On June 24th 2018 #Kenya Deputy #Dictator #WilliamSRuto announced eviction of squatters from #MauForest. Senatoemr Kipchumba Murkommen attended the public rally. As he says in this clip, it wasn't the first time he was informing the residents of the government plan to clear Mau pic.twitter.com/B06rbxponk

Senator Kipchumba Murkommen obviously & as usual dozed through the #WilliamSRuto rally (As he did in the Supreme Court); Because here (video) the Political Arsonist blames Raila & calls @UKenyatta a "Mukora" (I concur that Uhuru Kenyatta displays bandit-like tendencies). pic.twitter.com/S7MygoDUqa

The DC/Uhuru is doing a good job evicting the encroachers of the water catchment area especially on the Narok side of the the Mau. I wonder why murkconman and the other loudmouth kalenjin legislatures don't protest when their people get evicted from embobut forest.

If we can fence Kenya-Somalia border we can surely fence Mau..

May will be the end of Jubilee as we know it.
Cracks are widening. I doubt if Uhuru has the leadership to steer Jubilee from destruction. This Mau issue will spark big fight in rv - and Kikuyu diaspora ultimately will be on the receiving end - if the fallout continues.https://mobile.nation.co.ke/news/politics/Tuju--Mau-evictions-will-go-on-despite-protests-from-politicians/3126390-4676124-5tcvanz/index.html (https://mobile.nation.co.ke/news/politics/Tuju--Mau-evictions-will-go-on-despite-protests-from-politicians/3126390-4676124-5tcvanz/index.html)
May will be the end of Jubilee as we know it.
Rivers are drying downstream. All squatters should be evicted from Mau. Once evicted they can sue those who sold land to them. NGO should set up a tent city for these people or move them to Eldoret stadium.
Desperate pundit and his thieving kalenjins think they can use yesterday's tactics. Ruto is dead and burried. He can form alliance with kalonzo and wait for his arrest.
Uhuru is going to teach kalenjins a lesson. You keep on poking the best. Uhuru is Not kibaki.
Have seen Margaret or his sisters doing anything. They know what is about to go down
Ati uhuru will be fundraising for mungiki. Try your arrows shit now and uhuru will make sure that over 500,000 kales will be burried
Kalenjins cannot hold uhuru or Kenya hostage. This will be decisively realized soon. When I told you uhuru was after ruto you started talking shit. I am telling you keep on fucking with uhuru he will go for your mama and even if you evict kikuyus he will make sure the losses you will suffer will be immense. It will be to a point where you all be heading out of Kenya
Haha we are not buying fear go sell that to another tribe not kikuyus
Why did nearly 600K of fearless kikuyu ran from their homes in 2007. Kibaki was PORK wasn't he?Haha we are not buying fear go sell that to another tribe not kikuyus
I knew mau was a coded word that you will create fear to get your way..not this time around ..your uncivilized tribe will be brought to 21st century. Those kalenjin marathoners will be first casualties. Remember how sang died like a dog.
Wait you cannot win all wars.
Killing GEMA will not help Ruto - it would only solidify all RV diaspora against him including Kisii and Luhya. Like you say the warriors are unhinged. Murkomen's war cries are meaningless because there is no Raila to demonize. Kalenjin are already in Ruto column so he gains nothing. It's a silly move for Kalenjin to start war with Ruto running for PORK.
in 1850 - many knew better than you - in 21st century. In 2007 - you saw more than half million of your people kicked out in a week - despite Kibaki controlling all lever of power - and that was Raila war. Want to try a Ruto war - please don't.
The defeat of the Arabs created the "Nandi legend." The Nandi were undefeatable. Porters could not be hired and expeditions could not be launched into Nandi for nearly forty years. The Nandi warriors stood proudly aloof from the events that were swirling around them confident to defend their independence.
After considering several options, Major G. G. Cunningham decided to invade Nandi with a field force of 400 askari of the I, IV, V, IX URR, with a Maxim, 600 porters, and 800 followers from Kampala. The huge caravan attracted a lot of attention as it marched to Mumias. The local natives were awed by the spectacle that was arrayed against the Nandi. At Mumias on October 29, Cunningham was joined by Dr. Mackinnon. The total column consisted then consisted of five Europeans, seven native officers, 367 askari, 23 Baganda "drilled and disciplined" auxiliaries, and a few armed "Swahili" porters in the Maxim detachment. After Captain C.H. Sitwell's column arrived, the number of askari increased to 428. This was more than one third of the total regular troops available in the protectorate.Wait you cannot win all wars.
Blaa blaa and blaaa. Ruto will not be president and there will be no war.in 1850 - many knew better than you - in 21st century.

