The hustler-dynasty debate is about oppressors vs oppressed. It is not about rich vs poor and no amount of diversionary scaremongering will make it so. A thread. 1/14

For 47 yrs a small clique of colonial nyapara has ring-fenced the state and accumulated more power and wealth than colonialists ever did. KCA sent Jomo Kenyatta to London to deliver a petition on land injustice. He bequeathed his family more land than any settler ever owned.

For decades, we have told this oligarchy that economic disenfranchisement of the majority is a time bomb, but as Upton Sinclair noted years ago, it is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on not understanding it.

Ten years ago, we enacted a new constitution and believed that we were finally on the road to true liberation. But no. The oligarchy is now dead set on restoring the colonial master-servant state that KANU preserved for 47 years. But they go further.

They have set about configuring the constitution to create a court of hereditary eating chiefs, thereby entrenching their political father Moi’s project of hereditary power. Musalia Mudavadi was plucked from obscurity to inherit his fathers seat.

He proceeded to drag Uhuru Kenyatta, an idler, from his drunken stupor and imposed him on KANU as his chosen successor. Raila was lured from the quest for electoral justice by the promise of restoration of the Odinga clan into the pantheon of ruling dynasties.

Now Uhuru seeks to “return the hand” by positioning the very lacklustre Gideon Moi to consolidate a Moi dynasty’s place in the court of eating chiefs.

Kenyans are not stupid. They know what the hustler dynasty discourse is not a class war between the rich and poor, it is a war between oppressors and oppressed, same war our forebears waged ever since colonialists imposed an illegitimate vampire state on free people.

Hustler-Dynasty class war is a war between genuine enterprise and predatory crony capitalist cartels. When Uhuru Kenyatta became Finance Minister just over a decade ago, we had a thriving competitive dairy industry with over 10 thriving competitors.
— David Ndii (@DavidNdii) January 18, 2021
What do we have now? A Kenyatta cartel. When Uhuru took over as president, farmers were paid Sh30-35 per kg, consumers were paying Sh60. Where are we now. Farmers are paid Sh20-25 take it or leaving, consumers are paying Sh120.
— David Ndii (@DavidNdii) January 18, 2021
What economic factors explain increase of processor margin three fold? Where is the competition authority? Captured, thats where. Have we not watched Keroche Breweries being crippled so that crony capitalist cartels can control the alcohol industry. Are the Karanja’s poor?
— David Ndii (@DavidNdii) January 18, 2021
Are we not watching the NCBA banking cartel being unrolled without shame? Are the Mungas, Mwangi and other indigenous bank entrepreneurs poor?
— David Ndii (@DavidNdii) January 18, 2021
Yes the hustler - dynasty debate is a class debate between the oppressors and oppressed and no amount of diversionary scaremongering will make it go away. We know who we are. We know how you are. We know where we are. We know where you are. Get off our necks. 14/14

Ndii has political intelligence of a door knob
@Termie,Ndii has political intelligence of a door knob
I think he takes things personally. Last campaign he had the right idea that Kenyans see tribe before everything else and even after. That must made him very unpopular in Central because he was fighting against their political hegemony. The irony is this position would make him a natural with BBI. I don’t think he is a hypocrite. But he lets personal differences interfere with his political judgment.
.... Ruto is next president with octogerian raila back to oppositionWhatcha talkin bout Willis? :o
...The scare mongers about consequences of being pariah nation got nowhere....
Jubilee improved its 2and term votes from 50 to 55% ,got more mps and were so popular that Raila boycotted the repeat elections..where Jubilee got 9m votes.Jubilee is now dead of course and we have new coalition the hustler nation.Uhuru legacy is now in trouble after edging out Ruto and bringing in Raila.Please own your mess.Ruto was proud of his term in office as coalition partner with Uhuru.That changed with Jubilee now a party and Ruto a mere DPORK. People can see dishonest Raila crew who were proclaiming Ruto out of gov and them in..now running from their mess.Please own the mess.Ruto everyone knows was edged out immediately after election therefore not responsible for jubilee incompetence and mess..jubilee 1.0 was already marked a period of great success.. unpredicented. There in lies Ruto and Raila difference..Ruto gets the job done...he is not just good with propaganda...The scare mongers about consequences of being pariah nation got nowhere....
Go nowhere? Really? Under the duo, Kenya is indebted to astronomical levels with very little to show for it - save for an unviable overpriced SGR. Nothing else but wanton plunder of the Nation resources. You went to school but tribalism has poisoned your DNA. Anytime you unzip, stop and think - dont pass it on. Please. This country yearns for solid achievement not propaganda and here you are praising those who spinners. SMDH.

