2007:THE YEAR OF RECKONING

Comrades, Brothers, sisters, friends and enemies, Happy New Year 2007 to you all. Its my take and I believe everyone’s understanding that whatever makes a true politician is ability to foresee the future and act in/on time. It’s agreeable that the current scenario in Kenyan politics is forming government of coaltions.even in these coalitions it seems valueless if you are in a mega euphoric political party that doesn’t necessarily subscribe to any ideology where you are o foot soldier. It doesn’t matter much to you as an individual whether that party wins or looses election. The stakes will be insignificant. At our age, comrades, and both those in government and in opposition I beseech you that it will be in vain to continue being tails of some organization when we have intentions of heading this country. We can’t head this country if we remain followers instead of leaders. I refuse to believe that the only positions we can occupy in parties is ‘’youth leader’’, ‘’goon for hire’’, or ‘’handout seeker’’. I find some of these parties are already too congested with power hungry characters that not only see young people as threats to their power but as potential people to make them irrelevant with time. That’s why I believe we must wake up and focus on reaching where we have space that can prepare us for leadership before time runs out. It’s my suggestion to all of you whether you are a government sympathizer or in opposition. I know some of you comrades especially those in narc Kenya are busy doing grassroots campaign right now…I also know that your member of parliament you want to oppose is one of the narc-k founders….so if you are serious about your political ambition you must sincerely see sense in my writings.. It’s our duty now to shop around and see where we can belong and what we can own. Most of you comrades understand and know that at the university we were able to campaign and win elections without these old folks. We don’t have followed them daily. We need to show our people and supporters our new ways of doing things. I believe that amongst us we have better leaders than most of them. It’s our time to stand and be counted while upholding our political moral ideologies. Just like in 1980s and early 90s people like Paul Muite, Gitobu Imanyara, Njeru Kathangu, George Anyona, James Orengo, Mwandawiro, wafula Buke and others. This is our only opportunity to put things in order. According to that belief, I don’t think that it will be wise for us to claim membership of Narc Kenya , ODM Kenya, just as foot soldiers. Since I strongly believe we have a big constituency on our own, I strongly request all of us to work towards joining any political party that will have us either in charge or well recognized within its leadership structures. I reiterate that it’s our time to lead not to follow. I know towards election time it will be a political battle of two titans. Am sure the party we will join will be on one of the two opposing sides. The party we would have joined must by principle join one of the two forces so that we are part of power sharing agreement either in the civil service, legislature and other top government appointments. If you guys continue following euphorically, the majority of us may never benefit. Am going to check manifestos of various parties and the leaders of those parties, then I will later get in touch and update you accordingly. I will inform you where our space can be found.costructive queries are welcome.so,whisper when you say ''Tiger is the messenger of the many. FWAMBA NC FWAMBA
