Musalia Mudavadi lost to Moses Akaranga for the Sabatia parliamentary seat in 2002 at a time when he was the Vice President of Kenya. This occurred in a Luhya-dominated constituency during the NARC wave, by a coalition that was barely three months old. Mudavadi was last elected in 2007 with just 33,531 votes, while Edwin Sifuna was recently elected Senator of Nairobi—a highly cosmopolitan area—by 716,876 votes. Obviously, Edwin Sifuna is even more popular right now all over Kenya than he was in 2022. I wonder who Mudavadi is to advise Edwin Sifuna, given his corruption cases like Goldenberg and how he has struggled politically over the last two decades.

KANU & KADU were registered in 1960 and KANU won the February 1961 election. NARC was formed in 2002 and won the 2002 general election with a landslide. PNU was formed on 16 September 2007 and it participated in the 27 December 2007 election under Former President Mwai Kibaki.
You'll seldom find a woke capitalist because capitalists understand the concept of cost. No free lunches, that's the baseline of economics. Scarcity is inevitable, that's the stem, how best do we distribute the scarce resources, that's the canopy.
I still think about the guy who pointed out that "the underlying purpose of Al is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth." Rarely have I seen Al described so succinctly.