Taking the cue from @KenyanPlato, I think, nay I know you have nailed it. In his formative years before he went to study for his Ph.D, Ndii and I - new kids on the block - were regulars sitting in meetings and committees. At UNEP he was guaranteed to clash with other meeting participants and frankly civility was restored after he left for his studies. He had this air about himself that he was better than others but not many in the audience were convinced, - he had zero skills in consensus building - so he would end up emotional and frustrated saying words or statements better not said in the heat of the moment. In short, he overrated himself.
He and Arap mashamba are a similar breed. People who seek the highest honors so that they can use that to shut everyone down in the room sababu wamesoma kuliko wote in the room. SMDH.
If Ndii really thinks this isn't a class war but an oppressor vs oppressed then how is a fellow who bought a 4WD dropping their child in school an oppressor? Swali tu!
Going by this narrative, Luos have been the most marginalized or oppressed since independence. The biggest beneficiary of crony capitalism and cartels is Ruto otherwise he would be selling rabbits somewhere in Kalenjinland. Ruto has been part and parcel of every oppressive government in Kenya and especially the Moi one. Raila has borne the most pain from the oppressors from no trial detention to election rigging. You do not need a PhD to dismantle these idiotic arguments as long as Ruto is the leader of that movement. If Raila was leading this so called hustler movement, it would have some credibility.
The more dynasties become afraid the more emboldened the hustlers
So who between dynasties and hustlers are oppressors and oppressed

Can I ask a question , Mt Kenyans have been labeled tribal since time memorial for always supporting one of their own. But alas when they decide to support Ruto (from another tribe) they are discouraged and reminded that their leader is Uhuru. This is the epitome of hypocrisy . The truth of the matter is Democracy is about majority have their way and minority their say. Mt Kenya is a big voting block and one way Raila and his team have been trying to subdue them is by labeling them tribal , it didnt work , when they decide to form alliances with other groups they are now being told support your own . This tactic will also not subdue them
BBI is the one talking about tribal politics , the rotational president politics . Hustler movement on the other hand is talking about empowerment , now which side all along have been playing deceitful politics?Ndii has political intelligence of a door knob

So he is like Miguna. I think his real beef is against Uhuru; a beef bordering on vendetta. That makes him take off character positions, including siding with the Ruto gang, just to be on the other side. His tweet rant is little more than grudge induced pablum.
I think so too (Ndii hates Kamwana so much, he'd probably support an Idi Amin to oust him). I'm very disappointed because I think his analysis of our economic problems is spot on. Just yesterday, I read of our struggle to pay off a 7.1 Trillion debt, worth 69% of our entire economy! :o Sheer madness. A crime of the highest order against our children. What I do not understand? How Ndii has magically forgotten that Ruto was part and parcel of this craziness. He's acting like Raila was involved when he warned against it the entire time. Raila has gotten involved when Kamwana has started to right the sinking ship with pathetic last-ditch efforts. Ruto was fully on board when they decided to sink it by loading it with unsustainable debt that would yield nothing.
:iagree: Spoken like 10 wise men who have lived 100 years in colonial and post-colonial Kenya! Very sober analysis. Arcadian_Dreamer, you are certainly not a dreamer but let us not leave it up to God. My hope is that the majority of Kenyans are like Kalonzo, not necessarily loud but when push gets to shove they will fight tooth and nail with an energy hitherto unknown to do what is right 8)I think so too (Ndii hates Kamwana so much, he'd probably support an Idi Amin to oust him).

