Upcoming LMM NDC on 13th is like Democratic party National Convention at which party unveils its presidential candidate after primaries.Its usually punctuated by colour,pomp & pageantry.The candidate expouses his summarised vision. No excuse for lack of summarised simple clarity
Mudavadi couldn't run a party because he says it's too expensive. What he didn't add is that he has no supporters,so he had to fund the party directly.A party is not run by the party leader.It's like a members club that is run by members subscriptions.

Sifuna has not assumed the Presidency, and has been a Senator for only 4 years, so the charlatanism and demagoguery you are referring to only applies to Kasongo who has been in politics for 34 years.
Sifuna has promised nothing but the following values: Fidelity to the Constitution, Constitutionalism, Adherence to the Rule of Law and Zero-tolerance to Corruption.
Kasongo holds no such values and that is why you are suffering.
Jeff Koinange must be really bewildered at Malala referring to him as the dinosaur of media.Jeff worked for CNN during Larry King's time.King was like his grandfather.Even then people like Wolfwitzer and Amanpuor are old people but gems of media held in high respect.
Good chemistry teacher who posts straight"As"has competence in delivering results in prescribed manner.He's no capacity to design &manage the prescription.Promote him to h/teacher& he's like fish out of water.Matiang'i is bewildered that cleaning up exams isn't positive attribute

Jomo had his faults, but the one fatal mistake was appointing Moi as his assistant, because the man from Sacho ended up pushing a stick deep up our ginene. The man destroyed the functional country he inherited in every way possible.
Moi killed meritocracy in the civil service by populating it with members of his tribe.
Moi destroyed the educational system and replaced it with the 8-4-4 mongrel which has birthed another mongrel, CBC.
He caused massive brain-drain of top professionals, professors & lecturers into exile, which Kibaki tried to correct when he came into power.
Moi destroyed our higher education & tertiary system that allowed technical schools to produce hands-on graduates and began the culture of political patronage in education, by appointing political professors who went on to destroy our Universities.
As for how to destroy the economy, he mentored the son of Kamagut how to loot thru YK 92, how to rig elections and state capture in goldenberg.
Kenyans are slowly moving from unworkable tribal mobilisation to true nation- state tribe should not mobilisation but thro' soon to be unworkable mobilisation-bigger ethno groupings-Bantu vs Cushites &Nilotes.Within Bantu there is a fight btwn Western axis& Central/Eastern axis.
Affordable housing thro' levies &fertilizer subsidies thro' taxes aren't meant to be for eternity.Effective subsidies are meant to mitigate market prices& affect them in the short run or achieve intended objectives &stopped.AH is either meant to affect mortgage rates or rent.
Every elections produces nearly a tie.Testament that Kenya is a country of minorities.No tribe or 2 w/out state resources can win on their own.Wantam&Tutam the 2monikas going into elections is sign that Kenya is ripe for 2-strong parties set up.Whats missing is ideology
Kalonzo is a good man.But his best days are likely behind him.When Kalonzo first joined parliament Ruto was in form 5 or 6.Well,he has never held executive position you'd say.Kenya's executive position is held thro' elections.His electability was tested in 2007. It wasn't stellar
The quality of education has profound effect on downstream education output.But it does not completely diminish an ecosystem created by propensity for regenerative learning.Thats why despite epileptic education system in Kenya we still have some of the finest outputs here & there
Cardinal Otunga respected separation of state& religion,he was also more accommodating of non Catholic Moi.Successive Catholic heads have been lenient on Catholic presidents looking the other way when the're transgressions.Non Catholic Ruto occasionally comes in their crosshairs.
Richard Onyonka:Son of urbane,suave& sophisticated Dr.Zachary Onyonka,senior minister in Moi's gov't.In 90s Richard should've been untouchable royalty.But in '92 he found himself in jail for espousing leftist ideas.Ever since he's chosen anti-estabishment path

Our Party slogan is the best out of the rest, Linda Mwananchi Linda Kenya, Linda Kenya Linda Mwananchi.
Term ni moja, Team ni moja, chama ni LMM na Rais ni mjamo H.E Edwin Sifuna.
Democracy and equity are indeed a farce.Since Statesman Cleisthenes first toyed with idea it has gone through several mutations including Karl Marx ,Lenin & Engels variants.But its all impractical abstract thing as Deng Xiopeng realised.Only Darwin came close to it practically.

Yesterday was a big day for us, our Party leader & Presidential candidate H.E Edwin Watenya Sifuna unveiled our party HQ & Secretariat.
Our SG @CaroliOmondi also shared our ideology as a party- The Social Market Economy.
So, what does a Social Market Economy mean to the ordinary Mwananchi?
An economy must do more than generate wealth. It must create opportunity, reward hard work, protect human dignity and ensure that prosperity is shared.
It means an economy where individual effort, innovation, enterprise and hard work are rewarded & where economic freedom goes hand in hand with social responsibility.
It means genuine competition, where businesses succeed because they offer better products, services and value, not because they enjoy political connections, unfair privileges or monopolistic control.
What does economic growth mean to a young person who cannot find a job? What does a thriving business sector mean to a small entrepreneur who cannot access affordable financing or compete fairly? What does national prosperity mean to a family struggling with the cost of basic necessities?
This philosophy connects directly with Article 10 of our Constitution, which sets out the national values and principles of governance that bind State organs, State officers, public officers and all persons when applying or interpreting the Constitution, making laws or implementing public policy.
Among these values are the rule of law, democracy, public participation, human dignity, equity, social justice, inclusiveness, equality, human rights and protection of the marginalised.
For the Mwananchi, this should translate into:
⏭️Fair opportunities for people to start and grow businesses.
⏭️A competitive economy that rewards innovation, productivity and genuine performance.
⏭️Policies that support workers, entrepreneurs and local industries.
⏭️Responsible regulation that prevents monopolies and unfair market practices.
⏭️Economic growth that improves livelihoods and reduces inequality.
⏭️Public institutions that uphold fairness, accountability and the rule of law.
The Social Market Economy recognises two important truths: freedom without responsibility can create inequality, while social justice without economic opportunity cannot sustainably create prosperity.
The conversation, therefore, is about finding the balance between economic freedom and social responsibility.
Mbele Kuzuri tena sana!
