By: William Makora
Allow me to be precise and up to the point with truth in this dying moments of electoral campaigns in Kenya. In a sincere observation of the underlying issues; it is clear to all and sundry that Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta of the Jubilee Coalition is set for defeat come March 4th. That is, regretfully, after spending much money, time and human resources in trying to entice the nation to vote for him. That is a bad news for those who lent him faith and good news to those who believed in real reforms.
Uhuru Muigai employed several game schemes in the race, including buying allegiances, but fate seems to resist him violently. He will be exceedingly defeated in the forthcoming presidential elections and the news of the results will make him sick; almost invalid. Here is why:
1. Lack of own national name
a) That Uhuru Muigai lacks personal attribute is a reality that worries the people of Kenya. It cannot be wished away that the majority cannot remember him for anything fundamental to his name except computer errors that stole Kenya’ billions of shillings, the shilling vs dollar forex scandal, betrayal of Musalia Mudavadi and post elections violence.
b) If one removes his father’s name and riches he remains an ordinary poor man without a ground to call any shots. Worse still, his father’s name is a constituent of vices which include murders of promising prominent Kenyans like J.M Kariuki, T.J. Mboya, Pio Gama Pinto, among others, land-grabbing and utter selfishness.
c) He is a tribal host holding his people hostage for helplessness and riding on their back for further dominance while pitting them separately against the entire set of the nation. That is disastrous.
2. Suspicion by core associates
a) Although he tried to acquire a tribal team in Ruto’s Kalenjin community by striking a running-mate deal in the forthcoming elections, the Kalenjin have openly dismissed it in a catchphrase “Achicha Wendi Kityo” simply asking Ruto to go alone. They say the alliance that stemmed from convenience after ICC cases engulfed the two does not address their economic and political interests and Uhuru’s people will never support their quest when time comes.
b) Another fear is bolstered by Francis Kimemia’s and Michael Gichangi’s prevailing maneuvers of impunity. The Kalenjins and others in Uhuru’s team think he will extend his term in disregard of the law and most likely dump Ruto after winning the elections. That will be a terrible part of the scenario in the hold on to power by a selfish community.
The Kalenjins say the alliance that stemmed from convenience after ICC cases engulfed the two does not address their economic and political interests and Uhuru’s people will never support their quest when time comes.
c) Again, the Kalenjins on whom Uhuru banks his hopes fear that Uhuru may renege, like he did with Musalia Mudavadi’s agreement, and give them less than 10% instead of the 50-50 contractual share of the government. This they argue has a history backdating to the day of independence when J. Oginga Odinga gave Kenyatta power but he soon turned against, and detained, him for asking him not to grab lands. Mwai Kibaki also repeated it against Raila Odinga ten years ago. It is easy for Uhuru to begin appointments unilaterally and when Ruto questions it a junior Kikuyu replies him superciliously. That will deal their deal a blow as Kenyans sit watching.
3. Insensitivity to Kenyans’ future welfare, especially, in the face of sanctions
a) Following declaration of straining of relationships with development partners in case Uhuru forms the next government; Kenyans are skeptic about making him their leader, especially after he failed to clarify in a presidential debate what he would do to alleviate the disaster. He knows it but hides it.
b) Again in a deceitful manifesto, Uhuru (like former President Moi) has inserted and stressed that he will do business with Kenya by selling Kenyatta family’s milk to all local families through a primary schools milk program. That is mischievous and corrupt. Majority of citizens are lean ‘cows’ and milking them further by unscrupulous means is unacceptable. The people have seen his juvenile ideas and are not amused at all.
Together with other reasons which include apparent State House machinery acting in Uhuru’s aid in the shadow of Mwai Kibaki, the proprietor of Project Uhuru the Tribesman, Kenyans have vowed to resist and vote him out of the contest in the coming elections. That will be a reward for Kenya by Kenyans.
I wonder whether there are Kenyans who prefer carrying notes in a basket like in Zimbabwe when they go to by a tooth paste actually costing 70/= today. That is not the path we want to take.
