After
Judas Iscariot’s terrible death (its written in Acts 1:18 that he used the
proceeds of his barbaric act to buy a field, he fell to his death, he burst
open and all his insides spilled out). His field has since been named Akeldema
which means Field of Blood.
Judas’
death created a vacuum in the team and as the book of Psalms puts it, ‘May his
house become empty; may no one live in it and may someone else take his place
of service’’. Peter led the process of finding Iscariot’s successor and two
names were brought forth; Joseph who was called Barabbas and Matthias.
The
only qualification was; the candidate must be one of the men who were in their
group during the whole time that the Lord Jesus travelled about, beginning from
the time John preached his message of baptism until the day Jesus was taken up
heaven.
The
team then prayed after which they casted lots and Matthias was chosen as Judas’
replacement. Uhuru Kenyatta’s two-five year tenure is vastly dissipating and
before exiting the stage, IEBC is bound to conduct polls and Kenyans will cast
their lots and whoever garners 51% of total casted votes will officially unseat
Jomo’s son.
As
Biblical Peter under whose hands Jesus vested his mission so is Uhuru who
Kenyans entrusted power with. The commander-in-chief has declared that his hand
will leverage the ground for his heir who none knows. If Jubilee Coalition’s
2013 pre-election Pact was our standard reference point, then William Ruto is
his natural successor but that is no longer viable.
Uhuru
will verily throw his gauntlets behind a candidate and hitherto there are two
known qualifications such a person must possess. First he must be a Non-Kikuyu
and a non-Kalenjin, secondly he must not have any direct or indirect link with
William. Let it be noted that one of Uhuru’s political assignments is that of
ensuring his deputy does not occupy the house on the hill.
ANC
party leader Musalia Mudavadi is one among the many who have met the
requirements. The former Vice President hails from Western Region and he is
currently working hard to break his own kola nut. MaDvd’s relationship with
Ruto is not one of the greatest and for this, he may be the anointed one.
His
relation with ODM chief and Kenyatta II is glistening and if there is a man
Uhuru can easily front is Mudavadi. He nearly resigned in 2013 in his favor but
the ‘dark forces’ rejected the deal. With Agwambo and Uhuru’s support, MaDvd
will be yards away.
In the
recent days the KANU chair has been criss-crossing the country in what has been
dubbed as a familiarization tour, the scion of Kenya’s political professor is
angling to fly One Kenya Alliance flag in 2022. Theorists have since forecasted
that Gideon may turn out to be Uhuru’s secret successor. Moi and Kenyatta families
are close associates and since Nyayo did good to Kenyatta’s son, its maybe the
time for the latter family to return hand, besides what you do to men will be
done to you, says the holy writ.
