4th December 2012 Kenyans must take charge On the 4th March 2013, we will have another opportunity to reclaim Kenya from Impunity, Tribalism, Arrogance, Corruption and Greed. We will be voting for leaders of our choice right from the Presidency to the lowest County Representatives. And the field is shaping up. We have a Coalition of Suspects fronting their bid as the best deal Kenya has ever had. They are saying that they are bringing proven leadership and track records as their platform for vote seeking. Then we have the Coalition of Kenyans who want to save Kenya from this lot. They are saying Kenyan must be saved from this Coalition of Suspects as we jointly work for Justice, Peace, Good Governance, Love and Inclusiveness. The Presidency is not a relay that must be handed over between two people. And the Presidency must not be reduced to a play thing by Kenyans. We must jealously guard our Presidency and hand it over to the best person. Mzee Jomo Kenyatta did his time for 15 Years and may God rest his soul in eternal peace. Then we had Mzee Daniel Arap Moi for 24 years and Mzee Mwai Kibaki has done his 10 Years. And now, we have another chance to determine who next occupies the seat of power and we must not be afraid in making that choice. We must be very bold in choosing the right person. As a Kenyan and a Voter at that, we have very clear choices to make because we can look back into history and make decisions. We either vote for Impunity, Tribalism, Arrogance, Corruption and Greed- as exemplified by the Coalition of Suspects, or, we vote against those vices and help place Kenya on the right side of History. We also have an opportunity to decide how to live with the International Community. Kenya was burning in 2008, courtesy of this Coalition of Suspects; they were named by a Tribunal as being the people with the highest responsibility for what happened to Kenya in 2008 where 1,133 Kenyans were killed, 600,000 displaced and property worth Millions destroyed, and now, we must decide, do we appreciate that Foreigners did help us, or they are just meddlers? I am happy that this Team Coalition of Suspects has been traversing East Africa paying Courtesy Calls on Foreigners and telling them that Foreigners must not meddle in our affairs as a Country. And we must ask ourselves, are Presidents Salva Kir, President Jakaya Kikwete and the rest not Foreigners? When the Team Coalition of Suspects talks about proven track records, I shudder with rage. What track record do we have with Land Grabbing? Is this something we need to be proud of as a Team? Yet, it is a proven track record that the duo leading Team Coalition of Suspects are the largest land owners in Kenya. It has never mattered how they got their land. What proven track record do we have with Computer Errors? We all know that during one of the Budgets, when the leading light in the Coalition of Suspects was the Finance Minister, we had massive errors involving the budgetary allocations to the Ministry of Education. And the then Finance Minister simply brushed us aside that those were Computer Errors. Computer Errors they were indeed! And it has made the then Minister for Education so beholden to this Coalition of Suspects. What does he know about the Computer Errors that has permanently bought his loyalty? We also had that sad scenario of the Exchange Rate. Can anyone remember that the Shilling at one time exchanged at Kshs 122.00 to the Dollar? Was it artificial sgortage created by the mandarins at the Finance Ministry then headed by the leading light at this Coalition? Then we have the question of Impunity and Arrogance. How I wish the gods were lenient. When the gods want to destroy you, they make you blind and arrogant. Then they make you deceitful and naked. The bad thing is, the gods then surround you with court poets and jesters, people who will ululate at your nakedness as they partake of the sumptuous meals you offer. Who does not know that this Coalition of Suspects is using big money to roll out? We all know of a randy Member of Parliament who has been chasing all skirts in Town and dishing out dud cheques all over. He saw an opportunity and drove himself to join this Coalition. His debts were promptly paid for him and now, he is a happy man. But is he coming back to Parliament? We also know of a youthful sheng speaking Member of Parliament who boasts in Public that he has been getting money from the Money Bags at the Coalition of Suspects and sharing the same with his Constituents. Can you now see the clear trail of where the money being used to buy lyalty came from? Land Grabbing, Computer Errors, Exchange Rates- all very clear and Proven Track Records. Is this what we want as a Country? The worst part is, these guys have been indicted at the International Court of Justice for having committed Crimes against Humanity and they are telling us that they have rights. I beg to differ. The only rights these guys have is the right to clear their names at the Courts. Kenyans must unite in defeating this Team and save Kenya this ignominy. We must never die with these two people. As a Country, we must invite the Solomonic Wisdom and allow this Coalition to contest. We must then consign them to the dustbin of History once and for all. And then institute appropriate charges against them. Kenya is too big and we are all partners in this. And we have many leaders to choose from as well. I am not ready to buy bread at Kshs 4,100.00 simply because I must die with one who needs to clear his name at the International Court of Justice for Crimes committed against Humanity. Let Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto save themselves first before saving Kenyans. Odhiambo T Oketch, Komarock Nairobi |