I remember his people crying aloud: "If you allow Musalia Mudavadi to take leadership we will leave you!" What a pity!
Who sent u? Be a man enough n’ do s,thing constructive with ur time. Let’s wait for 4th march. Spoiler.
I will not vote Uhuru,but get your facts straight.In Zimbabwe they currently use the United States of America Dollar. (USD)
Get your facts straight before you open your big mouth!!!
surely nobody knows if he (Uhuru)can be defeated ONLY ballot box will answer.
Makora is very unsincere to Kenya
Kalenjins have said Uhuruto tosha , never be cheated.. Folow the History, there are only three tribes who decide the presidency i.e Luo, Kalenjins and Kikiuyu. and this is because the all put their votes in one basket once they make decision. so where any two meets they will win. In 2002 , kalenjins were left out alone, in 2007 ,kikuyus were left out, in 2013, luos are left out.
Now it is very clear the next president is Kenyatta. U may not like it but that is a fact.
Statistic shows that Raila will get 38% and Uhuru gets 58 % out of 70% voter tun out.
u r right
This is an educative article. I am humbled. Most Kenyans have not measured the magnitude of this elections. There are very many interested groups and we should vote wisely this elections time.
It's my hope that we see him for who he really is and not only deny him the presidency but ensure pple of his caliber are never on our ballot paper ever again.
Edwin i hop u now understand why our only hope is the supreme court.
If your campaign is tribal; it is madness to expect the Embu, Kikuyu, Meru, Kamba to vote against each other for the Luo.
If your campaign is rich against poor; you reasonably can expect the poor Embu, Kikuyu, Meru, Kamba, Luo to vote with you against the rich Embu, Kikuyu, Meru, Kamba, Luo.
Of course, if u campaign against the rich, it helps not to fly in by helicopter.
william makora…you're just a jealous kisii hating on uhuru just because you cant have what he has. shame on you!!
Mercy it high time we got out of our tribal cocoons and understand the realities………
work hard for what you want and stop envying and feeling jealous..try and motivate yourself with other people and stop being whoever
wambui he dosent hate uhuru check your sentence jealous kisii ??he's just right??
Guys wait for 4th march and by 5 or 6th march will have all answers for your comments and views.
Could this be true?
Interesting…
I too think its time for a kikuyu to support a candidate 4rm another tribe… not us supporting them all yhe time, they r being so selfish.
@Benjamin is it a must u be supported by kikuyu, cant u support ur own candidate, u see u dont believe in urselfs? i pity u
I too think its time for a kikuyu to support a candidate 4rm another tribe… not us supporting them all yhe time, they r being so selfish.
No one needs your views you can as well publish a book who cares y not talk of what raila has done? Kkv and the maize scandal?
kenyans have the RIGHT to elect anybody of their choice but let them know that having the RIGHT to elect someone to a certain POST does not mean that the person is RIGHT FOR THE POST.UHURU LIKE ANY OF THEM CANNOT STICK TO HIS WORDS.THINK TWICE ON THIS………..
Stop spreading hatred.we dont need a lecture from you. Leave our president to be alone.
tel them Jose!
wasapere cannot suport others.forget about it.dont even bring it up.vote peacefuly on 4th.wacha kayamba!ati our president to b.KENYAs.not kikuyus
u dont av 2publish ua dirty views here. u seem 2b a spoiler onl spreading hatred,negative ethnicity n al sorts of vices. keep ua rot 2uaself n dnt vote 4 UK. hw cn u claim 2know who wl win n who 2luz?
uhuru will win in first round ,lets wait in the ballot.
stereotypes…are u GOD 2 tell us wat will happen.let the people of kenya do their decision nd xtop manipulating them.
March 4th is only days away…lets wait n c
If am a Maasai or a Kikuyu or Kamba, why are u so worried about my vote? And if u r, then stop putting me in boxes and look out for what I need.
