WHY MUDAVADI IS NOW A FRUSTRATED MAN

When he quit ODM a few months ago, deputy prime minister Musalia Mudavadi was a man who apparently must have harbored high hopes. With both Uhuru Kenyatta and Wiliam Ruto then staring at the stark possibility of being barred from the race to State House, Mudavadi’s bet was certainly that he was the best candidate to steals the thunder from Prime Minister Raila Odinga. However, things seem to have changed so fast within such a short span of time. Justus Kizito, MP Shinyalu who is close ally of the Deputy Prime Minister never minces hiss words. He reveals, “We are aware of the tricks being employed and so is our leader (Mudavadi) let the so called powerful individual behind UDF know that we are not short of political ideas to advance our course.”

His sentiments are perhaps echoed by ODM nominated councilor Joseph Bukachi who is now allied to Mudavadi’s UDF party who says Uhuru insistence to contest for the presidency puts Mudavadi at crossroads and could render the Sabatia MP’s quest a mere pipe dream. “When Mudavadi left ODM he was sure that he would get the support of Uhuru among other leaders in his ambition to lead the country. But with the latest developments it would appear that  he was duped to leave his former party for the support that would never be,” says councilor.

Another reliable source confided to the Pilipili weekly that Uhuru who is The National Alliance (TNA) party leader is determined to be on the ballot paper come what may. It is this obstinate ground that has crippled the formula for “a formidable force” to face off with a ODM’s Raila Odinga.

“Uhuru believes that he is at the better position to succeed President Kibaki as he retires after the constitutional bound of ten years at the helm. Though he has a serious case of crimes against humanity at the ICC, his reasoning is that he will have higher bargaining if elected,” say the source who did not want his identity revealed. Mudavadi was widely viewed as the alternative candidate especially to central Kenya after Uhuru was charged by the ICC. Ruto who us equally facing the ICC has ambitions for the presidency. He has been steadfast moving across the country drumming up support for the URP party.

Political analyst Kipkoech Murkomen says the URP leader is strategizing his party for majority seats in the National Assembly as well as the Senate. He says if he achieves this feat, it will give him a super bargain in the two tiers of parliament especially when vetting cabinet and public appointments, passing constitutional bills and government business as well as impeaching the president.

SECRET POWERS RAILA GOT FROM HIS FATHER

Kenya’s prime minister Raila Amolo Odinga is a man who has had more downs than ups. And as the title of his biography, Raila Odinga; the Enigma of Kenyan politics suggests the man is truly an enigma and just when people thought he had written his political obituary, he managed to rise like the proverbial phoenix form the ashes baffling friend and foe alike.

More questions than answers are asked concerning this man, some of them include; How comes that Raila unlike other politicians was not finished by former President Moi? Why does the Luo community totally believe in him.? How did he manage to get back into power after many thought that Kibaki had finished the Jaramogis? Will he finally rule Kenya? Did he inherit secret powers from his late father, jaramogi Oginga Odinga?

A research carried by this newspaper over the prime minister Raila Odinga carries the legacy of his father, Jaramogi.

The constitutional amendment in parliament that created the posts of prime Minister and deputy premiers brings to mind the role of the family of the vice-president, Jaramogi Oginga.

Odinga, in shaping the country’s political destiny.

Until his death, Jaramogi a fearless and charismatic leader had put two presidents under intense political pressure, forcing them to make desparate constitutional changes.

And as if reading from his father’s political script, Raila has also put pressure on president Kibaki and forced him to make far reaching constitutional reforms.

High placed sources told this writer that when jaramogi was about to die, he called his son Raila and gave him secret powers of the Kenyan political chessboard. On top of that he nicknamed him Agwambo, which in essence means one who can slither under a rock when a situation demands and bear his fungs to attack at an opportune time. The late doyen of opposition politics also put his son under the Luo council of elders.

RAILA ODINGA’S SECRET WEAPON

It is no secret that the Luo have always been led by leaders with magical powers. Right through the days of heroes like Luanda Magere. In fact Wikipedia the online encyclopedia says of the late Jaramogi Oginga Odinga.

His (Oginga Odinga) efforts earned him admiration and recognition among the Luo, who revered him as Ker (spiritual leader) a position previously held by the fabled ancestral Luo chief, Ramogi Ajwang, who reigned 400 years before him. Vowing to uphold the ideals of Ramogi Ajwang, Odinga became known as Jaramogi (meaning son of Ramogi).

During Oginga Odinga’s long years away from politicis, the Luo believe that he was protected and kept alive only by his magical powers. One particular incident during the Moi era stands out. Wary of Jaramogi’s increasing political activities at the time in backing opposition to Moi’s government by insisting on the repel of the famous section2 (a) of the constitution which made Kenya a dejure one party state, government agents embarked on a mission to plant guns  on Odinga’s farm in Nyanza. the idea was for the guns to be later “is discovered” and used “evidence” that Oginga was planning an armed rebellion against the “democratically elected government of Kenya.” The mission was done in the dead of the night but the Luo believe that Oginga Odinga’s magical powers enabled him “to see” what was being planned. he is said to have woken up and confronted the government agents by simply asking them what they thought they were doing on his shamba.  

These magical powers, it is widely believed, were passed on to Jaramogi’s son, Raila Odinga. Indeed this belief spread to many other communities countrywide who voted for Raila in 2007. In late 2007 I meta Giriama man in Mombasa when when I was doing one of my many political surveys on the ground. He told me that he would vote for Odinga because he admired his magical powers which are the only thing that had kept him alive and

WHY KIKUYU BILLIONAIRES WANTED RAILA

Kenya’s political scene changes everyday. The elites know how to mutate. They are always the change. Knowing that new constitution is being implemented, hey have realized that their wealth is in danger. What will they do to protect it? What secrets do they know?

At the peak for the push for what was perceived as Kenya’s second liberation, Hon. Raila Odinga declared ‘Kibaki Tosha.’ The slogan brought Mwai Kibaki’s Narc to power – so Kenyans thought. Those who read City time s at the time know where Kenya is ending. Raila Odinga was on the move to be near power. If you want power, you must be close to those in power.

to get you informed, when Kenya became independent Mzee Jomo Kenyatta was the first Prime Minister. Macdonald Malcolm was Kenya’s governor at independence. He was to Kenyatta, what Kibaki is to Raila. Malcolm had more powers than Kenyatta. The only advantage Kenyatta had as the prime minister was the constitution process. he was the one charged to give Kenyans a constitution.

As Prime Minister, Kenyatta made sure that the constitution favoured him. He transferred all the powers to the president Mzee was sure, he was the one to occupy the seat. The Jaramogis were intelligently pushed to the opposition by the American and British intelligence. Constitution ensured that those who co-operated  with the British always ruled Kenya. The change of the independence constitution has overturned everything. Raila Odinga has finally brought the Luos close to power.

When the grand coalition government was formed, Raila became Kenya’s second prime minister. He was charged to give Kenyans a new constitution. ‘Agwambo’ made sure the constitution gave him an upper hand as far as the Kibaki succession is concerned (hope you read our last issue). The man has also worn the international community without which you can never win an election in Kenya. Have you ever asked yourself why Raila is always abroad?

According to secret files seen by this writer, all common wealth governments are the same. They are given by mother states. it is one secret Raila discovered.  Former attorney General Charles Mugane Njonjo is the one who marketed Riala in Europe moreso Britain. The international community fought for Raila to become Kenya’s second prime minister
