Referendum: Its all About Kenya

Image
Barely 4 months after the March 4 general election, are Kenyans experiencing the worst economic hardships due to the massive donor withdraw and the implementation of the 2010 constitution. The recent prolonged Teachers’ strike put the jubilee government in a corner that it was deemed to fail.   The main question that many want answered is; was Uhuru Kenyatta validly elected by the Majority of Kenyans? Did he maintain 50% plus one vote in at least 24 of the 47 counties? I remember during the referendum in 2010 I was on record having opposed the creation of County system of governments with no electoral power. That system was deemed to install a president who does not represent the face of Kenya and therefore its time we correct the said mistakes that we committed in 2010. Sincerely, I am uncertain that Adan Duale didn’t know that Kenyans love the so called mini presidents as they are here to serve us because we elected them to serve us in that capacity and therefore t

If Not Kethi, then its Kethi Kilonzo for Makueni Senate the rest, don't count.....

Politics is being approved by the majority of the registered voters in the area you wish to represent in either parliament, senate, presidency, gubernatorial or even the least of the county jobs which is county representative. Yesterday’s declaration by Nduku kilonzo while in Machakos town that she would be in the race for the Makueni senatorial seat, takes people at a surprise and the main questions lies here, is she in good terms with the Wiper political party which was held by her husband? Honestly, I confess that I had never known Mutula Kilonzo had a wife until he died. But I knew of m

Raila Odinga ought to be Respected

Tweet When one said that “Kenya ina wenyewe” I think he actually meant Kenya belongs to very few bureaucratic people who fly government flags. When I see, one man named Raila Odinga, I see a true face of Kenya. So humble and devoted to have Kenya maintain the democratic space that pre existed in minds of Kenyans before 1991. Like Kakamega Senator, Dr. Bonny Khalwale, I reiterate that you can wish Raila never exists but the bitter truth is that Raila Amolo Odinga has 5.3Million voters behind him. He also doubles up as the leader of Coalition for Reforms and Democracy and if you never knew, he is the leader of the party with majority of Members of Parliament in Kenya. And if that is not enough, Raila Odinga was voted by 26 out of the 47 counties in Kenya and therefore under all circumstances the politically motivated treatment at the JKIA by junior officers should be the last of their kind to happen. Raila is a man who believes in democratic change and loosing in an election does