Pundit still thinks the stars are lined for Ruto, we can see they're not, would he scuttle them further? I doubt it, he's too clever. Starting war would be a big disadvantage for Ruto... with Raila and Uhuru on one side he loses the optics & propaganda hands down. In Mau alone it's easy to slice away Maa from him - Maa view Mau issue as a Kalenjin encroachment on their livelihood. On Mau Ruto has much more to lose politically than Uhuru or Raila. Already his image is that of a corrupt brinkman... Mau is a juicy bait he should resist by silencing idiots like Murkomen.
Told you this fool is acting on his own or being used to test the waters. Murkomen is Moses Kuria calibre of verbal diarrhea. Anyhow it seems Ruto will need a new party with Uhuru controlling Jubilee.

Yeap Ruto need to call for early Jubilee elections otherwise it appears the party is under Uhuru control. There are lots of PNU reminant of Kibaki regime who have slowly warmed their way back to power and those are the guys attacking Ruto ferociously. There is really no love lost btw them & Ruto - likes of Kibicho, Mbugua & such. Ruto has parliament..but it appears he is loosing the executive and the party to Uhuru. He need to start calling for elections to replace the interim officials - likes of Tuju & Murathe - or well start forming another party.Told you this fool is acting on his own or being used to test the waters. Murkomen is Moses Kuria calibre of verbal diarrhea. Anyhow it seems Ruto will need a new party with Uhuru controlling Jubilee.

Ruto needs to manage his image - stop opposing war on corruption via the Sudis, Murkomens and Duales - stop endless harambees which out him as corrupt. You can't convince Kenyans you're just generous with hard earned money which you miraculously made as a mere politician. Corruption is a big issue which will undermine him outside RV. Another way to lose Kenya is to start war against the diaspora. He has the most to lose.
Which kenyans are you talking about - the Big 5 tribes will pretend to care about issues but generally they have their own bosses. ISSUES never mattered in kenya - ask Kichwa - I took 15yrs schooling on that :).
Ruto has to concentrate on the small tribes and those one care about money, harambees and projects - and patronage (which is why Ruto has to be in Gov & Jubilee). Ruto has to try add to his Kalenjin core - another 15% - to make a realistic stab of power - before he negotiate with any of big 5. Obviously GEMA owes him big-time and he need to make them pay and therefore GEMA diaspora as hostage will be used. He has to play that smartly like he is doing. If he falls out with Uhuru - then he need to think about talking to Luhyas or Kambas - talking with Raila & Luos is waste of time because they want PORK as bad as Ruto want it.
Anyway I think Ruto has made significant headways in KAMATUSA, Somalis & related, he is cracking Bukusu and COAST. That should probably put him at 30-35%. He need to forget about GEMA for now...he should not appear desperate for their support....but should work on his own support base.
He also need to figure out what Uhuru game-plan really is and start a countering it early. If Uhuru buys into Raila constitutional ammendment - Ruto has to counter that by making sure it exclude Uhuru from taking either of new positions.As long as Uhuru is not running in any form - Ruto can beat any GEMA upstart, Raila and the rest - and Uhuru will have no option but to support Ruto. I don't think GEMA can trust a mercurial Raila or Luos. They simply cannot.Ruto needs to manage his image - stop opposing war on corruption via the Sudis, Murkomens and Duales - stop endless harambees which out him as corrupt. You can't convince Kenyans you're just generous with hard earned money which you miraculously made as a mere politician. Corruption is a big issue which will undermine him outside RV. Another way to lose Kenya is to start war against the diaspora. He has the most to lose.
My guess is Uhuru wants PM or something close where he can't be fired and has real power. While Raila or Ruto get PORK. He rightly doesn't trust Ruto to give him 50% GoK as PORK because Ruto has a big base like Raila. If Ruto was a hapless fool with Kalenjin only - like Kalonzo - Uhuru & GEMA would trust him. Noone trusts a cunning fox - which is what Ruto and Raila are.
Uhuru has to go home. That I think is not negotiable in kenyans minds. Term limit is term limit. He can become Chief Jubilee Supreme Leader and he can also pick DPORK for Ruto.
If he goes for PM - he'll need MPS and the hardwork of being in parliament - it simply won't work. The man has enough money from Mama Ngina and his own stash to be embarrassed in parliament by Babu Owinos. If he tries to remove the presidential term limit - he'll see the biggest revolution in kenya.
Basically Uhuru has to go through seven stages of accepting power loss in 2022. His best bet remain supreme/party leader of Jubilee (just to make him relevant), dpork of his own choice and MOU of 50-50 with Ruto.

