The owners of those envelope political parties are pretending not to understand what @rigathi has been saying all along.

He is saying that he won't go into a room of 70 people, all of them "party leaders", each one dragging along a party smaller than rabbit testicles, but each demanding some prime positions in the government to be formed.

That translates to 70 positions signed away to "party leaders" in the mould of @DrAlfredMutua @HonJBMuturi @HonWetangula @HonAmasonKingi @HonMoses_Kuria @MusaliaMudavadi and others, because they "negotiated" as party leaders.

What Gachagua is telling you is that multiparty democracy is meant to be built on the foundation of large political movements, not those village jugs where the party leader is the elder brother of the deputy party leader, while the SG is the local witchdoctor across the village footpath from the party leader's home.

Gachagua is right to state that he will only negotiate with Sifuna and Kalonzo, the leaders of the real three broad formations in the opposition. Those whose parties have nine members and and an office buried deep in their imagination must line up behind one of the three, or find solace in a gathering of envelope parties.

But if everyone walked in waving an A5 envelope as his political party, then proceeded to demand the Ministry of Interior, what nonsense operation would the subsequent government be? And honestly, if Gachagua has asked you to go and find more support then come back and talk, how is that arrogance?

Size does matter, after all.

Even in politics.

Where corrupt starts

[Dennis Ole Itumbi HSC - (Commentary) @_SystemYaFacts]

Edwin Sifuna is net worth between 120M - 400M according to unverified sources.

Presidential campaign in Kenya costs between Ksh6.1 Billion - 15 Billion.

Mnamdanganya Sifuna watoto walale njaa.

He won't even pay for a common hotel meeting for a month.

[James Jimsa @lamesjimsa]

@_SystemYaFacts Tell us why would one use 6 to 15 billion for a job that will earn him less than 200m as cumulative salary for 5yrs. This is where corruption starts.

At least 22 KILLED in horrific BUS-TRUCK COLLISION in Kenya — AP

The crash occurred on a highway stretch linking Nairobi and Mombasa, which officially designated an 'ACCIDENT BLACK SPOT'

Another 17 people were killed on the same highway just three weeks ago

The Pentagon's 1949 war plan against the Soviet Union ended with American troops in Moscow.

Operation Dropshot, approved by the Joint Chiefs of Staff on December 19, 1949, called for 300 atomic bombs on 100 Soviet cities, followed by a ground invasion. The USSR would then be split into four occupation zones, with two US divisions in Moscow and one each in Leningrad, Kiev, Minsk, Murmansk, Gorky and Kuibyshev.

The plans had grown fast. In November 1945, three months after the war ended, US intelligence picked about 20 Soviet cities for atomic strikes. In January 1949, the Trojan plan targeted 70 cities with 133 bombs. Eleven months later, Dropshot needed 300 bombs.

The math changed in August 1949, when the Soviet Union tested its first atomic bomb. By 1957, the year Dropshot expected war, the USSR had the world's first intercontinental ballistic missile. Dropshot stayed on paper.

As a failed president who has destroyed the economy, lost a war, disgraced the United States on the world stage, undermined America's partnerships, imposed reckless and insane tariffs, sold pardons, and normalized public corruption, the 80-year-old grandfather, who has grown crueler with age instead of becoming kinder, now faces what could be a major defeat at the polls, followed by impeachment efforts and sweeping investigations that could expose corruption well into 2028.

He has betrayed virtually everyone who helped him win the presidency. He has betrayed the voters who trusted him, sued taxpayers, attempted to take billions of dollars from them, and made billions through cryptocurrency.

Nothing like this has ever been seen at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

KPC SHARES AND THE MYSTERY INVESTOR: The other week, I was suspended from Parliament for stating the obvious. That the Kenya Pipeline IPO was a failure, subscription being below 3% at the last day of the IPO. And that President William Ruto called the CEOs of NSSF, PSSF, Unclaimed Assets, CPF, and others to risk Pensioners savings against professional advise.

These are the facts:

1. The President called the CEOs to buy KPC shares against the advice from their own professionals. They had to forge minutes of Board meetings and backdate them. All of them are liable.

2. He again called them last week instructing them to sell the shares to a “Private Investor”.

3. They have cumulatively sold 4.5 Billion shares netting approximately Ksh 42Bn. NSSF is yet to exit fully.

4. The exit price was between Ksh 9.02 to Ksh 9.36. The share were sold cum dividend so that the “Private Investor” maximizes benefits.

5. Accounting for brokerage commission that is usually around 1.5%, the entities sold shares at a loss. The loss widens if you account for time value for money. Even fixing the money in the bank could have earned pensioners much more.

6. The so called Private investor is a company that President William Ruto has private interests in. He is among the “Private Foreign Investors”. In other words he took a soft loan from your pensions, you made a loss but he is making money from it.

7. The Investment Bank that handled the transaction is also owned by him. A newly licensed Investment Bank.

8. The transaction is part of fulfilling the conditions Precedent of the Lamu Refinery. The transaction is closely related to the refinery.

9. More KPC shares will be transferred from the Public entities to the so called Private investors.

10. This completes William Ruto’s personal interests in Oil from Upstream (where he is firmly involved in Turkana oil), Mid Stream (As a shareholder of the Refinery) and Downstream (G - G and other oil
Marketers).

The details of the Investment agreement between Dangote East Africa Petroleum Refinery and Kenya would shock everyone.

1. Why is the shareholders register a secret - Because the minority shareholders are led by the President of Kenya.

2. Why is the Investment agreement a secret - because the content is pure abdication of duty and patronage. Among the conditions is that Kenya willl NOT import any products made by the refinery even when the prices are double or triple the market price.

We are African and Africa is our Business..
