DESPITE THE IRONY OF A BILLIONAIRE CLAIMING TO BE A HUSTLER, CLASS POLITICS WILL SHAPE 2022 POLITICS.

Image
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...

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM A BIDEN ADMINISTRATION?

Image
  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 ...

TWO THINGS WE CAN LEARN FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP’S “LOSS”

Image
  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,...

HOW THE CORRUPTION WAR IS USED TO DIVERT PUBLIC ATTENTION FROM THE COVID-19 SCANDAL.

Image
  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...

HOW UHURU IS BETRAYING DP RUTO-NYAYO STYLE!

Image
Its no secret that the man from Sugoi wants to be President after Uhuru retires to Ichaweri in 2022. But the son of Jomo hates this fact. He hates the fact that the son of a peasant will succeed a high-born like him instead of another highborn, say Gideon Moi, whose father bulldozed his failed presidential bid back in 2002. So after all the PR bromance of 2013-17, Jomo's son has now bared his ugly fangs to try and scuttle the man's bid for high office and he is borrowing from the Nyayo School of Politics where he took correspondence classes from the comfort of his high-end home on Dennis Pritt road unlike DP Ruto who had to contend with the skullduggery of boarding. The Anti-Corruption War With spanner boys like DPP Hajj and DCI Kinoti, Uhuru has gone after people he would never have dared during his first term. All of a sudden, kamata kamata has become the real fad on Fridays all in the banner of fighting corruption. Most of the targetted people are believed to be ...

WESTGATE WAS A FALSE FLAG OP

Image
A court in Nairobi has ruled that three youths have a case to answer in connection with the Westgate terror attacks of 2013. The three are Ahmed Abdi, Liban Omar and Husein Mustafa. For one Adan Dheg, it was smiles of relief for him as the court freed him after ordering the DPP to drop all charges against him. Were these youth scapegoats for the Deep State or were they caught up in a bad place at the wrong time? Failed Coup Back in the Nyayo Terror days, false flag operations were used as an excuse to reign in on political rivals and dissidents. Remember the 1982 coup by the Kenya Air Force that lasted for 4 hours? It is said that James Kanyotu and his bad ass spies had infiltrated the coup plotters and hadset in motion plans to arrest them before they could launch their coup. Somehow, they were barred from accessing the airbase in Nanyuki and the coup was pushed forward ahead of time. What happened was described as a disaster. The coup was quickly crushed and Moi clamped d...

LUPITA NYONG'O'S DAD CONDITION STABLE

Image
Kisumu Governor is out of trouble, that is according to his doctors. The dear Professor who is serving his first term as Governor suffered health complications during the weekend while attending a function presided over by DP Ruto and other leaders. His aides rushed him to the Aga Khan Hospital before being airlifted to Nairobi for further treatment. It is not clear what is ailing the ODM governor who is also the first senator of Kisumu County and this is largely due to the strict privacy laws that are a feature of private hospitals that serve the well-to-do in society. Battled With Prostrate Cancer It should be noted that Nyong'o is the father to Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o who is making a mark in the glitz and glamour industry of Hollywood. He also underwent surgery to treat prostrate cancer in 2011and was declared fit afterwards. This is what he said about his battles with the disease in an interview with the Daily Nation, a publication of the Nation Media Gro...
