies fully armed with the longest pins ready inside Steve’s inflated balloon. Speak of a prophet being handed a noose by his own people who unwittingly remain oblivious of the messiah they just about to murder.
Political noose
All the nasty schemes won’t see the light of the day and the miracle will soon acquire an unstoppable wave that will only recede when HE Steve has safely and soundly landed at the coast of State House. Make no mistake in numbers. The massive GEMA votes are secure in Steve’s bag since has shown the capacity to PLAY ball. Add that to the Kamba Block and with pockets of token votes from here and there thanks to Steve’s national political network, all visionary politicians roads will soon lead to Tseikuru.
Woe unto the poor Kiemas and Kilonzos of this world who have allowed themselves to be FOOLISHLY roped into devilish schemes to politically butcher one of their own. The political noose is tightening around their necks as we draw towards 2012. Meanwhile Kenya is head to the stars aboard the MIRACLE train. Forget pies in the illusive sky about corruption czars, better the angel we know who is tried and tested. Welcome aboard MV MIRACLE.
John Githongo: "We Have No Time To Lose"
John Githongo has arrived back in Europe after returning to Kenya for the first time in over three years. He has returned to Europe as planned to undertake activities relating to his current commitments outside the country. He is due back in Kenya in September.
Over the course of his week-long trip, John Githongo met the Prime Minister, Vice President and senior political figures, and held meetings with a wide range of business and civil society representatives.
Speaking immediately on return to Europe, John Githongo says:
"This has been an important and formative week for me personally. I have had the opportunity to meet and talk with those who some people call 'ordinary Kenyans', but who are in fact the real heroes of the last few months.
"I have been struck particularly by the impact of external factors such as food and fuel costs on the day-to-day life of Kenyans. The impact on the poor – those that make up over half Kenya's population – is profound. These pressures drive home the need to support national efforts to address these challenges.
"Radical changes need to take place in Kenya, and I believe passionately that the resilience, the drive and the skills of Kenyans will ensure that our country emerges stronger from this process. Most critically of all: we have no time to lose.
"I have put myself at the disposal of the people; I will promote Kenya, and I will continue to champion the beliefs and principles that I and all Kenyans share."
