Ensure your nose is sober. In 2007 we had the three giants working towards their entering into state movement in 2008. They moved all over the country looking for votes and some showing people with money. They campaigned and people praised them not knowing they will turn up to be destroyers.
After election and before Mr. Kivuitu made the announcement the smell of war could be heard. People had prepared their machetes and planned who to kill. This reminds me of 2000 campaigns when thieves invaded several homes in my home place asking them who they will vote for. After refusing to tell them they were thoroughly beaten like donkeys which have refuse to take sukuma wiki to the market.
So it had started earlier than 2007, there were people who could not stand seeing their oppose winning the game again. What was their problem? What resulted to 2007 violence? We talk of tribes and who want who nothing else.
Remember the days of Noah which we read in historical books? They were told rain is coming but because they had not seen it in their lifetime they thought it was just a joke. The same thing happened in 2007, people were told not to vote for leaders who are not leading them to anywhere because all they wanted was to satisfy their hunger for the big seat. They thought it was yet another joke.
After all Kenya had not witnessed such a war after independence and it could not come into their minds. In fact some want to see whether it can happen.
Should We Do It Again?
It terrifies some but the largest group doesn’t care what happens because all they want is to fulfill what their elders or do we call them community men say.
Can we come out of this cocoon of tribes and settle our differences?
After 2007 there were very many peace movements and one Kenya which helped in reuniting tribes. Where are they at the moment? Why are they not talking? Tribes voices are on top now everyone supporting their man. They can’t be controlled.
Who Should We Vote For?
Let’s take a lot on the two giants in this election since Mr. Ruto bowed and gave Uhuru his chance and accepted to become a running mate.
Look at the Former President’s Son.
In 2007 he promised a lot of good things which he would have done between then and now. Go back to the promises and find out whether there is something he has done. At least he was given the throne of financial minister and did one of the most effective budgets that Kenyans had ever heard.
What about others? Why has he not kept the promises? I though Kenya was to be a paradise by this time. Not that by not being a president he had no chances of fulfilling most of his promises. He was and he has been in this government. He knows very well what is lacing in Kenya and what we need. The open door for him has been there but he has not acted. Or may be his plans were ruined by Ocampo’s envelop.
Raila Is Yet another Aspirant
Just like Uhuru, his father has been in Kenyan government and he also knows more things about this nation more than we do. He has been a minister not once or twice. He as well made promise to Kenyans in the year 2007. Has he fulfilled at least half of them even after being the prime minister? This man has had all the power he needed. He could have made Kenya the place he had told us.
Mr. Odinga and Mr. Uhuru, we don’t at one point doubt you capability in making this nation a 1st world. no, in fact we have been supporting you. Because we trust you people and we know you can make it.
I quote Rutos words,”We know that we have the leadership that can bring all Kenyans together and help them overcome their challenges. For this reason, we have come to Nakuru today to announce a coalition of ideas between men and women who subscribe to uniting this country,”
The problem is, you have not been playing your roles well. You have had big chances. It doesn’t require a leader to seat in presidents throne to act but it takes a leader to act despite the position.
All we hear from you is battling words.
Let’s take a look to one of the things you could have completed in the last five years which you have been in parliament.
There a large number of people who are still on the tents. Do you know why they are there? Some is because of Raila while others Uhuru.
They wanted all the best for you people. They wanted to see you seated in parliament as the president. And you know what happened? Many lost their lives because of that, some were maimed, raped, left in poverty, left homeless, the number off needy and orphans in the nation raise.
The time for election is drawing near and people seem to have forgotten what happened in 2007-2008. Who will remind them?
Can You Hear The Sound Of Blood On Kenyan Soil Asking For Justice?
Have you people done anything to settle their cases? Have you cared of settling them in another environment and in good homes? Some of them are still in tents and you are waiting form their votes? With all the pain in their hearts. Remember everyone who sees them is as well affected.
Can you take a step and cover up for them. Just buying a land to settle them or getting one from your acres will do Kenyans happy. Give them a new morning. Give them strength to vote again. A chance to feel that they also belong.
