How Kalonzo Musyoka sealed
his own fate on the Presidency
By Martin Masai

There can never be a better way to explain the age old idiom ' Frying your own goose' than to hear the story of Kalonzo Musyoka's quest to become the President of Kenya as told by Adan Duale in his book " For the Record"
Mr Kalonzo Musyoka
"To fry your own goose is to do something which gets you into trouble or spoils your chances of success." This could explain why Kalonzo is not about to be President of Kenya.
DISCLAIMER
For the avoidance of doubt, the story is not originated by any of our writers. The Anchor is only focusing on it because of Kalonzo's standing in Kamba politics. Readers in the counties of Machakos, Kitui and Makueni are the newspaper's principal audience and a large number of them hold him in high regard.
But many more are oblivious of the intrigues that take place at the national level where politicians cut deals on how to share power, manage the country and in other situations, loot the public coffers.
In the foregoing, the Anchor will only publish an excerpt of the book written by Defense CS Adan Duale, which was launched today.. Duale writes:
" Kalonzo, it had been decided was going to be the President.
So Ruto drove Uhuru to Kalonzo's Karen home.
In the deal, Uhuru was going to be Deputy President and Ruto Majority Leader.
Then Kalonzo messed it up.
" You guys leave the Presidency to me. I have looked at the charges you are facing and as a senior lawyer, my advice to you is, just go to the ICC. You will be jailed a maximum of ten years. When you come back , I will leave the seat to you. I will hand it over to you."
Uhuru walked out of the Gazebo to smoke.
Ruto asked Kalonzo, "is that so?
Kalonzo was dead serious.
Ruto followed Uhuru outside. They chatted and agreed to ignore Kalonzo.
They walked back and Uhuru told Kalonzo they had changed their mind and their final offer was for him to take Majority Leader.
Kalonzo rejected the offer.
"William you are driving me bwana, let us go, said Uhuru, signaling the end of the
meeting.
Page 125 -126 of the book."
No rebuttal or clarification has been offered by Mr Musyoka. The Anchor will publish it at the earliest opportunity.
