I hope all kids are fast asleep now. Let's talk grown up.
Back in 1997 my Mzungu neighbor's Zambian wife went to town on a friday met a Nigerian with a very long dick and only returned home a few days later when the husband threatened to report her missing and start the process of declaring her dead.
Her "return" like that of the Prime Minister's wife in Gulliver's Travels, was short and intended to ensure she wasn't ever "disturbed by the husband" again. She took her clothes, money, jewelry and signed away the kids before repairing to her Nigerian Lover.
I spent many hours comforting my neighbor who was ever hopeful that his wife and mother of his two kids would return.
Though eventually kicked out by the Nigerian-With-A-Long-Dick, she never returned to my neighbor. During one of my missions to counsel her to return, she told me: The guy (husband) does not reach "there".
I admire Pundit's hopefulness or should we call it optimism. Like my neighbor, he is hopeful that the Uhuruto deal will be salvaged. He is exactly where KM and I were during the NARA Regime's tenure when I was telling KM "we've been screwed" and he would respond with predictable optimism of Kibaki's goodness towards Raila. As a disciple of Thoreau (of the "If I knew someone was coming to my house with the intention of doing me good, I would run as fast as my legs could carry me so he would not do any of his good to me"), I found it insulting.
Pundit, this not about Uhuru and his goodness or generosity towards Ruto. It is about keeping it within GEMA. Both Ruto and Raila are lined up for a huge fuck.
Which is why I long predicted that Ruto and Raila will enter a pact. The result: 2007-08 PEV afresh because GEMA will still rig elections.
Best scenario: Ruto agrees to amend the constitution to create a Westminster style Parliamentary democracy with a PM based on parliamentary strength. He and Raila can then send Uhuru home into retirement along with the GEMA rigging machine. It won't really matter who between them is President or Powerful (Teresa May-like) PM. Their parliamentary strength will determine their cooperation. They would ofcourse be watching a common enemy: GEMA.
There is NO WAY Uhuru Kenyatta and GEMA can honor any deal with either Raila or Uhuru as long as it means they losing the levers of power. May be if you are look at a Tshisekedi like Presidency which Kabila will get rid of any time.
Uhuru is very intelligent - he had to work for his Amhrest degree. The problem really is lack of work ethic and drug abuse. Which is understandable when you're Kenyatta son and worth billions of dollars.
A civil war with Ruto will gift you man Raila with an entry back to the saddle. I think both UhuRuto will make peace before it get bad. That is why those tweets were deleted.
Uhuru really cannot function without Ruto - I mean Matiangi can get stuff done but he is just a minister - and Raila can help with politics - but that is akin to kissing a skunk.
I agree- Uhuru should immediately fire one of Ruto's close guys like Henry Rotich or Charles Keter. I think he has the spine but very lazy with a low IQ.