Frame it differently and say why your preffered is going to pass.Why bother if uhuru will fail if he aint your candidate.
really simple, if am in kibra, who is going to provide sanitation, not what tribe. if matutu in Nairobi, who is safe drive, not tribe, if food, who is not famine, not tribe.
cz they already know Uhuru is the next president jst that it is so hard for it to stick in theire heads
washenzi wakubwa nyie. its not only kikuyus who support uk. he has support across board
ha,ha,haaa! whoever started this conversation should not have been so biased,its ok to know uhuru for only his not so good side everyone has one,darker than what you are trying to paint out,its all good,am sur some blog somewea is trashing raila,or dida or whoever,LET THE BALLOT BOX DECIDE,GO VOTE STOP HATING! YOU ARE ONLY MAKING THE GUY MORE POPULAR!
Whatever any one says i as a voter have my reasons to vote for whoever i choose. My vote my decision. And just so u shuld knw,whether Raila or any other person takes it,I will not have put them there, my president still remains to be Uhuru Kenyatta. U can as we chew a gum and hung urself with it!
Makora’s article is pure propaganda and witch-hunting that invites pity rather than rational intellectual and political dialogues. It is unfortunate that we still have people like him who in excessive zeal to sell their political idols ends up discrediting others with impunity and abandon. Who among the kalenjins said “achicha wendi kityo”? Did that come from their entire community or some few disgruntled elements. Makora and his associates will be in for a rude shock come Monday 4th March because UhuRuto will win in the first round.
Mbosire. It his God through his mercy who appoint a leader he want to reign with in every Nation in the word and you can not dictate Him whom he should appoint basing on tribal line. Stop sawing discord to the hearts of 40 millions kenyas. Spear us this round and u will be rewarded accordingly.
U r very right uk is one that u cant trust even to himself ,so the only advice im giving my friend Ruto watchout coz wether he wins or looses ull see fire so pliz pray hard for u to have abreakthru after election
Im proud of uhuru being a 4th kenya prezo bt afraid of sanction. politely think of this and compare with zibambwe among others countries.
Am going to tell you something for free. THE TYRANNY OF NUMBERS IS A MYTH , and is just meant to do that: TYRANNIZE KENYANS into believing the big fat lie that Jubilee has numbers. I am going to do this step by step because some of you are mathematically challenged.
1. Central Province 2,190, 477 2. Nyanza Province 1,954,756 Net effect (+) 235,721
3. Eastern(Meru,Embu) 866,329 3. Eastern Kamba 1,069,529 (-) 324,624
4. R.valley (Kalenjin) 1,531,209 4.R.Valley (Kikuyu) 866,146 (+)2,397,355
The above figures are absolute numbers for kikuyu and kalenjin votes based on the assumption that all kikuyus and kalenjins are voting Jubilee and that Peter Kenneth & Martha Karua are getting o votes, Secondly it is assumed that even in Nakuru, naivasha, Gilgil and Uasin Gishu there are no Luos, Luhyas, Kambas, Kisiis etc and that all the youths in central province will be sober enough to vote (hahaha…. another lie)
So far, the net effect is 2,308,452 for Jubilee. But within the Rift valley we have Trans Nzoia, Turkana, samburu which are leaning towards CORD, for this purpose, I will call them hanging votes. Total hanging votes in R.Valley 976,498. In order to cover eastern we have 157,025 for Marsabit & Isiolo votes also hanging. I hope we are still together so far.
5. Western (Jubilee-0) CORD Gets 69% 990,141 votes the rest goes to Madvd.(-)990,141
6. Coast Province CORD Gets 70% 814,858 Jubilee gets 20% 232,816 (-)582,042
7. North Easter Cord 60% 208,474 Jubilee gets 30% 104237 (-)104,237
8. Nairobi CORD 60%(Luo,luhya,kamba,kisii) gets 1,067,342 35% 711561 (-)355,781
These so far these gives you a net negative effect of 2,032,452 votes against Jubilee
So far from earlier Jubilee +ve of 2,308,452 – 2,032,201 (above) Jubilee is leading by 276,251. We had hanging votes from R.Valley (Trans Nzoia, Samburu, Turkana, Narok and Kajiado) totaling 976,498 Secondly we have 157,025 from Eastern Province (Marsabit & Isiolo. Kindly note that the above “hanging votes” are 1,133,523. Again I will point out this for free, CORD is leading in the hanging counties, especially trans Nzoia (largely bukusu), turkana and samburu.
