Recently, president Uhuru Kenyatta jetted into Uganda for a three day tour during which he and his team held bilateral discussions with the host nation. Of the many agreements reached in those engagements, the sugar one has apparently generated most concern. It seems to have become a sweet-sour deal for the Jubilee administration. Politicians have passed their verdict on the alleged deal one after the other. Some have raised genuine legitimate issues regarding the issue while others have simply asked questions that can only be termed as moronic and no other way.
Politically, the issue has given the opposition, particularly Cord, something to start working on after seemingly getting destroyed by Obama just before he left the country a few weeks ago. There had been fears that the Jubilee administration was making unfavorable inroads to the rich vote western region and therefore Cord must make maximum use of the issue whether the deal is actually harmful or not. It doesn't matter at all to them whether the poor farmer understands what it is about or doesn't; political gain must be made by all means. Jubilee must be made to lose the gains it had supposedly made in Western Kenya.
And, honestly that's what all this saga is about. It's not about you, the farmer, or you, the consumer. The same politicians who allowed the importation of sugar from Brazil years back are the ones making the loudest noise. Why was such noise not made then? Simple; it was not politically convenient. The very people who own the votes of the region had approved the deal. So, what difference does it make importing sugar from Uganda instead of Brazil? The difference is only economical in my opinion. It's much cheaper to bring sugar from Uganda than from the thousands of miles that Brazil is. It makes economic sense and I want to believe that that was the reasoning behind Uhuru Kenyatta and his team's decision to the deal.
Why then, are politicians so opposed to a deal that first, saves the taxpayer's money and secondly, is similar to the one in place that they had no problem with in the first place? What is the more pertinent question between what makes Kenyan sugar expensive and where we should import from to cater for our huge deficit? Why is it important for the politicians to make it look bad importing from Uganda? Methinks, some if most of the sugar being imported from Brazil belongs to the politicians and trying to shift to Uganda can not be good for their business. It's much easier to smuggle stolen sugar from other nations along the way because of the distance involved in travelling at sea than it would be when dealing with Uganda. Of course they are not going to relent until the deal is revoked. The problems that the sugar industry is facing in Kenya today are purely political. The industry has over the years been used to fund political campaigns and the reason why it's collapsing is because most times such moneys were not refunded. As we speak, rumours have it that certain politicians still owe some of the factories tens of millions of shillings. They haven't paid and I doubt we would have known about it nor would it have been paid if they were in government.
There's only one reason why no one had seemed interested in solving the sugar problem in Kenya until Uhuru Kenyatta embarked on a mission to jumpstart the sector. Its total collapse would make so much economic sense to the businesses of the political cartels in the sector. President Kenyatta himself got the guts to solve the problem because his campaign did not benefit from the merchants. He had his own money for the campaign. That's why they are up in arms. That's the reason they must blackmail the president using the western votes to arm-twist him into submission.
There are more urgent questions that I would love to know the answers to. Why is Kenyan sugar expensive? How possible is it, that Sugar processed in Brazil - thousands of miles away, is transported to Kenya, packaged and yet manages to be cheaper than the one we produce here in Kenya? Why is no one talking about pricing and cost of production. I don't seem to understand how this is possible. While the politicians are busy complaining about the cheap Ugandan sugar and closing their eyes to the one from Brazil (because they own it) the ordinary Kenyan complains about the expensive Kenyan sugar. I have the feeling that the feeling that our sugar is deliberately priced that way in order to allow the cartels to thrive in the business.
A politician at a function recently wondered how we're going to be sure that the sugar we import as pre the deal will be Ugandan. I ask, how sure are we that the one we import today is Brazilian? Do these politicians know something we don't know? Your guess is as good as mine.....
This political nonsense you hear now is not about you the consumer nor about the farmer in the sugar belt. Nay, it's about the politicians, their welfare, their profits and more importantly, their desire for power. The sugar deal is actually not bad for the sugar cane farmers; it's bad for the cartels, for the Brazil sugar importers, for the beneficiaries of campaign funds. This deal is meant to cushion the consumer in the meantime as the government embarks on a mission to increase our capacity to produce more at a cheaper cost.

Raila Odinga: Why he's No Longer Relevant
Now, I have to be quick, I know before his foot soldiers, or do I say fanatics are up in arms against me. There's no doubt that Raila Amollo Odinga alias Agwambo is one of, if not Kenya's most revered politicians the country has had so far. His ability to mobilize both political kingpins and nonentities in "agitation" for whatever he wants is second to none. He possesses a unique and unrivalled political tactical capability and charisma that even when he's not doing anything, his political foes are constantly kept at tiptoe stance knowing not what to expect next from the political monster that is Raila Odinga.
