Conspiracy Files-Kenya

  I still maintain that Mike Sonko killed his own career and not the so-called “deep state” that has become part and parcel of our politics. The reasons are two-fold, one is his own personality and two is the Nairobi Metropolitan Services. Sonko is a man any ordinary person can relate to. He came from extreme poverty to make a fortune whatever the means and still make a name and a brand in politics. He was the only candidate to get more votes in 2013 and 2017 outside the two major presidential candidates, a record no other candidate has ever managed to beat until 2022. However, what makes him great is also his major Achilles heel. His trust issues saw him record phone calls and even put his superiors like the president on a full speaker at one time in a bid to stop demolitions. His bellicose nature has seen him engage in dramatic activities in the past like punching walls, insulting his opponents, and even engage in a fistfight with his predecessor Evans Kidero when he was on a...

  Looking back at January 2020 to now where we are less than six days into the New Year, many will find that this year was the moment where giants were felled and political systems took back control after being temporarily knocked out. The USA and Kenya provide good examples for this post. Donald Trump is finally on his way out despite his futile lawsuits trying to reverse the fact that the system he had outsmarted in 2016 had finally returned him the favor. The methods were dirty and unworthy but whoever said that in politics exists angels? Joe Biden is expected to be the 46 th POTUS on January 20 th while Trump retires to Mar-a-Lago to run his businesses. Many people will be in for a rude shock if they think that Biden will prosecute Trump for his supposed crimes because you can bet with your last coins that it will never happen. For all his faults, Trump managed to placate the “deep state” and as such, he is assured of an event-free retirement. Things will still be the same ...

  The arrest and detention of Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko is the culmination of a series of events that mark the beginning of the end of his political career and a successful run in Nairobi Politics. Ever since he was elected Governor, Sonko has been a man hell-bent on singing his own tune rather than that his masters from the Deep State had created for him to sing and dance along to. His attempts at trying to be an independent man have largely ended in failure and pundits predict that the deep state creation called the Nairobi Metropolitan Services would render him useless by 2022. Sonko would not win in such a situation he finds himself in. He had largely kept his sponsors at bay by refusing a Deputy given to him (Igathe) and a county secretary that had been assigned by his sponsors to purportedly work for him. When he thought that he was winning, NMS comes up and he cannot do anything but whine on Facebook about his cuckolding by the man he derisively calls “Saddam Hussein...

Deputy President William Ruto is a shrewd political operative and a man on a mission: State House 2022. He has shown the willingness to burn bridges and make new ones if it suits him in his quest to be the fifth occupant of the house on the hill. His latest move has been to rebrand himself as the defender of the hustlers-a common tag reserved for the downtrodden in society. The move has won him, admirers and detractors, alike, and they never fail to light up social media with their spats and witty insults. But here is the unpopular truth, the man does not qualify an inch to be a hustler. He was once like you and me but at the moment, he isn’t a hustler. Before you go, allow me to explain my view using Walter Chesang’s analysis of the matter published in the Standard (5-7-2019) Walter describes the journey Ruto took to be where he is right now, right from the moment he joined politics as a Youth For KANU activist back in 1990. He writes that the man has made a fortune from his 29 (Now...

  The countdown to the January 20 th, 2021 handover ceremony in Washington DC is ongoing as the current administration prepares to hand over to an incoming Biden Administration. Most of the elated people in America and all over the world ask, what can we expect from a Biden Government? Here’s the list. High Taxes A Biden government would reverse the Trump tax-cuts which have been criticized for being pro-wealthy and of no value to the middle and low-income working-class Americans. Corporations have had a field day cashing in on the lowered capital gains tax as well as the billionaires and millionaires who made a lot of money thanks to the tax cuts, whereas many were left out. The tax cuts also ballooned the deficit and you can see why Biden will have to increase taxes to cut this deficit. Strong Pro-Environment Policies President Trump never hid his disdain for climate change activists like Greta Thunberg and for treaties like the Paris Accord, which he withdrew from. The ...

  The USA election has come to a pulsating end with former Vice President Joe Biden winning enough electoral votes to become the 46 th President while President Donald Trump is still crying foul over “massive irregularities” in the polls with regards to mail-in ballots. If he will concede after exhausting all of his options is a matter of conjecture, but there are lessons we can take from his four-year run as USA President. Its’ better to stand alone President Trump was virtually alone ever since he announced his run for office five years ago while coming down his gold-laced escalator in Trump Tower, New York. His close friends and buddies shunned him and the Republican Party establishment never really warmed up to him as well as the media. Did he whimper and fade away? Hell No! President Trump fought on and managed not just to shock the Republican Establishment, but also shock the political and media establishment by winning the 2016 polls against all odds. Even as President,...

  Has anyone noticed how the curve has been going down ever since Dennis Okari aired his explosive piece on how well-connected people with close ties to State House have been profiting from the COVID-19 billions? Or how the corruption war has gained new life with the arrests of small fish like Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa and Migori Governor Okoth Obado and his family? If you have then you join the millions of people around Kenya who know how the government is desperate to make this storm go away no matter what. While we all know that corruption is part of the fabric of this country, the scale of this latest scandal has disgusted even those with blood on their hands, both friends and foe that some elites could scheme to embezzle funds meant to assist those affected by this Chinese virus. We have seen the reports of how politicians formed briefcase companies just to line their pockets with the COVID-19 relief funds in form of dubious tenders and kickback schemes that blew over 40 billio...
