Renewed vitriol on Raila by Tangatanga MPs is cowardly. It’s vain, blatant attempt at revising history. 1992 & 1997 so-called land-crashes were politically sponsored by KANU against opposition supporters. Raila was forefront in opposition. FACT. Like many of us he was victim.
Kiliku, NCCK, Akiwumi & other reports revealed plotters +perpetrators. Local & foreign media published. YK92 In thick of it. 1997 Urais: Raila, Ngilu, Wamalwa lost. No violence Siaya, Kitui, Bungoma. Kibaki “lost”. Nyeri calm. 1992 Matiba rigged out but Murang’a calm. Villains?
2002 most peaceful multiparty poll. Uhuru conceded even as some allies resisted. Moi ensured smooth transition. 2013 smooth too as Raila conceded after @Kenyajudiciary petition flopped. W/ Kalonzo called on UhuRuto @StateHouseKenya, recognized UhuRuto presidency. No violence
Except 2007 that somewhat embroiled contestant camps, all other election-related skirmishes were state-manufactured and perpetrated. Wrongly christened ethnic or land crashes by villains, were purely state atrocities. That’s the truth we must face. 2008 we said NEVER EVER AGAIN.
Despite Justice Kriggler report asserting evidence that 2007 was so messy to tell exactly who won, Kofi Annan helping us find reconciliation + accord, those in denial still stuck to own village standpoints. Thanks to Raila and Kibaki, we stabilized. Even beyond fabricated reports
Thanks to UhuRuto power deal, Rift Valley 2013 was as 2002. Calm. Thanks UhuRao handshake we are in peace. While an ALTERNATIVE FORCE is imminent, I foresee a Ruto versus Raila duel 2022; Uhuru playing a Kîbaki2013. Nobody hostage. No community captive in DEMOCRACY. Let’s fix.
Top leaders may owe each other secret debts. That’s theirs. Last MoU I saw signed was 2002. I was involved 2013 - I “suspect” a MATERIAL DEAL ie unlike 2002, 2013 had possible TRANSACTIONAL POLITICS, Big Money. And now, 7yrs on, power 50:50. Then? Debts again? The curse must end.
While we respect our senior leaders, this country belongs to every citizen. To move forward, incumbent impunities must be crashed. NEW NEGOTIATIONS must happen. To start afresh, reincarnate a REPUBLIC, a NEW ORDER is nigh. Transient UhuRuto must lapse for a NEW INCLUSIVE START.
A ROUNDTABLE of veterans, seniors, reformists, devolution champions, minorities, gender equity crusaders, intellectuals, experts, youth activists, captains of industries and elders oncoming. No bondage. ESCALATE WarOnGraft. Redraft #BBIReport to fit. TERMINATE ‘ethnic deals’.
1963 nationalism aborted 1966 by greed, myopia. Grabbers and assassins reigned. 1978 ‘passing cloud’ soon ravenously flooded linings. Then #KrollReport “exported” GDP infinite. Instead economic footsteps, ethnic cleansing. 2002 rainbow submerged. A cliff 2007; Moreno Ocampo pap!
I conscientiously choose to support my President coz I won’t want him to fail. Yes, like you or me, he has failing But, trust you me, Uhuru Kenyatta means business in WarOnGraft. He’ll crash even his closest. Isn’t it becoming evident daily? To fight impunity, I SUPPORT UHURU.
I consciously support Raila because he is a tolerant and forgiving personality. And he’s as a PanAfricanist. He has flaws yes, yet his fatherly elderly skills inspires vitally for a national reconstruction. Raila is pragmatic. Towers Globally, but we’ve demonized selectively.
