Karangi in, Ruto's neck for 2022 political noose


DP Ruto is one astute Kenyan politician who prides himself being a hustler even if the tag is a clever ruse meant to spice his grand graft past and present.

While it may sound foolhardy, the truth is that the hustler has being politically outsmarted and boxed into a corner where he belongs.

While Rachel's hubby is busy lighting fires in Western buying LPK for pliable ODM MPs, the real premier league Uhuru succession is being militarised with ex-army chief Karangi replacing Kimaiyo at Kenya Airport Authority with no pretence to ceremony.

Truth is in Kenya there are some dockets that has its owners. And lest we forget Kimunya's prolific  profiling of a whole community by reminding them that "The stock exchange is not a fish market".

Stereotypes and chauvinism

KAA is one lucrative department that must be controlled by insiders complicated enough to market graft as strategy not one functionally illiterate ex-police boss who can't pronounce SIEGE.

Forget the hitherto victimhood card, the ruling tribe now operates with a sense of entitlement with no trace of pretence.

The two rich ministries of Transport and Energy tells it all. Board meeting can be conducted in mother tongue and those fussing about it can seek the deepest part of Lake Victoria and take a dive not to resurface.

It is the political homestretch and we haven't seen anything yet. The old guard from the ruling tribe have acquired digital recruits oozing bigoted, reckless and derogatory comments with abandon. Woe unto you those who dare challenge or question their divine right to rule and plunder as the taxpayers take the tab.

National unity my foot!

The only unity that matters is within the ruling tribe uniting behind one of their own. Ruto's dispensable flower girls (real Kalenjins) must count their stars for breathing royal oxygen while being allowed to loot petty cash as the big money goes to the owners of Kenya.

Well, the ruling tribe has ranked and profiled other Kenyan communities but one thing is for sure, they will be ranked too, and painfully so very soon.

that undermine national unity. Comments like ‘the stock exchange is not a fish market’ are

The arrogance and demeaning reference to other Kenyans is one sure recipe for tension. But who care?

One thing is for sure. The ruling tribe has ranked and profiled other Kenyan communities and they will be surely ranked too, and painfully so very soon.

It is 2016 and you don't expect to RULE a people with contempt packaged in superlative stereotypes and chauvinism.

Kenya: Banana republic ruled by digital tribalists

Hypocrisy galore from the highest echelons of power in Kenya. And the adage goes hypocrisy is the homage that vice pays to virtue.

What a shame that while Kenya is executively steamrolled down the garden path of abyss by the dynamically clueless duo, their apologies are applauding all the resulting stench.

Well, let them enjoy the beauty of every floor on their way down oblivious of the sturdy pavement awaiting to painfully crack their tribal skulls.

Truth be said, nothing is ever achieved by a bigoted government running on slick PR devoid of substance. Even the hitherto suave Tony Blair hired to globalise and sanitise the rot has taken a back seat drawing his pay cheque without breaking a sweat.

And what is more, already executive hustling is in top gear to perpetuate more of the same come  2022 and even worse.

You know you live in a banana republic in militant denial when her politics is so predictable a deputy president starts measuring the drapes of State House more than a half decade in advance.

It is superlative impunity to negate the fundamentals of democracy making political outcome certain while keeping the process (read IEBC) fluid and unpredictable.

Katiba raped
The hitherto progressive katiba promulgated in 2010 has been raped and bastardised to its bare bones.

Forget the facade of hiding under the same shredded constitution claiming to protect and operate under established institutions which have all been emasculated to serve narrow twin-tribal interests.

Promoting national graft and packaging it as hustling and seeling it as a virtue is the height of lack of moral compass. But hey, who would blame the ruling duo who only asked successfully for ethnic backs to ride on to power to extricate themselves from the yoke of ICC. You only reap what you sow.

The clueless duo are so street smart they know how to mint and grow national confusion to mask their incompetence.

Just look at the shamelessness of EACC as an executive lapdog licking the feet and whitewashing mega graft scandals like NYS.

Add that to the executive-induced circus at the judiciary for obvious reasons and you get an original script on the manual of how to make a banana country and deny it in ethnic vitriol.
