Kenyan politics is like a torn
picture and here we piece up for your how it looks. You have of heard the
outcry of Aden Duale about the Waki list. First, know that jubilee is composed
of the Former PNU generals-inner circle and ODM lieutenants. The fact that
Uhuru and Muthaura were very close with the president i only invite a fool to
think that Kibaki received the Waki list and
hid it under Lucy's Pillow without reading the names contained therein. What
Kibaki knew, Uhuru and Muthaura Knew. Therefore, the Uhuru camp knows the names
in the Waki list, so does Aden Duale. why then shout for the making public of
the list? Someone very senior in CORD must be the target. Just the mere
presence of the name in the list is reason enough to shut some 'loud-mouths'
from the opposition camp. Could it be Raila? The selective Ocampo talk that
there was zero talk on Kibaki involvement yet no talk about Raila's participation
may be an indication of his presence in the Waki list and he may be the target
and to put ICC to task as to his exclusion. No sooner had Ocampo mentioned the
Diplomat's pressure than news of a witness withdrawing by swearing an affidavit
to the effect hit the news rooms. This was a witness against Ruto. Ruto's camp
has been alleging fixers from the then PNU camp now absorbed to the Uhuru camp.
let us give Ruto a benefit of doubt. Therefore, the witnesses are still under
the pull-string of the Uhuru camp and can yield to orders from the masters. Is
it that the withdrawal was meant to corroborate the inducement by US-AID with
Ocampo's allegation of Diplomat Pressure with the motive to support the Ruto
case of conspiracy to lock him out of Kenyan politics through the ICC process?
If, Yes, the Ruto case will soon be an egg shell as Uhuru's for the piper tunes
to the piper-payer's pleasure. The US is the first suspect in the Diplomat
pressure saga and they were given away by the 'Choices have consequences'
cliche. The US promised essential contacts approach and Obama shunned his home
during his Africa trip. Prof Nying'uro used to say that 'the president of a superpower
(read Obama) cannot shake hands with an ICC suspect (read Kenyatta 2)!"
Now the US president has invited Uhuru to the US as one of the 47 Africa head
of States. No sooner had the announcement made than Ocampo came with his
revelation. Is it, therefore, that the US knows the Uhuru case was a
fix-strategy gone sour and the case bound to fail hence a sudden U-turn in
inviting Uhuru so that they may not be ashamed of flopped Uhuru case and to
have a standing that they were contacting Uhuru even before the case flopped? Or
is it still US strategy to finish Jubilee by letting one go-Uhuru and locking
the other-Ruto? You can say the Uhuru case is flopping and it will only take
the effeorts of UHURUs camp for Uhuru's case to read either 'DISMISSED' or
'INNOCENT'...Uhuru has dealt with the ICC case politically for it was a case of
International politics while Ruto has dealt with it legally yet it has nothing
to do with the law. The process that took the duo to the hague is Political and
the end must be Political; so play politics Mr. Ruto and remember the father of
Politics 101-Machiavelli when he said,'he who sacrifices what has to be done
for what ought to be done necessarily comes to grief!" Do what has to be
done but you must learn the game from Uhurus camp...and the withdrawal of
witness 323 is a smart move!