Uhuru and GEMA's play is to ensure a split of power in non-GEMA with no clear supremo. Hence the Handshake and supporting Raila. It's a good calculation than naively supporting Ruto - that would be very foolish.
That can only work if Uhuru is planting to front a gema candidate -in which case the non-gema will easily rally around Ruto given Raila is really past his sell-by-date and has basically like GEMA betrayed everyone. Ruto squaring with Gema candidate would be easy stuff for Ruto.
So the way I see contrary to what you say - GEMA find themselves in unviable position if they are not ready for 2022 - Uhuru has term limit to contend with and there is no GEMA heir apparent who can be sold in 2022 - they were all destroyed in last election.
Do you get Peter Kenneth from the dustbin and try to make him win PORK against machine like Ruto & Raila? Will a new Kikuyu upstart even manage to unite GEMA - or RV Kikuyu diaspora-for own safety & Meru-Embu wing will go rogue & honour Ruto 2022 deal?Uhuru and GEMA's play is to ensure a split of power in non-GEMA with no clear supremo. Hence the Handshake and supporting Raila. It's a good calculation than naively supporting Ruto - that would be very foolish.
GEMA don't need a candidate in 2022 - that's a tall order after 35 years with present 20. Kalenjin at least have 20 year break since Moi. What they need is to scuttle non-GEMA play by Ruto by supporting Raila, Madvd, Joho, etc. That way Ruto needs them like they needed him in 2012.
2012 Ruto had his own party URP while Uhuru had GEMA. Uhuru should deny Ruto control of Jubilee and non-GEMA dominance. He has a full toolkit to do this with PORK and Raila. That way Ruto will be forced to deal a proper 50-50 likely with a puppet DPORK. Allowing Ruto full power now like you dream - and waiting to be Supreme Leader :) - is laughable stupidity. To quote you & Fred Douglas, power concedes nothing without a demand...
I think Uhuru is playing his cards well. Once the scramble is over, there'll be hugs & smiles at Jevanjee or KICC as Ruto's new party signs MOU with Jubilee :)... until 2028 when he throw them out in final term.That can only work if Uhuru is planting to front a gema candidate -in which case the non-gema will easily rally around Ruto given Raila is really past his sell-by-date and has basically like GEMA betrayed everyone. Ruto squaring with Gema candidate would be easy stuff for Ruto.

Sound complicated. Go slow on Uhuru. He is no musk. I think at end of the day the best deal for Uhuru is to remain Jubilee party leader than trying make Jubilee gema or kikuyu only party by splintering it. It would make sense to allow Ruto to bring on board even more tribes to Jubilee and be the supreme leader. At this point - Uhuru has done it all - he just need something to keep him busy and occuppied - something like "Obama foundation". I believe Ruto will be committed to 50-50 deal. Ruto is very reasonable and knows with GEMA behind him - he'll be able to transform Kenya - rather than fight. And GEMA DPORK will get a thro ball in 2033.GEMA don't need a candidate in 2022 - that's a tall order after 35 years with present 20. Kalenjin at least have 20 year break since Moi.

It beats me for anyone to seriously think that the DP is popular outside kalenjin Rift Valley. Some kyuks in central think he will protect Uhuru after he leaves office, how come Uhuru himself does not think he needs him? The Nyeri town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu who was an avid blogger on Mashada and Jukwa has scoffed.
Rightly so- If DP is so popular in the coast how come Jubilee won almost nothing at coast both in 2013 and 2017? Gov Joho this week already told him to stopwasting his time in pwani. Those like Aisha Jumwa are only after the gravey train.Sound complicated. Go slow on Uhuru. He is no musk.

We agree on most things except that Ruto is "trustworthy" and "committed to 50-50" without a political necessity. That's really naive. Why didn't Ruto dissolve URP and trust GEMA in 2012? Uhuru should and will retire but continued influence depends on how much Ruto needs him. Containing Ruto by supporting Raila, etc is in GEMA's interest.

Like I said before, Ruto is nothing without Ouru. The only thing still propping Ruto up is his money but that can only take him so far as new sources of looting are being closed. Sooner or later he will start being careful with his money. Ruto without money is a very polarizing figure whose appeal is confined to Kalenjin. Even some members of the Mt. Kenya tangatanga squad who used to follow him around are now being seen elsewhere. The Mau forest which he exploited against Raila not too long ago is not working anymore as more folks are now more educated about the science of environmental conservation. Ruto is being deflated like a big fat balloon right before our eyes. He is like a tire with a slow puncture.We agree on most things except that Ruto is "trustworthy" and "committed to 50-50" without a political necessity. That's really naive.

