Kalonzo should not seek President’s help to deal with drama from Mama

If you choose this as a way of turning the heat on the VP, then you must be prepared for drama from Mama. She is nasty politician. You remember before she became an MP she nicknamed her then district officer Dragon?

Actually his name was Teragon. She even threatened to slap him at one time. If Ngilu does not choose to go this way, she may just burst into uncontrollable wailing or worse.

Mr President, you don’t want this kind of drama in that hallowed address or Harambee House, or any other place for that matter. So the best thing to do is to make it clear to all these people that you have no time for siasa za kumalizana because it is anti-development and your be-all and end-all is development.

You are right, Mr President. The Vice-President was for a considerable period of time the Kanu organising secretary. He was weaned on the politics of hounding people out of office and party through well orchestrated and choreographed vilification. Tell him to draw on that era and dig in for his war.

Tell him to take the war to Ukambani. Tell him to be ready for a nasty war in which the kitchen sink and all its dirty contents may land on his head.

But, tell me, Baba wa Taifa, from what I read you were quite diplomatic with the VP. From what I read, you seemed to tell him that he should take up the matter of Ngilu with the Prime Minister.

Was that the easier way out or were you seeking to pour oil on the hot war between your deputy and co-principal? Baba wa Taifa, those two relate to each other the way a snake relates to a mongoose!

Of course, I get the point. If the VP can keep the PM busy in a meaningless war, your colleagues in the Party of National Unity can take advantage of it and organise themselves better to deal with the electoral boundaries commission and other issues.

Of course, the smallness of our politics has its benefits. Look at me; I was forgetting you are a politician.
