A vocal CORD MP in a spat with renowned blogger, Robert Alai, has asserted that the outspoken blogger deserves to die, and not just die but be put down like a vicious dog he is because of his verbal diarrhoea.

Nominated MP Isaac Mwaura

The nominated MP, Isaac Mwaura, in a text message he sent to Alai, said that Robert Alai deserves to die because of what he termed as his malicious attacks and vendetta against him, amongst them, Alai’s assertion that Mwaura was the one behind the ODM chaotic nominations that culminated to the calling off of ODM elections in February this year.

Mwaura spoke a day after renowned Human Rights activist, Dr David Matsanga and TNA insider, Moses Kuria, were allegedly caught red handed planning how to kill Robert Alai for being a critic of the Jubilee Government.

We can authoritatively confirm that CORD Leader and last general elections presidential run up Raila Amolo Odinga is weighing up his political options for 2017 elections. Raila, outspoken leader, was born in 1945, and whose father is former freedom fighter and Preseident Jomo Kenyatta's -President Uhuru's father- confidant and one time vice-president, later foe Jaramogi Oginga Odinga.

Veteran Luo Nyanza political Kingpin Raila Odinga

Already a veteran politician, Raila will be 72 by the next elections and fears are that he may not be in a position to replicate the vibrant and dynamic energy the Kenyan populace is already accustomed to from the current youthful president and its deputy. And with the young elite politicians with CORD affiliate parties already gang up to spearhead  young Turks revolution, Raila Odinga is said to be considering retiring from active politics altogether while his star is still shining bright rather than lose and get kicked out of the political arena by the young Turks. Another factor that has really influenced his consideration is the path taken by his long time ally and key advisor, scholar Prof. Peter Anyang Nyong'o, father to Oscar Academy winner Lupita Nyong'o. Prof. Nyong'o has decided to take a back seat in politics and concentrate on his family affairs, having been in public service for decades, especially now that his daughter is a big Hollywood star and would probably be in dire need of her father's guidance.

As to what the enigmatic leader who is hated and loved in equal measure decides to do, is everyone's guess, given his unpredictable political decisions and turn-arounds; but he will most probably fade off from the political arena sooner than later.

Political nemesis President Uhuru Kenyatta (L) and Raila Odinga (R)

Massive exodus from CORD Coalition to Jubilee seem to have been accelerated by the botched ODM elections at Kasarani. The latest bunch of politicians to jump ship are from the coastal region. They have termed the ODM elections as 'Democracy on Trial'. Ironically, that was Raila Odinga's title to his denunciation speech after he lost the 4th March 2013 elections to Uhuru Kenyatta. Raila termed the elections fraudlent and declared he'd seek legal redress as he felt democracy was on trial.

Sarcastically, the exodus from his party are down to the party's autocracy and dictatorial nature with Raila being accused of high handedness and micromanaging  the party for his own personal gains as opposed to the interests of the whole country. The coastal religion religiously voted for Raila Odinga in 2007 and was one of the epicenters of the Post Election Violence  (PEV). Youths who had sworn allegiance to Raila took to the streets and rioted for weeks in what they claimed that their candidate of choice had been rigged out.

Despite the setback, five years later, the region chose to keep their faith in Raila Odinga and his CORD Coalition carried the day though nationally, he again lost to the current president Uhuru Kenyatta. Their faith seem to have worn out now as they also accuse the coalition's principle leader of opposing each development agenda of the current government for the sake of it and without any fundamental grounds. Some of the projects that the leader has been strongly opposed to are of deep economic importance to the region namely the LAPSSET Corridor project, Ramisi Sugar factory revival and the standard gauge railway line. These projects, once complete, are set to change the fortunes of the region and make it one of the richest in the country.

It is on the back of this that MP Mishi Juma from Mombasa and her Kilifi counterpart Aisha Karisa have jumped into the Jubilee bandwagon. They have sworn to worn with the government to ensure that the projects being undertaken by the government for the welfare of the region are not sabotage and are successful and to the benefit of the people.

A Jubilee government insider has at last revealed their moles in their bitter rivals camp, CORD. Whether the revelation was intentional or erroneous, is yet to be determined.

The said moles are claimed to be the ones responsible for disrupting the ODM elections in Kasarani and the group is said to be made up of well educated young elite politicians in ODM, a party whose patron is Raila Odinga who ran for presidency in 2007 and lost to his bitter rival and perennial nemesis retired President Mwai Kibaki. ODM is one of the main partners in the CORD Coalition, the other being Kalonzo Musyoka's Wiper Party, formerly ODM-K.

It is claimed that a host of leaders elected on CORD ticket in the 4th March election are leaning towards Jubilee. The list includes Nairobi Governor, Dr. Evans Kidero, who being the governor of the capital city is considered to be the most powerful of all governors. Interestingly, Dr. Kidero was conspicuously absent from the ODM elections at Kasarani, feigning unavailability due to a tight schedule.Bitter Jubilee critic and CORD's Ukambani political luminary, Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama, is also said to be warming up to Jubilee and is set to ditch CORD soon. His CORD compatriot and fellow Machakos politician and governor, Dr. Alfred Mutua is said to be a Jubilee sympathiser and politically works very closely with Jubilee than he does CORD or Wiper. Mombasa Governor, another of the strong governors, Ali Hassan Joho is also said to be Jubilee-allied.

The revelation of the by the Jubilee insider was done through social media outlet Facebook, where he posted the names of the said moles, who are believed to be leaders of a wider group within CORD that is allied to Jubilee government. The said Facebook posting of the insider is below:

"In a Jubilee dominated Bunge, there are only two CORD chairmen of committees. One is Adan Keynan. The other is Tawfiq Ababu Namwamba. Vijana wetu. Kazi safi."
