The Old Man Never Killed Ouko

Moi never did it.

I have written two novels, one with my good friend Marriane Brinner, in which I claimed Moi was the mind behind the murder of the late Dr. Robert Ouko. I'm aware that this is a matter most Kenyans have forgotten about, but I have not. I just don't find the crazy stuff Kibaki is doing with Ali and Ringera very sexy. In fact, the games the President is playing at State House just stink.

Back to Moi and Ouko.

I have come by new and compelling evidence that exonerate Moi on the Ouko issue. It takes a big man like me to own up when new evidence refutes allegations made earlier. So since the premise of those two books, The Night Bob Died and A Shining Star in darkness was that Moi killed Ouko, I want to state categorically that Moi never did it.

I have been walked through the chronology of events that led up to Ouko's death, including the key players...and how the same man who masterminded Bob's death eventually staged a commando raid at the late Hezekiah Oyugi's Kileleshwa home. What is fascinating is the way the murderer staged the event to look like an inside job in the Moi administration.

It wasn't.

The killer wasn't Moi...and neither was it Biwott.

Stay tuned!

The Day Kibaki Fired Police Boss, Rewarded Major Ali

By firing Major Ali, President Kibaki has called Kumekucha's April 1 post bluff. Well, it is not foolish to play the game and score five months later.

What a political genius President Kibaki is? With the musical chair rewarding Major Ali with Posta CEO job while pretending to have fired him as police boss, he has taken the wind off the sail of furore over Ringera's reappointment.

Give it to one Mzee Muthaura. The government was tottering in brink of collapse for the few weeks he was hospitalized. But thank God for his recovery. Now the heat is back and the octogenarian diplomat is destined to fix things in no time.

Where is the loudmouthed Prof. Alston? The UN activist wanted Ali, Wako and Ringera removed. Now with the typical Kenyan token gesture, Ali has been cleverly sacrificed to create an impression of action with no actual movement. He can eat his heart out. As for Kenyans, they can as well resign to being tenants to the real landlords. MTA DO?

All the noise about police reforms have been nipped in the bud. Kibaki's former security commandant Iteere is the new police boss. Under him are flower assistants charged with reforms, chapter closed.

Nobody understands Kenyans better than Kibaki. Aware of our short memory, he has fired and rewarded Major Ali. And with that singular stroke of genius Ringera is securely fenced from attacks as we gleefully jump to the next hot issue before us. OLE WETU.