Do you still believe in the Tyranny of Numbers????

Dream on. It is good for your soul. On Monday the 4th, you wake up to the new Kenya where effort is rewarded, where thoughtless propaganda and vile incitement of brother against brother will be History
its not bad to dream. but kam 4th march u will c the reality man
I feel so sad for the one who wrote this..these are the kind of people who think that what they believe should be in every ones mind..am happy you know that He will win the elections..all you need to do is accept the facts..that's all.
One more comment. For the fact that Uhuru knows quite well what will befall Kenyans if he reins on power as an ICC inductee yet he proceeds to buy poor Kenyans' mind asking to be swayed to the throne indicates his insensitivity to the people of Kenya. The most honorable and moral thing he ought to have done was not to offer his candidature for the highest seat in the land till he is cleared. He is therefor quite unsuitable to be a leader of any sort of a position including position.

Elections are won And lost that’s why we have competeing candidates . We just blog And insult each others choice but I saw Raila defending uhuru on land during the debate coz they belong in the same class . None of them will give wountiini you fools but they will take care of each other . Remember uhuru’s father used to call Raila’s father a mate . Go vote And return to your daily Job . Whoever wins we are doomed. I have gone through both parties manifesto And done the mathematics And there is zero
ma mbwa
Kenyans are funny… after 4th we will all remain kenyans. If you got no food u’ll remain hungry. Vote and get back to work non of these candidates has solutions you
kiuks likes only kiuks.others forget it.mnadanganyika.theyl nver see othrs and thts tht.
wasapere ni WASAPERE.wts the meaning of this (aduwanyba?)ask uaselves.
not a mature person can speak like that…..
we don't need to use dirty language in support of any candidate. it only shows how unreasonable, insensitive, immature we are. let us move to doing mature politics. it makes me sad when we abuse one another for people who will never put food on your table. whether you vote uhuru, raila, PK, ole matope, dida, or whoever none will put food on your table. you will have to toil and moil to make ends meet.those who use abusive language are the very people who are prepared to cause violence. STYLE UP KENYANS.
Matamu sactions will directly deny us food
Kenya is for kenyans,let the people decide.Anyway you should know that RAILA IS A REFORMER WHILE RUTO IS A FASCIST
abdul.kenyans dont want nonsense we are adults thats why we have I.D CARDSdont assume u will change anyone mind.labda mtoto
kwani uhuru akishida u will commit suicide?…its even better we dont need immature people in this kenya
u don't need to be a son or daughter of prominent persons to lead kenya. ati u remove the kenyatta name. this is uncouth of your article.
Oky this is crazy? What is tha name of your coutry??? And add tta yah i think you should know tha national anthem vote and wait pis 2 na kuku Bari Ausio kenyanan UHURU IS THA WINNER. Wait tha ballot bratha
The writer of this article has very good points. Personally i dont think uhuru deserves the presidency and kenyans will be very stupid in my eyes if he wins. The man is a selfish rich man who cares nothing about all of us but just wants to evade the court case he has. Vote wisely my friends especially my bros and sisters from central, you are so blinded and narrow minded that you would even vote for satan to rule the worldd if he was from your tribe.
if he wwins go and kill urself…furthermore no one needs u
Why don't each one of yu arguing here demonstrate your feelings on Monday by voting in your preferred person, leave the rest to IEBC.
Mr prophet, am sorry shock wil land on u.
I think you are not kenyanan boy vote and wait 4 UHURU 2 be A PRESIDENT BOY CHILL KENYA iko Na KENYATTA

Makori, did you get your vote after you told me you will never vote? how are you originating ans making comments on your crap? lets meet on monday at the ballot. but all said and done, we shall still be kenyans on March 5th and beyound.