However, in my honest view, the man, with all his abilities and capabilities, charisma and mammoth popularity amongst his supporters, has outlived his relevance in Kenyan politics. Raila is a natural political agitator. He is an opportunist who sees wrongs (whether real or imagined) and makes absolute use of them. He knows that creating a victim mentality in the minds of the populace is the best way to make people rebel against the government. Usually, democratically elected governments do not have bad intentions; what they do is create a bad policy. The intention is always a good one. But when Raila sees a bad policy, instead of criticizing the policy and probably suggesting either a better alternative or an alteration to the bad one to make it better, he almost always tries to make it look like the government actually intended to hurt the citizenry. Not a bad strategy, really, but not in the year 2015.
His politics has mainly revolved around agitating against bad policies and in most cases, he has preferred direct action in the form of protests led by himself most of which have turned violent. In the nineties, Raila Odinga did this kind of politics so well that he, in the end, forced former president Moi to try and absorb, him into KANU in a desperate attempt to neutralize his political venom. Little did he know that the enigma of Kenyan politics had other plans in case things did not go his way. Well, in the end they didn't, and Raila executed his plans to perfection leaving KANU, a shadow of its old self. He managed to convince even the staunchest of Moi's allies to leave KANU aided by the fact that Uhuru Kenyatta, the president's preferred choice at the time was relatively new in politics and the veterans, who included the late Professor George Saitoti, weren't ready to have a political amateur overtake them. Moi had been forced into mistakes uncharacteristic of the self declared professor of politics.
Raila is said to have mobilized people to protest against single party system, oppressive constitutional regime, abuse of human rights, bad governance, et al, in the large parts of final two decades of last century. Credit to him and his comrades in the struggle. Thanks to their escapades, losses of lives aside, we're here.
Now, Raila seems to live in the nineties up until now. After the 2013 elections which many had touted as his last shot at presidency, he embarked on mission to rekindle his quickly dimming political star. He chose to hit the newly elected government left, right and centre. It was corruption on one day and devolution on the other. Barely months into Uhuru Kenyatta's regime he started a campaign calling for national dialogue while setting impossible conditions in his demands. Uhuru chose to ignore him. He then soon after started another campaign called OKOA KENYA. All these actions meant to have him remain politically relevant. Everything culminated in last year's SABASABA rally at Uhuru park which in all fairness did actually make hairs stand on our skin.
These kinds of tactics are what I think is a mistake. In as late as 2014, political protests and possible rioting are completely unacceptable to most Kenyans. Kenya has made great economic strides since the defeat of Kanu by NARC in 2002. Kenya has become a middle income country, and whatever you make of that, the fact is we're not where we were fifteen years ago. An expanding middle class citizenry means that more people are getting busier trying to generate the extra dime for their new lifestyles. This group of people are the majority loanees of banks and other financial institutions. They must pay there loans else.... Stability is very important to them as much as security. They detest protests and riots. They were the most terrified lot in July last year. On the 7th of July, they hid their cars at home, closed their businesses, and held their chests in both wish and prayer, that nothing happened. They sat in front of their Television sets to watch the events. Media houses were even more terrified, the refused to air the events live. They were afraid too. In the end we were all relieved that nothing ugly happened.
At the mention of the name Raila Odinga, a good number of hearts grow cold. The name is almost synonymous to instability hence unacceptable to the middle class. Raila must dissociate himself from violence and instability.
Raila must also wake up to the reality of his opponents. He's facing two of Moi's brightest students. They understand him in and out. He faces a unique combination of political grit and finesse. A graduate of political science, and an approachability of its kind, Uhuru Kenyatta has won the hearts of many who did not support him. Add to that, the versatility of another political Hardman that William Samoei Ruto is, you've got in your hands the best combination there can be.
Raila may have to reconsider his believe in his chances. You cant employ analogue tactics if you want to win a digital battle. Him and his handlers, need to wake up to the realities of our time. Otherwise, he continues remaining irrelevant.

Wilst thou Pardon?
Immense is the love that you and I shared this while, though,
And thou didst show I love so strong and true,
For thou art truely a woman so virtuous,
And from thy well floweth forth true love,
And cometh yonder life meaning in truth,
Thy speech bringeth satisfaction of heart forthwith,
And of soul and of mind and of body,
For mine veins to cool.
I have strode away from thy ways,
And drifted down the mountain,
The mountain that we took oath to climb in oneness,
Mine faith hath shaken so wild,
Mine trust I threw to the dogs,
Mine conscience didst depart from I,
And broke I the pledge so sacred,
And wandered I far off its course,
And now I wonder if thou will pardon,
This wrong so grave.
