Akoko Akech points to something interesting about the Bomas launch of #BBIReport. Murkomen being booed was a replay of Moi's conviction during Lancaster negotiations that the Jaramogi-Jomo arrangement of KANU marginalized Kenyans of other ethnic groups. theelephant.info/features/2019/…
Prime-ministership is a return of the pre-KPU KANU arrangement. That arrangement does not challenge the politicization of ethnicity because it is based on the belief that Kikuyus will always be in power, and Luos will always have the biggest negotiating room. #BBIReport
A parliamentary system means that politicians can negotiate power with each other without us having a say. So smaller Kenyan tribes will never sit at the table, and when they slip in, they will do like Moi, play Kikuyus and Luos against each other in order to survive #BBIReport
Whether we get parliamentary or executive system, the point of #BBIReport is to protect the 0.1% and to continue using tribe to determine wealth and access to socio-economic power.
So the reason to reject BBI is for one reason alone: it does not challenge the power of the 0.1%.
