I fully agree with Mr. Ngatia that so many wrong things in Kenya are due to the Kikuyu ruling class who are selfish and only think of amassing wealth and don’t even care about their own people.
Recently, former MP Justine Muturi who is a top KANU official said that although the Kikuyu voted heavily for Kibaki, so many now question why when he does not bother about the IDPs who continue languishing in camps.
The current standoff in the Grand Coalition is due to Kibaki’s people who are not willing to share anything with their principal partners in ODM. Instead, Kalonzo the traitor is being treated as if he is Kibaki’s principal partner.
After Raila had blasted Kibaki openly last week, it had to take the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, and other members of the Obama administration to kick a$$ for Kibaki’s people to listen to Raila.
It is Kibaki’s goons who are blocking reforms in Kenya, especially the implementation of Agenda Four on the National Accord. Kibaki sensed embarrassment and has resolved that Raila’s salary must be discussed and he should also be treated as an equal partner in the Coalition.
The Mount Kenya Mafia must know that their time is up and President Obama will never watch as his ancestral country goes to the dogs because of a few greedy people who don’t want to share resources. Read on:
It took at least five calls and visits by US President Barack Obama Administration representatives to bring the squabbling coalition principals to face-to-face talks to resolve their intractable differences. And matters came to a head when State Secretary Hillary Clinton wrote to the two on the need for the coalition to stick together and fast-track key reforms under Agenda Four.
“The President (Kibaki) chastised his party, saying members were creating a mountain out of a molehill. He was emphatic when they came to issues of the PM’s protocol, saying Raila deserved a higher protocol and even moved on to the issue of the PM’s salary,” the source said.
The President said it was for the Tribunal reviewing MPs’ salaries to recommend to the House how much the PM should earn.
“This is a closed chapter. Raila should enjoy his status as an equal partner in the coalition,” the President said.
Caught off guard, Muthaura, who had kicked off the debate on salaries, said the media misquoted his presentation to the tribunal.
The two quickly agreed that a team be formed to draw an agenda for discussion by coalition partners on Wednesday night.
The President appointed Muthaura to represent him while the PM tasked his administrative secretary Caroli Omondi to hold brief. The two were asked to come up with agenda of the coalition meeting and take it back to their bosses that night.

On Monday night this week, the villagers of Gathaithi-Kiangumara and Kiaruhiu in Nyeri East District (Kibaki’s backyard), experienced a night of the long knives when up to 30 young and old men were murdered in cold blood using machetes. Members of the proscribed Mungiki gang are suspected of committing this hideous crime. The killings were in retaliation to the deaths of 15 suspected Mungiki members last week Karatina (Central Province), by a vigilante group.
The Government of Kenya is mum and no official condemnation has been delivered so far. According to various studies and observations, Mungiki is the brainchild of some affluent Central Province politicians (and businessmen) who enlisted them initially to run their dirty errands during past political campaigns.
However, the gang members have now become so empowered through different vices to generate money within this province and in sections of Nairobi. Insiders claim that they are dissatisfied with the Government’s poor response to the misery of the Kikuyu youth, a majority of whom are out of employment.
There is also a feeling that they are using their vicious methods which include extortion (protection fees) and beheading, to send a message to the Kikuyu ruling class, that their greed and land-grabbing has left so many of them landless and poor. They are therefore left with nothing but crude ways to earn a living.
Up to this moment, the Mungiki seem unstoppable, despite the Government’s unconventional extra-judicial killings, employed to eliminate them in Central Province and within Mungiki-infested sections of Nairobi.
The Kikuyu ruling class must come to terms with this reality and give back some of the land they grabbed. They should share their wealth with their poor youth.
In his book, Mr. Okoth Osewe analyzes the land crisis in Kenya which he believes is latent, but when it will explode, Zimbabwe’s will be child’s play.
Remember, the Kenya Government is not keen in resolving land issues which sparked the post-election violence in the Rift Valley province. Why? Because it is the ruling Kikuyu class that grabbed huge tracts of land from their poor folk, yet the British compensated the Kenyatta regime heavily with millions of Shillings to pay the landless after Independence. Many Kikuyu are now in a state of destituteness due to this.
