The Big News Everybody Missed
Some very strange events took place yesterday in Nairobi.

Kofi Anan went into a meeting with Mwai Kibaki at the president’s office at Harambee house. When they emerged from the meeting it was announced that President Kibaki had completely rejected the power sharing idea floated by the International community to end the political crisis in Kenya.

Everybody seems to have missed that very significant development. Except the razor sharp alert KTN and Standard group folks. Daily Nation which has been carrying some disturbingly bizarre headlines, packaged the news differently and the headline is about Kibaki’s proposals to end the polls crisis. More on why the Nation are behaving the way they are, later in this post.

The significance of this news is that Mwai Kibaki has trashed what the entire International community is saying. The Americans are rich guys but one wonders what was the point of Condi Rice, burning jet fuel all the way to Nairobi to deliver a message that has been totally rejected without any serious consideration.

But even stranger was the reaction of ODM. The silence of the party was deafening. In fact over the last few days ODM has said very little. Why?

One theory is that the party does not want to accused of incitement or to be associated in any way to the violence that is bound to break out when news of Kibaki’s latest stand finally trickles down to the Rift Valley. Another is that they have realized that the best strategy is to led blundering Mwai Kibaki produce the rope himself and proceed to hang himself, which is precisely what is happening currently. It is increasingly clear, as Mutahi Ngunyi so aptly puts it, that this crisis is NOT about 2 people. It is not about Raila and Kibaki. Actually it is about one man. That man is Mwai Kibaki who wields all the power to end the crisis yesterday or last week.

I am glad ODM, courtesy of Anyang Nyongo & Najib Balala finally issued a statement this morning on the 'state of the negotiation"...glad even more that ODM is finally tossing off the blinders & seeing the "crisis" for what it is...PNU procrastination....that's all it is folks ....Kibaki has no intention whasoever to do anything other than sit his fat ugly ass illegally in statehouse while his crazy wifey Lucy massages his bald head when he's on good behaviour & tightens the leash around his neck when he doesn't do as his boss, SHE, tells him to

"A statement from the PPS said on Tuesday that the President was willing to share power with ODM, but the arrangement had to be within the Constitution."

WTF are they talking about? Isn't the constitution and the bridging of it the very essence we are in this debacle?

Let them just tell the kenyans that they don't intend to change the status quo, and we'll see how it goes from there.

The suggestion of Najib Balala, that some region in Kenya will be like Lesotho in South Africa is a grand idea and will support it in a bit.

Its time Kenya belongs to all kenyans and if not the case, CENTRAL PROVINCE will be a new country soon after KOSOVO declares its independence.

May I correct you Kipngetich, Kibaki never said he will share power, he said he has accepted sharing responsibilities which are two different things. It becomes even clear when he said this should be done according to the current constitution and yet the current constitution has concentrated all the powers of the state to the president. This is a clear indication that he is not for power sharing, but with the international community in our side, he has no option, he must share power or else get his ass out of state house.

shared responsibility can mean, i make u the roads minister, u help me run that ministry....but the powers are mine...u can be sacked any minute

Its bitting the bullet . but some due to small academic knowledge they have are thinking delaying tactics has No end..... better someone tell this foolish lawyers that mediation is a matter of give and take........... IT IS NOT LEGAL MATTER TO BE WAITED FOR EXHIBIT FROM A SUSPECT NOR MISSING FILE........ this matter of bigger brains.. nashangaa sana wenzangu when i hear some foolish dudes saying ati tunaenda kufikiria.......... KUFIKIRIA NINI NA MULIIBA KURA....