My worries are born of mine fears,
Wilst thou after thy catch mine word,
Forsake and make I thy adversary?
Will this grow in thee unique hatred for Adams
And brand them thy foes because of me?
Will thou resign of mine mistakes
And put thy trust to the dogs too?
Or will thou pardon mine wrongs
And embrace mine love anew?
And thou didst show I love so strong and true,
For thou art truely a woman so virtuous,
And from thy well floweth forth true love,
And cometh yonder life meaning in truth,
Thy speech bringeth satisfaction of heart forthwith,
And of soul and of mind and of body,
For mine veins to cool.

Miserable Police officers; Poor Security
I have watched it total dismay the happenings of the past year or so as far as security is concerned. I have looked at the surprised faces of the Kenyan people as they stared helplessly at the bloody loss of hundreds of lives - hundreds!!, for heaven's sake - of innocent people. Children have been orphaned, wives widowed, families rendered hopeless, and the nation left bleeding from the wounds of a harsh reality about our limitations.
The journalist has reported, the analyst has passed his opinion, the Kenyan 'Wanjiikus' have opened their mouths in wonder, and the hungry opportunistic politician has seen a beautiful ground on which to do his twist and quickly made good use of it as few others made a plunder of the dance. Amidst all this confusion, few, if any, gave suggestions for the solution to the security situation that triggered it, and in the rare occasion where anyone tried to offer a solution, I must add, it was ridiculously shallowly thought. In my opinion though, and I base my argument on what I have gathered from my numerous interactions with police officers mostly in the lower ranks, the main problem lies in depending on a police service that has been utterly neglected for far too long by all the previous governments. This government looks to follow the same direction.
This has happened in two ways; the police force is an acutely underequipped outfit and in my opinion an embarrassment of a security agency to any government that takes security seriously. It is also a danger to those who are 'unfortunate' enough to work there. Forget about the few thousand vehicles hired for them in the past several months. In a security environment and terrain like the one our police officers work in, and the concomitant challenges thereof require that they have, armored vehicles, fighter aircrafts, modern rifles (M16, M4, FN SCAR, HK416 etc...) enough modern binoculars, enough modern bullet proof vests, night vision equipment, modern surveillance systems and all other operational equipment necessary for effective service delivery. They can not continue using the 1940s G3 and AK47. Let the president hear me shouting at the top of my voice that the solution does not lie in the deployment of our warlike worriors of the Kenya Defense Forces, but lies squarely with equipping our more gentle, friendlier and more intelligent fighters of the police. It is the responsibility of the government to provide security and in this regard, a responsible government would spare no dime to secure its people.
Secondly, and this in my view seemed as though it was a greater impediment to security in my interactions, the police must be paid well. Who does not know that the Kenyan police officers are some of the most poverty stricken (save for the lucky ones who work in the so called "juicy" departments of the service and they are not many) members of the human race around this part of the world? The police business as they say, is a hell of a problem. It is a good deal like politics. It asks for the highest type of men and there is nothing in to attract the highest type of men. Ours does not even have a way of triggering the best out of what we have. Their morale has hit rock bottom. They feel undervalued and underappreciated for what they do. In fact I am not surprised that there are rumors already doing rounds about some of them giving some helpful information to terrorist groups like Al Shabaab. What do you expect a hungry man to do when approached by a criminal who is offering him good cash in exchange for a piece information he is not paid to keep secret? Refuse the money and have his family go hungry and children drop out of school? You must be a big joker to think that way. I'm not trying to justify any rogue police officer who do that; but, let that be a discussion for another day.
The police were supposed to be given some 42% salary increment owed to them since 2010 for instance, where is it? Why are the salaries of the police far below those of the Kenya defense forces as if what they do is less riskier? I am told that president Uhuru Kenyatta while serving as the minister for finance said something in relation to the police officers earning more or the same as the army. They did not like what they allege he said then and they suspect he holds the same view now. Could they be sabotaging security? That is anyone's guess. Moreover, it's now rumored that senior officers from the rank of ASP and above were awarded a 100% salary hike in February which was reportedly backdated to October last year, leaving the juniors to continue wallowing in squalor.
In my regular interactions with my police friends, I came across one who made a statement that left me astonished at how lowly he regarded the job he does. His statement left a bad taste in the mouth. I have heard quite a number of them say they would not like to have any of their children work in the police service, but this one got me thinking. He said "I'd rather my daughter works in a whorehouse than my son in the police service." Imagine what his attitude is like towards his job. Are we really safe?
