The activists cum politician whom unsuccessfully vied for Nairobi senatorial seat in the last general elections under the CORD umbrella has now turned his weapons against Raila calling him stupid And stipulating how Saba Saba will be a major failure.
Here's his statement:
The much hyped Saba Saba champagne revolution will be just that - a champagne revolution that will begin with Ex-premier Raila Amolo Odinga leaving his leafy Karen home to ride past Deputy President William Samoei Ruto's palatial Karen residence, to harangue the scam of earth with non-issues, in a filthy and dirt choked Nairobi city, overlooked by President Uhuru Kenyatta's imposing and majestic State House residence on the hill.
The revolution will end with a well fed but crestfallen Ex-premier Raila Amolo Odinga returning to the safety of his Karen home, having addressed the hungry crowds but having been unable to feed them on 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish as the Good Shepherd fed His crowds in Galilee some 735,000 days ago.
Hence, the 10-day ultimatum Ex-premier Raila Amolo Odinga gave President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta yesterday (June 27, 2014), demanding national dialogue or the ogre of Saba Saba will be loosed upon the nation, must be understood in the context of a man who took a bad joke, that he could blow a whistle to start a revolution, a bit too far - to the extremely foolish point of threatening to overthrow the Constitution by declaring Saba Saba a public holiday.
However, now, that reality has hit him square in the face that the Kenyan State is not a mushroom which he can whimsically and clownishly just pick up, cook, and serve to history on Saba Saba day, he is desperate to avoid his Waterloo event. By whatever means necessary, he must call up shamans to change the course of history and avoid imminent self-annihilation.
The President should let Ex-premier Raila Amolo Odinga cook his goose on Saba Saba Day. Let Saba Saba happen - and on the morning after, as the sun rises on the unchanged Republic, let it be a lesson to all those scarecrows out there, who are bent on wasting the people by seeking to hold the nation hostage.
Ex-premier Raila Amolo Odinga's aim is to re-assert himself in Cord and take back control in ODM. But that should not be done at the expense of the nation and its nascent institutions. We must spare no effort in implementing the Constitution. But if Cord thinks that we must operate outside our institutions of representative democracy, then let all their elected members resign and, then, we go for direct democracy through national dialogue mechanisms like constituent assemblies.
There is absolutely no questioning the fact that the Kikuyu and Kalejin Mafia in power (read, Jubilee Government) mean no good for the common man. Their agenda is to loot national coffers like never before, and pass policies and implement programmes geared towards creating a Kikiyu-Kalenjin hegemony which is anathema to the Republic of Kenya.
It is heart-rending that on the other hand, there is absolutely nothing different on offer from the Luo-Kamba-Luhyia Mafia seeking state power (read, the Cord opposition). They have no agenda for the common man. They seek their chance to loot the national coffers like never before, and pass policies and implement programmes geared towards creating a Luo-Kamba-Luhyia hegemony which is anathema to the Republic of Kenya.
The Republic cannot survive for long under the superintendence of the fraudulent and unpatriotic looting formations which falsely style themselves as the Jubilee and Cord political formations. The two - Jubilee and Cord - are the legs upon which the plague consuming the Republic stands and walks.
Just for a start, look at the top ten leaders in each looting formation, and tell me if they are not thieves themselves or sons of thieves who have laid bare the coffers of the Republic! Hence, why are we ordinary people fighting killing ourselves over these two formations? Or is it that you are better off being eaten by a hyena from your region because they will defecate your remains back home, and that way you will rest in peace with your ancestors?
Bure Kabisa!
