Cherargei vs Murkomen: The chaotic way it must end
Where is this really going?
I'm tempted to look at this Cherargei-Murkomen push-pull Soap Opera in a different, less dramatic and rather mundane UDA-ist way.
Cherargei is clearly "salty" over something and is being very emotional. But whatever he is saying, is in bad faith to get at Murkomen, and not as a matter of principle or sense of justice regarding corruption as a vice.
Of course, what he's saying is very entertaining, but that's where it ends for me. We don't even know what the two are fighting over, and therefore, we shouldn't automatically accept their subliminal invite for us to join one or the other side. This is because both are being very economical with the actual truth. And for a reason!.
This is certainly their own private internal fight, only that it has gotten out of control because of very strong competing egos and lack of functional internal dispute resolution mechanisms in their criminal outfit, and now they're seeking to involve us in it, without divulging the context, or background of it all. Both are being cagy.
Both Cherargei and Murkomen are Ruto's tribalistic diehard supporters, and what that means is that whatever differences they may have, are but small quibbles over girlfriends or simple sibling rivalry; or if it's anything major that can make tempers flare like that, then it's definitely over "unjust" division of looted, or otherwise corruptly-obtained money.
There's no honor amongst thieves, and it's plausible that Murkomen may probably have pulled a fast one on Cherargei and other gang members by refusing to fully accommodate their financial appetites in a deal or deals.
And hence, Cherargei has decided to go feral and burn it all down, by making salacious "revelations", which he otherwise would never have revealed, so to say. The "revelations" are not for the public good out of concern over corruption, though. It's just a way of knocking Murkomen.
In fact, upon careful inspection, we see that Cherargei's tirade(s) and Murkomen's counterpunch(es) show that they are both seeking attention, sympathy and support from all of us, as the public. But here is the thing:- we don't even understand the genesis of what they are quarelling about, or what they fell out over. And they are not telling us. Believe it or not, this isn't about some crappy roads in Nandi county.
However, it's not even important what the fight is about, because so long as they see nothing wrong with the Ruto-UDA-KK mismanagement and misrule as a whole, and are eager participants in the thieving spree, they lack the moral right to indignation over any transgression on each other's part. They amply merit one another!
