We created the Mlevi as TROJAN HORSE to power in 2002 and 2013.
So we cannot be that angry about our invention.
We just got "suprised" when he turned around to back Raila.
Yeah we expected he'd back anyone but Raila.
What has been "surprising" though is GEMA rejection of Uhuru betrayal.
Otherwise by now the arrows would be out.
Kalenjin we lost power in 2002 - and 1963 - came back 3yrs later in 1997- in 2002 - though we had Kirwa, Me and at least 1/3 of Kalenjin supporting kibaki
Indeed we know what power is - and how to get it.
Strategically after 2007 - it was obvious that Raila was never going to get power.
We regretted voting for him - precisely on 3rd January 2008 when he refused to come to Eldoret and swear himself PORK.
You dont negotiate with terrorist we had pinned on the wall - UN would have come and organized fresh elections.
Then we gave him another chance - with Minimum Irreducible power sharing - that demand Kibaki give Ruto VP - Raila PM - and key ministries split
I mean finance/security etc.
Of course after going to Sagana - it became very OBVIOUS to kalenjin that
Raila was HOPELESS MORON as far high stake power games are involved.We knew we had to make peace with Kikuyus - get our TROJAN HORSE Uhuru - our plan for power had suffered yet another 5yr setback
Once we had backed Uhuru - the rest of GEMA would fall for him like 2002.
Kikuyus were initially skeptical about getting power just after Kibaki - they were seriously giving it to MaDVDV complete with party UDF.
We told them dont worry - we will make it happen - we are now one - peace will prevail.
Trojan horse indeed delivered 50:50 - actually he was mostly drunk like we thought.
Ruto went to business - delivering - campaigning and running gov.
People around Mlevi were not happy. They told him look these Kalenjin are running everything; taking all the deals.
Ruto was making all the red telephone calls- Rotich was opening the coffers - Kalenjin were carting the money
like they are well earned reputation for raiding since time immemorial in Sudan.
Now for 2nd term - we knew Uhuru despite being gentleman could betray us.
We had two options -
1) We demand Putin-Medvedev deal - that would hard - Uhuru as PORK could simply switch Kalenjin for Kalonzo - and still win.
2) We demand URP+TNA be strong coupled - so any split or betrayal would be very hard.
As you are very aware even after Uhuru took over Jubilee party - the strong coupling with GEMA has seen them nearly all move to UDA>
What we heard today was rambling of a mlevi upon realizing he has NO PEOPLE
I LOOK BACK NO PEOPLE Blue water in Chebarbabr.
Bottom line; WATCH AS WE TAKE POWER - keep the notes! You may need it in the future - like 2050Pundito I know it's hard,sounds like a dream,you vote for a person 4 times,then he gives you the middle finger.Kalenjins thought they were punishing Raila,kumbe they were punishing themselves.Politics is not for the faint hearted indeed.I remember warning pundit in 2013,but you were Soo blinded with your hatred for Raila that you couldn't reason.You even opined that Uhuru would resign 3 months to the general election to pave way for Ruto.Kalenjins are now staring opposition for first time since independence.By the way who between Raila and Uhuru do you now hate most.hayo \tuu.
