THE EMERGENCE OF TUMBOCRACY.


A SPATE IN POLITICS OF THE STOMACH.

Tumbocracy is a fairly new term that has cropped up in the midst of stomach politics by politicians who have in one way or another found themselves between a rock and hard place after they were unexpectedly ousted from the Political center stage. Lamenting the money they lost in campaigns, they can't resist the temptation to jump ship in order to fill their hungry stomachs.

Some men are blessed with an undying spirit. Omar Hassan believes he can defeat Hassan Joho to become Mombasa governor in a repeat election. Try to think what our teachers taught us in form one geography. When you see an army of ants across the paths or a flock of birds high in the atmosphere then you know the rainy season is here.

 I think there are so many ways of defecting from NASA to Jubilee without you being noticed to be doing, "politics of the stomach" also known as "jodong aichism". Omar Hassan seems to have been traded at a fair price but he doesn't want to be honest like those other politicians who openly prioritize their stomachs to the will and need of the people. "I was feeling cold and lonely." Ha ha haaa.  Honestly what about the true devolution you've been clamouring for? What becomes of its fate? Poor hypocrites!

It is preposterous for a person who thinks himself a politician - a representative of the  people - to change his political stand at such a critical time when the country is heading to a repeat polls.  It is so shameful politicians tune their minds to their bellies at the expense of the common man. So much that they tell all manner of lame excuses. Mara oooh, Mara they stole my wife. Mara we are tired of being out of the government. How does it even make sense to claim your community is out of the government, when the government is for all and by all?

In Luopene lingo they are called, " jodong such" ; meaning they are those old guards who will not stop at anything so long as they find something for their belly. They engage in all manner of beaurucracy. The kind of Kamba elders purportedly hosted in statehouse to try and win sympathy votes.

Such demagogues are the people who sow the seed of tribalism, negative ethnicity and bureaucracy. The government does not belong to a community and when communities start to think they own the government then that is where the rain of tribalism starts to pour.

ELECTION LAW AMENDMENTS

WHY ELECTORAL AMENDMENTS ARE A RECIPE FOR CHAOS. I think these amendments to electoral laws are the ultimate recipe for war and violence. The laws open a legal conundrum which even lawyers cannot unlock. I see a situation in which more than one president will be announced winners if the elections are to be held. Come to think of it. If three commissioners with one acting as the chair can declare a President then the probability of Kenya declaring two presidents concurrently is more than half. It is obvious, the chairman can disappear in the like manner Chris Chege Msando disappeared. Shit do happens. If this happens and the vice assumes the powers of the chair to declare a candidate validly elected president or any other member then voila! If there is a law that will haunt the nation, it is these impromptu amendments. We can run and run from the fact of the matter; these amendments are engineered to create a conducive atmosphere and act as an incentive to rigging. After the ci

CHIEF JUSTICE IS ALSO THE HEAD OF A BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT.

CHIEF JUSTICE IS THE HEAD OF JUDICIARY. In the principles of separation of power, The President is not the head of government. He is the head of state. He heads one arm of the government called executive. The chief justice is the head of Judiciary (not attorney general). He is the president of the supreme Court - the highest court of the land. Then there is the Speaker, who is the head of parliament. Most of the times many have thought the attorney general heads the Judiciary but no. Attorney general's chief role is advising the president and parliament. He is an ex- officio member of parliament and also a member of the executive. He is part of the cabinet which forms the executive. Parliament, both Senate and Legislative assembly are charged with making laws. The executive implement those laws and other functions while Judiciary reserves the decision as to who has violated aIntern the laws and interpretes the law and the extent and impacts of those transgressions.

HOW ATTACKING YOUR OPPONENT WORKS AGAINST YOU

HOW JUBILEE CAMPAIGNS FOR NASA Duale has encouraged a majority of Kenyans to send money to pay bill  991444 and your ID number as the account number. It takes men of resolve to stand on the side of truth, democracy and burry the culture of bungling presidential elections. All first and second liberation was never on a silver splatter. The third liberation even if it does not come through Raila will be the most contested compared to the former two. A new Kenya is an expensive venture, Kenyans must be ready to go the extra mile.  Kenyans will brace every hardship to the confines of  their pockets. Remember Some people like Samantha Pendo who knew nothing about elections paid with their dear lives. Many people have paid the price with their blood, it can't be equated to sending ksh 10 free of charge courtesy of Safaricom. I pity majority leader Adan Duale, he thinks he can take on Raila as his equal in a duel but every time he speaks about Odinga, the latter gains lots of p
