 If there is one politician in KENYA'S space is one DP William Ruto. From making a very costly political blunder by picking Rigathi Gachagua as his running mate , falling out with his boss President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga outsmarting him by picking Hon Martha Karua SC as his running mate. Ruto is off late exhibiting character traits of someone who has hit the Waterloo. He has heightened his usual behavior of speaking with anger and caricaturing veiled attacks towards his boss and the government especially cabinet secretaries for Internal security and co-ordination of Government Fred Matiang'i and his ICT counterpart Joe Mucheru. But what is more interesting is, the very CSs he is rebuking are the same he defended with all his body parts back in 2017 during the runners up to the general elections. When NASA brigade led by Raila Odinga were going after the duos jagular , DP Ruto rubbished them and said , there is no harm or illegality when the two CSs holding very crucia...

 I hope you are fine and doing well. First , it is good to take cognizance that, you are battling with the vagaries of harsh and punitive Economic times. The cost of living has skyrocketed and thr only thing left is hand to mouth pattern. In layman language , you are saying the government has refused with money. That there is very little money in the circulation. This is a coded language to mean , aspirants for various political seats have refused to grease you especially now that the official campaign period has been announced by IEBC. I fully understand that we are almost 60 days shy to the next general elections. I wonder why the haste but I too well understand that , economically , things are becoming elephant. Politicians will come. They need you. They will pamper , cajole and marinate you with juicy words. They will come to you directly. Infact , you done need to go looking for you. Why burn your calories and that aspirant needs you now more than you need him/her. The very as...

 Fellow Kenyans , when you hear DP Ruto condemning tribalism/ ethnicity , just run , run and don't look back. While running , insert your fingers in your ears so that you done get to here the hypocrisy being spewed by him. That's the only way to save your mind and heart from being poisoned. Ruto and tribalism are synonymous. They are indelible and can't be delinked. Out there in Political rallies , he will rebuke the vice that had nearly made Kenya take a genocidal route. He is quick to say how Azimio la Umoja is propagating ethnic politics and to some extent , even branded political parties from Mt Kenya region as tribal outfits. How is Azimio la Umoja one Kenya Alliance coalition party promoting ethnic politics? Infact , it is promoting the politics of oneness and walking the talk. Is is Azimio ( Unity) of UMOJA ( Oneness) . This is where political parties drawn from different ethnic nations come together to share similar ideologies , purpose and aspirations. It is a rain...

 Communication is the hallmark of any political campaign. This is because , it is the only way you communicate with the voter and one shares his manifesto and ideologies. How you tailor your message is very important. You may be an aspirant who , the moment you hold the microphone to address the masses , you easily speaks to their hearts and minds. They even don't ask for any kind of monetary favour. There is someone who takes a microphone and the moment they open their mouths to address the masses , they lose all the votes. Why??? Because they suffer from the vagaries of the id , the ego and the super ego both combined. Using the Austrian Neurologist Sigmund Freud , this kind of the people don't easily resonate with the nature. Hereby , the voters. One of those kind of people is Rigathi Gachagua. Gachagua is a blessing in disguise for Azimio la Umoja one Kenya Alliance coalition party. He is giving both Raila Odinga and Martha Karua SC very easy time in their vote hunting miss...

 In yesterday's Sunday Nation columnist section , Senator Irungu Kangata penned an article titled , " like Ruto , Raila should pledge to accept poll outcome."   In this article Kangata ventilate on a vers sensitive issue of Democratic Consolidation by quoting from Prof Samuel Philips Huntington's book , The Third Wave : Democratization in the Twentieth Century . Huntington was a very serious scholar who had penned alot of scholarly book and contributed so much in the scholarship especially in Political Science. One of his notable books are ; The Soldier and the State and Political Order in Changing Societies. Sen KANG'ATA domiciled his issue on democratic Consolidation and why Raila Odinga should accept the August 9th presidential election. From his end , he held brief for Ruto that he will accept the outcome of the August presidential election. The question is , how sure is he? Is he vying for Mūrang'a County gubernatorial seat or the presidential seat? Agai...

