Who was Uhuru referring to as the cause of URP rebellion?


Businessman causing chaos but all president Uhuru can do is speak out against him
 
The president of Kenya is still a very powerful office. And so you would expect that a mere businessman who is inciting politicians within JUBILEE to rebel against President Uhuru Kenyatta would be dealt with firmly and quickly.

Instead all the president could do yesterday was angrily hit out at the said businessman at a public meeting in the Rift Valley and didn't even mention his name. Why?

Who is this person that has made the president so angry? Why is he still untouchable to the extent where nothing more can be done against him? The answer will leave you numb with shock. It seems in Kenya crime pays and it pays big time. This individual has a long track record of being very corrupt but remains untouchable. He even embezzled massive funds from a former president and nothing happened to him. Actually he is also craftier than a desert fox.

His amazing story is in my latest raw note but this is a good time to ask ourselves the million shilling question yet again, who really rules Kenya? The politicians or those who bankroll them?

Traditionally the public and even the press have been naive enough to always ignore the source of funding for our politicians. Actually that should always be the first question the issue that an investigative journalist should always interrogate first.

But even as we continue to ignore the big elephant in the room we have created monsters who straddle our political landscape quite capable of holding the president of the republic of Kenya at bay as was clearly proved yesterday in the Rift Valley.

Mandela: From Prisoner to President to Prince of Humanity

He came into a hostile and unforgiving world. Greater evil was visited upon him. He was incarcerated for a generation, 27 years. He lent his shoulders to carry the burden and hopes of his countrymen and humanity in general. What is more, he reigned supreme, conquered fear, inspired the world and left it a better place.

Mandela was a saint in the sense of a sinner always trying. Above all else he was an icon who will be remembered among the greatest in the 20th century.

The tributes tell it all; from present and former world leaders, musicians, clerics and sports personalities. Mandela's charm made him dance with kids, crack jokes with Hollywood stars and reprimand the world's most powerful leaders.

What Gandhi was to India and Lincoln to America, Mandela was to Suth Africa/Africa and humanity.

Fare thee well Madiba, you left us a richer world thanks to your sacrifice and selflessness.

Born July 18th 1918, he died at 95 and many will remember him as the man who beat apartheid.