Personally, I have, many times, no matter how hard I try, failed to understand why the government finds it out of order to harmonize the pay of the police with that of the defense forces and NIS; Why the police don't get the same privileges and allowances as those of the army; why they can not be exempted from certain taxes as a measure of cushioning them against the harsh economic challenges. The nation has made the police feel utterly useless and less valued in the national security system and the inevitable consequence is that they are finally choosing to serve those who pay for what they give - including Al Shabaab. Compare their salaries for example, with that of the boys and girls from rich families at the National Intelligence Service (NIS) who are paid very well because they went to university and studied Veterinary, Botany, or even Applied Chemistry. In any case we know that there are university graduates in the police. You can clearly see why even in the rare occasions when the NIS may provide some intelligence, police would say, "we're not your wheelbarrows."
If we give the police the pay they deserve and privileges and exemptions from tax, will there be dire economic consequences to the nation? I doubt. How much tax do they pay collectively anyway? After all a happy police service will provide a thriving business environment and the economic benefits with be invaluable to the nation in the long term and will compensate the exemptions from tax granted to this very important men and women.
The government must think creatively and look at the bigger picture and the long term advantages of giving value to the work of the police. There are no two ways about it your Excellency (i.e. if you ever read this) and if you wish to solve this problem of security, that's where you must begin. A police service that is silently sabotaging efforts to provide security is more dangerous than any terrorist group or any security agency picketing. Period.

All of us practice tribalism.
There's a very distorted notion, or should I say narrative among Kenyans that tribalism only involves favouring in some way persons from your tribe especially in politics and voting. Nay. Tribalism is far much deeper than we all think and sadly it has eaten deep into our nerves. So much so that even those who make the loudest noises about it seem to be the most affected. It's quite a dynamic subject and requires quite exceptional skills (which I doubt I possess) to properly and exhaustively discuss it. But let me try in as short terms as I can.
A few days ago, I held a discussion with a friend, a very passionate guy, who happens to be a big critic of the current Kenyan government. He's not a person you would ordinarily enjoy holding such debates with especially if you give the slightest indication that you support Uhuru Kenyatta's Jubilee administration. He spoke all manner of vitriol against the regime citing every single case he could his hands, sorry..., his mouth on. I listened reluctantly and thank goodness he finally ran short of examples and started repeating himself and I immediately made sure he realised he was repeating himself.
In all this noise I noticed that he said so many bad things about the Kikuyu community calling them corrupt and branding them tribalists. I asked him why he was not supporting anyone from his tribe. He told me he's not a tribalist. However, on asking him why he doesn't support Uhuru Kenyatta, he said that it's not Kikuyus only that can produce leaders.
Now such is what I call hypocritical criticism of on others. As the Swahili adage goes Nyani haoni kundule (a monkey 🐵 does not see his buttocks). When you are not affected by this disease called tribalism, you refuse to notice what this guy was telling me. It doesn't matter how many presidents Kikuyus produce as long as they are doing the job. My friend thinks that during Kenyatta, Kibaki and now Uhuru's regime, all Kikuyus were presidents and so were Kalenjins during the Moi regime.
This guy and many more Kenyans including most of our leaders, regardless of what you hear them say, know tribalism is bad and they actually hate it. But, the problem is that they have an incomplete view of what it actually is. They hardly know that they are actually suffering from the same disease. They think that when a Kikuyu supports Uhuru Kenyatta or a Luo supports Raila Odinga or a Kalenjin supports Ruto etc, only then does tribalism occur. However, we all know that there are Kikuyus, Lous and Kalenjins who support Uhuru, Odinga or Ruto respectively on the basis of ideas. You can't 'blanketly' brand them tribalists.
Similarly there are people who are not from any of this tribes, for example, but refuse to support Uhuru Kenyatta because he's a Kikuyu or Odinga because he's Luo or Ruto because he's Kalenjin. Their support or lack thereof is based on a certain stereotype they've been made to believe about tribes through our politics. This group, in my opinion suffer from the most chronic and greatly complex form of the disease called tribalism. To me they're like a person who knows the name of a certain poisonous substance but does not know how to identify the substance itself and are hence continuously imbibing the poison. Worse still they don't know that they have a wrong view. They are not ready to accept the correct view either. These are the people who harbour hatred for certain tribes based on whatever stereotypes our politics has pumped into their heads.
This is why I say before you judge others, search your soul. Plant love in your heart and uproot every single seed of hatred. Hate yourself whenever you catch you saying anything against another tribe. See yourself as a Kenyan first and recognize that no one living within Kenya's boundaries deserves to be discriminated against. That's how we can progress. That's why I cry my country.
