It's D-day! 8/8.

That we have all been waiting for the coming day is obvious. It has been a nervous, uncertain and at times even a fearful wait, full of suspension and anxiety. But the time is nigh. Four days to go.

To our brothers and sisters back home in Kenya, the Kenyans who have traveled to the motherland to cast their votes and those who have the luxury of doing so while in diaspora, it is about time. We thank you for the sacrifice that you have partaken for the love of our country. Your bold move will give Kenya it’s next leader. And by God, it will be the best leader. A leader that Kenya NEEDS, for the next five years. You are Kenya and we are proud of you.

Like every other patriotic and nation loving Kenyan, I do pray that there shall be peace, before, during and after elections. And that, the elections will this time leave no doubt in anybody’s mind about whom, Kenyans make their choice of a president in a fair, just and credible election.

We should not be blinded, at these times, by the allure, seductions, or rhetorical promises which may easily thereafter be forgotten by insincere leaders thirsty of the profits of power. We must think of Kenya first, and what is best for Kenya second.

I say we because I am every ounce Kenyan. I will not be voting but nonetheless I am Kenyan. And whatever the reason, I wish I could vote and that in future it will be possible for the thousands of Kenyans abroad. Because thereafter I would proudly say that my vote, made a difference.

I cannot change that situation now, and I do leave it in due and deserved trust to my beloved nation.    

We have been given two choices, two sides, two parties, two candidates or like they say, two horses to choose from. By the fact that they are both Kenyans, Kenya wins. Scenario, notwithstanding.

But these two sides of the coin hold different futures for our great land and nation. Those capable of voting, therefore carry the load, the womb, if you like, that will bear the new chapter in the history of Kenya.

We might say that for the sake of peace, one equals the other but it is not as simple as so. Though, peace still.

Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta must have his second term. Tano tena. Because there are some of us who have chosen not to recognize the work he has done in the last four years. Hold on.

Uhuru must be re-elected, so that he can finish what he started, obviously. We can not judge him otherwise. Whilst, there are those who mean that most of the projects that he started were part of the Grand Coalitions plans. May be. But the fact that he took over and actually realized them, makes them his projects.

Sacrifices must be made. Jubilee has let go some of its diehard members without a blink after they were rejected by Kenyans, the mini-buffalo (Kabogo), Maina Kamanda, Nakuru governor Kinothia Mbugua, but do I say.  

By not voting for Uhuru, thereafter disqualifies anyone of questioning any of his past work. You might be proud of that. And that is warranted by our new constitution. But then how do you celebrate the steps, the gains and the universal recognition that Kenya has made under his leadership? Will you not smile while riding in the SGR train?

Therein, will you ever be a proud Kenyan? A member of the so-proudly-called The Nation Of Kenya aka JAMHURI? Ama namna gani? Utabaki unaskiza vitendawili?

Nusu Mkeka.

Must it be a matter of life and death if or for whatever side you belong, to lose or win? What makes you feel less Kenyan by who loses? What makes you feel half way (ati Canaan, huko ni wapi!?) Kenyan, not part of it, one foot in; nusu mkeka, just because your candidate DID NOT WIN?

Raila is a darling to many, but my question adheres, could they (the many(?)) please look at his style of leadership and the tiles of blunders, and with a clear consciousness of the ramifications thereafter, wish it upon Kenya? Can you, (the many(?)) without a reasonable doubt, predict a bright future for our beloved country in his leadership, without pride and prejudice?

Whom, in their right mind would otherwise sing loudly in praises of one Joho, a d- sultan, and be proud of themselves? Hapo ndio tumefika jameni? A strong man is built by principles. And a strong nation, through that man is built by its constitution. You chant Joho? Really? Mombasa stinks, smells bad I say; has mountains of uncollected garbage and I know. I was there.

Joho is Raila’s chief campaigner and ODM, please read NASA’s, deputy leader. The governor (chest thumpingly, Sultan 001) of the second and most beautiful city of Kenya. A man who does not qualify to be leader in his own generation. Accordingly, a man who does not respect those above him, chosen by God or the people, is not a leader himself.  

Every time Joho speaks you will see a mean D-. Unless you are blinded by ethnicity, propaganda, fanaticism, 43-1, and sycophancy! Baba love. 

But it all started when Jimmy (James Bond) Wanjigi was mentioned, remember? When the Kenyan media for ONCE walked the mile to tell Kenyans the truth. The same truth that we were denied for such a long time! Things started to fall apart. First, we lost our very able, Interior Cabinet Secretary, 

Joseph Nkaissery. RIP

And after him Chris Msando. RIP. Manager of the ICT, EIBC. Both related by ensuring Kenyans of a free, fair, and a credible election. And they both said Kenya will have peaceful elections but otherwise? Over my dead body! 

Coincidence, accident, murder, rare, all fancy words out there apply here!  

The Americans say, if you want to solve a crime, follow the money (or words to that extent). And someone in history said, a revolution eats its own children. 

Who would gain (financially) of the death of Chris Msando, or rather who will lose from a fair election (Nkaissery meant no rigging)? = who is trying to rig the Kenyan elections.

Let’s not gamble for a better Kenya. We should neither be disappointed by the outcome of the coming elections, because whoever wins, it is a step within our growing democracy. And if he holds Kenya dear, we will have seen his actions already.
