When people get married they promise to live together till death do us part. Lakini inafikanga pahali when one has to say "wacha hii harusi ikae" especially kama your partner has no respect. Perepepepe maiyaya, harusi imevunjika!

Also watu wa kumi kumi are pretending that WSR was not a Vice President and got his choice of 50% of cabinet. Wote wameshakula miaka kumi. So now back to reset.

The biggest selling points for WSR in Mount Kenya is a mix of fear mongering i.e. what will happen to the Kikuyus in Rift Valley if Mount Kenya doesn't vote for WSR and a focus on trying to divide Mount Kenya based on economic state i.e. the poor versus the rich.

Fear and Guilt Tripping should not be a valid reason for electing someone to the high office of Presidency especially one who is likely to lead the country down a path of grand corruption and anti-meritocracy. The plight of the poor in Mount Kenya especially the alcoholism among the youth and the men & the fate of the agricultural industry are issues which can be solved by initiatives such as those led by Irungu Nyakera that have turned around the tea industry by getting rid of the KTDA cartels.

Apart from the obvious problematic issues with WSR such as corruption, PEV and such, for the sake of diversity we are better off getting a president from Western Kenya. That way all Kenyans can see that they have a stake in this republic. This Kikuyu-Kalenjin dominance is setting the stage for future instability such as in Burundi or Rwanda. It helps the narrative of politicians of endlessly complaining about the country now but the fact is that Kenya is a great country to live in and needs to be appreciated and protected as much as possible.

But we do need to get out of this personality driven political system by further entrenching devolution and decentralizing power to the counties. That is what Raila initiated with a call for "Majimboism" which in the old times was misconstrued by Kibaki supporters to be dividing and splitting up the country.

Now that majimboism finally came through as devolution the fears that a lot of people were sold in those days have not materialized. I have to be admit that I was one of the people who was fooled and coerced into fearing the word majimbo then.

Unfortunately we humans for the most part are like sheep and it's difficult to be an independent thinker. That's why the likes of a pyramid scheme like Gakuo investment were bought in by a lot of people, people love buying either into irrational hype and hope or irrational fear.

In my opinion, Raila is not perfect but he is the better of the two by far for the long term prospects of this country.

When I'm in good health, I have 50 wishes. When I'm sick, I have only one.

It is only in times of exceptional circumstances when you know who your real friends are. You cannot base your friendships on simply people who smile at you and wine and dine with you and tell you what you want to hear especially when they want something from you.

Even the cockerel thinks the farmer is his friend because every day the cockerel gets grain and water from him day after day after day. it's only on the last day when he finally realizes that he was being fattened for the slaughter.

Mlima Kenya's romance with UDA is like when your sister falls in love with a player. You know things will end up in tears but the player is a sweet talker and most charming. So all your pleas will fall on deaf ears. She will either learn the hard way when she is finally dumped or when she catches the guy red handed.

What I don't understand is how
1. People want to trust the future of their children with someone who grabbed a kid's playground
2. Mlima Kenya want to trust their future with someone who was taken to the ICC for the persecution of their brothers in RV
3. Someone who acquired the late Murumbi's farm from ADC as well as has stolen quite a bit of money from taxpayers in multiple scandals can be trusted with the country's treasury.

As much as Kenya is not perfect, it is possible to go from the frying pan into the fire, from Sam Nyamweya to Nick Mwenda, from Kenya to Burundi etc. At that time Kenyans would look back to Uhuru's time with big regret, that is IF the rest of us who care about the kind of country that we'll live in and leave to our kids allow this to happen.

hehehehehe

The fowl frowns at the cooking pot ignoring the knife that killed it....(another Igbo proverb). Mlima people should pinch their ears and rethink their dalliance with Ruto.

Mlima people need a solid political vehicle that will sponsor candidates for all elective posts apart from president post. This is the only way to checkmate Ruto huko mlimani.

This strong mlima political vehicle should then join Azimio and support Baba's government for prosperity. Don't get me wrong i am a bonafide mlima SOS who is really worried about the future of Kenya as a whole.

NB: The overused point/line that Baba is too old does not wash.

For some reason, this reminds me of Gakuo Investment Club. Let's see if the people will come back to their senses before then.
