Kenya: G-whatever falling apart….

from odhiambo okecth

First, they held their meetings to plot the usual staff- Raila Amolo Odinga, and some key members were conspicuously absent- without apologies.

Then, Uhuru ran back to Kanu, Kalost revamped his ODM to something new, and, Saitoti maintained that his name will be on the ballot at whatever cost. Eugene has never been a factor and seems like he is not coming to terms with reality.

The big blow to this G-something was one William Samoei Ruto. The chap is smart and having seen that he had no future at this G outfit, he started drifting away slowly and leisurely. He was last seen having some good time at Dunga Beach and the rest as they say is…history. The man bought all the fish in Kisumu…but do we say…

Now, if this outfit that was basically crafted to fight one man can disintegrate, then, that will be the Best Gift from God to Kenyans this coming Year. Even God knows, the team had nothing to offer Kenyans.

Their only gripe was one Raila Amolo Odinga. They had no Vision for Kenya, no Interest in Kenya, no Direction to take Kenya to. They did not even want a new Constitution. And the other good thing is, Kenyans were reading and calling their bluff.

As we bury all these Parties that are formed to fight Raila Amolo Odinga, let us unite as Kenyans to support Parties that have an Ideological Backing, Parties that have some Clear Vision for Kenya, not parties whose leaders come together to stop another deserving Kenyan from the Presidency.

Long Live the People of Kenya and let us Cross the Bridge together as One People under God with The Captain ahead.

Subject: Ruto making up to Raila ?

Owuor,

Why don’t we say that William Rutto is fully back in ODM. I mean, if saying that makes you, Omwenga, Maurice and the rest of ODM brigand FEEL HAPPY or makes it a New Years GIFT for you guys, I OBLIGE to that. But the question is this: Rutto asked of Raila two questions and I haven’t heard Raila’s reply yet. This just goes to show that you guys from the Lakeside behave like four year old who doesn’t have an ounce of political sense. My job is not to open your eyes about that.

The Kalenjin’s have moved on for all I know. They can’t be hoodwinked like 2007. They don’t have a problem with the Kibaki administration for all I know. They don’t have a problem with Uhuru Kenyatta or Kalonzo Musyoka for all I know. What I know is that they have a problem with Raila Odinga and they won’t vote for him come 2012.

I hear the likes of Omwenga say that the Kalenjin professinals are behind or support Raila. I haven’t heard any name(s) mentioned at all. Nameless individuals are bandied around and yet nobody can’t name names. What a lie!

Therefore, if Rutto is back in ODM (as you guys desperately WANT IT TO BE ), I wish him luck because his POLITICAL STAR with the rank and file Kalenjins is OVER! The typical Kalenjin mwananchi is so over with ODM that they can’t wait for the elections to come. And if Rutto is willing to dig an “early political grave”, he is WELCOME. Us in KANU are doing just fine. We know that we will be in the next government. Period.

So you guys in ODM can sing until you’re orange, that Rutto is back. Who cares? After all, Rutto won’t be in the final ballot come 2012. And even if he were in ODM, the Kalenjin’s won’t be with him. So I wonder what your excitment in ODM is. But anyway, you guys are so good at manufacturing excitements though. You are the masters of that.

Kibet,

The truth be told, Ruto is RAO’s man. You can call/describe RAO’s supporters in all manner of names. Ruto is in ODM damu kabisa.

Omwenga,

You always say that your views are progressive and yet you actions are no different than what Roger Ailes (the head of Fox News in America), has taught his journalists. Basically what they do at Fox News (Cable), is take a little of the truth and misrepresent it to fit into whatever agenda they have. They have no qualms about doing that on any given day.

You are no different with Fox News (Cable) because you take factual events, slant it and twist it to fit into an agenda you want. You don’t even put a disclaimer that you are slanting the facts because you want to ADVANCE Raila’s and ODM views in this fora.

There is nothing wrong for you to support Raila or ODM. It is your Constitutional and Civil Right to do that. But where you are wrong and intellectually dishonest, is take facts and add or omit some factual truth in what you put forth and call that the truth. That is why I never have respect for you. It is what they call “being unprofessional” in such professions as Law, Journalism ,etc.

This is what you said “…Five, Ruto went on record saying he is ready now to mend fences with Raila via his return to ODM and that says and means more than even the best spinners can spin.” This is not true and just a blatant lie. If anyone can check on the link below that I provided, Rutto never said such a thing. I care less for Rutto, but I care for what one said or what one is attributed to. How would Omwenga feel if something that he didn’t say, is attributed to him? He won’t like it. So why not extend the same courtesy to others or just simply state the facts and appear professional even if he is not or has ever been???? I am truly amazed with this abhorrent CONDUCT from Omwenga.

I have never cared for Rutto that much, but to take or add on something that he said or didn’t say, and ATTRIBUTE THAT TO HIM (Rutto), is VERY UNPROFESSIONAL, and CONDUCT UNBECOMING for someone who says he is a lawyer. That is having NO INTEGRITY on YOUR PERSON Omwenga!!!

For anyone to see what Rutto really said, just go to today’s Daily Nation and read his quotes, reported accurately by the newspaper,–www.nation.co.ke/News/politics/Ruto+calls+for+tolerance+between+rival+parties/-/1064/1297012/-/gsqre6/-/index.html

Are you guys that DESPERATE to have Rutto in ODM that you can even go to an extend of patently lying to what he said, when the truth is out there in the public sphere???

Whoever runs this forum needs to have a conversation with you guys in ODM, who twist the truth and LIE OUT RIGHTLY to try to make your points. It seems to me that this forum has become a dent of pimps and truth-twisters. It makes me sad to say that.

Five simple but pleasing facts about this latest development about Ruto:

One, Ruto did not go to Kisumu to rally support for his presidetial run, if he runs.

Two, its not the absence of trashing Raila on his own turf that matters given it would be moronic for anyone to do that and Ruto is no moron but it’s what he said that people here and elsewhere are predictably brushing aside as no big deal.

Three, it’s a big deal what Ruto said.

Four, it is now an open secret and will be more obvious soon that Ruto’s key allies, including many Kale professionals are themselves urging Ruto to head back to ODM.

Five, Ruto went on record saying he is ready now to mend fences with Raila via his return to ODM and that says and means more than even the best spinners can spin.

In other words, actions speak louder than any spin or words.

I doubt one will ever see Ruto saying, “My friend Raila; I am sorry I wronged you in lying about you and my efforts to derail your run for the presidency” but his actions or inactions will do all the apologizing even if he does not fully return to ODM.

Peace, Unity and Oh Politics, Politics!

Roz;

He was in his territory and had to speak the language which can be appreciated there. Even Raila would have to speak well of UK if he visited Gatundu or well of Ruto if he was in Eldoret North. Lets us not read too much in this porojo ya Ruto. It was meant for the audience, telling them what they want to hear.

Ruto calls for tolerance between rival parties

Eldoret North MP William Ruto says his differences with Prime Minister Raila Odinga should not result in animosity among their supporters.

“Our political differences should not result in violence. What is important is a Kenya that we are all proud to be part of, a country of peace and progress,” said Mr Ruto.
