Subject: Mau urgency is a ‘Wag the Dog’ prologue to Ruto’s Betrayal.
Fellow Followers,
There has to be an unusual way of looking at issues.
Politics is a dirty game. It is getting dirty by the hour and will get dirtier by the minute. Sample these:
1. Raila initially wanted the release of those arrested for violence after the stolen election. He in fact called them heroes. At this time they were on the same page with Ruto. They wanted these election theft bounties released. They reasoned, like they did regarding taking the election theft to the Kenyan courts, that the case would never be judged fairly, independently. The protests (and mostly violence) caused the National Accord Deal to be struck.
2. After the Waki envelope, Ruto feared that his name might be in the envelope. Raila changed tunes, perhaps realizing that The Hague Prosecutions would touch them and might require both of them to step aside, albeit temporarily. Fearing that Kalonzo would benefit as the temporary president, Raila pressed that those in the Waki envelope be tried locally. Local Tribunal would spare Kibaki since he is above the law, and therefore, it would also spare him because per the national accord, he is equal to Kibaki, the other principal.
3. With the envelope opened and the names in Ocampo’s radar, Kibaki and Raila have been unable to marshall support for Local Tribunal. At least, as of the time this analysis is being made. The cabinet is divided and time is running out. Something had to be done. Is this the execution of the plot against arap Ruto?
4. Ruto cries out for help. Some think he has threatened Raila. Ruto cries aloud, indeed we hear him but to the amnesic mind and ear, it sounds like blackmail. in 2008, it sounded like a hero.
5. Meanwhile Kibaki and Raila eat fish and ugali together, while drumming for support for conserving the Mau. Have they succeeded in wagging the dog?
Kenyatta betrayed Odinga then killed Mboya. Moi killed Ouko then betrayed Raila. Kibaki killed Mbai then stole victory from Raila. Kalonzo betrayed Raila.
Ruto and others stack by Raila when Mungiki, AP and regular police was butchering Luos. Raila say’s he is prepared to pay the price to save Mau.
My 10th great grandfather, Ragem sayest thus, “Jayadha…..cham kuon gowadu. N’gwech biro, to koth bende biro motin’go pee!” which translates thus “My Friend ….eat Ugali only with your Brethren, a storm is brewing, prepare to run!
But where?
I may be wrong, but I am honestly scared. Politics is a dirty game. The only gear needed is a strong heart. I have high cholesterol, high BP, and I am currently being fed high salt diet. I do not know about you, I hope you understand my condition. I too is prepared to pay the price, for cheRuto, my wife!

wuod Ndinya, wuod Onam, wuod Amolo, wuod Owuoth, wuod Oganyo, wuod Mumbe, wuod Odongo, wuod Olwande, wuod Adhaya, wuod Ojuodhi, wuod Ragem! (Are you my relative?)
Ruto has allowed himself to be confused by accepting Uhuru and
Kalonzo to be his political mentors.At the moment ,ruto feels that he can be saved by panu guys when he attacks raila openly.Why can’t ruto use his smart brain to know that the gema elites are using him to divide odm? Ruto should be vocal about establishment of new constitution which will allow Rift Valley and other regions to have their own jimbo. Majimbo constitution is the only saver of rift valley resources which gema elites are out grab for themelves.
For mau case,the mps from rift valley help raila to save the forest because the most beneficiaries will be the general population of rift valley.The kipsigis mps should learn to be honest and principled like other kalenjin sub tribes. Most of
kalenjin politicians have formed habit of doubt talking when
it comes to real politics.This was seen even during Towett
when he supported gema elites who wanted to deny moi leadership by changing the constitution. Ruto, being a kipsigis
who has settled in north rift,is behaving the same way like towett in 70s.Raila has tried to please the kipsigis all the time
but their mps are out to undermine pm.Many real odm follwers are still mourning the death of Kones who was a man of principle
among the kipsigis leaders.
If kalenjin mps are not careful,they are going to be used to destroy the party thinking that gema will welcome them warmly.
Initially,the gema elites will cheat them to be with them,but in the long run,the kalenjin will be isolated by other kenyans the
way Acholi of uganda found themselves.Therefore,before the
kalenjin decides to destroy the odm,you should think twice.This
time around,kikuyu clique will not leave leadership unless other
kenyans unite under one man who is raila at the moment.The clique has sworn not handle leadership to anybody the moi way.
The luos will never betray kalenjin at any cost if odm is still on.
The luos regard kalenjin as their brothers.
