When Uhuru accepted the offer for dialogue, he was telling his deputy that he (Uhuru) has the last word, and can over-rule his deputy anytime. But, when he said there shall be no 'Nusu Mkate', his target was not R.H. Raila Odinga, or the CORD Coalition. . . His target was actually the URP Brigade. The latter have been yapping about being short-changed on state appts, yet they had a pre-election 50-50 agreement. The president was telling them, to their faces, that ''hakuna nusu mkate hapa. What i say goes''. Uhuru knew perfectly well that most of us would conclude he was referring to R.H. Raila Odinga and the CORD Brigade..... Uhuru executed a cool professional foul on URP, but many of us think he was referring to CORD. The man managed to hit 3 birds with one stone!!! Any right-thinking analyst knows that there is no provision in the new constitution for a Coalition arrangement. So, why would CORD expect to be assimilated into govt?

All we want is DIALOGUE, for the sake of the great pple of Kenya. There's no space or remote possibility of a Coalition arrangement! . . . You need to get into that man's head, in order to understand his every move. . . . Uhuru is too sharp for pple like Ruto.. Ruto, in his eternal stupidity, still has no clue that both remarks were targeted at him and his party. . . .

The boys who were assigned to escort me to Mungania dorm looked at my stunted height and loudly wondered how I would survive in Beast's school. "Who is Beast?" I asked in bewilderment. "You will know." Musyoki answered curtly. It didn't take me long to know who Beast was. The following day, as the 10 o'clock tea was being served, I heard a commotion, with boys leaving their tea and running helter-skelter towards the classrooms. I was a fresh mono, so I didn't know what was happening. I ran along the pavement, and came upon a mighty man, who appeared to be adjusting his trousers. He yanked his belt and thrust one whip towards me. I had encountered Beast himself. He was tall, imposing, burly and endowed with a thunderous voice that could re...
