As the so called talks with thieves in PNU continues, there are several idiots within the Party who are standing on the way of progress and who needs to be known by all Kenyans interested in moving the country forward. These are: Emilio Mwai Kibaki, Martha Karua, John Michuki, Amoss Kimunya, Alfred Mutua, Moses Wetangula, Mutula Kalonzo, Uhuru Kenyatta, Lucy Kibaki amomg others. In this series, KSB’s takes a look at some of the profiles of these idiots. We begin with Kibaki, Karua and Michuki.
MR EMILIO MWAI KIBAKI (General Kiguoya): Key conspirator of rigged elections who allowed himself to be illegally and secretly installed as President of Kenya without the National anthem being played and after the Kenyan flag was lowered for the evening. The traditional Diplomatic corpse was missing from the function which was attended by his own personal friends, family members and leading sycophants and organized less than an hour after elections were rigged. Even losers like Musikari Kombo are reported to have attended the bogus function. Although he calls himself President, he has never been handed over the symbolic “Sword of Power”. As a Septuagenarian, Kibaki is senile and mostly sleeps at State House as his wife Lucy gives commands and slaps perceived opponents along the corridors of State House. Slapping people is part of her hobby. She recently ordered that human rights activists in Kenya be investigated while she is reported to have shot her son after the son reprtedly told Kibaki to step down.
Although he believes he “leads” Kenya, he cannot make a coherent sentence during an off the cuff discussion. He simply mumbles and when the South African Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu came to Kenya to try and resolve the crisis, he had to sneak back to South Africa to relax after he talked to Kibaki because he noticed that the mind of the so called President “had gone”. In other words, there was nothing to discuss with Kibaki and Tutu reportedly wondered how Kibaki had managed to finish his first term in Office.
In short, Kibaki is seriously sick with high blood pressure, diabetes, liver cirrhosis and a chronic heart problem. Even at the time he took over power after the December 2002 elections, Kibaki was still “on the bottle” and as concerns grew about the President’s state of alcoholism, Kibaki rushed to the media to announce that he had become a Tee-taller. This public announcement confirmed that Kibaki had been on the bottle all through, a habit that left him with a damaged liver. He drinks whisky although when he came to Stockholm just before the 1997 elections, he was drinking “Pripps Blå”, a popular beer. A Kenyan exile who hosted him and who was heading the Scandinavian branch of the Democratic Party at that time returned to Kenya after the 2002 elections but failed to meet Kibaki because Kibaki is basically under very tight control. Kenyans in Stockholm know the story.
Back to Kibaki’s health: The old man has suffered mild stroke at least twice since he took power in 2002 while he has serious difficulties in walking. If you saw him limping towards the Chief justice on 30th December to take the bible for the fake swearing in ceremony, you might have noticed that abnormal and shocking gait. The accident he suffered before the 2002 election left him with a broken leg, a broken arm and an assortment of other injuries that have drastically reduced his health and left him in a position of serious weakness.
If you didn’t know, Kibaki has to read prepared Statements and, as a rule, he never meets the media because both his handlers and cronies know his capacity to mess up whenever he opens his mouth after reading a speech. When he reads a prepared Statement, it is known that his handlers usually panic at the prospect of him veering from the speech to spit embarrassing rubbish that exposes him as unfit to govern and open his character to ridicule. Since December 27th, Kibaki is one of the key idiots who have held Kenya hostage with a stolen election.
If a honest analysis were to be made, it would be safe to advance the view that Kibaki should be enjoying his pension instead of allowing himself to undergo the stress of accusations that he rigged elections. In fact, a new Movement is needed in Kenya to question when Kibaki will enjoy his pension because he is too old to lead a country in which 65 percent of the voters are young people who were born after the so called independence. This are some moments when you can wish that nature intervenes but do I say?
Someone who has been the Vice president of a ruthless Dictator for 10 years and managed to get honored with the country’s Presidency for another 5 years still steals an election to rule for another 5 odd years! A practical joker said that Kenya is unique but these are the kind of uniqueness the country can do without. If wishes were Pajeros, I would wish that Kibaki return to Othaya to retire. That would be a faire deal that would surely leave Kenya in peace! Kibaki is known as General Kiguoya (General coward). Is Kibaki afraid of going into retirement?
MARTHA KARUA (Iron Lady): Is PNU’s “Devil incarnate” in the “politically raped” Kenya and Wananchi have now began to wonder where she came from and how she entered politics. She plays the “Iron Lady” in PNU, is arrogant, assumes hard line positions, is uncompromising and blatantly unrealistic in the face of a calamitous tragedy that precipitated election rigging by PNU thieves. Martha is the “Public face” of both PNU and Kibaki’s illegal Presidency.
