Moi did Kamotho and Saitoti first then followed later on Raila. Kamotho and Saitoti joined hands with their enemy Raila. Raila then did Nyachae a good one straight in his face by anouncing Kibaki Tosha a few minutes after concluding a meeting with Nyachae.
Earlier Kibaki Financers the Njenga Karume had abandoned Kibaki for Uhuru and were even saying the reason is because he is General Kigwoya only to join him once he became the President.
Uhuru did the same to ODM when he did an about turn and joined Kibaki in 2007 elections
Now the most funniest was 2013 Mudavadis mademoni debacle. Uhuru held Mudavadi till last minute of depositing coalition certificate as NIS had informed Uhuru that there was possibilty Mudavadi would appear Uhuru park for CORDS coalition signing.
Actually most people dont know but the name Jubilee Coalition was even Mudavadis idea. Now that you know these people are best friends.
Mudavadi after such betrayal was the first one to congratulate Uhuru and even appeared together with Uhuru and Ruto to celebrate the win.
I think amongst all the current heavyweight politicians Uhuru is the most cunning followed by Raila then Kalonzo.
Mudavadi is Naive (did Mistakes in 2002,2013 and 2017) and Ruto calculates very well.
When I see Uhuru laughing with NASA politicians and Gideon on the sideway , I find it funny.. If I was an advisor of the NASA politicians would read a riot letter to them.
But I guess after Friday BBI ruling its campaign stretch period. It will be no hilds barred na matusi will start flying. Uhuru might offer some CS and CAS slots here and there but it wont amount to anything.
Wanasiasa ni wakora sana. That is how they fool the public while working for their own selfish interest. Its an art that every good politician posses. These people you may even find them cracking jokes when they meet in their private clubs and gazebos.
The people I pity - Naive politicians like Raila - and secondly Naive Gov operatives like Matiangi-Kibicho - and then Naive Raia.
Ruto-Uhuru may even be doing all these soft passive aggressive war on purpose - and probably only the of them know the deal.
The Uhuru tells Matiangi-Kibicho finya hawa
while he already has a deal.
That is why in politics it is very important to invest in intelligence, counter-intelligences, have spies, double agents, and name them. Also assume the opposite of what they see - unless you can see how you both benefit. A selfless politician is dead...nobody does things for benefit of anybody except themselves
Fact is the following at Present Uhuru needs Raila as close as possible so that he can use him as political cover against Ruto and in the process loot alone. Secondly he needs to safeguard the loot after he leaves power. In that he needs to have an influence in the next regime or have a trustworthy person as President in next Govt. For now he has all the weapons in his hand.
Unfortunately by edging out Ruto durimg 2nd term it hit a nerve. That can be mended by cutting a deal.
Now by keeping Raila busy and maintaing him as a high profile contender in 2022 elections he is indirectly giving Ruto a through pass. He has made it too easy for Ruto to ascend to power. It could have been a battle if Raila had hamg up his boots as he had promised after his last bullet shot in 2017.
One thing you need to appreciate Uhuru and Ruto have worked together since 1999 with exception of 4 Months end of 2007 early 2008.
They were in hague together and won Presidency Thrice together so . Same way Kalonzo says he wont be Railas running mate amd we know 101% They will be together come Aug 2022.
