Some people said that the handshake was not going to last. Of course with the state of politics in Kenya i won’t judge you for such compliments. Politicians in Kenya have the ability to camouflage to suit the current wave of politics and this is their survival techniques.
Handshake came as a shock to many Kenyans. It is one of the greatest miracles that has happened this year one can attest.
It’s effect is now being felt every where. All the rogue politicians now want to jump and sail in the handshake boat.Kalonzo is now an errand boy leading the peace convoy in South Sudan. Raila is eating big with the AU as the Infrastructure Developer in Africa.
Musalia Mudavadi has not been left behind, he want a share of the handshake.
Amani party leader Musalia Mudavadi’s meeting with Jubilee Vice chairman and President Uhuru Kenyatta’s confidant David Murathe on Saturday has stirred the political grapevine.
Murathe hosted Mudavadi for more than seven hours at his rural home in Gatanga.
The two attended the burial of renown businessman Muchai Githu in Shomo village, Gatanga constituency, before retreating to Murathe’s home around 5pm.
Mudavadi is reported to have left Murathe’s house after midnight, sparking intense speculation on the mission and substance of their meeting.
Also in the meeting described as “a men-only club” were a few businessmen and influential political operatives who had been invited by Murathe. They included Capt Kungu Muigai, Uhuru’s cousin and de facto spokesman of the Kenyatta family.
Kungu is known to be in the President’s inner circle and is patron of the National Council of Elders and inter-community networking group.
Also present was former Kenya Pipeline and Kenya Volleyball Federation boss Waithaka Kioni.
Yesterday, Murathe played down the meeting and said people should not read too much into it. He told the Star that Mudavadi had shown up for the funeral and he decided to host him since former area MP Peter Kenneth and sitting MP had left for Kitale.
“I was then left with these foreigners who have visited our village and I slaughtered for them as a good host. In fact, I was in China and I brought my trip back by one day to make it for the funeral,” Murathe said.
He added: “I drove from the airport straight to Gatanga. I had no clue that he (Mudavadi) was coming but it is true we spent a lot of time together. You know I went to school with him. Do not read anything into it.”
The funeral service was attended by among others Kenneth, Gatanga MP Nduati Ngugi and Kieni MP Kanini Kega.
DO YOU THINK MUSALIA ALSO WANTS AN ENDORSEMENT?
