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.

A FEW PICKS ABOUT VALENTINE AND BROKEN HEARTS.

I have been following on Valentine's day heartbreaking escapades of what sacrifices guys made for the sake of love, and am left in a reality limbo. The question that rings in my mind is is if indeed love exists? A man braced himself for a two year jail term sentence for an offence which was perpetrated by his lover. Sadly the girl who stole from her father a good amount of money went ahead to incriminate her husband after they had agreed the husband would come in to stand in for his wife in prison. By the time the guy was released from incarceration his love had left him. In a separate incidence a lady boycotted their wedding, broke a relationship two days to the wedding, fled and eloped with a white German man. It happened that two days to the wedding, one of the brides maid called the groom who was far from the wedding venue, telling him the wedding was bound not to be. The groom got concerned,,travelled down south to interrogate the issue one on one. When he found the bride,...

MONEY MAKES MAN MAD

Money is the exact opposite of the Holy spirit. Money changes people. When a poor person finally gets money, the person changes like a snake that sheds it's exo-skeleton or like a caterpillar that becomes a butterfly or a moth. The moth can never remember it's Caterpillar life.  Wait! Almost everyone who was not borne in a flood of money. Some men immediately start to think, they can be sponsors or even to the extreme end, add onto themselves more wives and concubines. Some men all of a sudden fall out of love with the women who stood with them at their lowest height below poverty level.  The worse though are women. when a woman who had not known money comes to find good money in the palm of her hands. Immediately she compulsively feels, " I don't need a man. Where can I take a man. I am independent. I can pay my rent, buy any clothe I want, I can buy a car and do everything I want. No I don't need a man."  That is when a married woman stops ...

RAILA ODINGA THE PRESIDENT

RAILA ODINGA THE PRESIDENT. Kenyans knew in their hearts ever since 8/8/2017 Raila ODINGA and his running mate Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka won the presidential elections of 2017. The mendate Kenyans hopefully bestowed upon Raila and Kalonzo was usurped by Uhuruto in a Machiavellian way. In broad day light victory was stolen from NASA. The culture of stealing elections or electoral injustice dates back to 1960s when Kenya was a non democratic state. Sadly the Devil of electoral injustice is still lording over us to date. Yesterdays swearing in ceremony of Raila, not as the people's president but as the president of the republic of Kenya, which was snubbed by his own very running mate and co principles due to fear of death hence watering down its relevance has left many who had no idea of electoral injustice scratching their heads. Yesterday's national event, national because Kenyans came out in large numbers, almost 200 times the few Kenyans who attended Jubilee coronation cer...
