In 1992, Matiba using Ford Asili introduced three piece suit voting I'm Nairobi and Central Kenya.
And so Matiba's men were elected councilors, MPS, and himself as Presidential candidate.
In 1997, Kibaki borrowed Matiba strategy. #SixPieceNonsense
Once in office, illiterate councilors, and clueless mayors run down the City of Nairobi. Councillor Kingori was elected in Nairobi between 1993 and 1997.
Nairobi became the city in the garbage.
Empty spaces in the City Centre were grabbed. #SixPieceNonsense
The same was replicated in Kisumu, Western, and Nyanza. Service delivery became a mirage, all because of a useless three-piece voting pattern.
Enter Kibaki's DP in 1997. Waweru, Shebesh's father is elected.
Waweru roots for Dick Wathika to take over the powerful Water Committee, and with it, City Hall was looted dry
. #SixPieceNonsense
By the time Wathika became the Mayor of Nairobi, there was not a single empty ground left in Eastleigh.
It was during his tenure at City Hall that Eastleigh was auctioned to Somali tycoons. #SixPieceNonsense
In 2010, Enter a new constitution.
Dr. Evans Kidero, backed by Raila Odinga becomes Nairobi's first Governor.
No credentials, only a transfer of mismanagement from Mumias to Nairobi #SixPieceNonsense
2017. Calamity Sonko is elected by a landslide Jubilee vote.
For three years, Nairobi was the epicenter of drama. It played host to chaos and hooliganism, thinly veiled as Party after party. #SixPieceNonsense
10 years after devolution, Raila, Kalonzo, and Ruto want their nominees elected as Governors, MPS, Senators, MCA's.
They are now demanding a six-piece voting pattern, zoning of political ground to help create political demagogues
DURING a viral interview with BBC, Trade CS Moses Kuria said the Government will clamp down on Raila.. the Museveni way. #RutoCatch22
Kuria, the ultimate trade ambasandor for Kenya was advocating for an action that will trigger animosity.. And give the hungry Kenyans to massive acts of violence. Why?
Azimio leader Raila Odinga has called off the deadly demonstrations, one hour after President Ruto's appeal. #HandLegShake | #RutoCatch22
Flanked by Martha Karua and Kalonzo Musyoka, Raila said he will now wait for Parliament to address the contagious issues that led him to the streets in the first place. #HandLegShake | #RutoCatch22
Effectively, the new 'handshake' has shamed DP Rigathi Gachagua and Musalia Mudavadi who had claimed there will be 'absolutely' no talks with Raila. #HandLegShake | #RutoCatch22
Yoweri Kaguta Museveni's renegade son has offered to protect the Kenyatta family from attacks by Kenyan goons #NorthlandsInvasion
General Muhoozi Kainarugaba, whose mental faculties appear off rail says he wants to dispatch Ugandan soldiers to deal with the hooligans and their sponsors. #NorthlandsInvasion
Muhoozi, who has for long posted aggressive twitter messages against Kenya and it's leadership has stoked a raw wound that will elicit maximum reaction. #NorthlandsInvasion
The political upheaval is a poisoned chalice for President William Ruto. He shakes hands/leg with Raila Odinga, his hardliners led DP Gachagua will be up in arms. #RutoCatch22
President turns down the hand/leg propelled by mob stones, he alienates 48 per cent of the population. #RutoCatch22
Raila/Martha/Kalonzo may not be angling for state jobs after all. But blunders by the Government have propelled them to stardom. #RutoCatch22
This is the map of Kenya. Yellow represents the geographic areas where President Ruto harvested votes.
Blue represents the strength of Raila Odinga in the 2022 poll #HandLegShake
According to official IEBC records, Ruto won the election. But not with a landslide.
During the Uhuruto victory of 2013, the pattern was almost similar. #HandLegShake
Uhuruto again won narrowly in 2022.
At worst, Raila Odinga has attracted political capital a cross more counties than both President Ruto and retired President Kenyatta. #HandLegShake
