Heaven

Kingspin are not crowned. They snatch power for themselves. Mt Kenya will wait till kingdom come.

Emerge from where

[gout]

There will not be a kingpin among kikuyus again with the economic ruin, hedonism and fierce competition. The elites fortunes will continue to dwindle as other other regions and their elites continue to tap their potential politically and economically. The dynastic upper middle class which has been feeding on tenders and government jobs since 1920 will also die off too gradually. Kamwene, Biggy G, Mungiki are kicks of a dead horse being flogged.

Pretentious middle middle class will sink into poverty, die off with bitterness as the economic devastation ravages. Picked lifestyle disease with no insurance covers, no family support, no bonds. Their childish taunts about tugege will catch up with them as they seek tugeges refuge. Menawhile they are a good cover for dead civil society and opposition. 

Hasoras will continue being pragmatic and will easily compete with Somalis as all over Kenya and Africa if the free visa Hasla is signing pays off. Their gentlemen pact with Hasla will pay off eventually. Very happy people amidst the doom.
