Political analyst Herman Manyora has questioned Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli over his prophecies, all of whom he believes have come to pass.

The latest was about Imran Okoth’s win in the Kibra poll, which he made about a fortnight ago, during an interview on Citizen TV’s JKL Show.

In the prediction, he said that Imran, of the ODM party, will have won by 10 am, beating among others, McDonald Mariga of the Jubilee Party.

Manyora now says that this should serve as a warning to Deputy President William Ruto, considering that Atwoli has since prophesied that he will never be president.

This comes at a time when the DP is warming up for the 2022 general elections, and Manyora is of the view that he should bail himself out.

Speaking on Saturday, he pointed out that given that all of his other prophesies have materialized, including the President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga truce, the DP should consider having the prophecy on his bid undone.

“For William Samoei Ruto, Atwoli says you will never be President. Look for him ameze hiyo mate (so that he can swallow that saliva),” he advised, on his “Take It or Leave It” political analysis you tube channel.

He also cautioned the trade unionist against going around cursing people, stressing on the need for him to be very careful with what he says to avoid doing bad to others.

“This Atwoli and his prophesies; he talked of the handshake and it came. Atwoli with your prophesies and curses be careful. You said Echesa (former Sports Cabinet Secretary Rashid Echesa) will be sacked and he was sacked. Kwani wewe Atwoli uko namna gani (how were you made?),” he added.

Atwoli has also said that the DP will not only not be the president, but will not even be in the presidential ballot, and has also claimed that there will be a referendum before 2022.

According to him, President Uhuru Kenyatta will stay in power post-2022.

Citizen TV’s renown journalist Hussein Mohamed on Friday morning left many of his fans crying when he announced that he was quitting the media house after a successful 10 years journey at Royal Media services.

While not revealing where he was heading to, Hussein said that he has decided to take a break after October to concentrate on other life matters.

His fans, led by renown political analyst Herman Manyora have been heartbroken, with them expressing their discomfort with Hussein’s departure.

Manyora, while responding to Hussein’s tweet asked him not to leave.

Many other Kenyans have also expressed their discomfort, with some saying that they will miss his interviews with deputy president William Ruto.

Some however have bid him farewell, wishing him all the best with some making speculations on his next destination. Could he be headed to Aljazeera?

Well, here are some of the reactions.

In 2007, he got to parliament as Makadara Member of Parliament. In 2013, he strongly came as a Nairobi County senator and in 2017, he jumped higher to clinch the Nairobi gubernatorial seat.

From the trend, governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko has not vied for the same seat twice. Will he try it for the first time in 2022? Well, what does his team Wanjiku campaign alongside Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria mean?

On Saturday, political analyst Herman Manyora said Governor Sonko can become a very strong candidate ahead of the 2022 polls.

He compared Sonko to United Kingdom (UK) Prime Minister Boris Johnson, US President Donald Trump, and Uganda opposition MP Bobi Wine.

“I know some people might think I am crazy. But as I speak, there are similar Presidents in the world, Prime Ministers. There’s Boris Johnson, there’s Donald Trump and there might soon be Bobi Wine. The conditions in this country can allow a Sonko to be president,” he said.

He urged Deputy President Dr William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga to be ready to face Sonko when times comes. 

“And believe you me Raila Amollo Odinga, William Samoei Ruto you could have a serious competitor in the person of Mike Sonko come 2022,” said Manyora.

President Uhuru Kenyatta and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga have been pushing for constitutional changes through their Building Brides initiative, but will it be an easy journey?

Well, Thirdway Alliance Party leader Dr Ekuru Aukot is pushing for constitutional changes as well. Whilst President Kenytatta and Raila are pushing for more representation, over representation is Dr Aukot’s major concern.

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) on Thursday approved 1.2 of the 1.4 million signatures which Aukot had presented for scrutiny by the commission.

With the law dictating that a person seeking to implement changes in the constitution present one million signatures, Aukot has cruised past the first section of the test.

Consequently, this exposes the nation to a possible referendum, probably next year, which comes as a blow to Uhuru and Raila, who have been pushing for an expanded government.

Aukot, on the other hand, is pushing to have elective seats reduced.

This will, therefore, force the two to go back to the drawing board to consider other ways of realising their push, putting into consideration that it will be impossible to their referendum bid to materialise with Aukot’s also looming.

Political analyst Herman Manyora claims that Deputy President Dr William Ruto stands to benefit from the referendum push by Dr Aukot.

Through his YouTube channel, Manyora explained that Aukot’s plans go through then the country can’t hold another plebiscite until 2022.

In his opinion, this would frustrate plans by the ODM Party Leader to hold a similar exercise to amend the Constitution. 

“There are those who believe that if this referendum were to be undertaken, not even go through, just to be undertaken then it would make it nearly impossible for any other group, BBI and the handshake included, to bring another referendum to Kenyans before the next election. 

“Therefore Ruto will have scored if the Thirdway Alliance was able to be taken to the people for a vote,” Manyora explained.

He went on to add that skeptics were claiming that the ‘Punguza Mzigo’ initiative would die before it reaches the County Assembly because of the many legal issues surrounding it.
