EXPOSED Uhuru INSULTED Raila in his speech delivered in Gikuyu language

Smarting from the incisive article by David Ndii, the Supreme Court imposed president Kenyatta in demonstration of sinking reality, and having forgotten that his ICC case can be revived any time, was at it again spewing hate speech.

It looked like an Ku Klux Klan rally, held in the dark of night at one of his tribal stronghold. For those who could understand a little Kikuyu, it was clear that Uhuru's abused his immunity to prosecution to propagate what may sow the seeds of 2017 post election.

This is unfathomable for a man who was at the center of ICC investigations and prosecution by ICC Chief Prosecutor. It just shows how "flawed the case became after the elimination of witnesses". But u know what, the law always catches up with serial law breakers. The pattern is that Uhuru will, through his entire life display tribal affinity, and inciting-like warmongering behavior.
My gut feeling is that General Mukabira, is a more lethal version of general Kiguoya before him. Like a snake, he is a danger to peace and stability, rather than its guarantor as bestowed upon him by a settlement of 2013 dispute at the Supreme Court and therefore Constitution, even though not popularly elected.

General Mukabira scandalizingly and belittlingly described Raila as a frequent toilet goer, who, while PM was more bothered about how his toilet looked compared to Kibaki's toilet. Talks like this are interpreted by uneducated village folks as saying that "he should be stoned on sight".

He also abusingly described Raila as a glutton who when you give him Ugali(choice of Ugali coz he is Luo, and Ugali is supposed to be a Luo dish). That when you give Raila Ugali, he will say he wants chapati, and once you serve him the chapati, he asks where the ugali is. In other words, that Raila can eat Ugali and Chapati interchangeably.
Uhuru should introspect and reflect on Ndii's article which made us imagine a Kenya that's failed and balkanized, and I take that article as a clarion call for unity. Anyone who reads the Ndii article should take this as a moment to seek a united Kenya, rather than one where a president spews venom. Kikuyus as businessmen need customers, who are the other 41 tribes. Kikuyus are rich because they have customers in the other 41 tribes, who if they were to boycott their goods, their businesses would collapse. And so we are all, as 42 tribes interdependent, and not independent of each other, as Uhuru, General "Mukabira" would want his tribesmen to believe.

He continued to struggle with explaining that he "defeated" Raila fair and square. Even the Kikuyus didn’t believe him. They know he never won fair and square. I wish he could say this outside his tribal strongholds of say Coast or Maasai land, Kisiiland or Western. But he knows best to only say it infront of his tribal and only true support. Kalenjins only support him because of Ruto. If Ruto was to abandon him, then he would move from a two tribe support president, to a one tribe support.

It's surprising how a frustrated president would resort to a desperate move to incite his tribesmen against a popular leader across the nation. He is jealous that Raila has united this nation, but he should desist from alienating his supporters, and draw them towards the rest of Kenya, by working with Raila, Kalonzo and Wetangula.

Just like Mutahi Ngunyi, Moses Kuria, Seth Odongo and so on were investigated and prosecuted by NCIC and Tobiko, we need to hear Kaparo castigating Uhuru's divisive and tribal rhetoric, and probably writing him a protest letter. The hateful things he said in that video were vile! If unchecked, Uhuru is in the process of grooming another bitter tribalists

I dare the PSCU to release the certified(by UN translators, dont trust police) translation transcripts of that violence coded and cleansing loaded rhetoric, and also the NCIC should move fast and investigate Uhuru before Raila supporters get pissed off and demand an apology. Because Uhuru does need to apologise for saying Raila eats ugali, simply because he is Luo. Uhuru should desist from preying on the prejudices of his tribesmen for the sake of a united Kenya.
