The day is 4th March 2019 and as usual the Kenyan Political scene is buzzing with a number of happenings. From Car Politics to Hyena Politics, welcome to your daily dose of Top Political happenings in the Country.
CAR POLITICS CONTINUE TO HAUNT RAILA AND RUTO
We Start today’s coverage with Car Politics. Well, we are all aware of the fact that DP William Ruto’s car gift to Kisumu Diocese Archbishop Philip Anyolo was rejected and constanty returned.
The controversy surrounding the returned Vehicle caught up with Ruto who later hit back at Raila for spewing desperate lies.
According to Raila, Ruto’s gift was returned due to the fact that it was bought from proceeds of corruption.
This seemingly angered Ruto who would later call Raila a Magician who believed in Evil Spirits.
Ruto claimed that Raila was against his Empowerment of the Church since he did not believe in God.
His sentiments were echoed by a number of his allies who called on the Opposition Chief to desist from engaging Ruto on useless issues.
IS UHURU TURNING TO A HYENA EATING HIS OWN PEOPLE?
President Uhuru Kenyatta’s latest resolve to fight corruption has not gone well with a number of Politicians especially those allied to DP William Ruto.
The Politicians feel that the renewed wars on corruption are majorly directed towards DP William Ruto’s camp. They have even claimed that the wars are part of President Kenyatta and Raila Odinga’s wider scheme to block Ruto out of the Presidency picture come 2022.
Uhuru even came under scathing attack from two MPs and a governor who asked him to tell Kenyans if he does not want to retire in 2022.
Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa said Uhuru is behaving like a hyena who has turned to feast on his own children.
“When a hyena wants to feast on it’s own child, it claims the child is smelling like a goat and we can see the hyena has started with CS Echesa and others will follow,” Barasa said.
Kapseret’s Oscar Sudi claimed Uhuru and ODM leader Raila Odinga want to use their handshake to block DP William Ruto from ascending to power in 2022.
“I want to tell Raila. We accepted the handshake, but now we know what it meant. Uhuru should tell us what they are scheming with Raila. If he doesn’t want to go home in 2022, let him tell us,” Sudi said.
He said that Rift Valley residents are tired of political schemes behind the handshake. “We are tired and you will get what you are looking for soon. Ruto has his own people and they are not foolish. Ruto has been patient enough,” Sudi said in Kipkenyo, Eldoret.
He said Uhuru and Raila were using the graft war to harass innocent Kenyans, especially those allied to Ruto.
IS IT TIME PRESIDENT KENYATTA DISSOLVED HIS GOVERNMENT?
Is President Uhuru Kenyatta really up to the task of leading the Country to greater heights?
It is no secret that for Kenya to make any meaningful progress, Corruption must first be dealt with accordingly.
The Jubilee administration under the leadership of president Kenyatta has however failed to deal with Corruption. All the President has treated the Country to are side shows and empty talk.
He has however tried to lately improve his socks with a number of arrests being made . A number of corruption scandals have also been unearthed but even at that there is a section of Kenyans feeling that the war on corruption is not fair and is unjustly being directed towards members of a given community.
William Ruto’s allies have been the most affected in President Kenyatta’s renewed fights on corruption with a number of Parastatal heads from the Kalenjin Community being sacked after being embroiled in Corrupt activities.
The latest Dams scandal has agains cast a dark lining on Ruto and his camp with the DP feeling that Investigative agencies are not doing their work as required.
It is for this reason that Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa told Uhuru to dissolve his government and call for fresh elections if he admits that corruption has increased under his leadership.
“If Uhuru agrees with Raila and the liars that billions of shillings have been stolen in the government, then he should dissolve government so that we elect other leaders,” the Kimilili legislator said.
Barasa said Bungoma people did not back Uhuru in the last elections because they liked him.
“We voted for him because of DP William Ruto, but we are now tired because people who were out there are now the ones causing confusion in government.”
The MP said the war on graft was being used to target Ruto allies, but the DP’s supporters are ready to be arrested and prosecuted.
“You can stop anything else including a volcano from erupting but you will not stop the desire of hustlers and poor Kenyans to install William Ruto to State House,” Barasa added.
RAILA ODINGA AND GIDEON MOI’S MEETING CONTINUE TO SEND CHILLS TO RUTO’S CAMP

“You can stop anything else including a volcano from erupting but you will not stop the desire of hustlers and poor Kenyans to install William Ruto to State House,” Barasa added.
The Kimwarere dams scandal has put DP William Ruto on the spot once again. This is after the DP claimed that Investigative agencies are lying to Kenyans on the exact amount of money lost in the scam with Ruto saying the actual amount lost is 7 billion shillings and not 21 billion as said by the DCI.
“The talk about Kimwarer started at the hotel where the duo met,” he said.
The MP called on the National Intelligence Service to investigate Raila and Gideon on what transpired in their meeting.
“What did they discuss and what were they planning? Why did they publish it?” Pkosing said.
The MP castigated Political dynasties for using corruption to gain political mileage for 2022.
RUTO’S LOVE FOR DAMS NOW PUTS HIM TO WAR WITH MUDAVADI
Is Deputy President William Ruto out to hide something with regards to the ongoing probe into the alleged millions lost to the various Dam scandals that have rocked the Nation lately?
Well, Ruto has been on the defensive end with the DP apparently angry with a number of Investigative agencies led by the DCI for failing to conduct proper investigations into a number of scandals that have recently rocked the Country.
The DP has particularly been angered by the fact that the said figures lost in the various Dam scandals have been exaggerated.
For Instance, Ruto insists that only 7 billion was lost in the Arror and Kimwarer dam scandal. This comes even as the DCI insists that the money is 7 billion shillings.
Ruto’s apparent defence of corruption has not gone well with ANC Party leader Musalia Mudavadi who has called out the DP for interfering with the work of Investigative agencies.
According to Mudavadi, Ruto has admitted there is a problem, but is now debating on the quantum of the problem.”
Mudavadi accused Ruto of intimidating DCI George Kinoti by trying to imply he is not doing his job professionally.
“Why not allow the investigative agencies to do their job? Why is DCI George Kinoti and the EACC calling people, demanding documents associated with this project?” he asked. The ANC boss spoke to reporters after a church service at JCC Parklands.
Yesterday, Mudavadi said Ruto’s remarks were a sign that ‘somebody somewhere is beginning to panic’ adding that “by implication, the sentiments are showing that someone doesn’t want the DCI to work independently.”
“We should allow the DCI and the EACC to do their job. They are trained to do it, the politician is trained to talk not do the investigative work. Why are people nervous?” he said.
