JM KARIUKI parliamentary ideas (1969-75 Hansard) show a vision for egalitarianism - warned of Kenya of "10 millionaires and 10 million beggers". 1968 he sponsored HIRE PURCHASE ACT that to-date helps many access goods to uplift lives. Enabling proPoor policies, ending graft key.
2007/8 PEV was mutating to class warfare esp in hotbeds. Today, many leafy neighbourhoods are isolating and many kids from these rich estates don't know of "others". Often TV comedies feature these differences firming the contemptuous demarcations. We have a very serious problem.
Solution to redress marginalisation is to end corruption. When thieves are protected by those with influential power, then creation & spread of criminal enterprises and mass grievances will grow, thrive. But to expect culprits to end vice is to be naive. Looting sadly now 'legit'
Instead of escalating the “dynasties” vs “hustlers” suspicions, we need urgent NATIONAL CONFERENCE to resolve how to live with confessed thieves and to holistically tackle the evil, and RECOVER the loot. This can prevent spiral of robbery. Or we head to a cliff into precipice.
Oppressors and thieves are trembling. Yet we ALL should be very alarmed coz class warfare is a snowball - it’s rolling downhill increasing in speed and size. The paranoid rebuttals by crooked minority perceived as filthiest "shareholders" in LOOTING KENYA only worsening things.
Beneficiaries of state-sanctioned CORRUPTION in neo-colonial Kenya are so fidgety. They'll plot any evil to remain crudely dominant. Contrarily, rising poverty + resentment amongst marginalized masses is creating relentless insurgency. We MUST dialogue for bold, enduring remedy.
Haven’t we seen what control of politics by SPECIAL INTERESTS is in America? If ‘Uncle Sam’ is so shaken, how can vulnerable young fragile nation that’s ours stand if pillars on clay soil get shaken? Allover, the affluent are coiling. But robbed masses only have chains to lose!
A NATIONAL CONFERENCE can RESOLVE mechanisms to end corruption. We must change culture of creating billionaires by misusing public service privilege. If true enterprise is to prosper, we MUST find a BOLD WAY to redress past transgressions and redefine a different future EDICT.
Big donors to Kenya are Scandinavians (eg Denmark, Sweden). These small nations have true $billionare investors. They cushion ALL less privileged. Basics - Education Health, Transport Food guaranteed. Quality life highest. It is what KENYA needs. Can’t happen in BANDIT ECONOMY.
South Korea just jailed Samsung CEO for 15yrs due to corruption. Britain jailed IEBC chickegate culprits while Kenyan accomplices sanitized and are now being reset for 2022! ONLY a RADICAL approach :- offer a concessional amnesty but RESET RULES securing corruption-free future.
KENYA let's talk. It is the sure way out of the prevailing impasse and danger. As of Katiba, and as of multiparty democracy: NATIONAL CONVERSATION on STATE CAPTURE, IMPUNITY, CORRUPTION. For it is coz political power gives a HAVEN of LOOTING KENYA that barons spoil to reign.
I find "dynasty/hustlers" a dangerous path. It's ideologicallly blurred, is threat to security, stability and wellbeing of all citizens. Dynasties (MAFIA) sacrifice countries for their illgotten wealth. "Hustlers" easily mutate to militias of criminal enterprises. Lets REROUTE.
Beyond din and notoriety of hatchet-men’s intoxicating squabbles of Ruto/Wheelbarrow-versus-UhuRao&surrogates, we surely can afford a decent conversation bereft of insults and bigotry. If we sober-up to REASON, we may still have country to call home beyond 2022. Otherwise........
WE citizens who elect leaders, and WE who seek to represent the public good must realise that what is happening inside the schemes for beyond2022 rule will break our SOVEREIGN. If escalating anger of mass deprivations crash with a despair power wielders, Kenya will surely break.
BITTERSWEET:-
UhuRuto fell.
Handshake fell.
BBI fell.
UhuRao fell.
Nairobi has fallen.
Betrayals falling in place.
Campaigns2022On.
Yet, MOST IMPORTANTLY CORRUPTION, IMPUNITY must FALL. KENYA OUR ONLY HOME mustn’t, won’t fall! This we must ensure. Herculean task though.
EndNote:

RESPONSE over REACTION. CONVERSATION over ALTERCATION. Admission of PROBLEM over Ejection of REALITY.

