After Kibaki assumed power in the 2002 that is when the mountain went to sleep and will not be waking up anytime soon until they are in opposition. This is because they felt wamefika. Nobody dares think beyond the muthamaki in that village as he will be called a traitor. This has led to very serious low levels of intellect, thinking and wisdom never experienced before.
That is why the elites of the mountain are no match to the lakeside chaps where they are forced to think ahead of times due to years in agitation and opposition politics. The likes of Kiraitu, Koigi, Gitobu, Karua , Wanyiri were created due to hardships. Have you watched guest analysts, politicians on Tv from the lake side how they present themselves, articulate their points and also make their counter parts from the mountain look silly?
The other thing that fails the mountain is lack of confidence. I swear these guys have lost it kabisa I dont know why. when was the last time you heard these people in the media, music and other arts apart from their lousy mugithi anthem. Where do akina Khaligraph Jones, King kaka, King Kafu , Vera Sindinya and the likes get their confidence from to fake until they make it? Have you come across a news anchor from the mountain who can spin the debate in their favor? Anne kiguta must be very lonely in those studios full of NASA lining journalist as she try to be neutral. The few who can be of use are just some social bimbos looking for sponsors and cheap fame
I dont blame them but after graduating from campus the Mt graduates quickly start small time business like selling buroti maguta maguta, hardwares, gas and other small ventures in kamukunji market with a hope of striking fortunes which is not bad after all . On the other hand elites from other regions quickly go back to pursue other post graduate certs which qualify them for senior government positions. The current debate is muthaki lacks people in Judiciary, IEBC but how many have applied for those posts from the mountain. How many luos are in the JSC without any one voicing it? what if it was the other way round the hue and cry would be from here to Timbuktu.
The bottom line is some people need to wake up from their slumber
