Red: So, ouruto needed an issue namely- "ICC" -to bring the tribes together? Now, if ICC brought Kalenjins and Kikuyus together, do you think another issue can bring them apart?. If an issue(s) can bring tribes apart/together then tell me, what is King?, is it the "tribe" or the Issue?. It appears to me that issues create tribal alliances/rivalry/enmity and not the other way round. This means that MOAS should be based on issues and not tribes. However, since the issues change and are more difficult to nail down, we fall for the easy explanation-TRIBE, because its is the low laying fruit explanation of all that ails Kenya- a constant and easy to blame/give credit to and manipulate. I call it intellectual laziness.
1. ICC brought two tribal blocs together, in its place we have incumbency. RVGEMA will vote them back almost to man to protect their power. Whether they benefit from it is another matter.
2. Tribe remains KING in Kenya no doubt. NASA is nothing but another tribal outfit. It is the perceived votes or control over their respective tribes that earned them those positions. Only Baba is relatively national meaning he has major appeal outside his kinsmen. Rutto was injected in as an attempt to chip off Kalenjins. So tribe was and still is a factor.
3. There's zero evidence of rigging in 2013. The numbers in parliament if nothing else tells it all, not to mention hordes of international observers. If you believe in Baba theories, then you probably subscribe to chemtrails nonsense.
4. I'd rate their performance at 5/6 in a scale of 1-10. Which means they will impress as well as piss off in equal measure, which means their performance is unlikely to affect their votes
The MOAS is a sensible prediction in my opinion.