 Deputy President William Ruto is a man under seige politically. No matter how hard he is trying to hide it , it is coming out. Just like pregnancy which at its 8 months of maturity , it can't be hidden. Yes!!! And in Ruto's case , it is evident since he picked Mathira legislator as his running and his opponent in the Azimio la Umoja fold Raila Odinga picking Hon Martha Karua SC as his running mate. The Karua wave met him unawares. He didn't anticipate Raila Odinga picking her as his running bearing in mind , the Azimio la Umoja one Kenya Alliance coalition party shareholders are Jubilee Party and ODM. To his mind , there is no way President Uhuru Kenyatta would have allowed Raila Odinga to pick a running mate outside Jubilee Party. To him , he was anticipating either Sabina Chege or Peter Kenneth to be picket. Machos. Ruto is following closely the footsteps of Martha Karua in thr Mt Kenya region just the way poachers follows the steps of rhino or elephants in vast Tsavo We...

 Yesterday at UHURU GARDENS , Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) held a very spectacular air show and Military drills for the civilian to see the kind of work our gallant soldiers undertake while defending us from bothr internal and external aggression. Unlike before , where Kenyans would only see our soldiers performing during national holidays like the upcoming Madaraka day celebrations , yesterday it was epic The Kenya Airforce paratroopers staged airborne military drills that left Kenyans who had turned up mouth agape. Led by jump master Warrant Officer II Munai , it was a master piece exhibition. Bravo to our Soldiers. Since President Uhuru Kenyatta , the commander in chief of the Kenya defense forces picked General Robert Kibochi as the chief of defense forces , he has heightened civil - Military relationship.  KDF has been engaging in many corporate social responsibilities across Kenya which have one on one impact to the citizenry. From drilling boreholes , construction of hosp...

Rigathi Gachagua is one individual who , when he puts his tongue into motion , he leaves the hearts of many soiled , both who support Ruto and those who doesn't support him. Is it the time William Ruto should realize he made a very fatal political mistake by picking Rigathi Gachagua? I know he looked his deep pockets , his mobilization skills , his braveness in hurling scathing attacks and disparaging remarks towards the President and his family and to some extent , Kenyatta's close associates. He forgot that , with a microphone , Rigathi is worse than an ISIS militia holding an Rocket Propelled Grenade ( RPG). There is disquiet in UDA and the whole Kenya Kwanza Alliance family. They are angry by the recent Gachagua's outbursts. They are making their work more difficult , extremely very difficult. For every 50 votes they marshall in Ruto's favour , once Gachagua opens his mouth , 40 votes vanish because they don't resonate and agree with his outbursts. Is Ruto telli...

 It is now clear that the MARTHA KARUA FACTOR in Mt Kenya region is sweeping the hearts of the masses in monumental proportions that is giving UDA sleepless nights. Since Karua started making political tours in Counties which make up the Mt Kenya region , Kenya Kwanza Alliance has been trying hard to counter it by camping where Karua has just left. So , that tell you it is her who is setting the pace for them. If she visits Mūrang'a , the following day they camp there. If she goes to Meru and Tharaka Nithi Counties , the following day they camp there. If she holds a rally in Nyandarua County , the following day they camp there. In politics , you don't need rocket science to understand that , the opponent is truly aware that , the choice of Karua as Raila's running mate altered their political arithmetics and strategy in a big way. They are feeling her impact and thr only way to diffuse it is following Karua the way a house fly follows a carcass which is being transported to...

 Raila Amollo Odinga is the doyen of KENYA'S politics. Hate him or loath him. He is the real social and political engineer. The guru himself. I have never voted for him but this time round , I know by casting my one vote for him isn't enough to make him thr next president of Kenya but my support plus that one vote , Tinga will majestically walk in the State House and form the next Government. In him , I haven't allowed my mind to be blind folded by tribal mentality that Ruto are demons. I can vividly remember how Raila Odinga was demonize , bastardized and loathed. Politics is dynamic , now , the very person has become a house hold name.  The narrative in Mt Kenya region has changed tremendously. In entertainment joints , market places , in Tea farms abs collection centres , in shopping centres and in PSV matatus , Raila Odinga is a topic of discussion. Tinga commands a formidable organic voting and support block. His charismatic leadership is what creates a strong magnetis...

 The issue of land in this Country is very emotive. It is an issue that have led to bloodshed , hatred , bitterness and even squattership etc. In many court registries and shelves , most of the civil cases are all about land. In the Chiefs and sub Chief offices , most of the cases they handle each day are on land disputes. Most of the con games that involve millions and billions of shillings , land is at the centre. What am trying to say is , the issue of land in Kenya is a hot potato. It is an issue that stemmed from the independence goverment led by the late President Jomo Kenyatta. It is an issue which was the genesis of his fall out with his fellow Kapenguria six fellows. Also , it was at the centre of the ideological differences between him and his VP Jaramogi Oginga Odinga. In his book , former Bahari MP Joe Khamisi in his mouth watering book "LOOTERS AND GRABBERS" he has documented shocking information about land grab from the Jomo regime to the current Government. Thi...

