Well, as we mourn the fallen CS and a Soldier for Kenya, we must also underscore that life goes on for the rest of us.
We are at the peak of a charged political situation. Nkaissery himself was no stranger to active politics.

Ergo, it is only natural that we discuss and analyse our politics in the wake of his death.
So, who benefits – its anybody’s guess.
Here is one way of looking at it;

History shows us that most people’s stature in society usually spikes after death especially in the immediate after.
Those around him will try to cast their lot with him and associate even more closely with what he stood for.

If that holds, then Jubilee is likely to get a lil more votes from the Maa fraternity, since that is the direction the General was pulling at the time of his death.
To further leverage on that, Jubilee might want to nominate another Maasai to CS position in a timely manner, to fill the void left by Nkaissery.

In the interim, Matiang’i is holding forte in the ministry of interior. Kisii nation heart must be melting as a result! There is a likelihood that the basket of votes from them for Jubilee might grow somewhat –which might be crucial noting that every vote counts.

Politics by nature is very volatile. A day can indeed be a very long time in politics.

People are cold in this world. Nkaissery has passed on and people are already working out political arithmetic out of it !!!

@Njunge, Baba has released a full statement celebrating Nkaissery as a soldier and a hero. Lets allow his family to mourn.

That tweet by Mutahi Ngunyi perhaps is a blessing in disguise. The few who still take him seriously have a reason to pause and ask themselves a few questions.

But I am more disappointed by Pauline Njoroge. Everyone knows she is an insider and that comes with a very high degree of emotional intelligence.

She posted on her FB timeline news of Nkaissery's death. She followed it up with an explanation that it was not possible for the president to appoint a replacement. And then her suggestion ; That Uhuru should appoint one of the CSs preferably Matiangi to the docket. Barely 20 minutes later, the president does as she had predicted.

While it might have been sheer coincidence, one can't shake off the feeling that she grabbed the chance to let the world know that she is privy to the deliberations at the heart of power.

And that exposes the president. It is said Mbiyu Koinange would not sleep in the same room with anyone, not even his wife. He was afraid he might spill state secrets entrusted to him while in his sleep. That's how loyal he was to Jomo.

It's sad that we lost him, but suddenly he is a saint NO, remember the north Eastern massacre by KDF, the recent missing funds from the interior ministry? But also the good things the reduced Alshabab attacks the obritaration of the motorcycle gangsters that had become the norm etc.
I think mutahi's tweet is satirical of how Kenyans assume that a leader is not supposed to die 30 days to elections, if he dies it must be assassination.
BY THE WAY WHO IS THIS PAULINE NJOROGE?

With Nkaisery in that office, i felt safe.

Rest in Power General.

Only Lenku is left.. How sad.. RIP General Nkaissery
