  Walking into the New Year

    From: Kenya Imagine

  Tags:  post election updates  

  Read This Entry & More At Kenya Imagine

  The world's eyes are on Kenya as we usher in the New Year, perched on the edge of an abyss, an abyss beyond which we could plunge into darkness and death.
  
  With the riots and mayhem of the last few days there is for all of us a sense of loss and little to celebrate considering the cloud of fear hanging over the country. Many of our brothers and sisters are in mourning for those lives we have lost. Our disagreements are threatening to erode many of the important strides we have made.

  Let's be patient

  It has been said that this election and the campaign period preceding it have been far more violent and turbulent than the 2002 election. Still, Kenyans have conducted themselves in a manner that is much to be admired, even if some of their leaders have showed the most poor form.

  Why did we vote the way we did?

    From: Kenya Imagine

  Tags:  election 2007  

  Read This Entry & More At Kenya Imagine

  The results of the election are quickly coming in and reports from around the country indicate very high turnouts. However, it still not clear to me exactly what inspired voters around the country.
  
  High turnouts are a traditional indicator that voters are passionate, that they are not apathetic, that they are involved and want to take charge of their destiny. I want to join with people around the country in their pride about this election, especially in the results on the parliamentary seats. I want to say we are a democratic people, that we have set an example for other third world countries, that all that is left is ensuring accountability, but was there any design to yesterday's vote, or were factors like tribe, manipulation and euphoria more important than an analysis of the candidates?

  Keeping the promise, is it payback time for the Rift Valley?

    From: Kenya Imagine

  The election results are still streaming in and Raila has taken what appears to be an unassailable lead though there are still those hopeful that there are another 3 or so million votes to be counted and these could turn the tables.
  
  But that is not what I want to write about. As most readers will recall, following the 2002 elections, there was this continuous talk of how much the Agikuyu and President Kibaki owed Raila for his triumph over Uhuru Kenyatta. This was repeated so many times it was taken as the truth, and forms part of the casus belli that led to the fallout between the two politicians and their followers.

  The Day After: Friday, 28th December, 2007
  I have a racking headache this morning. Yesterday was a tough, nay, gruelling day. Yeah, and so much so. It was Election Day; the most competitive, much anticipated issue-based election since independence. I was among the last people at the polling station having stood in the hot sun for almost half a day. Read more here.
  
  Election Updates
  Have you any news on the elections? Please share it here. It needn't be anything untoward or alarming, although news of that will be very much appreciated also. Even news on the turnout, any delays in opening and so on is welcome. Are there enough observers about? Are there long queues? Do the Commission's officials look like they will cope with the hard work? Read here as Kenyans give their election experience.
  
  Sources, sources
  This post here has links to different websites that have updated data on the election.
  
  Parliamentary votes, winners and losers
  This election has some big losers. Who are they? Read more here.
  
  Why I did not vote
  I decided to boycott this year's elections. All the candidates running for both parliament and the president's office have been promising the world to the electorate when they know very well that they will not be able deliver nor will they make an effort to do so once assuming public office. Kibaki was the only one silent about the constitutional review and it's adaptation. Read more here.

  Too Close to Call

  You could cut the tension in Nairobi with a knife, everyone seems to have taken sides and even those who have not, are fully aware that this is a high stakes affair with a sense of doom written all over it.
  
  The air is rife with rumours, most of them about an attempt by the government to rig the election. Other topics of fervent discussion include allegations that the government will not hand over to the ODM should it be beaten on Thursday.

  Opinion Polls in Kenya

    From: Kenya Imagine

  Tags:  election 2007  

  Read This Entry & More At Kenya Imagine

  Kenyans have never been very good at predicting election outcomes. In 1992, one Kenneth Matiba was widely expected to beat President Moi at the elections. The buzz about his campaign was like nothing the country had ever seen.
  
  The amount of money he spent on the election was without parallel in our history. He also had the crowds, massive ones and these all over the country. Unlike the other opposition parties which were largely ethnic in their makeup, he had backers in all the provinces and was riding on a wave of euphoria that was truly gigantic. With charisma in buckets, he infected his supporters with such an enthusiasm they struck a real terror in the establishment's heart.

  The hero myth: Nelson Mandela

    From: Kenya Imagine

  Read This Entry & More At Kenya Imagine

  It is unlikely that this will be the first time that you are hearing this. It is not going to be the last time either. Mankind it seems is always looking for a hero, and on finding such a one determined to defend him against all reason.
  
  As such essays go, my arguments must be prefaced with admiration for Nelson Mandela, for his untiring efforts at charity work, his voice of reason against the venal, poisonous global war empire and most of all for his guardianship of South Africa from the tyranny of apartheid and into majority rule - or as many insist on saying, independence.

  Security at your fingertips

  The modern world is a world of advanced technology. The ubiquity of the worldwide web and the global expansion of broadband connectivity and wireless applications have created a new world, changing forever the way that we work.
  
  Last week, I was as stunned as everyone else to learn of the UK government's recent admission that Her Majesty's Revenues and Customs authority had "misplaced" and perhaps even lost 2 CDs containing the personal and financial details of some 25 million families who were in receipt of Child Benefit. It is said that the person or persons in charge of this operation at the Revenue and Customs had simply burned the information onto the CDs and popped them into the ordinary post to be sent off to another department. Yes, imagine the spectacle; we are treated to these Laurel and Hardy antics at a time of heightened security and in an age where identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes worldwide.

  A month before the elections, opinion polls keep showing a stubborn 3-4% of Kenyans that have refused to side with one side over the other. It is not hard to see why.