Very disappointing. Ruto is status quo damu however much he brands himself as an outsider. If you want a root and branch uprooting of the vested political interests you have to go with tinga. It is no brainer. GEMA and Kalenjin hegemony are two sides of the same coin. Both are super corrupt and heartless. As long as the two lead Kenya, forget any progress. God help us.
Facts.Jubilee 1.0 borrowed mainly for SGR.jubilee 2.0 where Raila is key partner has borrowed more with absolutely nothing to showSo he is like Miguna.

At this rate if Ndii is not careful he will trigger a class warfare in kwinya. Middle class only buffer left.
Ndii can't trigger shit. He thinks poor people are not rational beings. There is no way to solve poor people problems through class warfare. Kenya actually is spending more on poor than ever before. Education is universally funded. Higher education is funded based on needs. What is lacking of momentum to modernize economy to make it more dynamic. Otherwise exploitation of poor us less now than it has ever been. Even ruto is just baffling once he gets elected next year he will have to focus or lose the support quickly. Uhuru term is over. Time for theories is over. Ruto is next president with octogerian raila back to opposition

Lets talk about SGR , yes Uhuru with Rutos help got SGR built and fuctional during his first term , now tell us what Uhuru with Railas help has gotten in his second term
All these inshas are a waste of time. Kenyans have never voted on development or idiology. I will save you a lot of time, energy and pain and let you know that Ruto is not becoming president of Kenya in 2022.
unlike you I have never changed or used alternate moniker all my online life..why would I do thatLets talk about SGR , yes Uhuru with Rutos help got SGR built and fuctional during his first term , now tell us what Uhuru with Railas help has gotten in his second term
Skiza Pundit, don't hide behind alternate profiles we know who you are. Uhuruto didn't build shit, the Chinese did, they conceived it, financed it, designed it, the whole hog, all these two remedial thugs did was pen their signature to a contract the CCP drew up giving away their country's sovereignty. Nothing to brag about, eti he built SGR. There was no money in the second term, it was all used up during the first mainly looting by Ruto.
Presidency is not given..its taken.Who is deep state?Name 5 of its members.All these inshas are a waste of time. Kenyans have never voted on development or idiology. I will save you a lot of time, energy and pain and let you know that Ruto is not becoming president of Kenya in 2022.
Yep. Deep state is dead set against his presidency. He is an international pariah to boot. He is done, he knows it.
All these inshas are a waste of time. Kenyans have never voted on development or idiology. I will save you a lot of time, energy and pain and let you know that Ruto is not becoming president of Kenya in 2022.Who are you...mere truck driver in Boston..a forner tout from Limuru.Ruto is winning big because he has the numbers and national support...the tribal maths favour him.
But he is saying the truth. Arap Mashamba is rattling even those who didn't give a fuck and would have looked the other way. They will now stick their necks out like Kalonzo did and make it their priority to ensure this guy never sees the inside of state house.All these inshas are a waste of time.

You ask who F&B is? Well he is Kenyan by birth just like you. You are not superior to him in any way.
Call me all the names you want, it does not change the fact that Ruto is not going to lead Kenya. He can threaten to unleash mayhem on the country, it’s not going to work. So far, he is the only one campaigning, he has a loud boda boda type running all over the place. The silent majority and the powers that be in the world are not sold on him. I do not need to make long convoluted arguments, It’s a total waste of time. I am not in any way implying that he is not going to be influential in Kenyan politics, he has a wide following and there is value to that but presidency, he is not going anywhere near state house.

No apologies. @WilliamsRuto has adopted a transformation agenda I believe in. He has corruption baggage. Raila Uhuru and rest also have corruption baggage, and no agenda for the country—just power.
