Title: Deep state blocks Senators account - what an attack on democracy
Post by: RV Pundit on August 14, 2020, 10:35:47 AM
Uhuru is clearly unhinged.

https://www.the-star.co.ke/news/2020-08-13-senators-malala-linturi-accounts-frozen/

The Judiciary should declare laws made through such intimidation tactis null and void.

They need to sue the banks and state.

This only way to safeguard democracy.

Pundit, you tolerated even murder of people standing on the way of UhuRuto and now you are defending democracy?
There is no democracy in Kenya. With the ascendance of UhuRuto to power we killed any ambitions of have a democratic state in Kenya very soon. Just accept the situation you helped create and learn to live with it.

When was that. I think you confuse me with other people. I may explain why something happened but will never defend dictatorship.

Irony of it all is come 2022 , the same laws will be applied to the same people using them to settle political scores .
It will be interesting to see Matiangi , Murathe , Kibicho in the docks  and accounts being frozen  what goes around comes around .

What I have learnt of politics in Kenya is never expect the political class to fight each other once another camp take over SH. They always regroup. You should not be surprised to find Matiangi landing on Ruto's lap in case Ruto is president in 2022. Purging the old ruling class is out of question. You need these people's knowhow to remain on top.
Kibicho, Matiangi and Murathee are going nowhere no matter who becomes president.

Those are dispensable. Uhuru is one going nowhere. Those watu wa Mkono will be dealt with other watu wa mkono. The smart ones will join politics, elevate themselves and insulate themselves. Those that remain non-politician will be hanged.

  Usually in such cases , its the silent  minority who become influential and powerful  (The likes of Muthaura ,Kinyua ),l , That is if you are not in the big leagues .
Matiangi and Kibicho already know that they will never serve post 2022 and they are already throwing  themselves in the political ring . Murathe even doesnt care about politics , he will join his  friend Uhuru and continue where they left doing Nyama Choma and  Whisky , Murathes son DWG might try his chance and vie for M.P. post

I may support Ruto but I don't deny he is corrupt thief. I just think he has more positive than negatives...compared to his competitor.

I voted Sonko but don't approve his thuggery.

Kenya won't even last that long at this rate. They are busy building parks while  gutting the core of the nation and tinkering with its revenue sharing formula. The ecological side is not looking good either, runaway population, dwindling resources.

Judiciary need to flex its muscle but not without official political opposition, civil society and western envoys. Most of  the civil society Wambugu Ngunjiri or Aaron Ndumbi types are in bed with Raila "opposition". They want him to beat Ruto so they are playing blind and deaf. Ruto does not have Raila network in civil society. Usually civil society need tactical political leadership like Raila or even Imanyaras, Orengos, Muites - otherwise they retreat to their cocoons. It hard to rattle them without serious threat - like say extending PORK term - they must see retiring Uhuru as passing cloud. Basically so long us their "own" - activists, journalists, judges - are not in trouble they don't care much for purely political feuds. I hope when they attempt to replace Maraga with a lurky civil society will wake up before it's too late. Otherwise the rise of China has largely blunted envoy or donor power.

Uhuru is clearly unhinged.

If Pundit had such ideology - like I - he would back Raila or even Mdvd. Ruto is a Dubya conservative, small govt, African values and God- fearing, bla bla. Just another Moi wolf in sheep skin. Pundit real ideology is tribalism. :)

That said, I don't agree with Kadudu or GeeMail insinuations that Pundit is responsible for Uhuru lunacy. That a dogmatic stand. Damascus moments are intrinsic in democracy. If Raila wins and become a despot I would equally dump him. Slack I will cut a competitor will not work for an incumbent.

Kenyans are not fools.  Kenyans know this was an attempted coup by an arrogant,  super ambitious,  Vice President, which failed and not a national fight for democracy that Raila and his followers used to wage across the country. Why is Ruto fighting his boss? All he had to do was be patient, loyal, humble  and he would inherit ouru's empire without a fight. The notion that Ruto is fighting to increase the democratic space in Kenya is laughable.  That is why the civil society is not buying it.

Yes - activists are not bothered by purely political feuds and competition - which is what this really is. Ruto needs 5 years as kiongozi ya upinzani to get any credibility in the civil society. I foresee a temporary vacuum in activism if Luo become the regime.

But that's exactly the point. If Uhuru dismantles everything constitutional like he's doing, imagine Kenya if the DP inherits it. That is the main reason arrested senators does not bother most Kenyans. We've seen worse and they same senators were clapping. Moses Kuria is the poster boy of mad system cheerleaders. Raila is keen on a one-term Mandela like legacy so there is a chance he will do factory reset.

Seems like Maraga has also given up. NSIS must have dug up some shit on him. He is waiting for retirement queitly. It is all downhill now -hopefully corona gets Treasury broke asap and sober up Uhuru a bit; otherwise the shithole we are headed into in next 1 year.

The 'toa moi' generation of civil society got coopted into the government and those who remained outside got filthy rich from NGO boom lasting 2003-2014 when Uhuruto dried the taps due to ICC. This group is a lost cause or tired/retired.

Only twitter/Facebook guerrilas are at it and they are doing well.

Kenyans are bothered that is why the police had to disperse crowds after Malala was released

I see it as strictly 2022 dogfight. Ruto has Kikuyu slipping through his fingers. Notice how loudly silent Ichung'wa and Kuria are on the all-important formula. Uhuru is retiring - think he is quietly handing over tribal reins to PK. Bloke been gracing all the Atwoli-Murathe conclaves in the small Babylon at Ildamat.
