Where the Hell is Moses Kuria?

It seems Moses Kuria, the man of many portfolios, embarked on a whirlwind adventure through the halls of government, only to find himself in a comedic conundrum. Starting off strong as the Cabinet Secretary for Investments, Trade, and Industry, he was the talk of the town. But alas, fate had other plans. In a twist fit for a sitcom, Kuria found himself shuffled over to the Public Service portfolio faster than you can say "bureaucratic shuffle". Then, the plot thickened! In a classic case of diplomatic drama, the US Trade Representative, Katherine Tai, decided to give Kuria a cold shoulder after cancelling not one, but two meetings with him. The reason? His "foul mouth". Oh, the irony! It seems even the most seasoned politicians can't escape the wrath of a sharp tongue. Since then, Kuria has seemingly vanished into thin air, keeping a low profile that would make even Bigfoot jealous. Rumour has it he's taken up residence in a cozy cave somewhere, pondering th

Ngunyi "predicted" Kenyan anarchy

The signs were there all along, folks. Mutahi Ngunyi, a key Kibaki advisor and Sunday Nation columnist, two years ago chillingly but accurately "predicted" that in the event of losing an election, Kibaki would not hand over power peacefully.

It now transpires that the prognostication was the cornerstone of the "Kibaki Tena" campaign, and Ngunyi was just letting us in on the strategy.

In the face of a manifest Parliamentary minority, in fact the smallest in Kenyan history, five questions linger as Kibaki gobsmackingly and obdurately elbows himself to the presidency: was it worth it to blatantly steal the 1.3 million votes? Why is it so urgent that Kibaki returns to State House? Is Kibaki's return to State House an effort to protect Moi, seeing as Moi sunk Kshs. 3 billion of "his own" money into the star-crossed re-election bid? Who else is Kibaki's trying to protect? Is Kibaki's intransigence worth all the Kenyan lives being lost?

In the end, only Kibaki can save Kenya. So please do what is right, Mr. Kibaki, and step aside to allow for an independent audit of the presidential results, because it is clear that there is precious little you can do to salvage your Parliamentary predicament, and, ostensibly, it is well-nigh impossible for you to concede that you lost an election which in reality you did lose by a landslide.
