Kericho are lucky to have such a leader

[RV Pundit]

[patel]

Biggest differentiator between this guys and the rest is education and resource utilization. I envy his simple lifestyle but where is his family?

[RV Pundit]

Yes the more educated; the more they wont pursue wealth accumulation. Prof Chepkwony is well liked in Kericho because he avoid controversy and drama...and though some of his CS are very corrupt...he is clean.
Dr Joyce Laboso - was also good - like Dr Barchok.

The worse idiot is Isaac Ruto.

Kericho will likely elect Charles Keter - Keter is also well liked because he is development conscious - he will win by same margins.

The senator cheruiyot would have challenged him but look like he was paid off.

Bomet - Isaac has 50 percent chance of coming to loot it again. But its very likely UDA will carry the day...in all seats

[Pragmatic]

Smart fellow.... has done a good job! Deserves better, gives hope that we really/actually do have people with an agenda and a desire to serve and change the state of things.

Now imagine the mess that it will be with Keter. Nowhere near as imaginative or transformative, he will simply be looking at what is there to steal.

[RV Pundit]

Keter has transformed his Belgut - everyone there has electricity - and water coverage is very high - that is why he is very liked - this from his days as MP - and now tarmac basically criss cross the constituency - it just as good as Kiambu - and so is Bureti.

Kericho politics unlike Bomet is very peaceful - the people very peaceful. Bomet has too much Gusii quarrelsome blood especially huko Bomet East and Chepalungu. It's not really kalenjin peaceful gene...unless there is war....kalenjin are very calm and sober people...and hate political gangsterism. Isaac Ruto, Salat, Kipkalyia Kones and Sossion - that kind of militancy is Gusii imported culture.

Keter is popular because he has always delivered. Bila fujo. Bila Kelele.

With Ruto at statehouse - I believe they both can transform Kericho into a big city - first plan is to take back at least 500 to 1,000 acres from the tea plantation and expand the town.

Just a single phone call from Ruto - and tea plantation will give up that land - they know WSR hapana cheza na watu.

The good thing with Kericho if you work for the people; they will elect you almost unopposed.
Ngeny - was elected almost unopposed - for employing folks from almost every family to posta/telkom - but he was such a poor politician he was told not to even bother standing again
Same with Noah Too - he also hired lots of police/cid - 2nd term disaster as mp.
Charles Keter has consistently delivered.
Now Gen Koech was complete opposite - never hired anyone and never participated in local development - he tried to run several times and he would come last.

Prof Chepkowny was elected with 96 percent in re-election because 1st term he delivered.

Keter is going to win with similar margins - in fact anybody wasting time campaigning for kericho governor should know better.

As long as Keter is coming for it - dont bother. The same with senate - everyone happy with young bull. It doesnt matter that Senator is Charles Nephew and they come from same village.

[Pragmatic]

I thought the young bull wants to vie for Governor. Like he is ready to wrestle with his uncle. 

You know Keter was dilly-dallying with Gedion when the heat was on that they will be reshuffled.

Charles I heard paid him off; It was going to be some contest; people also like Kiptoiyot but they respect Charles more. Yes I think at some point he might have hidden under Gideon but him and WSR come a long way..I doubt they will part ways over such. Ruto basically told everyone to survive the mlevi witchhunt the best way they know.

[Pragmatic]

Yeah, yeah.... it was survival period and obviously Gedion got off with some ransom, underhand deals signed off at Energy. Never for free...

Yes since 1990s - Gideon is very smooth wheeler dealer - very dangerous. That is how he rescued the Mois from Biwott and Kulei chokehold. Daniel Moi was too trusting and nice - his two twin sons - Philiph and Gideon are VERY BAD NEWS. Its like the Uhurus - very dangerous and smooth corrupt blue-eyed boys. Only Ruto knows them inside out - and knows how to beat them in their game. Gideon-Uhuru has sophisticated international network for money laundering their deals.

I really pity Jakom - when I see him trusting Gideon and Uhuru . It better to trust late Daniel Moi. These two are later day Biwotts - running very sophisticated international network with wazungus...leaving almost no trace of their thievery.

Except now we got into digital world and hackers are unravelling their byzantine money networks.

The typical kenyan corrupt politician will rush to register a company in kenya - named Katumani or something - and go do big deals in kenya - and it takes an afternoon to uncover their tracks. The Gideon and Uhurus register a complex web - before they make the phone call for a contract to be awarded to some foreign sounding company or you get fired - only that it's their own.

I am just saying it naive to trust Uhuru and Gideon - ostensibly because they hate Ruto for corruption. Jakom is very corrupt. But politicaly he is very naive - that is why young Ruto will take PORK.

