While President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga are busy telling Kenyans how the government of National Unity is solid and united, behind the scenes deadly daggers have been drawn and it is possible that very soon we will see some major turmoil on the political front.
Interestingly both sides of the political divide thing that they have outsmarted the other. I will reserve my controversial but well thought out verdict for the very end. After I have told you what they are saying and doing deep in the kitchens of PNU and ODM.
The plan now in the drawing boards of PNU insiders is to look for a way to put a spanner in the works to bring down the government of national unity. The motive is simple. They have carefully gone through the Anan laws with the help of lawyers and it is clear that in the event of the GNU collapsing Kibaki remains president and has the power to re-constitute a new cabinet. The PNU think tank s confident that they will be able to easily pull this one off because they say that they have well-documented evidence of corruption amongst the top ranks of ODM (more details in my raw notes to be released tomorrow). Interestingly ODM, as brilliant as their think tank is, has not been able to document much on the PNU side in terms of evidence on corrupt deals.
So the plan will be to leak the evidence to the public which I am informed will cause serious outrage and great disappointment even amongst ODM diehards.
The truth is that the Anan deal greatly favored PNU and ODM was short-changed in many ways. This is what PNU insiders are looking to cash in on.
It is not clear what the effect of the break up of the GNU would have on the general public. Most Kenyans are really sick of the current crop of politicians and Kenyan politics as a whole so the truth is that many will be delighted to see the GNU collapse. The only problem is that the alternative (a Kibaki cabinet) will not be acceptable to many. We know for instance that the warriors in Rift Valley have not disarmed. We also know that groups sympathetic to the PNU cause have been heavily arming and swore earlier this year never again to be caught unawares. That is the reality on the ground.
But as usual PNU insiders seem to have miscalculated and have probably not fully considered the repercussions of a re-constituted Kibaki cabinet.
As much as I have no love lost for the greedy selfish insensitive GNU, I shudder to think of what any alternative may bring.

Kibaki: Forgive My Criminal Negligence and Move On
Either Kibaki must have been religiously reading Kumekucha or thinking on the same wavelength as his apologists here. This may be the only way to reconcile his attempts to give national wings to the MOVE ON mantra. He started it over the weekend in Nakuru telling the IDPs to forgive and promptly made it the central plank of his Kenyatta day speech.
Ours is a country raped of any future and crying for direction from scoundrels with no BALLS to take challenges head on. Instead they perfect DECEPTIVE maneuvers to bandage national wounds that will surely consign us collectively to septic trauma. But you cannot blame nor envy Kibaki given the fact that Waki and Kriegler report both point fingers at two institutions at the heart of his fraudulent presidency. Before you shout stuck record please tell that Waki who has also chosen to address the cause and not cherry pick symptoms.
The heads of ECK and the police force are human and would not go down with a fight. The cupboard is full of skunks whose order is guaranteed to intoxicate all and sundry. The stinking details are too scary to imagine and faint hearts would better do with amnesty which they have been all hitherto opposing before the mask was removed from close buddies who schemed and financed murder of fellow Kenyans within the hallowed precincts of State House.
Kriegler may have been too cautious only sticking his neck on ECK. But not Waki who went the whole hog and looked the horse in the mouth and called it bluff in three apt words, IMPUNITY, IMPUNITY and more IMPUNITY. Expecting the same person who personifies impunity extraordinaire is not only naive at best but akin to recommending self-amputation of your very limbs at worst.
Unbreakable Hague noose
Poor Kenyans, we are stuck in a rut as we remain collectively hostage to poor, deceptive and fraudulent leadership whose singular agenda is to auction every facet of our country to the highest bidder. The supporting acts of Libyans have had their paycheck and so do Ugandans. Meanwhile Kibaki only remains comfortable with tried and tested fear of the unknown by selfishly cautioning that implementing Waki and Kriegler recommendations will plunge Kenyan into further into acrimony. For Pete’s sake we are at the bottom of the pit and we cannot fal any deeper.
Even Kofi Annan concurs that our problems are all rolled up in IMPUNITY and preaching forgiveness will only succeed in entrenching the same beast. We cannot afford the luxury of Moi-like hollow slogans of peace, love and unity. But thank God for small mercies. Waki must have foreseen the dithering and playing dice with Kenyans’ lives.
Waki's Hague option is not only LETHAL but a masterstroke and timeless too. Kibaki is better advised to act now when he can use incumbency to manipulate things in his favour. Gerrymandering will only see him plucked from Othaya to the Hague Charles Taylor style. Time is priceless and Emilio cannot buy in this case.
