VICTORY TO THE UNDERDOGS



WHEN THE FAVORITES LOSE
On May third 2016, Leicester City fans sat tranquil and expectant at a pub in Leicester England. They were waiting for an epic victory in the history of football. Chelsea who were pausing a neck to neck competition for the trophy, were taking on Tottenham hot spurs, which too was eying the trophy. Any draw as it turned out to be 2-2 would give Leicester its first ever premier league trophy, because Tottenham had to beat Chelsea to prolong the competition. It came to pass, an underdog team rose from grass to grace. The team was elevated from second division to the premier league and surprisingly it came to taunt the big teams and lift the trophy.
2015- 2016 season which was their dramatic win, was actually their 111th season in the Premiership. It was their second consecutive appearance and they rewrote history. They lost only three games. Sometimes the favourites just cannot win. If Claudio Ranieri managed to lead his side to a surprise victory, opposition leader Raila Odinga can also lead the NASA coalition of parties to monumental victory in the upcoming elections.
The political altercation will change to be a new dawn for Kenya. Jubilee party might boast of an added advantage of home advantage in this derby, but just like the case of Leicester city Nasa is going to bag a brobdingnagian win in the first round. In fact there is not going to be a runoff.
The government has been obdurately using government machinery and state resources to gain unfair advantage over the opposition, but it is now evident their efforts are in vain. Hell is breaking loose on them. Just like the English premier leagues which exercise the rule of fair-play, if the presidential elections are held in a free and fair manner then Nasa is going to emerge victorious early in the morning.
Tuesday 8th august will be the last shot. Already NASA has beaten Jubilee in virtually everything. The entire steps jubilee made to advance their political mileage turned retrogressive. The worst was the presidential debate in which the president himself cried wolf to the media. Calling media names and falsely accusing media of taking sides with the opposition. Yet he ignorantly snubbed the debate which was a golden opportunity for him to confront his opponents with a rebuttal.
The rule of any game is that if you belittle or underestimate your opponent, then you are sure to lose. Manchester united, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool, Tottenham and Everton, down played Leicester City, who were starting off a new season in 2015 while getting over a previous season in which they struggled to stay in the league; and as you may have not anticipated Leicester won the premier league title. This Tuesday watch out for NASA.

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...
