The most probable presidential race line-up come 2017 in kenya

Kenya's last two general elections can be described as a two horse race,whether 2017 general elections will be different only time will tell.Currently the people who are expected to contest for presidency in 2017 are the sitting president Uhuru Kenyatta and former prime minister Raila Odinga which will mean a repeat of 2013 where the later lost amid claims of rigging.There is high possibility of realignment before 2017 though, since in politics there is no permanent enemies.Deputy president William Ruto may change the whole scenario incase he decides to gauge his popularity in 2017,If this happens then a third force will have joined the contest and the whole game will obviously change,president Uhuru will be forced to look elsewhere for a formidable running mate.Cord will loose some of their perceived strongholds depending on who Ruto will choose as his running mate,According to my opinion if Ruto happens to vie the most probable person he will choose has his running mate will be Budalangi mp Ababu Namwamba, reason being his age and coming from the populous luhya community.If the cord coalition remains intact then the likes of senate minority leader and cord principal Moses wetangula will have a more homework to do and counter Ruto/Ababu pair in their votes hunt from western Kenya.President Uhuru on the other hand will look for an alternative running mate and in this case the most probable person will be machakos governor Alfred mutua mainly because of his track record on development and also help counter cord coalition in ukambani,Uhuru will also be forced to sponsor a person from luhya community to vie for presidency just to divide luhya votes.If this happens then runoff in 2017 will be a must and the winner will be determined by which side the 3rd runners up will support.You can take that to the bank as we wait for time to tell.

MOURNING THE ONLY PRINCIPAL I KNEW

By Dr.Paul Bundi Karau I arrived at Kanyakine High School on 18th February 1999 a small village boy. I had never been to a boarding school, and certainly this is the furthest from home I had ever gone. 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...

Political Tumbocrats

*Political Tumbocrats* A political tumbocrat is a person who hangs around elected leaders to satisfy her/his personal greed. Tumbocrats sees a leader as a demigod whom they worship. The r bootlickers and sycophants of the highest order. Their work is to defend leaders and cheat public that something is happening. A tumbocrat has no values or morals. A tumbocrat is not interested with common good but personal good. A tumbocrat has no vision but appetite for being near high table of power  and feeding on crumbs.   Tumbocrats are greatest obstacles to development in our country. They protect the corrupt and shield the bad governance in so far as they get something to fill their tumbos. They are good and articulate in arguments but they lack the moral authority because they don't value truth. Every political leader is surrounded by tumbocrats. They are the noise makers in social media and around leaders defending them. They peddle lies en create propagandas . They confuse the publ...
