MANDAGO VS BUZEKI

WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF ETHNIC INDIFFERENCE.

I don't know who is going to help me figure out what is happening in Uasin gishu gubernatorial race. Both contestants hail from the same tribal background. It follows therefore that their acrimony is not ethnic disparity. What the hell are they fighting over?. It reminds me of how brothers fight over property where the Father dies intestate.

Why is it that the gubernatorial race between two people in the same ethnic background and same political outfit, causes a rift between two separate communities sharing a political affiliation? Is it because we are overrating political unity while sweeping beneath the carpet historical indifferences? There could be undertows of sharp ethnic rivalry under the garb of political chronism. Until the volatile issues narturing ethnic hatred are reconciled, peace and tolerance might not be a true reflection of the underlying dynamite of negative ethnicity.

My verdict is Jackson Mandago has already been governor for five years, subsequently, he should allow fresh blood from Buzeki. Change is always better than a rest. Why is it that most Africans once they smell the coffee, they cannot get off the table? They just want more coffee.

The day Africans will learn not to cling to power like mating dogs, that will be the onset of responsible governance in Africa. I am happy Raila has promised to be a one term president just like Nelson Mandela.

On the Contrary, President Uhuru just like Paul Kagame, Pierre Nkurunzissa, Yoweri Museveni, Daniel Moi, Jomo Kenyatta, Mugabe and many more would rather die in power. Mandago should give way for Buzeki. Eldoret needs new leadership.

SUPREME COURT RULING

MY SUPREME COURT JUDGMENT I am not a lawyer and as such I am only qualified to render my layman’s submission to the court of public opinion, where one does not apply to be “amicus curiae.” In the court of public opinion everybody is both a lawyer and judge and so I can adduce my evidence confidently and make a ruling on my evidence. I want to usurp this opportunity to tell my one page judgment as Chief Justice David Maraga advised. The Chief Justice invited the public to read the Supreme Court judgment and subsequently make individual ruling.             Guys I tried to look at Chebukati trying by hook and crook to exonerate the commissioners from the mess and implicating the secretariat. Chebukati clarified they just assumed office a few months ago, coming into an old secretariat. Although the summary ruling of the Supreme Court judgment did not point out the culpability of the first and second respondents, my opinion is; ...

KAPENGURIA SEVEN

REST IN PEACE FALLEN KAPENGURIA SEVEN. My deepest condolences to the bereft families of seven slain gallant, patriotic officers in Kapenguria. This is an article I wrote on the daily nation last year April last year. I have just read it again and I can’t help being remorseful. Police officers go through a lot.   It is sad that by trying to uphold the law, they paid with their dear lives. The officers resolve to remand in custody a man suspected of links with Alshabaab terror group, led to their encounter with the brutal gun Burrell. It is completely ridiculous and preposterous to blame the police officers for their own death and to concoct somehow a political narrative out of this unfortunate occurrence.    Of course the police know better that apart from protecting the lives of the masses, their own security is paramount. Even within the disciplined police service. Such isolated cases of disgraceful acts from rouge police officers will always occur. Radicali...

WHY IEBC MUST NOT RENEGE ON THE 48,000 VOTERS.

WHY IEBC SHOULD NOT RENEGE ON ELECTION RULES. Wafula   Chebukati, must be the most troubled man, sitting on such a hot seat that is the IEBC chair. I am intrigued by his meeting with the presidential aspirants yesterday and how the contenders are pushing him over the cliff to waver on laid down rules concerning presidential nominations. I don’t find any reason why a country like Kenya should register such a huge number of aspirants for the post of president. It is preposterous and laughable for IEBC to waste resources including all these twenty aspirants in the ballot paper. Even if having such an astronomical number of aspirants does not affect the cost of the ballot paper, it will definitely create a huge impact on the final tally of the presidential votes.   It will lead to lots of spoilt votes. The vast list of contenders will lead to confusion especially on illiterate and semi illiterate voters who have nobody to help them vote their preferred candidate. There...
