1. Have you guys noticed Iron Lady Martha Karua is laying low after her party's big win instead of being out there celebrating?
2. Do you know with Sonko's victory (a very dodgy character indeed to some) Martha Karua may have scored an own goal?
3. Do you know PNU was shell shocked after the defeat since they were so confident of winning to an extent that PNU's chairman George Kinuthia Muthengi wa Saitoti didn't even bother to campaign for his buddies?
4. Did you know after Saitoti learnt of the defeat, his skin crawled in anger and his hair stood straight. A very close insider told me an angry Saitoti banged the table with his fist and screamed, "I want a file of that Makanga Sonko opened immediately!" Saitoti wants the KRA, KACC, CID et all trawling Sonko's life history, his wealth, girlfriends, wives, vehicles, telephone numbers which are already bugged, his bank accounts etc.
5. Do you know Sonko's win will be used to tarnish Iron Lady in the coming weeks? Already NSIS under the command of Major General Gichangi is working very hard on it to an extent of posting in various blogs including here allegations that Sonko is a drugs baron who is financing Narc-Kenya?
Watch this space. Someone has rattled the snake which will soon bite back. PNU thugs will not take the defeat lying down. Some PNU big shots who are so powerful to an extent they decide who breathes and who goes six feet under are busy doing what they do best- SCHEMING!!!!!!!
Sonko who is so politically naive should stop yapping around that he has 200 bank accounts and a ship. This man is over excited and his handlers are clearly letting him down. He should lay low, probably take a well deserved holiday until things cool down. Politics, he will learn very fast can be very dirty. He's dancing himself lame even before the music has begun!

By Election Analysis
I'm happy coz thuggish Ndolo is now history. Trust me you will never ever hear that horrible name as far as politics of Nairobi is concerned. He spent/burnt millions but sober folks like me knew his fate had already been sealed.
He will forever be remembered for his "weka tyre" speech urging his supporters to set ablaze Kikuyu opponents. He's still under investigations by KACC for misuse of CDF cash back in the day when he was MP. It's good riddance to bad rubbish!
I said here 2 months ago Sonko Mbuvi was the man to watch in Makadara. The guy has done lots of good job in the slums like paying for driving licenses for all the makangas on that route, starting car wash biz for the youth, employing lots of youth in his matatus, bars and construction biz etc. When the young folks looked at him they saw one of their own, even in dressing sense. I still don't know his real name, is it George/Gideon/Michael?
As for George Thuo the elitist snob is concerned, now we know now he indeed stole the elections in 2007. You will always find Kabogo eating mandazi or drinking beer in one of those dingy and sweaty places in Thika or Nairobi together with the common folks.
But not the elitist Thuo whose buddies are rich and famous land barons like Uhuru. Thuo can now go back and concentrate in managing his run down Citi Hoppas which are famed for ripping off customers especialy travelling short distances. He has been left with a huge bill but lucky guy it won't dent his big bank balance. You can check in my blog an article I did long ago called "hopeless city hoppas!"
Maina Kamanda the former hawker and councillor was arrogant to say the least to a point of not appearing in any talk show on TV. Even PNU mandarins foolishly thought the trophy was in the bag that they avoided campaigning for him. This arrogance floored him and you will never hear him again in politics after being rejected twice. He has a huge tab to pick for the petition and by election campaign.
As for madam Bishop, well she had to sweat it out on her own after being kind of isolated by her own party who thought Kamanda would win. Wanjiru fought tough campaigns and could be seen criss crossing from one TV studio to the next never mind she had campaigned against the new constitution. People looked at her and voted for her as a person and her party never played any significance. This woman, like her or hate her fought a good fight and deserved the win! She's emerged as a tough nut to crack and hopefully she will go for the Guvnor of Nai. Who know?
Kabogo was a bitter man from the start coz he always believed he had won in 2007 and rightly so and thus proved his point with a well deserved landslide. I have met Kabogo twice in recent months and believe me his sight is set on higher things like being Guvnor of Kiambu county. This man has magnetic appeal and is very likeable.
He has the deep pockets to go for the county Guvnor and huge popularity. Those who know his humble abode in Nyali Mombasa which is the size of state house know what I mean when I say he's the real sonko- a man of means. Only the son of Jomo can match that as far as Kiambu is concerned but Jomo Jnr has his eyes trained on bigger offices of the land if the Hague doesn't do him.
Questions will also be raised after Jomo jnr lost in Juja his own turf since it's part of Kiambu where Iron Lady Karua triumphed, mind you she's from far away Kirinyaga. It was a big triumph for the Iron Lady as far as influence in Central politics is concerned.
My 2 cents worth.

