When Uhuru Kenyatta won the Kanu elections in January, last year, he went to slumber, but not Total Man Nicholas Biwott. Uhuru donned the Orange shirt and danced himself lame, the Total Man just watched. Then he fumbled, not sure whether to sing Bado Mapambano or Baba na Mama. By the time he realised that professor of politics and Total Man were dead serious on the party ina wenyewe, not even Kasarani could save him.

Kanu delegates are mercenaries for and on hire. They dutifully attended Total Man’s in Mombasa and Uhuru’s Kasarani meetings for these were pay days. The thugs know it. They waylaid delegates on their way from Mombasa. They were not disappointed.
****
And remaining with matters Kanu. Raila Odinga asks Kenyans to look at the faces of Uhuru and Biwott and decide. The last time Raila spoke of faces, he was dismissing Kalonzo Musyoka’s buoyancy in the opinion polls. So, looks now matter? And why the silence in Narc-Kenya? When florists don’t shoot from the hip, don’t look far. Just know that there is more than meets the eye!

And finally,
This is party crisis season. Ford-Kenya is in turmoil, and things are going kombo kombo for Musikari Kombo, with Soita Shitanda playing a Biwott-like role.
