Why Musalia hates Sifuna?
The other day Senator Boni Khalwale asked why Mudavadi stays quiet after his ally Agoi was kicked out of Kengen and replaced by a Nandi. It seems Khalwale does not know Mudavadi well.
Mudavadi missed the funerals of Masinde Muliro, Kijana Wamalwa, Shikuku, Jirongo, and Burudi Nabwera. He also skips the funerals of other Luhyas who are not in his political camp. When his personal assistant Kibisu Kabetesi was fired and replaced by a Nandi, Mudavadi said nothing. Just like with Agoi.
This is how he works. When the fight to repeal section 2A and bring multiparty democracy was at its peak, he stuck with Moi and opposed it. As Moi’s finance minister, the national budget was read in Parliament amid total chaos, with punches flying everywhere.
In 2002, while most of the country rejected Moi, Mudavadi followed Moi’s project and supported Uhuru. He had only been Deputy President for three months.
So when people ask why Luhyas do not vote for him, it is not because of blindness or comedy. Voters are not sheep. They do not just wake up and vote for an empty suit. In Luhyaland it is almost impossible to find anything or anyone whose success can be credited to Musalia Mudavadi.
Right now thousands of Kenyans are stuck and dying in the Middle East, Russia, and Ukraine. Yet Mudavadi, as Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs, is busy moving around Luhyaland with Adagala and Farouk Kibet, attacking his own people on behalf of the Nandis.
There is a joke that 2,500 scholarships to Australia passed through the Foreign Affairs desk. All of them went to or were sold to Kales. Not a single Luhya got one.
When Wetang’ula takes his people to get TSC letters, at least they go to his Bukusu community. What happens to Mudavadi’s letters? Maybe he gives them to Sudi and Farouk. Human resources does not want any Luhya to benefit except his own stomach.
I challenge anyone to list even one thing Musalia Mudavadi has done for Western Kenya in the past 35 years he has been in government. Not even a cattle dip.