These Bloody Politicians Can't Even Manage a Village Cattle Dip!
First they shamelessly invited a wanted mass murderer on the most important day since 1963 when we celebrated our Independence. Can someone please explain to me what we gained as a nation by inviting Al-Bashir and humiliating the Southern Sudanese? Instead of the world joining us in that fete and talking about our new born country, two weeks later, everyone is still talking about how the day was hijacked, airport shut and how Al-Bashir gatecrashed our party.
Then the sham census results that cost the tax payer over 12 billion shillings were announced after months and months of doctoring the figures and dithering. They came as fraudulent as expected. Nothing is adding up, whether you text for the figures using the special number given or checked the 'official' figures that were released by minister Oparanya. So much wasted time and money in the shambolic exercise. We never seem to get anything right in Africa. And yet, the minister in charge of the whole bogus exercise is still in office collecting a whooping 1 million plus- per month in salary and allowances. What a joke this nation is!

Wanted Mass Murderer Bashir Buys a VIP Seat In Nairobi For Millions of Dollars
Wanted Genocideer walked in town untouched. What a shame on Kenya's most important day since independence! May those who invited this mass murderer be haunted by their insensitive, evil, callous and barbaric actions for the rest of their damned lives. Sudanese dictator ought to be rotting in hell, not strutting his stuff in our beautiful country. I hear he bought his invitation card to Nairobi for some millions of dollars....

Raila Back In Hospital in Italy?
18 Aug 2010 06:51:19 GMT 18 Aug 2010 06:51:19 GMT Source: Reuters
NAIROBI, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Kenya's Prime Minister Raila Odinga headed for a break in Italy as he recovers from an operation last month to relieve pressure on his brain, his office said late on Tuesday.
The usually indefatigable Odinga, who was advised by doctors to slow his pace of work as he convalesces, is expected to return to east Africa's largest economy before the Aug. 27 promulgation of a new constitution.
"The prime minister leaves the country later tonight for a brief holiday outside the country for a few days rest. The PM will be in Italy for about a week," Dennis Onyango, the prime minister's spokesman, said in an emailed statement.
Odinga's illness forced him to break off campaigning for the new charter, which Kenyans endorsed in a peaceful referendum on Aug. 4. On Monday, Odinga hosted a lavish cocktail party at his home to celebrate the "yes" vote.
The revised basic law is aimed at ending the ethnic rivalries that have plagued Kenyan politics since independence from Britain in 1963. Political analysts say the referendum win boosted 65-year-old Odinga's prospects in 2012 presidential elections.

Sorry Guys But Truth Be Told..I'm Beginning to Like Man Tinga...
Over the last two years, I have been a very harsh critic of Rt Hon Prime Minister Raila Odinga AKA "Fabregas, Tinga, Captain, Agwambo, Arap Mibei, Jamba etc". But I'm now seriously considering endorsing him for the highest office in Kenya come 2012. I'm beginning to like lots of actions he's taking and words he's talking because he's striking all the right tones. I know he can do better and that's why I'm holding my endorsement for a few more weeks. But compared to other presidential contenders/pretenders/wannabees, Raila seems to be way ahead of the pack. This is because the said pretenders are bogged down in legal cases that involve fraud, election violence and land grabbing. Others like Ruto are busy living a big fat lie while they build castles in the air as far as patriotism is concerned. True, Raila is not a saint and no one is perfect. But most of us can relate to his vision, hope and aspirations for mother Kenya. I think Raila would make a great President assisted by Martha Karua or what do you think? Of course a week in politics is like eternity and lots of stuff can happen in between. We still have about 2 years to go to the ballot and the vote will separate the wheat from the chuff. Yet so far although I hate his party, I like the leader!

Shut The Hell Up Bwana PLO and Please Get Busy Working!
Above: KACC boss Dr. PLO Lumumba in one of his many press conferencesThe new boss of KACC- Kenya Anti Corruption Commission is a very intelligent and eloquent man. That, there's no doubt. But I'm sick and tired of seeing him just talking and talking to a point of becoming what is known as a talking head. Doesn't he ever get tired of exercising his jaws and throat? I mean, honestly, this university don never shuts up yet he has a mountain of corruption related files lying on his desk at Integrity Centre which is located off Valley Road in Nairobi. Justice Aaron Ringera must have left quite a fine mess there before he was kicked out in disgrace.
This begs the question, when does PLO ever get busy working yet he's hopping from one TV and radio station to the next from one newspaper to the next or being interviewed from his posh office by anyone who labels himself a journalist. Kenyans don't care about the Shakespeare English or the flawless Zanzibari Swahili that PLO keeps mouthing. What Kenyans care about is the arrest of rampant corruption in Government and private sector, their conviction and incarceration at Kamiti prison.
Since independence, no big fish has been convicted of any corruption related case in Kenya. That's why impunity thrives since the sacred cows know they are just untouchable. PLO will eventually be judged, not on how many vocabularies he utters in his daily briefings, but the success of stemming the huge tide of shady and corrupt activities in Kenya. In simple and plain English: Talk less Bwana PLO and work more. Is that too much to ask?
