Question motives

Question your motives and those of your leaders. We are at a weird place as a country, we are harboring individuals crying foul, crying loss and pointing the accusatory finger against the powers that be, some in power others out of power. The litany of accusations and counter accusations have left most of the populace confused, lost and clutching onto titbits of rumors and hearsay. This has resulted to an uncertainty that wreaks so bad, it threatens to destroy our very existence as a nation, a nation we all hope we collectively love and care about.

In the murky waters of our Politics where the NRM formerly NASA, an unregistered Political Party, is planning for a second swearing in of Raila Odinga as the People’s President. The government under Jubilee party is proceeding with business as usual.
Since the August 8th election there has been huge accusations made against both sides, punching holes into the very fabrique of our national existence. The election process was hugely dependent on IT and as such the NASA brigade has repeatedly claimed that rigging has been done by the Jubilee faction. After a supreme court hearing and countless IT experts speaking on the issue we still don’t know who to listen to, who to consider the true sayer.

If something with minimal complexity as confirming a server logs and details to ascertain foul play or breach defeats us as a people, discerning the full impact of swearing in another President or even secession would definitely baffle a big chunk of the population. With this reality I believe the noble, friendly and helpful people of Kenya are being duped by the leaders to what end, we all could guess.

I agree with NASA leadership take: Democracy is on the balance. In danger by who is a witch-hunt that would threaten to turn around the whole barrage of leaders we love to hate. As the literary elite in Kenya provides sh for absolute freedom of speech and information, there are some who would use this freedom to corrupt the illiterate common masses to their own ends.

David Ndii said correctly after the dramatic attempted arrest or as some would say abduction by the police. “with all the intelligence in this country, that’s the best accusation they could level towards me?…… A piece of false news…” either he is right, that the state is so impoverished it knows not how to react to such forces and is lost at point of action a grave situation; or he is wrong and ridiculing the state agencies charged with protecting us.

The biggest question though to the ‘mwenye nchi’ is
Do you know your leader?
Do you know what priorities s/he has?
Do you know their actions?

We seem to be swayed by a wave of opinions for or against our leaders, we apply the same in elections and thereafter. This creates a reality that depends on rhetoric, hearsay and unsubstantiated claims. Dear Kenyan question your leader, his motives based on his actions not the endless talk we are used to.

The Russians say you should trust but always Question even what you trust.