 It is now evident that DP William Ruto has sensed defeat at the presidential ballot. The formation of Azimio la Umoja one Kenya Alliance coalition party has left the Kenya Kwanza Alliance fold confused. What irkrd the whole Tanga Tanga fraternity which has been making tours in Mt Kenya region for the last 9 years is being reduced into a joke. Ruto is now struggling to remain afloat in Mt Kenya region. The conversation is changing and now he is strategizing how he will be in opposition but be a powerful opposition leader. He has already sensed that , the presidential seat has gone and Raila Odinga is in a pole position to occupy State House and form the next government. Ruto is a man on the mission as he keeps on saying and he doesn't have the luxury to retreat. Here the mission isn't to annihilate the Kikuyus in the Rift Valley who won't vote for him come August 9th. Someone asked , if Ruto will lose in the next general elections , will Rift Valley especially north Rift be...

 The Martha Karua SC effect is causing a political tsunami across thr Country. The wave has changed from Mt Kenya region moving downwards and majority of the voters have not been left behind. It is a card that President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga pulled and left the opponent confused and they are trying to re-strategize in vain. Kenya Kwanza Alliance were hoping for the Azimio la Umoja to make a tactical blunder by either picking Sabina Chege or Peter Kenneth as Raila's running mate. That is because , the Mūrang'a County factor was being top of the agenda. The reason was to neutralize the UDA wave which is highly entrenched in Mūrang'a County than in any other Mt Kenya region Counties. Hon Martha Karua SC is the party leader of NARC Kenya. Since she was picked to be Raila's running mate , she has fully committed to Azimio la Umoja. She dons in Azimio la Umoja fatigue and not Narc Kenya's. The conversation in Mt Kenya region is now between Karua and Rigathi Gach...

 Kakamega Senator Cleophas Wakhungu Malala is a man who likes courting trouble very much. Most of the times , there lacks a correlation between his brains and his tongue. It runs like a posho mill in Kolenyo market in thr evening and especially on a market day. He is one politicians who doesn't mint his words. His political journey is very tricky. Before he rose to promise , Malala was just an MCA in one of Wards in Kakamega County from 2013 to 2017. In 2017 , he tried his stab on Senatorial seat in that County on an ANC and made it something that shocked many.  Just the other day , he read a political riot card to one William Ruto that , them( ANC) have left UDA party to field in Rift Valley and other partfs of the Country , so , Ruto should not meddle in Western Kenya politics and especially in Kakamega County by fielding UDA parliamentary aspirants and also ward seats. Malala angrly read that riot card without mincing words. To cement his threats , he even removed Ruto port...

 Today , the National prayer breakfast was organized and it was led by President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy President William Ruto. A host of other Leaders and dignitaries were present. The rest of kenyans were following the proceedings through the national Television stations in thr comfort of their houses , workplaces and even streaming live from their smartphones. Netizens like doing it very much. Thanks for the technological advancements. In that prayer breakfast , Political elites from both sides of the political divide were present. Both Azimio la Umoja and Kenya Kwanza Alliance honchos were present. Right Hon Raila Odinga wasn't present but Hon Martha Karua SC was present. No politics was played in the podium but it was highly played through the body language and especially between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his DP William Ruto. Fact!! The gist of that prayer meeting is for politicians and the rest of kenyans to embrace peace during this electioneering period. That it i...

 President Uhuru Kenyatta is one politician in Kenya who is highly ignored by his opponents but he is very lethal politically , witty and strategist. He should the World after in March 13 , 2018 after he shook hands with his political adversary Raila Odinga. This is one thing that DP Ruto became bitter with his boss. According to Ruto , president UHURU KENYATTA ought to have read the late President Moi little red book on detention without trial and cannibalistic Political persecution on his political adversaries. President Uhuru Kenyatta chose peace. He didn't look at himself but the whole Country. He kept the 2007/08 Post Election Violence (PEV) close to his chest. He knew that , those people who are afraid of learning from history have something sinister to hide. Kenyatta decided to put his friendship with his DP to save the face of the country which was taking an ugly route after the persistent NASA demonstrations in Nairobi's CBD and other major towns where the coalition en...
