Maybe the title should read it's
presidency or nothing. Honestly who is opposing a retiring Uhuru. He has less than 2yrs to go.
I think after 1M1S - basically appetite for BBI in them has died - this was something they wished they could sell as their BBI bargain.
I think the failure of Raila to secure 1M1S - has Uhuru and his Kibicho powers really worried - and Raila should be the most worried.
His bargaining chips are now very few. If he could not secure 1m1s - against Murkomen - 7 or 10 times - how can he secure other difficult things.
So Raila is kaput in power games - with Murathes ensared by COVID.
If Raila was smart he would have strike a rode when it's hot - and got himself something. When Ruto folks were being hounded in parliament - that was the time to demand a share of gov. He failed.
Now he is position where he support something - and gov has go through the motion 10 times - before compromising! - where Raila has basically lost support of many senators and their home-ground.
Now what is going to happen in mt kenya is simple. It's ground game. What will Mt Kenya people buy. If they insist on Ruto Liwe Liwalo. The elite will negotiate a safe exit - and support Ruto. No political elite want to face an angry populace and be send home.
Ruto in ODM face the same dillema - he wanted Kalonzo because he'd win in good unriggable margins against an incumbent (same 2005 white-wash of gov in the referendum) - but kalenjin were so angry and were in Raila LIWE LIWALO - so eventually Ruto had to run to their front and pretend to lead them into ODM.
From now till 2022 - the ground is everything - everyone in 2021 will be listening to their homegrounds - the local issues - and etc.
First I see the heading is "Its President or Nothing" , some of us who can read between the lines , it means a total opposition of BBI.
Going through the statements by Kuria , its eveident the seeds of discord against BBI have been planted , further by proposing IPPG this is a scheme of sideling the newly formed committes with memebers fully supporting the BBI from PSC to the Financial committe which are critical in ensuring a publiscte happens.
Another point to note is Mt Kenya politicians for the first time in history have found themselves in an unknown territory, more so for the elected leaders, previously they had a Kingpin , they had a party , read Ford Asili, DP etc now the elected leaders who have learnt from history coming back to parliament is not an easy fete are trying to measure where they can place their eggs , no matter what no matter where its not a guarantee that they will get nominated in the most popular party in the region now add to the fact just like in 2013 and 2002 this will be a regime changing elections , people will want to see new faces as MPS , MCA and Senators.
Now seeing Kibicho along with these MPs will tell you , people inside government know their time is up and a safe exit would be to wnter politics.
As it stands things with things on the ground in Mt Kenya Ruto is the man to beat come 2022.
