KENYA KWANZA ALLIANCE ; A FORMIDABLE ALLIANCE OR JUST A HOUSE OF CARDS?

Image
 It is now evident that , there is storm in the Kenya Kwanza Alliance after small affiliate political parties in Mt Kenya region , that is , Tujibebe Wakenya party , Chama Cha Kazi , The service party etc which were lately roped in to join the alliance though in a casual manner. The biggest stakeholder in Kenya Kwanza Alliance is UDA and UDA is Kenya Kwanza Alliance. The rest , Amani National Congress ( ANC) and Ford Kenya are just there to be seen inorder to hoodwink the residents of Western Kenya that , they are firmly in that Alliance. They were offered 30% of the government and State portfolios if they manage to bring on board 70% of Western Kenya votes. The question , where will they get this votes from? In this scenario , someone is taking the rest in a fishing expedition. Kenya Kwanza Alliance is a mongrel of an alliance where , on paper , it is said that it has 3 principals but in reality , it is one party that is dictating all the terms. In this case I mean , it is UDA whi...

RIGATHI GACHAGUA ; THE ECONOMIC TERMINATOR.

Image
 When it walks like a duck , quacks like a duck and swims like a duck , then , it is a duck. RIGATHI GACHAGUA has exhibited that he is far away from holding the position of a Deputy President. Infact , Ruto picking him as his running mate was and will remain his WORST political mistake. However much he is trying to feign all is well , his body language speaks the other wise. Rigathi suffered from a severe verbal diarrhea. He lacks emotional intelligence and his quick to anger is his greatest liability and enemy. Prof Kindiki Kithure could have made the best running mate for William Ruto. Truth be told , Azimio la Umoja one Kenya Alliance coalition party fraternity were fearing Ruto not to pick Prof Kindiki Kithure. Yes!!! In him , residents see the late President Mwai Kibaki in him. A liberal mind and someone who always ensures that , his mind and his brain is always in tandem before putting his mouth into gear.  It is good to know that , at this moment , Rigathi's tongue is h...

WHY RAILA'S 6K PROMISE TO VULNERABLE FAMILIES WILL CAUSE A COBRA EFFECT?

Image
 As Mwihaki Hegel Fredrick , am a staunch supporter of Azimio la Umoja coalition party. The support and love for the outfit is ingrained in my blood vessels. I always don't like sycophancy to blind fold me however much they say politics is partisan. I always measure the partisanship and that's why , I will take this opportunity to critique Raila Odinga perverse incentive that is targeting the most vulnerable citizens in the society by offering the sh 6000 stipend every month. A perverse incentive is an incentive that result in unintended negative consequences due to actions people take to receive the incentive. A German Economist Horst Siebert coined a phrase the cobra effect to explain this kind of incentive that Azimio la Umoja coalition party presidential aspirant Raila Odinga is planning to introduce. It is a good one because it is one of the programmes that a social welfare States brings forth but they are very costly and can lead to disastrous effects. What is Cobra effec...

KALONZO MUSYOKA : FLIP FLOPPING KINGMAKER.

Image
 Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka is a Kenyan politician who you need alot of energy and commitment to study. Yes!!! Since he entered elective politics in the 80's , he has been blowing hot and cold in all the political decisions he has ever encountered himself in. Those who interacted with him in his long and decorated Political career attest that , he is one human being who is difficult to understand. His indecisive nature led in 2010 during the clamour for a new Constitution , Kenyans branded him a watermelon. This is because , the symbols which were chosen by the Interim Independent Electoral Commission ( IIEC) were Red for those who opposed it led by William Ruto and green for those who supported it led by Raila Odinga. Kalonzo , them Vice President of Kenya exhibited the chameleon nature. In some instances , he talked it about that constitution and some instances supporting. This made Kenyans to be confused and failed to understand him.  If there is one person who can clearly def...

PLATO ; HOW HE VIEWED THE SOCIETY.

Image
 PLATO was a Greece political philosopher and thinker. He is among the founding fathers of political theory which is taught all over the world and have shaped both the leaders , Society , States and the academia. PLATO was born in Athens in ( 427 - 387 BC) and his works are still relevant to date. He is a philosopher who took his time to study the society and the State in deep. Today , I will delve on the 3 stratagems that Plato placed the society. He dissected the three types of people in the society and when you look around ,to date , they still exist all over the world especially in Political set up. They are ; the Artisans , the Auxiliaries and thr philosopher-Kings. I will dissect each of them in deep.  Firstly , the Artisans are the producers. They are the " ordinary Wanjiku" making the base of thr society , providing a huge market for goods and services in an economy. In Kenya , the contemporary name they bestowed with is the name " hustlers" in reference to ...

BOTTOM UP ECONOMIC MODEL , IS IT GENUINE OR JUST A POLITICAL POPULISTIC SLOGAN?

Image
 Bottom up economic model is the sweetest political Strategy that Deputy President William Ruto invented inorder to whip the masses in his own political fold. It has been resonating with the majority of the suffering Kenyans now grouped in the hustler nation fold. This model was coined by DP Ruto himself. Where he got it from I don't know but he told us that he got it from US. The leading World super Power and a strong follow of liberal economics. The hustler narrative was tailored to be bring thr ordinary wanjiku into the fold under the guise that he will be liberated Economically by the very people who have actively contributed to dipping her in the pit he is currently in. Ironic. The aim of this Economic model which , even Ruto's head of Economic and policy strategy Economist Dr David Mwangi Ndii has been in pains to explain to Kenyans what this model is all about. Ndii is a product of liberal economics ( laissez faire) since he graduated with an undergraduate degree in Econ...

KARUA ; SENDING POLITICAL SHOCKWAVES TO THE OPPONENTS.

Image
 The Raila-Karua ticket has do far disorganized , disfigured and dismembered the opponents camp especially the Kenya Kwanza Alliance in a big way. They have deviated from their populistic bottom up economic model and hustler nation narratives since Right Hon Raila Odinga picker Hon Martha Karua as his running mate. So far , they have centred their conversation and tirades on the person of Martha Karua. That's cascades to one thing , the choice was politically lethal and Ruto and his coteries have realized that. Today , their centre of attention was Martha Karua. Starting from Gakoigo stadium in Maragwa Constituency to Karatina in Nyeri County. In Maragwa , the populistic Economic forum was hurriedly addressed and the bulk of their time was to discuss and talk about Hon Martha Karua. Hilarious!!! They are so cornered such that , they have buried the hustler- dynasty narrative , bottom up economic model and tutaunda serikali ya mama mboga to pulling feminists rants which are baked in...
