Lots of ethnic baiting but don't think kikuyus have stomach for another long drawn war - with their diaspora held as hostages - so they will honour the Mou - unless they have lost their mind.  The beneficiary of Uhuru & Ruto war - would be retired Raila coming back to contention.

Well you THINK wrong @Pundit! You obviously missed this recent memo:

In 2007/8 you were shooting arrows at our buttocks and testicles lakini roundi hii we will confront you ...

The beauty of this arrangement is only Kikuyus can be blackmailed. Do not mention Gema as Merus and Embus are out of this equation. The rest of Kenyans can watch from the sidelines.

It really easy.Uhuru holds the 2022 aces.He has two options.He can try the African way of somehow sticking around or do the honourable thing, retire and remain respected elder state man under gov payroll for the rest of his life.If he wants to stay longer...he has two options... continue actively as Jubilee party leader & possibly influence the choice of dpork & next cabinet or try amend the constitution to be PM.I don't think Uhuru is that desperate to demean himself with glorified Duale.If he is that desperate he would still do it under Jubilee.Any fallout with Ruto will permanently damage kikuyu-Kalenjin relationship and destabilize the region.Uhuru I don't see him being so desperate for some stupid role in parliament.In short when the times come Uhuru will pick his proxy as Dpork and Ruto as PORK.I don't see bitting the NASA bait.Both Kalonzo and Rails are desperate and Uhuru doesn't need to join the loonies having won two terms of pork and with their endless bottom.I believe Uhuru just want to live a proud legacy and he can go back to enjoying his private life.His orphans are going to get desperate as the prospect of change of guard from GEMA 20yrs hegemony gets closer.Those are the dangerous akin to Kenyatta snr change constitution but like Moi ascended to the thrones the stars are aligning to Ruto.His opponents are trying to trick Uhuru but the man is no fool.H

Many counties in rv have cosmopolitan settlements.Its not as luo-kalenjim border but we are talking from kitale to naivasha one village kikuyu next village kalenjin.This won't be one day war but long war of attrition. Kikuyus as minority migrant will pay the price for generations.In fact west of Nakuru I would simply sale land and move on.It will 92 again when kalenjin felt Kikuyus had crossed the line by not letting Moi rule for life like Kenyatta had done.Jubilee has reset the relationship and end of it would return a state of hostility...in era where kalenjin land pressure is incredible..after baby booms of 80s.
