They are talking about a revolution time,
loudly.
Fellow Kenyans, things are not right.
Something is terribly wrong and before I go further, let me take this
opportunity to issue a travel advisory against visiting homeland in the meantime
and until otherwise advised. Kenya is
about to burn, someone who has always been determined to seize power without
regard to the innocents’ blood is at it again.
Over one year ago, Kenyans held one of the
most praised elections ever. Besides hundreds of MPs, 47 governors and senators,
a president and a deputy president were voted in.
While this happened, some grand mistakes
were made and some accidents, occurred. But a difference or a margin of over
800 000 votes decided who was to be the president.
Kenyans settled in for a five year ride
with the youngest ever duo in the cockpit. This was the dynamic duo as so named
by the former president, Mzee Kibaki. This duo won clean. Until the ever quetching
voice of denial sounded. Yet again, Raila, after an afterthought, declared that
he was rigged out.
First by the IEBC, then by the Kenya Army,
later by the NIS and probably soon by the national youth service; like the undecided
liar he is.
There was not to be the easy ride as
expect. Raila had earlier promised that he would accept if he lost the election
but just like when Uhuru had been invaded by mademoni, Raila made a u-turn to
that promise and awoke Kenyans to the perpetual reality that he can not accept
defeat.
But this time round he did the noble thing
and made an appointment with the land's Supreme Court, which “predictably" (to
him, since he almost single-handedly picked and fought for the installation of
Willy Mutunga as the Chief Justice) was supposed to reverse the election and
hand it to him.
This is when he shouted that democracy was on trail. This is part of
what he told us then:
“We have created a new Kenya out of the ashes of the one that was nearly destroyed by the
terrible violence, which followed the tainted election of 2007. It took five long years to rebuild
this beautiful country, and foster reconciliation among those divided and
traumatised by events of 2007-2008.
Our people have passionately
embraced an unprecedented new order of reforms and economic vibrancy that will
deliver a more prosperous and equitable society, contained in a new
Constitution that is the envy of the world.” Words he does not wish to recall
now.
But something went wrong, it didn’t go his
way. Remember again here he had declared that he and the discord fraternity
would respect the court’s decision. Well as we all remember he only accepted that
decision for one day and soon after he made the claim that the judges had been
bribed. In other words he did not fail those of us who believed that he would
never accept he lost.
But things went smoothly for quite some
time. People forgot the elections and the Uhuruto government soon started making
impressive miles in realising their promise to the people of Kenya .
People started to love this fellows and the main opposition party, ODM (also
known as CORD) called for party elections in order to squarely position
themselves ready for the 2017 elections. Campaigns start early in Kenya .
This is when things fell apart. The now
called baba hired goons in black suits to disrupt the said “elections” when he
realised that his preferred gang led by one Agnes Zani was about to be handed a
sound defeat by ODM supporters who preferred the young and militant Ababu
Namwamba’s gang who fits the club’s criteria much better.
When things went helter-skelter, the “baba”
ran away to a three months exile from his own people and party in hope that by
the time he came back they would have forgotten what had transpired a very
short while ago. This plan worked perfectly, not only did they forget, they
didn’t care.
Before he was to come back “home” his
forever-no-matter-what darlings started a twitter string famously as
#BabaWhenYouWereAway. A well calculated propaganda move which somehow rekindled
the lost love between the runaway and his lost sheep.
Lost because while he was away, the whole
length of discord had melted into and freely mingled with the rest of the
wananchi in a nation building fashion, everything was at peace but for the Al
Shabaab and the Mungiki who continued their illegal and hideous business of
killing and maiming.
The twitter string has since changed into
#SomeOneTellRaila which is not as endearing to the baba as the earlier was. He
is doing his best to pretend that he has not seen the latter. #SomeOnePleaseShowHim
one of those twitts.
While in the land of his cousin Obama,
another puppet ruler, Raila in an interview with Mureithi whose name according
to Kalonzo the watermelon, says it all, spoke well of Kenya. He even said that “only
a mad man would refuse to pay the Anglo leasing money” what he would later
change to “I want that money back”. Is he the mad man here?
When he finally came back home through Dubai , his
fellowship had indeed forgotten the elections he had messed up and were just
happy that he had travelled to America .
He was received as should be due him, but when he was invited to talk, he
dropped a bomb.
He threw away the friendly and patriotic
speech he had written and decreed the beginning of chaos to be followed by anarchy.
He started this by ordering the president of the republic of Kenya to meet
and dialogue with him apende asipende.
Soon after, he visited the “redeemed” mungiki
leader Maina Njenga, his fellow enemy of peace and a "suspectedly" established criminal,
probably to put him on a stand-by in case of any eventualities (?).
Let’s make it clear here that the former PM
Raila Odinga is and was never interested in any dialogue with anybody. He came
back to Kenya prepared to start a “revolution” that he thinks will give him
power. Let’s also understand people that he very well knows that Kenyans will
suffer, might bleed or die, will have their property destroyed but he does not
care.
Why Want Kenya To Burn ?
Raila Odinga has awakened to the
realisation that the government he underestimated might perform far much better
than he did as the Prime Minister. He knows very well that if that happens, and
these two younger Kenyans actually succeed in fulfilling their manifesto, he
will have no chance against them come 2017.
With these in mind, Raila knows that he has
already lost any chance he ever had in ever becoming a president. At over 70
years of age, he has lived the best part of his life and does not have much else
to expect. He is no longer afraid to die, he might even wish it if it would
make him a hero, at least. This is why he wants Kenya to
burn. He has nothing more to lose.
With the experience that the man has in the
Kenyan political arena, he knows very well that mass action or the rallies will
only work to the disadvantage of Kenyans; he can’t move the government of Kenya ! I
can’t stop wondering why he and the discord can not wait for just four remaining
years if they love and respect the people, the constitution and the land’s law.
Will he be happy to see the imminent
bloodshed? Will he without crocodile tears, be happy to see possible mass
killings? Will he be happy to see the increase of IDPs? Will he be happy to see
the suffering of women and children heightened further?
Why want Kenya to
burn now, barely, 1 year after elections, 1 year into fully implementing the new
constitution, 1 year into devolved county governments. All of which he fought
so hard for? Why would he want to punish Kenyans further when Al Shabaab is delivering
it's deadly blow every available chance?
We saw the same pattern in 2007; it led to
death and destruction. We were not prepared then, Kenyans are prepared now. It
will be much worse than it was then.
What is it to him that makes it ok to start
a process that is sure to destroy an eleven year Kenyan success story? And why
should Kenyans support and/or allow him to?
If let to continue in the course that he
has ventured into, Raila Odinga is going to see to the destruction of Kenya out
of a promise given to him by his western masters who will not be there when
Kenyans cry.
His cousin has already publicly said that they "will turnKenya into
South Sudan ”. There is no more doubt left, he came back
home to overthrow the rightfully elected government of Uhuru Kenyatta,
selfishly and without regard to the people of Kenya .
His cousin has already publicly said that they "will turn
We must all stand against this evil plans
to rudely disrupt the lives of innocent Kenyans! We must not allow him to carry
on holding Kenya back because he can not win an election. Kenyans, the same ones he
claims to fight for must stand against any form of incitement. We should not be
made to turn against each other by one power hungry individual!
He must be made to let Kenya go!
He must be told no! This time Kenyans must show Raila Odinga that they are not
willing to fight each other for his own personal crusade!
#SomeOneTellRaila that Kenyans want peace!