This is an anti-Uhuru page ati 'Kenya-today'? Which kenya?
We r one pple, one Kenya n let us remain united. It's a fact dat we nid change in our country n RAO is de only man who hv shown dat Kenya is a one Nation. Ukweli upo J.Odiga fought 4 realise of J. Kenyatta n RAO said kibaki tosha. Nw we Kenyans say RAO tosha n may GOD approve it.
Kenyans , vote wisely considering the economy of the country, the peace of the nation, the IDPS, otherwise all this will come back to you.It will be I wish I knew.

I have read with amassement how below ‘ordinary wananchi’ – so to say coz that is what we are: are hurling insults at each other! Style up! It is late in the day to do so with such emotions. As one put it there is no single candidate who will put ugali on your table. On the 5th we will still be working regardless of the result. Please shut up, wake up early in the morning and vote for your favourite candidate. If he/she wins fair enough. Some of us are old enough to to advise that we persevered the MOI ”error” for 24 year and have lived to tell a story! I do not think we will have a despot like him ever. Wish all the hatemongers luck! Poor people like majority of the above contributers’ tribe is poverty!
On 4th, there is only one possible outcome: Uhuru wins the presidency. The numbers: Uhuru 51%, Raila – 43% MM-4%, others-2%. Cram these figures carefully, never say you didn’t know.
UKWELI BILA NGUO.
U GUYS, ur the most pple affected by manutrion of naivity, we r in a reformed era uhuruto has demonstrated a vry good picture and by the way these guys asked 4 forgiveness and i forgave them, how hard is u to change ua altitude? blessed is the nation that declares the lord their God. and so they did am vry hppy 2 knw u hav power only on ua own vote,and by the look of things ua conscience is leaving u, so take care, change from world of imagination to world of reality. thanks Wambui
UHURU + RAILA + MUDAVADI + Nameit the r all = 2 KEEEEEEEEEEEEENYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAA
Come 4th Uhuru will be our president, and the analogs will be sent home to retire, I pity you.

Kenyans must open their eyez n bring 2 an end dominatns frm certain grps,diz iz de time given 2 kenyans 2 make diz country a nation 4 all.REM. God has apointed a leader n thru o ur votes let’s all reform our loving kenya.
Such sentiments you have made are very detrimental because you are causing ungrounded allegations. Believe me or not you will be ashamed I mean totally ashamed come march 5th when Uhuru will be the winning candidate.
In kenya we want a person who knows the value of lands. We can trust our lands to a person who has lands not a lazy landless begger who is aiming at introducing “Ujamaa”
village system in kenya. That is totally unacceptable, it is a sign of laziness, a retrogressive idea,aimed at ambitting our progressive ideas, “remember you must eat your sweat”. If that is what you want you can gather your wife and join Railas and dual ujamaa village and then during the next election after five years we shall evaluate your ujamaa progress.
PRAYER “GOD HELP US KENYANS FOR FAIR AND PEACEFUL ELECTION SO AS TO ASHAME THE DEVIL OF WARS”
I am not kenyan but I lived in that countryand I love it. Uhuru will win because he connects better with people and he understands the badics of economy. Raila is a good man but his body language portrays him as arrogant and out of touch.In politics and in life in general, perceptions are everything.
Ruto is a very smart, charming politician while Kalonzo appears combative and on the defensive.
To me this is a clash of personalities, not tribes.
how does it feel to eat the humble pie? That the mistake most people make. instead of selling your policies, you attack your competition without tangible facts, and that my brothers and sisters is where you lost the neutral vote which would have won you the presidency.
he made it. believe me or not
cogratulation uhuru kenyatta God said it to Rev Edward Mwai Jesus winner ministry Roysabu kenya will be lead by God kingdom seekers you atteded prayers to seek the face of God hence amazing winning keep listening to the voice God as you make your decision to lead this country people have prayed and fasted for you dont be shaken by voices of hungry and thirsty hyenas
numbers dont cheat but opinion polls do. long live our prezzo we will not stop praying for u
