The Prime Minister’s visit to the East couldn't come at a
better time than it did. Miguna Miguna [a former aide to the prime minister
turned foe] had just released an explosive book (Peeling back the Mask-A Quest
for Justice in Kenya). The usually calm and collected office of the primemister had been caught napping and needed some time to realign themselves and
the FOCAC meeting in China offered that chance!
What was interesting to note was NOT the Miguna debacle
unfolding [you could say still unfolding because the man is back into the
country] BUT what ‘really’ transpired in China. The Prime minister through the
office of the Prime Minster Press Service [PMPS] has its own account of what
happened and was eager to paint a picture of the prime minister socializing
with the Chinese elites and football stars [Drogba & Anelka]. Back here it
is an open secret that the PM loves football and calls the shots in Gor Mahia
FC. So the timings of these photo ops were NOT coincidental.

The Chinese might have known this and to play ball into the
prime ministers court organized for these photo ops for the prime minister. However, what we the public
we’re NOT told is if there we’re any backdoor negotiations that the Chinese had
with the PM. Currently, the PM is the man to beat in the next year’s elections
and the Chinese having some massive investments in this region would want to
secure their investments should the PM ascend to the presidency. So what
happened in China leaves more to be desired and the PM’s office has NOT been open
on what really transpired in China.
The Prime Minister has been known to have leanings in the
west while the president and his men are known to have a soft spot for
the East. Therefore, months ahead we will witness a lot of activity in Kenya as different countries try to secure their interests in Kenya.
