For those who dont understand kikuyu the phrase 'gucokia ruui mukaro' simply means returning the river to its course.Martha Karua's resignation is non other than the works of the Kikuyu elites who are increasingly wary of their inability to tame the iron lady perceived to be a 'spoiler' in the Kibaki succession plan.In my own opinion the kikuyu political elites would love to do anything to ensure that the presidency remains within the 'chania river' but im proud of one Wangare becoz for one her step whilst being viewed as a betrayer by Kibaki's inner circle will go a great way in cementing our unity as Kenyans,even if Karua does stand for presidency and fails i tell you she will have served a purpose of throwing Kibakis succession plans in to dissarray,for one Kalonzo will not stand as president and win even if supported by Uhuru if Karua runs for the same office(historically the community has always voted for their own),On the other hand should UK vie supported by Kalonzo,he will fail becoz Kenyans are unlikely to accept another successive president from the same community,so in short Karua has taken the presidency from the 'tight grip elites' and once more we shall learn to live together.LONG LIVE KENYA 'When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door,that we do not see the ones which open for us'.

Yes she has somehow thrown the succession plan open,UK could have been shoved down the throats of kenya same way Kibaki was. But my take is that the central-elites will try to paint Saitoti red and try to convince kenyans he is a maasai. What I can't tell is how their poor cousins meru & Embu will react. Will RAO wrestle them away from big brother. Tiny kalonzo offcourse will throw a tantrum and move off with his clan. I expect Ruto to make his move soon. I guess if you can't win with facts,you can always pen bile-laced,xenophobic rants to distract everyone.

NOT yet to understand Rutos game plan as for Karua yenyewe she has broken the hearts and jinxes of many! sk lady
