We have heard a lot about the Kibaki camp, let’s flip the coin let’s find out more about the people who are apparently supposed to
“save Kenya “from the jaws of corruption and bad governance.
So let’s start with ODM, We can talk about ODM Kenya another day.Remember when Ruto, Mudavadi, Kalonzo and Raila were to attend a bonding
meeting in London ? Only Raila and Magara made it to the meeting. Ruto
and Mudavadi stayed out saying they had not applied for travel visas
while Kalonzo said that the meeting was planned to declare Raila Tosha.
So why did Ruto have a hard time getting the UK visa? Because he had a
case in court for grabbing forest land and then “selling” it to Kenya
Pipeline.Do you remember what Ruto and Ji ron go’s roles were in the 1990-1992
plunder of the economy in the name of YK ‘92?
What about our next VP Musalia Mudavadi? He is restricting his movement
to the borders of Kenya because he was involved in the Goldenberg. Only
Raila is traveling abroad to raise funds for the party since his mates
cannot travel to most countries in the EU, and the USA .
A few years ago Raila asked Mudavadi to come clean on the G’berg saying:
“Musalia and (President) Moi know the whole truth about Goldenberg and
they should come out clean. Mudavadi was the Finance minister in 1993.
He first paid out the Sh5.8 billion in export compensation and then the
Sh13.5 billion. I know what I am talking about. I stand for the truth
and the VP and the President should come out and prove me wrong.”
Mudavadi is yet to come clean on the same. One can’t help but wonder if
the watchdog in Railla has suddenly turned selectively blind. Clearly,
the western vote is more important than the integrity of his running
mate.
ODM Chairman Henry Kosgey was part of the team that brought in Dick Berg
to execute the 1997 “4th All African Games” looting. You may remember
this face:
Dick Berg, marketing consultant for the 4th All Africa Games in 1987,
who fled the country with Sh200 million even before the games had began.
The same Henry Kosgey brought down a number of parastatals and is well
known for milking Kenya National Assurance to death.
Read these news reports that shows how fast Raila ran to court to block
any action on him regarding the land that he received 5 days after NDP
joining Kanu. Raila paid 4M for 240 acres of prime land in Kisumu. That
is about sh16, 000 per acre! Land must surely be cheap in Kisumu!
Raila’s threats over the Ndung’u report are cheap rhetoric. This is not
the first and it will not be the last of hot air. Raila will breathe hot
air to maintain his opposition paragon of virtue image but deep down he
is just like the rest of our politicians.
Raila’s main strength is his mastery skill of telling the masses what
they want to hear and when they want to hear it. The problem is that
there are citizens in Kenya who will catch him when he contradicts
himself. Such citizens can tell the genuine from the fake.
This is what Raila told the masses in Rift Valley in regard to Moi’s
loot:
“I came to Moi’s aid when the Government wanted to take away his houses
and sue him over Goldenberg during my days as the Minister for Roads.
Moi should be grateful. I organized his first meeting with Kibaki at
State House. He should thank me by not attacking ODM unfairly”
Raila claimed that soon after taking office, President Kibaki’s
government had wanted to sue Moi over the Goldenberg scandal and even
throw him out of his Kabarnet Gardens residence but he objected.
“I was censured at the Cabinet meeting for fiercely defending Moi but as
then Minister for Public Works, I said Moi still deserved to retain his
Kabarnet Gardens home,” he said.
One doesn’t have to be a genius to see that the difference between ODM
and PNU in dealing with corruption doesn’t exist.
ODM should get a new campaign platform since they have no moral
authority to talk about recovering the loot when they have not handed
back to us what they stole.
One more thing, Kibaki has been accused of rewarding c ron ies who help
him politically. So how does one justify that Kenya needs a president,
prime minister, and an array of vice presidents among other positions?
This looks more like a reward scheme rather than a strategic leadership
plan.
The important thing here is that politicians want Kenyans to believe
that their wrong gs can be forgotten simply because they are in
opposition. Kibaki has been accused of associating with Moi for
political and economic gains.
Why did Mudavadi lose his Sabatia seat? He stuck with Moi even in
desperate times. Strange how he now accuses Moi of running down the
country while he sat high up in his government and watched over
Goldenberg as Finance minister.
.
And did you know that William Ruto almost lost Eldoret North to Reuben
Chesire of NARC?(unconfirmed sources say he rigged) Reason? He stuck
with “Mzee” to the bitter end. And now he has the wisdom to know that
Moi and Kibaki have run down the country and he’s poised to be Kenya ’s
prime Minister and bring about “genuine change” . I read Rift Valley
votes in Raila’s mind and again, not the integrity of his prime
minister.
Needless to say, there are many in ODM with a very tainted past and this
cannot be wished away simply because “Kenyans want change” if change
means the Rutos, Mudavadis, Kosgeys, Ntimamas and many other MPs who
always reinvent themselves every time there is an opportunity, then
Kenya does not need change for the sake of it, Kenya needs meaningful
change.
An ODM government would be a case of exit the dragon, enter the dragon.
There is no leadership vacuum; please REJECT THIEVES FROM WHICHEVER
SIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!We better think twice coz its better the Kibaki we know than the Raila we her about! Lets decide the destiny of our dear Kenya,lets go and vote!
Though my early endorsement of Barrack Obama is and was inconsequential, I still do take pride in the success of this young man who happens to be black. It is do or die in the remaining primaries in order for him to secure the Democratic Party nomination. All the math is working to his advantage making him the front runner but not inevitable. If he doesn’t end up the nominee ( God forbid), he will still be a winner to the millions (over 19 million) who have taken time to remind the political machines (Read: The Clinton Machine) and the dynasties (Bush and Clinton), that you can not stop a movement- No you Can’t!
