Why MUSALIA MUDAVADI and WILLIAM RUTO should quit ODM!!

Wapenda Kenya Wenzangu:

This is classic Kenyan democracy in full action!! It is called ETHNIC BASED POLITICS where party, ideology and national vision are absolutely and completely of no consequence whatsoever. What matters is who the tribal kingpin fad of the moment is. For 2007, here are the major fad kings:

Kikuyuland -- Mwai Kibaki (PNU)

Luo Nyanza -- Raila Odinga (ODM)

Ukambani --- Kalonzo Musyoka (ODM-K)

Luhyaland -- Musalia Mudavadi????

Kalenjinland --- William Ruto????

Did you see and hear Raila making promises of personal "REWARDS" to Musalia Mudavadi and William Ruto for support? It is political speak for "their"drawing their tribes to to support him. Mudavadi for VP, Ruto for PM (non-existent just as in 2002). Raila did not promise handsome rewards to Luhyas, Kalenjins, Embus , Watu wa Pwani etc. The "I will reward each of you" promises smack so much of the MOU that Raila got from Kibaki in 2002. When all is said and done, the fake carrot will be off Raila's hand come January 2008 if by some chance Raila makes it over the hill after making use of their tribes as the proverbial toilet tissue.

Mr. Musalia Mudavadi and William Ruto should get out of ODM immediately and make their own runs for the presidency. This will complete the slate of 'NDOVU KUBWA' from the major tribes. Their presence in ODM makes it have a false illusion of a national outlook. Musalia and Ruto should stop letting their tribes get used as political tissue for Raila to clean himself all the way to State House.

Kenya is still waiting in abetted breath for real democracy. Look at the tribal lock step political scenarios below which have played themselves before our own eyes in just the last week: Charity Ngilu now supports Kalonzo Musyoka's run for the presidency!! Uhuru Kenyatta, even as Leader of the Opposition, on his turn now supports Kibaki. James Orengo in Ugenya is all for Raila Odinga. Where were these politicians yesterday? The reasons why each of them is making such turnarounds is obvious: SO THEY CAN SURVIVE THE IMPEDING TIDE IN THEIR TRIBAL AREAS. In Luo Nyanza anybody who hopes to be anything in 2008 is already towing the Raila line and must be in ODM. In Ukambani, the fad king is Kalonzo Musyoka, miss his ODM-Kenya bandwagon at your political peril. In Ugikuyu, anybody who will run against Kibaki will be swept off, all must be in the freshly minted PNU.

Na hio ni demokrasia ya Kenya yetu in the 21st century.

Health Minister Charity Ngilu has on Sunday declared support for ODM Kenya's presidential candidate Kalonzo Musyoka but on condition that Mwingi North MP unites with ODM's flag bearer Raila Odinga.

Speaking during a funds drive in her Kitui Central constituency, Ngilu said she would apply her 2002 magic that brought together president Kibaki and the late Wamalwa Kijana to unite Kalonzo and Raila.

The Health Minister also expressed shock at Uhuru Kenyatta's move to support president Kibaki's re-election.

"There are three serious presidential candidates in this year's general elections and I had planned to run but realized I would spoil chances for Kalonzo," said Ngilu.

She further said she had endured tribulations in the current leadership adding that the last straw was when retired president Moi said he will support Kibaki's re-election this year.

She said Kalonzo couldn't win the presidency on his own.

"ODM-Kenya's flag bearer Kalonzo is very good but he cannot win the presidency on his own and the only way is to unite with Langata MP and ODM presidential candidate in the initial ODM family," said the Kitui Central MP.

She suggested that Kalonzo should be the ODM family presidential candidate while Raila should be the vice-president adding that failure to unite will confine us to the opposition.'

The Minister singled out the rejection of National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), invitation of KANU MPs in government of national unity, sacking of ministers who opposed the referendum and her recent arrest and detention as some of the tribulations she had suffered.

"Ndinduu ndauwia maongu" (a friend does not cook bitter food for a friend) said Ngilu in Kamba dialect adding that the support of Kibaki re-election by leader of official opposition Uhuru Kenyatta was shocking.

She asked the Kitui Central electorate to give her permission to pursue her mission of uniting Kalonzo and Raila in the run up to the general elections pointing out that she had united a fragmented opposition in 2002 to end kanu's 24 year rule..

The harambee netted 421,410 shillings with Kitui central contituency development fund (CDF) giving 300,000 shillings while Ngilu gave a personal donation of 30,000 shillings.
