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?

#RutoCatch22 Image
Kuria, who claims to be an altar boy Emeritus grow up in this famous but poor rural set up.

As a brilliant fresh University of Nairobi graduate in 1997, he masterminded the defeat of Uhuru Kenyatta by Moses Muihia.

#RutoCatch22 Image
The contest was about Gatundu South Constituency. Emboldened by humiliating the Kenyatta's, Kuria started to harbour leadership ideas of his own.

#RutoCatch22 Image
Kuria and Muihia did not defeat Kenyatta on their own. They were doing it on the behest of Vice President Professor George Saitoti.

Saitoti knew that Moi had a soft political spot for Uhuru, and would use him to clip his presidential wings.

#RutoCatch22 Image
The Professor was right. He was dropped as Vice President in 1998, confirming the well founded fear that Uhuru was earmarked to succeed Moi.

#RutoCatch22 Image
It is not clear who Kuria would have supported for the Presidency in 2013 had Saitoti not perished in a plane crash in Ngong.

#RutoCatch22 Image
Suffice however is to say that between 2002 and 2013, Kuria became a city businessman with interests in the media(Government owned Kenya Today Publication owned by Ministry of Information)

#RutoCatch22 Image
Kuria stabilised financially during this period.

After the Post Election violence, he warmed his way to the Kenyatta family... And was frequently a visitor to Mama Ngina Kenyatta home.

#RutoCatch22 Image
He became close to another high voltage Gatundu financial guru, Engineer Joseph Njoroge, then a top KPLC executive.

#RutoCatch22 Image
And then the political storm. Uhuru was retiring. Kuria wanted relevance.
He was not decided whether to support Raila or Ruto.

#RutoCatch22 Image
So he kept sending mixed signals to both sides. When he thought Uhuru's political past was brighter than the future.

Ruto became the option

#RutoCatch22 Image
Then the mistakes. He teamed up with Kimani Ichungw'a to fight Gachagua stamp as Ruto running mate.

#RutoCatch22 ImageImageImage
Gachagua drove them out of town, vanguished their preferred candidate Prof. Kithuke Kindiki and took his seat behind Ruto.

#RutoCatch22 Image
Kuria wanted Kindiki because he was weaker politically, courtesy of the lower voting muscle of the Meru

#RutoCatch22 Image
When the onslaught on the Kenyatta's over Raila protests hit a crescendo, Kuria foolishly took sides... Against his former constituents

#RutoCatch22 Image
Kuria is now a marked man at Gatundu and beyond. Should Raila demand his sacking.. And he sure may, he could be on his way out of cabinet.

#RutoCatch22 Image
Ruto's ministers value is under scrutiny 6 months into Presidency. A reshuffle Is an option. Or even exit

Reason? The public is getting impatient with their performance. As indicated by various surveys so far released

#RutoCatch22 Image
The fall out will be mega. With Raila Odinga and President William Ruto now brothers, trouble looms large.

Specifically, the cousins are in trouble. The cousins include all the hardliners, oscillating around Rigathi Gachagua.

#RutoCatch22 Image
The brother ticket and business Includes Retiree President Uhuru Kenyatta, Kalonzo Musyoka and Martha Karua

#RutoCatch22 Image
So what is the deal for Raila other than the food prices excuse?

The 2010 Constitution has no place for a losing Presidential candidate.

He goes home after the Chebukati of the day joins the winning team for victory party.

#RutoCatch22 Image
The support offices of Kalonzo Musyoka and Martha Karua and their future clones will be established too.

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.

Aden Duale is no ordinary CS. He leads the State Department of Defence. A key, critical and sensitive Ministry.

His sentiments on national Radio that retired President Kenyatta has set emmiseries raise fundamental issues that deserve probity.
#HandLegShake Image
Was Aden Duale speaking as a politician or defence CS. If he was making a reckless political statement, that can be understood.

#HandLegShake
However, if retired President Kenyatta has sent emissaries to the Government over the invasion of Northlands, then the CS cannot make it public.

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 Image
President turns down the hand/leg propelled by mob stones, he alienates 48 per cent of the population. #RutoCatch22 Image
Raila/Martha/Kalonzo may not be angling for state jobs after all. But blunders by the Government have propelled them to stardom.

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 Image
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 Image
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.

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 Image
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.
