Hustler nation needs to register or win at least an MP or few MCAs under MK TSP - before we can take them seriously. Idle minds always fall prey to handouts, drugs, radicalization and bad influence generally. They are feeble- minded but unbankable. I mean folks even join Al Shaabab for few coins and mumbo jumbo. Maendeleo Chap chap "movement" had excited boys in Mayakos and really scared Kalonzo. Now I think the formal Mutua party has 1 MP - besides himself. Even now the fake "party leader" is drawing crowds in Tharaka and Nyeri - genuine crowds without handouts ala Mobutu - but don't hold your breath for the payoff.
Matiba had mammoth crowds - with massive convoys that bankrupted him. I can bet anyone footing convoy bills will get even mjengo hustlers excited enough to join.
But the most recent "wave" was Mobutu in UDM-URP days. With Kuttuny, Linturis, Mwakweres - they "stormed" Luhya, Gusii, Mijikenda and name it. By 2012 after 4 years of rallies, ICC, Mau - UDM maxed at 14% - Kalenjin and a bunch of pastoralists. KADU. This is exactly where he is now despite the magic shows on smoking stage. Any demagogue with forked tongue, endless "grievances", long convoys AND HANDOUTS - expect mammoth crowds. It free entertainment.
A genuine hustler minus the ndombolo and handouts is MK - his rallies have 50 people and 3 reporters.
