UHURU PLAYING GAMES ON IEBC ISSUE



BY KABAKUA MBOGORIA
Uhuru Kenyatta is using the script that Moi used in 90's to dupe CORD. At the height of agitation for introduction of multiparty democracy in Kenya,Kenneth Matiba ,Charles Rubia and Raila Odinga led a battalion of hardened pro-democracy activists to a rally that is now widely known as the SABA SABA in Kamukunji, Nairobi .Moi arrested all the ring leaders and put them behind bars without trial.Some of those caught on the wrong side include: Kenneth Matiba,Charles Rubia,John Khaminwa,Raila Odinga a.k.a BABA, Gitobu Imanyara and Mohamed Ibrahim -who is now a supreme court justice.These detentions produced an outcry both in Kenya and abroad and the political situation in the country was evidently unsustainable. Moi being a cunning fox he was appointed a committee (smokescreen) headed by one Prof.George Saitoti ,then vice president,to find out the views of Kenyans with regard to multipartism.The Saitoti committee reported that majority of Kenyans were opposed to multipartism !!!!
This is the script that Kamwana is playing on CORD on the IEBC issue. Orengo has seen it all.You will not play dirty games on him

There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Freedom: The One Thing Gaddafi Could Not Give — And the One Thing No Government Can Take Away

For years, the collapse of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi puzzled many observers across Africa and the world. How could a country with high living standards, generous state programs, and a strong economy turn so swiftly against a leader who appeared to have delivered materially for his people? This question is not just about Libya. It speaks to a deeper truth about governance, legitimacy, and the limits of developmental authoritarianism. It speaks to Africa’s political future. And it speaks directly to the crossroads at which Kenya now finds itself. --- The Libyan Paradox: Prosperity Without Liberty Before the 2011 uprising, Libya’s economic and social indicators were strikingly strong for the region. Gaddafi’s Libya boasted: Free education Free healthcare Subsidized housing Cheap fuel High employment An extensive welfare system These were not myths. The United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) of 2010 ranked Libya 53rd in the world and first in Africa. Even today, that ranking stands...
