The Evolution of Our Very Own JUDAS ISCARIOT (2007-08)

The Evolution of Our Very Own JUDAS ISCARIOT (2007-08)


Raila Odinga asked: "I am sure even Jesus Christ and his disciples would not have sat in a committee chaired by Judas Iscariot."

Former Law Society of Kenya chairman Ahmednasir Abdulahi on Kalonzo Musyoka's candidacy: "It (presidential bid) is not driven by any belief or principle. It is the most naked attempt to catapult an average individual to the political elite of the presidential candidacy based on nothing other than the token numbers of his ethnic group."

Now read and listen to the man himself: Kenyan Vice President, brother-in-Christ, aka miracle, aka wiper, Hon. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka……


"In London, we will sit and compare notes because all of us have campaigned far and wide. We will identify our weak points and improve on them." March 2007 before the abortive ODM-K London trip. Kalonzo did not travel to London.

"What has happened today demonstrates leadership. By shifting to this alliance, we have shown the resolve to strengthen ODM Kenya. Remember that at the formation of ODM, I said the future is Orange. I want to repeat today that the future is Orange. Those who have been going around saying that Kalonzo has plan 'A' or Plan 'B' have been proven wrong. As you can see, it is Orange and ODM Kenya." 15 July 2007, after 'defecting' from LDP to LPK within ODM-K.

"Our destiny was linked together following the 2002 road accident after the campaign in my constituency, and that is why I stood by you through the election despite pressure from your predecessor (former President Moi)". Hata kama utaendelea kwa kipindi kingine, nakuomba uhakikishe usawa. (If you are given another chance, I urge you to ensure equity prevails)." 17 July 2007, during a rally attended by President Kibaki in Mwingi District.

"This is the dawn of the miracle! President Kibaki and ODM candidate Raila Odinga should know that we are roaring to State House. We need inspirational leadership and not politics of hate."15 October 2007 Daily Nation

"Kibaki is not a man of his words. He promised to serve only one term and requested that we should not put it down because he was a man of his word. Kibaki should hand over power to a younger generation and join Moi in retirement". At the launch of his manifesto last year (2007)

"I am the only presidential candidate who can fight corruption if elected. Presidential candidates who refuse to declare their wealth are saying that they are ashamed of what they own and know it is immoral. I therefore urge Kenyans to reject candidates who have not publicly declared their wealth as they could have obtained this wealth by corrupt means." November 2007 while on the campaign trail in Makutano (North Rift).

"Kenyans will not accept a rigged poll. It can be terrible as the world is watching Kenyans to set an example." 3 December 2007, after attending church service.

"Fighting corruption must start from the top and the top is you. That is why I challenge Kibaki and Raila to declare their wealth and how they acquired it. If they are unable, they should not get any votes." 24 December 2007 Nairobi

"The presidential votes tallying is not conclusive yet, nothing is done until the figures are finally done by the ECK, but I am not discouraged in any way and will respect the wishes of the people." 29 December 2007, on being asked if he was discouraged by initial presidential results showing him trailing a distant third behind Kibaki and Raila.

"My focus at the moment is to see the country remain united, with no further incidences of the anarchy threatening to tear our nation apart. It is meaningless for me to accept the (VP's) slot when the country was in chaos. If I have to negotiate with President Kibaki over the position, I will make it open (sic). We must face the reality that the nation first needs healing and not pursuit of positions."
5 January 2008 in an interview with the Standard Newspaper.

"I am greatly honoured (sic) by the (VP's) appointment and I thank the President on behalf of ODM-K. I am intensely aware that the appointment comes at a very difficult time when the country is going through very painful moments." 9 January 2008, on being appointed as Kenya's VP.

"I not surprised by the appointment, we have been consulting with PNU before the announcement was made." 9 January 2008, responding to journalists who wanted to know if he was surprised by the appointment as Kenya's VP