Corruption in kenya is simple = POLITICAL POWER. Its the power to make the powerful call in the Moi's red telephone. Its the power to become kenya chief procurement officer - kenya chief HR - and name it.

Now if someone like Uhuru or Gideon tell me - they hate Ruto - because he is corrupt. Then I find you guys swallowing hook, line and sinker I laugh.

I still insist the last thing Uhuru will do - knowing power is gone anyway - is to make peace with Ruto. If Raila looks like winning. They will play 50-50 because they know they will go into a period of dryness - just protecting their wealth. Uhuru basically has few more months to loot - and the deals will dry up - whether Ruto or Raila win - the red telephone is going to end with either of them.

This fake war is just a war to move Ruto cheese from the table. Uhuru rationalize that Ruto will have looting chance in the future.

But many naive folks have been told - ohoo uhuru kenyatta hate corruption - and Ruto is corrupt Show me anybody more corrupt than Mois and Kenyattas.

[Pragmatic]

BTW: when Uhuru says he is ready for the Pandora box to be open so that those with unexplained wealth can say how they got it, he is targeting your boy WsR.

But WsR got some smarts on them though... most of the local loot he gets he diverted into assets like shambas, hotels, choppers and other things he bought. The loot outside is stashed with/through his confidants/proxies like Dr. Muge in London. Most of the KPC loot from the Lebanese Zakhem, the loot from Power sector and the Aror/Kimwarer heist is stashed with Muge in the UK. If there was to be any fall-out, Muge will walk away with a lot of loot. Much like Jimmy Wanjigi diverted a lot of Saitoti loot and Kulei a bucketful of Moi loot.

Again your naivety shows. Basically he is buying time to see how far the hackers got. Kenyatta will never open a pandora box. It's like starting a war where all of them lose.

This like his many previous threat; is EMPTY THREAT; to scare Ruto people to keep quiet.

The day a kenyatta commit to wealth review wake me up. They will never.

The point is simple - you guys need a PLAN B - like Ruto is busy working on his own plan - otherwise Mutalia sana

Where is legal framework for lifestyle audit? Who will do the audit? Will it be voluntary. That is just hot air.

Again like BBI - I am helping you.

You better have you plan B when Uhuru shake hands with Ruto and fold his almost dead camp.

Raila is dependent on Uhuru now - if Uhuru pulls his troops - he is DEAD.

Ruto is facing Uhuru man to man. Raila is not even in the picture.

Umeskia sijui catholic church talks my friend; those are the motions.

Do you see Uhuru folks slowly moving to UDA or away from Jubilee to individual parties.

You guys are very naive. I will be here to laugh.

Robina has gone underground. Coz I warned her that BBI ni open game - time wasting and deliberate own goals- that is NOT the hallmark of a team that want to win. That is sign of MATCH FIXING - someone has been paid for the team to lose - while he is pretending running the field and sweating & diarhoeing  like a bull digging land - then on critical times - he let the other team score or score himself an own goal - and go to collect a big cheque.

By mid next year I will be alone here.

Uhuru laundering is not his own set up this has been in place since Jomo Kenyatta days. When kenyatta knew that he could one day be dead or overthrown and leave his wife and kids destitute he opened accounts in Switzerland.

If you read Kroll report you will see moi was using Indians and but his key guys were mossad type of characters.

My own thinking is that these two guys just inherited their family well established laundering networks. Screwball is not any lethal he is just a spoilt kid. Gedion is a mean guy and I doubt he even has good relations with his siblings. The guy should just quit active politics and just be behind the scenes wheel dealer

 

[RV Pundit]

Gideon and Philiph started building their own wealth in 90s - outside of their father stable - and engaged in everything that could bring big money - guns, drugs, cigarettes, corruption - and Uhuru also started waking up from depending on stipend from Mama Ngina and his bro - and making his own cash - in the late 90s. From 2008 as finance minister - he definitely made more money for himself and family - while pretending like Jakom - to be non-corrupt.

For someone like Ruto - he doesnt hide his wealth - being born into poverty - he flaunt it - the Gideons and Uhurus dont.

Of course Raila is dependent on Ouru now, just like Ouru was dependent on Ruto and like Kibaki was dependent of Raila.  Thats how politics works.  There is always a Kingmaker in politics because one cannot make himself king as Ruto is trying to do.  Ruto and Ouru has no hope of shaking hands. He needs to look for his own kingmaker.  Even Biden had a Kingmaker in the name of James Clayburn.  Ruto now is his own kingmaker.  Lets see how that works out for him. He needs a towering figure in Mt. Kenya, or any other voter-rich regions to vouch for him.  So far he has nada. All he has are hangers-on whom he bought.  You need independent minded strong leaders who owe you nothing to come to your side and support you.  Those are the qualities of a true leader.
