You;re on funny cartoon - who has decided that BBI will be part of 2022 election
- and has gone ahead to draft Raila led coalition with about 10 people - squeezed in about 5 positions
PORK, DPORK, PM and two DPM. Where will Joho fit in there? When even Wetangula has no number?
Tell you what - let us deal with reality as we know. BBI fate now lies with the judiciary. The 5 bench high court to be precise will decide how we move from here. I suggest you wait until that is dispense with. As for parliament and senate - their role is ceremonial - so it really too much ado about nothing.
But if they pass it and the high court dismisses all 8 cases - a mischievous Uhuru could declare BBI doesn't offend any protected section and declared the constitution. Therefore it's in Raila interest to make it pass in parliament and be rejected in senate...like I suspect it will.
As for Ruto and those opposed to BBI - our best bet remain to fight BBI in court - so I expect more and more cases - and more and more injunctions. We just need to buy time until Uhuru retires - then BBI will join the rest of papers in Dandora dumpsite.
We are still in 2021.
Now we get into 2022. BBI would either be dead or limping on -most definitely in courts as appeals are more than guranteed - or already the law.
We get to 2022 - and we have 8 months - parliament is dissolved in Feb - January Nairobi is empty of politicians - and everyone is out there with hired or borrowed 4WD meeting the ground.This is where the rubber meet the road.
Will Uhuru who has the last 4 years been unable to campaign in GEMA - certainly get some mojo back - to take the hated Raila around GEMA. My punditry say NO. Uhuru will continue hiding. Matiangi will also continue being CS of Security - but somehow hopping he can become PORK.
Ruto - my man - who is the man to beat - who you need 10 candidates in a BBI constellation - will make a deal with GEMA faction - the gema ground - will decide - to split into Kieleweke or UDA. So far all evidence suggests Ruto despite zero power is very popular. Uhuru is hated. And Raila is abhorred - anathema.
Now Ruto will find it difficult to nick 50% with a divided GEMA - an hostile executive - but I believe unlike Uhuru who had to deal with Anti-GEMA sentiments - Ruto will score big in Non-GEMA. Ruto will occupy Uhuru's GEMA position and Raila's Non-GEMA - and that make the man very hard to beat.
As for OKOA kenya - that nonsense - will unravel when they have to pick candidates
They just managed to lie to their people that they are united - but who will BELL THE CAT. They go back to Raila or wait for Uhuru to unleash Gideon Moi?
Raila is what doctored ordered for Ruto - because GEMA WILL REVOLT completely - and Uhuru will not manage 5% of GEMA- and Ruto will win in 1st round.
The dangerous proposition is where Uhuru and Raila realize Ruto is very strong - and go tribal - by splintering the vote - to deny Ruto 50% - OKOA last by-election style - and hope to merge in 2nd round. But I doubt they will realize just how strong Ruto is - so they will not go for 2nd Round Strategy.
For Ruto to win in 2022 in 1st Round.
1) Get the majority of GEMA - by making a deal
2) Work on getting the majority of Non-GEMA without an horse - there is at least 30% out there - outside the Big 5 tribes. This MOI constituency that can be powerful as GEMA if well-taken care of .
3) Make a deal with one of BIg 5 - Certainly I would take somehow hopeless like Wetangula and aim for Bukusu - for exchange of PM or something like that - or even COAST supremo - if one was to emerge - seem completely splintered into 3 camps.
BBI is better than any MOU. Why would a Joho or Kingi or Mutua back Ruto - while BBI allow him to be MP and possibly CS under Raila?
About 100B gdp... Prof Ndung'u ponzi scheme cannot change that. Hustler or wheelbarrow is just a slogan not a genuine transformation. Why is UDA back to the drawing board - with new professor after hiring all Ndii's and Owallos - is because class was beaten hands-down by tribe on March 4th & 18th. It an attempt to breathe air into a carcass - akin to Jesus miracle with Lazarus of Bethany, son of Nain and Jairus' daughter. Resurrecting hustler mzoga is more herculean than passing BBI.
Non-GEMA
Hustler nonsense is dead. One-Kenya killed it. With BBI lineup Raila has non-Gema bulk. Ruto has bulk of pastoralists. In NEP his crew impeached Wajir governor last week for preaching BBI.
GEMA
Boils down to Uhuru. With hustler dead, watermelon won't cut it as BBI is Gema windfall. Being "neutral" in BBI election remind me of UK Brexit-election and the fate of "neutral" Labor Party. Worst performance in 85 years. Ruto will quit politics in shame ala Jeremy Corbyn - after the dog-beating.
UDA is busy with registration and party structures - and coming up with manifesto- their own BBI.
Now let tell you BBI will NOT INCREASE POWER in Kenya. THE POWER which you can call - kenya budget of 30B dollars annual - will increase with our economy.
Ruto is now DP - but he has no power.
In Jubilee 1.0 he was DP - and had power due to 50-50 deal - he a mere VP but was appointing ministers, and name it. That power did NOT COME FROM DEPUTY PRESIDENT office. It came from Uhuru and political reality of Uhuru needing to be re-elected.
BBI is nonsense on steroid for small kids.
What if I make you a PM - and proceed to ignore you like Ruto? You cannot fire or hire minister. You'll be calling meeting like Matiangi and ministers will send junior level PS . After a few months - you'll get busy - somehow
Or the president can go ahead and issues EXECUTIVE ORDER OF 2023 - that declares RV Pundit the coordinator of gov What will you do as prime minister ?
Heck Raila in NARA - versus Muthaura. Which PNU minister would attend Raila meeting - NONE. Muthaura everyone knew was real gov supervisor and coordinator.
What is important for Ruto is to get GEMA to commit new partneship agreement based on 50-50 like Jubilee 1.0 and to treat Uhuru aberration as 'urogi'.
Once Ruto has renewed the partneship with GEMA - and has not dropped the ball - despite massive propaganda - it GAME (GEMA) SHOT! The NON_GEMA provide rigging proof margins...
