Kibaki will never cease to amaze me! First of all I still don’t believe he actually pulled it off by stealing the 2007 election. (yes it was a stolen one and even they that voted for him have gone on record to say, ‘enyewe hio aliiba’. The international community could not agree any more too. Havin seen people die as a result including his kinsmen who were murdered and/or burnt to death in the great rift, he still goes ahead to defend the perpetrators. Amazing!
The latest shocker, is the KKK issue. In naming the appointments, or nominations thereof, he ensures that all three tribes are catered for. Muigai a kikuyu, Kioko a kamba and that Kalenjin whatever his name is. Would it be wrong then to say that Kibaki is just but an old tribal goon who wants to leave power having imposed his choice on us?! He wants to have people work for him even after his retirement. The best he shoulda done was to leave politics pole pole. This to say the least, is impunity at its best and its not even funny!
Martha Karua in yesternight’s news also went ahead to say the same and express her disagreement wit the president’s way of exercising his power. And by the way people should know that right now Karua is the one person in Kenya who has our interests at heart *am just saying.* Even if they say that consultations do not have to come to a hundred percent agreement between the parties, there should be some consensus on the same. I do not agree with the President and if I could, I would tell him to his face!!! Ethnicity is okay, but not if it is attached to political issues.
Another thing we as Kenyans should not tolerate is the matter of endorsement in political parties. For example kibaki goin out of power and saying that his blessings are with the KKK…. (and that term has everything wrong with it. Remember the Ku Klux Klan?) I loved the way in 2002 the way we the people showed Moi that we didn’t care whether his choice was Uhuru cos that was simply not our choice! The only point I come to an agreement with Mr. Moi is the fact that he is also against the tribal alliances that seem to be cropping up.
People, with every year that comes it’s only logical that we become wiser…. The rest of Kenya is bigger than the KKK. Let that be known to the KKK affiliates
lucid arguments, but the Chinese might enlighten us, "do not teach a hungry man ethics"...; kenyans, and the 'disenfranchised tribes', will not be safe until they learn what Kikuyu's learnt during Kenyatta era, cooperate, create cooperatives, accumulate, and crate wealth, and then throw the economic weight behind a political agenda...politics is a slave to money, just like politicians are slaves to the market makers...indeed, the KKK, kibaki, or any other system, will continue to perpetuate itself unless the opponents organised themselves financially...the street mantra is trite, "money talks"...and tribe...mmmhhh, well, tribe is unlike any other inherited characteristics, we cannot change it, it is like being born blind, we live with it; it is not like religion, which we choose, or like skills, which we choose too...being a luo, ogiek, or kamba, is like being born a woman, or blind, or with a hump...it is neither a problem, nor a blot...we should embrace it, and move on...the kibaki's and mois and kenyattas are not as tribal as they are capitalists, imperialists, blood suckers, stealing, maiming, oppressing in the name of representing...and so, i rest my case!