Since geezer Kibaki cannot take up the media because of his incoherency, it is Martha who is usually pushed forward to take up the “heavy questions”. With the advantage of a legal background and rank as the “Minister of Justice” in Kibaki’s illegitimate government, she is known to take advantage of anti-imperialist rhetoric to scare Western powers whom, she believes, are meddling in the affairs of Kenya. In State House, it is rumored that Martha once said that PNU will tell the so called Western powers that PNU might have to go the Mugabe way if Wazungu could not understand that a Kahe cannot be allowed to rule Kenya.
When she appeared on BBC Hard Talk program soon after elections were rigged, Martha admitted that she was one of the people who went to pick up the “Presidential certificate” of victory from Kenyatta International Conference Centre, an admission that she was in the “Thick of things” in Kenya election rigging strategy. It is therefore not surprising that she is in the front lines in defending the fake Kibaki Presidency.
The problem now is that she doesn’t understand that PNU will never rule Kenya unilaterally as had been planned because the issue of election rigging will not go away. The protests will not go away if the issue is not settled even in the face of public executions in the streets by police. According to an Editorial in the Nation (19/02/08), a Civil war is waiting on the door if the Annan talks collapse but this is a prospect that does not matter for Karua because of trappings of power.
Lady Martha has repeatedly said that Kibaki won elections and that ODM should go to court to resolve the crisis thereby exposing her lack of understanding in relation to the magnitude of the crisis in Kenya which cannot be resolved unilaterally by either PNU of ODM.
It took the Annan’s team to drive the point home – that Kenya needed a political and not a legal solution. Imagine the kind of justice you would expect in a court packed with Kibaki’s cronies promoted to their positions only two days before elections. That is after the Chief Justice has already sworn in the “President” in a fake ceremony at State House! Back to Karua.
Despite her education in Law, she has refused to recognize the fact that PNU rigged elections thus in the eyes of Kenyans who believe that elections were stolen, Martha emerges as a dirty and deceptive crook who should be expunged from the Ministry of Justice as a matter of urgency and National interest.
JOHN MICHUKI (The Rattle Snake): We should not be talking about this guy because he is the murkiest of them all. With a history of castrating the Mau Mau fighters during the colonial revolution, Michuki is a ruthless tyrant who is believed to be the “Shadow President” currently ruling Kenya through the back door. As a District Officer during the Colonial administration, Michuki learnt the skills of ruthlessness through eye witness accounts on how the colonial administration was dealing with the Mau Mau.
Although he is a Kikuyu himself, his role in castrating the Mau Mau fighters is a pointer that he is ready to do anything to get his way. After the illegal installation of Kibaki as President, it is Michuki who masterminded a ban on live broadcasts by the media while it is him who sent police and GSU to “shoot to kill” ODM youth who were protesting in the streets.
In Kisumu alone, his orders resulted in the execution of over 80 Kenyans with one execution having been captured on video. When it comes to who is who in the “Catalogue of corruption in Kenya”, Michuki is one of the people who tops the list. It is not therefore surprising that he is the “Shadow President”.
In his small brain, Michuki’s working philosophy is that members of the Kikuyu ethnic group “owns Kenya” because they fought the British through the Mau Mau (whose members he castrated), that Kikuyus form the economic back-bone of Kenya’s economy and that by virtue of being the largest ethnic group in Kenya, the leadership of Kenya was bestowed on Wakikuyu by Mumbi, the God of the Agikuyu.
This is the philosophy which drives his thinking and the thinking of others he has managed to indoctrinate. The whole history of Michuki cannot be narrated here. What can be added is that if Kibaki is General Kiguoya and Karua the “Iron Lady”, Michuki is the “Rattle snake” of PNU who has openly promised to bite if he is rattled. Even if it means importing mercenaries to do the dirty work, Michuki will do it.
He is suspected of having been responsible for the raid on the Standard newspaper before elections, an operation in which the Newspaper’s offices was attacked and newspapers destined for circulation set on fire in what became known as the “Raid on the Standard”.
Luckily, the raid was captured on security cameras. Kenya is in trouble because Michuki is in charge of strategy based on a hard line position that might not allow for a lot of compromises. Michuki is worried that in case PNU gives in, they will have to answer for crimes against the Kenyan people.
If there is anybody who will be held responsible for police killings in Kisumu, it is difficult to imagine how Michuki will escape the loop and this is yet another reason that might be driving PNU thieves to continue with irrelevant tough talk when the country has been held hostage after election rigging. Where will Michuki run to when the real hammer of justice eventually falls? If Michuki still had senses, he could have been negotiating his own future after committing crimes against the Kenyan people, not standing on the way of a resolution to the crisis.
Recently, Michuki was admitted to Nairobi hospital after he was allegedly poisoned. Could his alleged poisoning have been the work of a good Samaritan seeking to save Kenya for slipping further into crisis or was it another pure accident? Just like Kibaki, Michuki has outlived his usefulness in Kenyan politics and he needs to enter into retirement, not pulling strings of power after a rigged election.
