ODM-K Vs NARC-K TODAY:OF WOLVES AND FOXES:BY GEOFFREY MAKEKE

Hello Members, Today I break my rather long silence and make my contributions to the raging debates on the wolf or the fox theories as advanced by my friend and comrade Fwamba. It’s not only Ted’s appointment to the NARK K Election Board that is supposed to galvanize our fellow youths to support this outfit of self seekers. To respond to this, ODM K has the largest amount of young people who hold even more strategic positions than the one held by Ted. A few examples are here, Mr. Mwange Kiganda, a current masters finalist student at the UON represents the Youth constituency in the powerful ODM K election board, Jakakimba, Obura, Mbara, among many other comrades who we know are involved in manning the ODM K secretariat. However, it is both lazy and unimaginative to assume that since the above group of youths has found favour in the eyes of the different personalities within the wolf and fox kingdoms, then our interests as youths with political interests are automatically catered for. Rather, we need to identify the ideological pivot of both parties and ask our selves whether this political directions would suit the interests of us the youths and in essence the general citizenry. This issue would bring us to the fundamental flaws that have existed within the political fabric of this country. In then analyzing the entire political debacle and the subsequent monotonies of apparent economic growth by the corrupt regime of Kibaki, one would objectively decide whether to choose the political wing of political monarchs who at least have an agenda for change or for the current ruling elites who will use all their might to preserve status quo. Karl Marx made very interesting observations on revolutions and how they are sustained. I beg to share this principles with you: When the political systems of a given regime become strictly tyrannical and oppressive to the larger majority of the citizenry, the masses always revolt. They vehemently refuse to be used, and decide to take the power upon themselves, since they are the sovereign owners of any power. This leads to the isolation of the bourgeoisie by the socialist labourers, poor peasants, pauperized vendors and the hugely marginalized classes of the citizenry. These groups then merge with the middle income earners whom Marx calls the proletariats and with sheer determination begin to plan for the eventual revolution/liberati on. The usual tragedy here is that a section of the bourgeoisie on sensing the looming danger rush towards the reformists and now act as the new donors to the reform movement, hence ironically, due to the fact that revolutions are very expensive affairs, this group of elites are accorded golden treatment and together a formidable team is created to finalize the liberation. Hence to this end, revolutions are usually corrupted when the rich are sucked into the reform agenda. But still the revolution occurs and when the ululations and celebrations begin, these groups of the rich are the ones funding even the celebration parties. But the reform agenda will continue, with sections of the rich being active ingredients to the process. This is the role of the ODM Kenya in the current struggle for fresh political orientations in the country. We would have liked to support Fwamba`s theory of being party to the fox politics, but this would be agreeing to conform to the selfish and centrist political dispensation of Kibaki’s regime. NO, this country deserves better, and no reason whatsoever can be used to convince me that Kibaki is a better risk. For all we know, he is bent on preserving the status quo position. Reforms can only be advocated by the socialist class, fueled by the power-hungry section of the elitist monarchist politicians that Fwamba has decided to disparage. The monarchist leaders could well be the devil incarnate, but they will appeal to the rebellious attitude within the masses tired of being fed on endless political rhetoric of deceit and hate. Thus it is clearly evident that to sustain any economic development, the Orange movement is the best bet for any serious reformist in Kenya today. The masses will make their final verdict, and all the proponents of status quo will be ghastly thrown asunder. Orange is the ultimate prize of the next liberation, and Raila is central in this scheme of things.
