Raila on a self-annilation trajectory ...

Fellow wanachungwa,

For a while now I have watched and listened from a distance as Kenyans from all over the globe share their take on the controversial Raila-NAMLEF MOU. I must say I have been veeery uneasy with this whole MOU thing and in all honesty I feel that if Raila poorly plays his balls with this document then he will have willingly sunk his own political grave.

It is too late in the game to start or keep playing games; I mean this is "injury time" in the electioneering period and any chickening will definately cost the ODM crew the presidency. We have all worked so hard and campaigned in varied propotions of passions and hope, and just at the brink of success we are almost dawning to a rude awakening of misused adrenalins.

Anyways, without beating about the bush, my take on the MOU thing is that Raila and Partners must come out in the open and expose the document if they believe it is "harmless" as they claim. What's so difficult about that? For now, it is perhaps getting too late for them to do so because the opponents will definately counter by claims like the released document will be fake. The longer they delay in exposing the MOU the more difficult it becomes to talk about it and the more contentious it becomes and the more the PANUA team finds rich fodder to tear into ODM on religious grounds and the more free-fall nosedive ODM takes and the more we all get to believe that the "fake" release was the real thing after all and .... bla bla bla... till Kibaki begins playing golf at state house for another 5-year term as Lucy begins a new lease of life on unleashing hot slaps on cabinet ministers (ask madam Ngilu more about this; I hope she did not turn the other cheek:)) Anyway, folks, matters are getting elephant here, Raila's and by extension, the ODM's integrity and dealings are at stake here and they gonna cost the entire impose upon the expectant electorate an enormous resounding loss.

I am here on air stating it categorically to the whole world, and I do expect that some errand ODM scouts would make it a point to convey this message to the ODM house and the campaign crew that time is nigh and it is too late to begin playing games in the game coz anyone red-carded by the electorate will definately not play, not just in the current match but will as well miss out in the next two matches. Agwambo should well understand that being a football fan. It will be a lifetime chance gone up in smoke and he will have been humbled by a heart-rending experience. He has been doing very well on the track and he must stay on course. Going out of his way to strike deals with religious pacts and the like is not only a certain annilating trajectory but worse still a horrible and demeaning assumption of Christian support. If my statistics are right, I think Kenya is 60% christian; why on earth would Raila end up on a document with a minority team, and please don't get me wrong here. Minority has nothing to do with significance; we are all significant irrespective of our religious inclinations. what am saying is that there are lots lots of religious groups in the Kenyan scene, and it'd be an antagonizing warfare to sign a pact with one and ignore the rest. If you ever read the book, "The Concubine" by the Nigerian Elechi Amadi then I think you will agree with me that Raila is being "Big-eyed" unnecessarily and he may just be shocked to learn that sometime a man's gods may be absent to him on a very important journey.. he hee..

I am very optimistic, though and I do honestly feel that the child is all swung entirely to the winds with the bath tub; there's time plenty to salvage it all and sustain the sails. We have gyrated our heaps steadily and done a great foreplay in the match and just before we melt into the political orgasm, matendo yao "zisituzime". Simple and final: RAILA NA NAMLEF TOA MOU HARAKA IWEZEKANAVYO WATU WASOME NA MSITUPATIE KITU OVYO OVYO JUU TUTAJUA. I am an ODM die-hard supporter, and to a large extent, a snapshot of the nature of the voices on the ground. Today, when you hear our voices, please do not harden your hearts. I am generally too busy to sit before my machine typing lengthy fora documents and for me to key down all this "gibberish", ujue iko maneno. Mkichezacheza mujue kazi pumbavu kama mavi ya kuku itaendelea hapa Kenya na sisi wanakenya tutawablaim nyinyi nyote.

Aweu gi mago nyikwa Ramogi.
