First, let me apologize for getting back to you less promptly than the urgency of the matter at hand calls for. I do so because just like justice delayed is justice denied, I consider this late response – a response denied.

Politics is perhaps the only manufacturing plant that never shuts down for annual maintenance, and so are the observers.

Theodore Roosevelt, one time American President, told American diplomats to coo like doves, but carry big sticks.

William Ruto must know that all key players in this process are politicians, and can therefore smell him from miles away. With his mischief afoot, Ruto’s counterparties are keeping him at arm’s length, as he rocks on with his bedfellows- and yes- politics makes strange bedfellows.

When Higher Education Minister William Ruto speaks on the draft constitution, you get the sense that he is former President Daniel Moi clone, a handmaid; or better still, driven more by the desire to sell his “No” position, than to market the contentious issues.

Professor of law, George Luchiri Wajackoyah, finally set foot in Kenya on Sunday, April 25, after nearly two decades of exile. His was a homecoming.

The history of Kenya is characterized by myriad ups and downs. But one thing is constant- the Kikuyu insatiable hunger for political hegemony, which stretches across the nation like a colossus.

The constitution debate has taken an interesting turn. Kenya has now adopted American talking points with some legislators harping “pro-life” sentiments. They even got a boost from some amorphous organization staging a pro-life demonstration.

Three years before the 2007 elections, President Mwai Kibaki’s administration conducted seminars and drills for poll rigging. The machine of choice was the provincial administration in the office of the President.

Wishful thinkers, chewing the proverbial meat of contentment, have been head over heels on blogosphere and e-groups with a somewhat mundane argument, that President Mwai Kibaki won the 2007 elections.
