Elections on 26th??
The opposition has held the government wt ransom! And it’s having a ball with the puppet strings.
So Kenya has decided to break records this year, collectively we have decided to let our crazy out!
Lest we forget and draw up a new collective order out of ignorance, hate and self interest by leaders; the Supreme Court in a historic ruling, decided that the Presidential election didn’t follow the constitution and as such the election should be re-done! The time-line is sixty days from the date of the ruling, the opposition, the same guys who took the case to court then pulled out a new line and declared that the IEBC cannot handle the election, sighting the Supreme Court ruling, and as such they, led by Senior Counsel James Orengo, demanded for reforms in the IEBC.
Quick note IEBC is a government institution that is charged with the responsibility of holding an election in Kenya, an institution that has been subject to changes after almost every election, bowing to pressure from the opposition, and as Raila has been in the opposition for long, the reforms we enjoy today are to his credit! Good Sir!
Back to the reforms suggested, the NASA team demands and terms their demands as irreducible, final and threaten to boycott the elections. Knowing full well the provision that if the election is boycotted by a candidate, a fresh election should be ordered. Smelling this, the already sworn in members of Parliament (majority Jubilee) sought to amend the constitution to seal that provision, claiming it would plunge the country into uncertainty.
Talks between IEBC and the two political parties turn sour, with the opposition holding their stand while the Jubilee party calling for adherence to the law, another first perhaps : the government party asking the opposition to follow the law.
Protest are scheduled for Mondays and Fridays in Central Business Districts across the country, stalling business. This saw the rise of Nairobi Business Owners groups that cone out to meet the protesters notorious for destruction, looting and mugging. Our cities become battle grounds, teargas afflicting the crowds with anti-riot police hard at work to restore sanity. The drums of war are loud and politicians from the NASA side are on the lead, with a number of vocal leaders swearing to sabotage the election, no matter the cost.
My take is simple, the NASA team is fictitious, hypocritical and notorious for causing mayhem.
Why lead followers to their deaths? And claim that whatever the cost, you must win?
Why would the NASA team create an atmosphere of uncertainty, from the days of campaign vowing to refuse the results if they don’t win the Presidency? Is it by default that they refuse the results?
Why would the NASA Team have demands for the IEBC and refuse to negotiate on them?
Why demand reforms of the electoral body, knowing full well that such reforms won’t happen in time for the repeat Free presidential election ordered by the Supreme Court.
Why go round peddling a lie to their followers, claiming that Jubilee stole/rigged the elections and as a result the court annulled?? A clear lie in the public eye set to sway
against the government.
The NASA moves are calculated, measured to force the Government to act by force, so that they would again cry foul and claim extra-judicial execution, tribal bias etc..
Dear Kenyans a revolution will happen and things will never be the same, we are forging our future now! Lets be sane enough not to endorse mutiny, insanity & warmongers.
