There you go.

Now the CJ has put a kibosh in RAO's plans to run to court yet again. He forgets that institutions are made up of Kenyans too and they are not going to destroy the country for him.

I hope he takes this as a sign to pivot away from this losing strategy. Surely he has more to offer Kenyans than a lose-lose proposition?

On the contrary I would suggest that 'these people' need to get over it and move on. Competitive politics is a wedge game and guess who is often the target of the wedge? The one with perceived power, be it political, economic or even demographic.

Does anyone remember Shikuku playing wedge politics with the Asians as target, something many of the present political generation supported and benefited from? Who still remembers Asians as the existential threat to the nation that we were told they were?

May I remind you that the most devastating wedge game ever played in Kenya was the fight for independence, led largely by 'these people'? How do you think the Bazungu felt?

I believe as the economic cake grows and benefits many more Kenyans, the value of 'these people" as a wedge will decline and then we shall look for another one.

Is Raila the "SICK MAN OF KENYA?"

HE HAS DRAGGED KENYA FOR SO LONG!!!!

I thought devolution would have solved that "wedge" issue now that every kenyan in every county has his share of "meat".

The wedge issue is not likely to end, seeing as it is mostly prompted either by envy, which fuels the sense of grievance against those who 'have,' or cold political calculation. No one wins power by bringing people together - don't believe that Uhuru hype. We shall simply replace one wedge for another, as we always have.

But there is an inherited political wedge phenomenon that is generational and is likely to end with this election, or the next one at most.

The new constitution created a group of political orphans who, owing to ego or sense of entitlement, can not compete for power at any but the national level. Their noise has kept many Kenyans attention focused on a neutered Presidency as the ultimate prize, even as it is increasingly clear that if you want power and resources, with less scrutiny to boot, the job to fight for is Governor.

Some of the orphans, like Karua and PK, have seen the light and swallowed their pride. Others like Baba, Mudavadi and Kalonzo have essentially painted themselves into a political corner, mostly owing to their own pride. These fellows are at least serving as an important lesson for a new crop of aspiring leaders.

I am willing to bet that most future Presidents of Kenya (if not all) will be past Governors and the Presidency will come to be seen as a retirement perk - a reward for good work - a position with much ceremony but little substance. Then the wedge will truly be devolved.

This post should be pinned.

It is true that a lot of us have yet to understand that this constitution was created for DEVOLUTION. Nothing else.

it's also clear that the current issues at hand are between those that want the past to continue fighting against what the constitution says. Devolve.

Case in point. The current on going ruling at the appeals court. For some reason the IEBC thought that power is centralised. The court has clearly stated that power is at the polling station.

So yes, your governor matters and your MCA. More than the plesident.

Can't believe you are trying to suggest that the presidency is neutered yet at the same time Jubilee is ready to do anything to retain it.

The president controls 75% of the budget, and remain's above the law. Even the DP is now a very powerful office with almost equal power to the president.

This post is just an attempt to hoodwink other people to move to the kiddy table and wait for chips while the grown ups are eating meat at the main table.

Why would RAO run for governor of some county yet he can control all of his party governors and their resources. PK and Martha are minor league-rs fighting for scraps left by UK.

Haiya.. ati 'Joshua' will regalise cham?? Woi, kwisha sisi

But baba was running for Homa Bay governor just the other day and he only quit the race after homabayans protested. That is how gluttonous the hyena is.
