Kumekucha-Africa

If you are rich, why would you ask other people to pay for your campaign? This question confuses many ordinary Kenyans. Ann Waiguru was not a poor person before 2017. She had worked in high offices in Nairobi. She had earned a good salary. So why did her Kirinyaga campaign look like it was funded by invisible giants? Chris Kariuki Kumekucha gives a clear answer in this video. Politicians who know the game never use their own money. It is a fast road to poverty. Campaigns in Kenya eat money every hour. You must pay agents, drivers, fuel, food, posters, t-shirts, public address systems, social media teams, opinion polls, and handouts. For a governor race, the total can run into hundreds of millions. Even a millionaire can be finished in weeks. Smart politicians look for sponsors. Sponsors are businessmen, tender cartels, and political groups who have interests in that county or ministry. They give you money now. You give them protection later. That is normal in many countries. Even in Am...

In this analysis, I break down why the opposition leader hasn’t made a single wrong move so far, from completely overhauling the IEBC to keeping the establishment guessing by avoiding rowdy street protests. But this popularity isn't an accident. Through my research, I've uncovered the real secret behind his flawless strategy; a highly sophisticated, laser-focused political  think tank that is mapping out his best chance yet at the top seat. With this being the 72-year-old’s absolute last realistic stab at the presidency, there is zero room for mistakes. How do think tanks completely alter Kenyan elections? In the video, I draw parallels to how President Daniel Arap Moi used strategic think tanks to completely outmaneuver a united opposition in 1992 when everyone thought he was finished.

Kikuyus and Kambas Chant Sifuna Together in Kitengela: Is Tribal Politics Dead? For more than sixty years, Kenyan politics has followed one simple rule. People vote for their own tribe. Kikuyu vote for Kikuyu. Kamba vote for Kamba. Luo vote for Luo. Every election analyst uses the same tribal calculator. Add this tribe plus that tribe and you win State House. Last weekend in Kitengela, that calculator broke into pieces. And it broke live on camera. Picture this town. Kitengela is in Kajiado County. It is a fast-growing town full of workers, traders, landlords, drivers, and young families who cannot afford Nairobi rents. Official numbers say the biggest community there is the House of Mumbi. Number two is the Maasai. Number three is the Kamba. Your own research says the truth on the ground is slightly different. Because of the short distance to Machakos and the daily movement of workers, Kambas are actually number two now, ahead of the Maasai. Wiper looked at those numbers and smiled. T...
