The name for it is "Creeping Coup".
Here is how Time Magazine reported the final stages of the Ethiopian one in 1974. Sometimes I hate myself for over-reading topics nobody is interested in until too late. I no longer mention the subject because when I blew the whistle, I was subjected to the worst form of pillory by the paid propagandists of KDF like "Obienga". Then I knew I had stumbled on something.
By the way they now control ALL the border exit and entry points - even the panya ones. They can lock Uhuru out of Nairobi if he were beyond Kenyatta University and Ruto can be prevented from accessing Nairobi if he happened to be in Eldoret. Lenku is their prisoner having accepted their "security" as is hapless Omamo who Karangi got Parliament to remove as his boss.
They can stop intelligence from reaching Uhuru - having appointed their own man to the job. They now want to get back the Police although they can emasculate it by amputating their communication which they gained control over through Chinese supplied jammers. The same jammer can disabled all mobile telephone communication in Kenya and the border areas of Uganda, TZ, Ethiopia and all of Somalia.
My friends asked me recently to say whether Uhuru is in this plan or is so foolish that the military is taking over power while treating him to tales of Raila this and Raila that. I asked them for their opinion instead. Their Verdict: The Drunkard has NO CLUE! Yet it is his power they are after.
