RAILA EJECTION AND THE LESSON TO KENYAN VOTERS

The ejection of ODM presidential hopeful Raila Odinga and his entourage from a hotel owned by a relative of president Kibaki was a primitive act that should not only be condemned but has no place in the modern civilization. It must be noted that whatever the reason was such an action reflected on how polarized our country is along tribal lines. we can remember Raila himself proved that he was not a tribalism when he declared ‘Kibaki tussah’ in 2002.But now its coming to a point where some people in this country believe that the seat of the president is their preserve and whoever else seeks it is an enemy who doesn’t deserve any hospitality even if he is paying for it. It is shame if at all Raila’s ejection was as a result of a tall order from a senior family member of Hon. Mwai Kibaki as its being speculated. Such primitive characters have not had an opportunity to learn consequences of such primitive actions. Many will remember, the Nazi holocaust, racial hatred, the infamous Rwanda genocide which resulted from hatred between Tutsis and Hutus and the scenario where celebrated author and lecturer Prof.Ngugi wa Thiong’o was ejected from an hotel in California purportedly meant for whites only .Those ignorant of history and ignorant of global political trends do not know repercussions of such actions. Its time for Kenyans as elections approach to teach such people a lesson through the ballot. It doesn’t matter whether such people win or not but a statement should be made by us denying them our votes and rethinking on any other alternative. If president Kibaki supporters and relatives can show such manners to his opponents, then they stand warned that even their candidate since they have decided to own him should not campaign outside Nyeri or Central province in that matter. Such actions easily convince me that Kenyans need to wake up (Amkeni Wakenya). I have been watching so many things going on in the Kibaki camp for the last few months, and this proves how tribalistic some of these people are. It will be as you have witnessed in the last five years that when they say they have a government of national unity, only a few political leaders from other communities benefit while other great opportunities such as high profile appointments and government tenders go to one specific community. It is a sad affair. Our earlier intentions to support Kibaki should be re considered basing on the fact that many things have happened since. Its time for political realignment and we must only go where we are respected and recognized. Not where we are going to rubberstamp other peoples fortunes. We have less than 100 days to election and that means we need to make a decision that makes sense to us and our interests, especially the young people both in western province and other parts of the country. If Kibaki team will be such a group, well if not we will certainly decide. We should not be as cheap like our leaders of national stature who are benefiting at our expense and promising Kibaki that they will mobilize us to vote for him. It is a known fact that our political leaders in western were well contented when Kibaki cancelled debts for coffee farmers and tea farmers but when he came to western province he dilly dallied about the plight of the sugar cane and maize farmers. Then the leaders celebrated. Its corruption, tribalism and compromise of a few minority to manipulate the poor uninformed majority. It must also be noted that when Kibaki went to western province to create districts and start foundations for markets, some lobby group of made up of people from his province came and launched some outfit in Kakamega and declared that all western province is for Kibaki.they hereby stand warned that should they risk to go back to kakamega, whoever they should blame is only themselves. That is the trend they have created including appointing a person of central province to be a coordinator for western province. We are certainly against this kind of behavior and we promise to use any necessary force to deal with them should they ever attempt to continue with these actions. They have taken us for granted because our political leaders like Kombo and Kituyi and moody have decided to auction luhyas on the stake. How could the president come to western province, leave without addressing the sugar cane issue and these guys are still singing that the Kibaki has a development record? Does it make sense if he gives everything to central province and we celebrate by getting the left over, just like what the field Negro (slaves) used to eat after being beaten from morning to night. Am informed that a Mr.Njoroge is the coordinator for western for a Kibaki campaign group. As I write this am hereby informing all you guys who support Kibaki and belong to this yahoo group and you come from western to refuse that kind of arrangement. All our networks in western province should share this information. Let us not rubberstamp the benefits the ministers have gained at our expense. We wanted to learn them and we actually discovered what they are. We will call you for a meeting soon to deliberate on this. We will only support whoever will show value to us and also have space for us. This decision comes after a series of deliberations and evidence that the people campaigning for Kibaki are nothing but a bunch of self centered bunch of tribalists.we have a vision to save the future of our people and not through Mwai Kibaki…we will tell you who. Forward this message to other contacts both in Kenya and outside. We will call a meeting soon over this…our initial support of Kibaki was important because without which we wouldn’t have known some of the evils these people commit. It will be time to spill the beans. While Kituyi, Kombo, and Awori, Kirwa trade with Kibaki they get compromised and pretend to be representing us. Young people wake up and save our country from scavengers, both old and others living amongst us, don’t be used as rubberstamps .Let them campaign in their villages since they think they can go far on their own. Because we are trying to save Kenya as they struggle to rape her. FWAMBA NC FWAMBA
