Avana va Andimi,
The Prime Minister, His Deputies and Ministers have
been sworn in. A good thing.
However, we must remember that ODM now comes to the
most difficult part – to DELIVER.
And remember, Mwananchi can be very unforgiving if
they will not deliver. And ‘pnu’ knows this. ODM
should ask themselves;
‘What is it that ‘pnu’ can do to frustrate our ability
to deliver and how best can we counter this?’
Hon.Raila has been there before whe he was Minister of
Roads and Public Works. And the irony is that he will
now sit a floor above the Minister of Finance at
Treasury Building.
I noted Kibaki’s remark during the swearing in
ceremony:
‘Usifikiri wewe ni clever sana kuliko kila mtu. Kwani
unafikiri hawa watu hawajasoma? Hakuna clever!
Hakuna!’
Hear that?
I did not take that lightly.
Whom or what was he referring to? What is the import
of this remark?
I would like to gloss it over but it it keeps coming
back to haunt me.
Njonjo once said:
We can forgive, but we cannot forget.
ODM has the best Ministries that can enable them to
demonstrate how best their policies could work for the
country and its people.
I wish the ODM team all the best but they should
remember, a wolf is a wolf and can never be a tame dog
even though it may appear to be for a while; just
until the full moon rises after 7pm.
For those of you who are religiously inclined:
Remember when Nehemiah was rebuilding the walls of
Jerusalem, they did the work but had their weapons
strapped to their hips. the rebuilding was a good
thing but there were some people who were not happy
about the reconstruction.
It is not over, it is only beginning. From draughts to
Chess.

Sometime I have often been frustrated by how the 50:50 appointments are been done but I also know that Kikuyus are the only tribe in Kenya that are tribally inclined than any other tribe. You may disagree with me or not but if you look at it carefully, you can ask yourself why even in naming the new permanent secretaries, Bikaki has given the Kikuyus everything. Raila knows that it will be almost unheard of for a kikuyu to think that there are other tribes out there who deserve services to their people. Luckily, ODM will use their positions to entrench themselves ready for a new beginning and five years is not that long.
Lastly, I would argue that the most important reason why Kibaki had to share the spoils with ODM, is because he expects The IDPs especially from rift valley to be resettled and those are Kikuyus. But, he forgot that every position in the gonernment was suppose to be shared and as it is going now, the sharing is likely not to happen 50:50 which will make IDPs resettlement a tall order.
Kibaki, you share 50:50 with ODM, then your tribe can live anywhere they want failure to which Raila has nothing to do w/it and you should know that.