This a call for CANDID #REALITYCHECK. It is a lobby for INCLUSIVE engagement & dialogue minus fireworks of ‘Countdown2022’. #TWAWEZA for our COMMON GOOD. #RESCUEKENYA

2020 exits. A year of global losses and distress. Of America Trumpism, of Kenya #BBI - both blindly amok, owners refusing their fault and flop. COVID funds thefts put Kenyan in new gluttony league. Yet thank God for HIS gifts & blessings amidst pains, trials and tribulations.
Those of us who initially supported #Handshake but turned against clearly deceptive #BBI were trolled, attacked. I was particularly accused, sadly, of being a Ruto agent or being bitter on ‘missing’ cabinet slot or being envious of another “rival” honcho. Lies. WE LET GOD JUDGE.
Truth is that I last talked to Ruto 2015 on aftermath of my stand #NYSHeist, though sustained efforts to reconcile lasted all yr2020. Contrarily, Fact: I’ve talked with Raila consistently to-date. He knows my honest, firm opposition on BBI faults. My published views UNAPOLOGETIC.

Raila, Kalonzo, Wetangula, Mudavadi: “riots” engulfed country 2016 as Cord peacefully protested for Electoral reforms. Our bipartisan parliamentary caucus met to conversed w/ each of you. We also talked to President Uhuru & Ruto. We successfully achieved dialogue, Select Comte.
All of you - except Ruto - received us so well, approved our effort. Ruto viciously protested initiative. They’re now eating him ravenously, as did you 2016/17/18. As a citizen privileged to know ‘101‘, asking you defend Ruto’s constitutional rights, Jubilee implosions aside.
1992 Moi regime blocked Matiba, Jaramogi and Kibaki not to enter Embu/Meru, North Eastern, Eldoret/Baringo respectively. 2002 system collapsed. 2007 we called each other MaDoaDoa & NyamuCiaRuguru. 2013/17 we branded rivals Muguruki/Kimundu, Mlevi/Wezi; manifestos NOT. Not again!

Renewed vitriol on Raila by Tangatanga MPs is cowardly. It’s vain, blatant attempt at revising history. 1992 & 1997 so-called land-crashes were politically sponsored by KANU against opposition supporters. Raila was forefront in opposition. FACT. Like many of us he was victim.
Kiliku, NCCK, Akiwumi & other reports revealed plotters +perpetrators. Local & foreign media published. YK92 In thick of it. 1997 Urais: Raila, Ngilu, Wamalwa lost. No violence Siaya, Kitui, Bungoma. Kibaki “lost”. Nyeri calm. 1992 Matiba rigged out but Murang’a calm. Villains?
2002 most peaceful multiparty poll. Uhuru conceded even as some allies resisted. Moi ensured smooth transition. 2013 smooth too as Raila conceded after @Kenyajudiciary petition flopped. W/ Kalonzo called on UhuRuto @StateHouseKenya, recognized UhuRuto presidency. No violence

We reluctantly but robustly supported UhuRuto deal
after political propagandists fabricated 07/08 PEV investigations. SOME victims were depicted villains. We JUSTIFIABLY sympathized, defended our own. That’s after quiet efforts by some of us to get Raila-Uhuru alliance failed.
2013-17, Ruto controlled both Houses of Parliament and Executive. Anyone wanting a FIX went to see Ruto. Even governors in trouble with Senate! He fixed all. We still don’t know why Uhuru let it happen. Everyone knows ‘Annex’ became ‘Extortion Palace’. Well-oiled Sky Team ruled.
Jubilee REBELLION against Uhuru was born 2013, escalated 2017. We shouldn’t blame Ruto; was doing his game - ruthlessly, generously, impatiently. Anyone disagreeing was isolated and viciously fought. But Uhuru didn’t care on alarms. We don’t hate Ruto. But he’s so INTOLERANT.
