This is Alfred Mutua's deadliest enemy, forget Muthama

POOR KAOS!!

They will never go anywhere until a certain guy leaves Ukambani for good. A guy who is now governor Alfred Mutua's biggest enemy. A man who will never rest until Mutua is finished. This is the guy who has so incited Johnstone Muthama mpaka hakuweza kuvumilia success ya mkamba mwenzake.

Remember that Muthama is usually a very level headed politician. So what is this that came over him to go to court to stop the best thing that has ever happened to Machakos?

Let me introduce you to him. His name is CRAB MENTALITY

What is this crab mentality?

If you have caught crabs then you know that once you have caught at least two then you needn’t worry about them escaping. This is because they will always prevent each other from getting out first. Wikipedia puts it very well thus;

“Crab mentality, sometimes referred to as crabs in the bucket, describes a way of thinking best described by the phrase "if I can't have it, neither should you." The metaphor refers to a pot of crabs. Singly, the crabs could easily escape from the pot, but instead, they grab at each other in a useless "king of the hill" competition which prevents any from escaping and ensures their collective demise. The analogy in human behavior is that of a group that will attempt to "pull down" (negate or diminish the importance of) any member who achieves success beyond the others, out of jealousy or competitive feelings.

This term is broadly associated with short-sighted, non-constructive thinking rather than a unified, long-term, constructive mentality. It is also often used colloquially in reference to individuals or communities attempting to "escape" a so-called "underprivileged life", but kept from doing so by others attempting to ride upon their coat-tails or those who simply resent their success…”

Historically Kamba leaders have always been extremely jealous of each other and have gone to great lengths to finish each other, using all kinds of ploys and even witchcraft. Any half intelligent observer would wonder why the community has never realized that supporting each other would be much more beneficial to all.

Paul Ngei a prominent politician from Ukambani in his day was arch rivals with Mulu Mutisya another prominent politician in the area at around the same time. The differences between the two got so serious that they physically fought on several occasions. Today the rivalry between Charity Ngilu and Kalonzo Musyoka is legendary and all efforts to unite the two have come to naught. Interestingly both were in the YES camp in the referendum for the new constitution and yet clearly the two were extremely uncomfortable in each others company during the major rallies and meetings where they had to share the same platform. I am willing to bet you any amount that the two never ever shared a seat close to each other during cabinet meetings.

This inexplicable rivalry and crab mentality spreads well beyond politics into the business world. I have been in numerous situations where things have changed dramatically with another Kamba immediately they realize that I too have some Kamba blood in me.

Indeed this is one of the reasons why Machakos town (the first inland capital of the British protectorate that became Kenya and many decades older than Nairobi) has remained very much behind in development. Kambas would rather an outsider comes into the city and prospers in business rather than one of their own. Immediately somebody rises they will rush to a witchdoctor to finish them.

Where did this evil crab guy come from? The house of Mumbi always support each other, see how far they have gone. Luos will travel many miles to support a fellow Luo's business. But the poverty stricken crab mentality Kambas are busy shooting down governor Mutua when he is being celebrated countrywide and worldwide. Their small crab brains are telling them; "I have been around for so long where did this young man with big ideas come from? I cannot allow him to succeed just like that."

And as usual you can be sure witchdoctors have been visited and instructed to "finish" or at the very least "slow down" Mutua.

This is very sad and something that the Kamba community needs to find a way of facing and eradicating if they are to benefit from the good work governor Mutua is trying to do in that cursed forsaken crab county.

The first lady Kenya never knew

She has to be one of the most fascinating characters in Kenyan politics and yet Kenyans know virtually nothing about her. Lena Moi is the only woman to have ever called former President Daniel arap Moi "my husband." The two got married in 1950 (7 years before Moi entered active politics). She is pictured here with her husband in an extremely rare photograph taken in the early 70s by the Vice Presidential press unit at Tree Tops in Nyeri. The couple were on some kind of bonding retreat away from all the rough and tumble of Kenyan politics.

During the Kenyatta administration Lena was sometimes seen at big public occasions at her husbands' side. That was until an incident at the 1974 New year's state ball at State House Nakuru. At that function all hell broke loose and Lena was right in the middle of it. Details cannot be given here because of the sensitivity of what went down but can be found in my book Dark Secrets of the Kenyan Presidency and also in back issues of my raw notes. However in brief Lena confronted a certain woman who was dancing with her husband and even efforts by President Jomo Kenyatta to diffuse the situation by asking Lena to dance with him (it is not every day that the President of the Republic of Kenya asks for a dance) did not work.

It was shortly after this that Lena "disappeared" and was to spend the rest of her life well away from public limelight. The official word that came out years later was that the two were divorced in 1974, the very year the said Nakuru incident happened. The former president however supported her upkeep until her death.

Born Helena Bommett in 1930, the first lady who never was is said to have been a typical Kalenjin woman. Simple, down to earth and very religious. She also had such a serious temper which in modern times would have made her the ideal candidate for anger management counseling. Analysts believe that it was this part of her character more than anything else that put a huge strain on her marriage. After all political wives will tell you that it is not easy and one needs to be very cool and wise to keep the family together more so in Kenyan politics.

Anger aside Lena was a very generous kind-hearted woman whose concern for others often went to extremes. At the time of her death she is said to have had a mind boggling list of benefactors who totally relied and depended on her.

Lena passed on 22nd July 2004 at the Mercy Hospital Eldama Ravine after an undisclosed illness. By then her husband had left the presidency. It is ironic that in death Lena helped her husband's political cause considerably more than she ever did when she was alive. At the time of her death relationships between Moi and Kibaki were strained with the former president even telling the press that he was being followed around by NSIS agents and pleading to be left alone to enjoy his retirement. Kibaki and Moi's meeting at the funeral broke the ice and marked the beginning of a new tight relationship between the two men that culminated in Moi's strong support for Kibaki's re-election in 2007.

At the funeral Moi recalled the last moments with Lena, saying they had had a very good family conversation with the deceased and two of their daughters earlier on the fateful day before she passed on.