Once the scramble is over, there'll be hugs & smiles at Jevanjee or KICC as Ruto's new party signs MOU with Jubilee :)... until 2028 when he throw them out in final term.That can only work if Uhuru is planting to front a gema candidate -in which case the non-gema will easily rally around Ruto given Raila is really past his sell-by-date and has basically like GEMA betrayed everyone. Ruto squaring with Gema candidate would be easy stuff for Ruto.
So the way I see contrary to what you say - GEMA find themselves in unviable position if they are not ready for 2022 - Uhuru has term limit to contend with and there is no GEMA heir apparent who can be sold in 2022 - they were all destroyed in last election.
Do you get Peter Kenneth from the dustbin and try to make him win PORK against machine like Ruto & Raila? Will a new Kikuyu upstart even manage to unite GEMA - or RV Kikuyu diaspora-for own safety & Meru-Embu wing will go rogue & honour Ruto 2022 deal?Uhuru and GEMA's play is to ensure a split of power in non-GEMA with no clear supremo. Hence the Handshake and supporting Raila. It's a good calculation than naively supporting Ruto - that would be very foolish.
I think Ruto is smart and a hardworking politician but the problem is that he has opened too many battle fronts so early and quickly as if the election is being held tomorrow. Now with the current war with the kikuyu and maasai he is losing a lot of ground. Ruto needs to take thr advise that mutahi ngunyi gave him to take an hiatus from the tangatanga activities, lower the temperatures and let uhuru push the big four for a while. If he continues like this i think fatigue about him will start setting in countrywide.
Maasai (Narok) are just being dishonest. The Mau that kipsigis settled in Narok was sold to them by Maasais. Moi never allocated any Kipsigis Maasai Mau. Only Moi Kiptangich sit on Narok but rest of Mau that gov excissed was in Nakuru district. Now Maasai's Narok county decided one day to kill their forest and share it amongst the group ranches & individual. Those individuals have over 30 yrs proceeded to sell it to Kipsigis....
Maasai have destroyed their forest. Bomet part of Mau is intact - I live 200 meters from Mau and ours remain virgin - with people jealously protecting it. Kericho part of Mau is intact. Nandi, Baringo and name them part of Mau is intact. Nakuru part of Mau was last excised 30yrs ago to settle mainly ogiek.And while destroying Mau Maasai forest (trustland), Maasai have also destroyed their political future. Maasai can hoot and puff but at end of the day - they'll need kipsigis votes to win in Narok and therefore any anti-kipsigisi politician in Narok cannot go far.
The remaining part of Maasai Mau only exist because Maasai who have already been allocated those forest I have yet to decide to sell to Kipsigis. That forest need to be reverted to national gov like the rest of Mau - otherwise Mau Narok forest will be completely destroyed by Maasais...all the way from sogoo to olmekenyu to siera leone to deep in Narok North...Narok county have excised it and shared it amongst themselves.
After the kipsigis move in to those private land that appear as forest, proceed to cut trees, and settle down - Maasai who sold the forest start crying crocodile tears - and want people evicted without compensation.I think Ruto is smart and a hardworking politician but the problem is that he has opened too many battle fronts so early and quickly as if the election is being held tomorrow. Now with the current war with the kikuyu and maasai he is losing a lot of ground. Ruto needs to take thr advise that mutahi ngunyi gave him to take an hiatus from the tangatanga activities, lower the temperatures and let uhuru push the big four for a while.

How's Ruto's record of honesty on Mau?
Ruto was on course to solving this mau issue before the current mess. You see what Jubilee did btw 2013-2017 and then we can discuss. First Jubilee did away with all MAU IDPS in record time. We just created new ones. Ruto did this by giving each of them 400K - there was a camp near our home - and it disappeared. Then Ruto embarked on establishing a cut line and planting tea. One of my neighbour is manager of that project..and it was going well....that tea zone would finally end the debate of where the forest is and where it isn't. The current problem is on Maasai Mau forest - which is trustland under Narok County. They've made a mess out of this.How's Ruto's record of honesty on Mau?
Those are lovely details. But he used lies bout Mau to malign Raila pre-2012. He's getting a test of his own medicine. With Mau he can forget Maa vote.
Sammy mwaita former Mp of baringo isn't one of the people who allocated themselves forest land then sold it after ole ntutu commission established the forest line? Just asking don't know the mau history.
Desperate Ruto now claims there's a 'secretariat' well equipped to clip his wings. I think he's right :) kijana amechorewa. This as Uhuru met the Mois for a catch-up on finishing Ruto... rubbing it in after the Ruto visit embarrassment. Uhuru obviously cares only about Moi's not Ruto's debt. He owes Ruto nothing after paying him in cash and nusu PORK.
Talk of State House team to fight William Ruto could be last straw for Jubilee

Robina, on the clip on prime news, there was some audio when Uhuru was greeting Moi at his home.... that is before I guess the media was told to go away. It seemed like a surprise visit but also Uhuru looked like he had no agenda that took him there. I have to agree with you that the timing can only mean one thing - to inflict embarrassment and remind Ruto of his ONE big failure - his inability to access Mr. Moi's home :)
You post has another good point. Ruto was already paid his dues. Ouru owes him nothing. He only owes Nyayo. Ni hayo tuDesperate Ruto now claims there's a 'secretariat' well equipped to clip his wings. I think he's right :) kijana amechorewa.
