  Kibaki is a joker!

  What?
  
  A national holiday to celebrate the election of a US president? Am I the only one who sees this for the asinine decision it is? So what if Barack Obama's father is from Kenya? Is it justification to lose KSh. 3.8 Billion (on an economy of KSh. 1.4 trillion)? You don't see the US making tomorrow a holiday, even though the election of Barack Obama is much more historic and relevant to them.
  
  This Kibaki government is a bunch of lazy, work-phobic, selfish, politics-first fellas who are totally unsuited to meet the challenges of Kenya's economic growth. That's what you get when you elect a bunch of doddering old men!
  
  Disgusting.

  Published here is the speech President Mwai Kibaki made today in New York at the 63rd session of the United Nations General Assembly.
  
  This assembly is taking place at a time of great global challenges such as the energy crisis, high food prices and instability in the financial markets. These are serious problems that could erode the gains the world economy has made in the last ten years.

  How many blind mice?

  It is clear now, that a full month after the much heralded coalition agreement was signed, the signatories are not close to presenting the Kenyan people with a cabinet of ministers. Competing interests include a need by the principals to reward and keep close their main lieutenants, and to balance the cabinet so that those appointed are reflective of the regional and ethnic make-up of the country. The parties are also seen to be haggling about who should take what ministerial portfolio, with the ODM seen to be particularly keen on the Ministry of Finance, and the PNU particularly averse to relinquishing that office.

  Kibaki must now answer back

    From: Kenya Imagine

  Tags:  Kibaki  

  Read This Entry & More At Kenya Imagine

  President Kibaki is a mysterious, inscrutable old man. That in a nutshell is why the opposition for all its boasts about its political prowess has found it impossible to beat him; resorting instead to smashing the chessboard and the pieces. It is difficult to beat an old man whose core strategy is to ignore you.
  
  For Kenya at large, much accustomed as it is to an over-bearing head of state and government, Mwai Kibaki's presidency -for all the calls for a reduction in presidential powers- has proved to be a most introverted one. Apart from a brief series of outings in the campaign period, gone was the constancy of the powerful, omniscient, hectoring, itinerant patriarch. Instead, all that filtered down from the presidency are genially broadcasted progress reports on the growth of the economy, achievements in healthcare and in governance -much of them relayed by the Government Spokesman or the Presidential Press Service.

  Uhuru Park, January 3, 2008

    From: Kenya Imagine

  Read This Entry & More At Kenya Imagine

  On January 3rd, 2008 Raila and the ODM Pentagon have announced a "Million Man March" to Uhuru Park, Nairobi to demonstrate to the government their ire at the flawed electoral tallying process.
  
  The rally, I believe, should go on but the ODM must insist that its supporters not carry sticks, stones or machetes -- and that they do not rape, pillage and steal as they have done in the last few days. If they carry weapons -- even defensive weapons -- they will fritter away any international support and sympathy that they have and encourage the security forces to respond aggressively.

  'Let Raila and Kibaki fight! They are presidents'

    From: Kenya Imagine

  Read This Entry & More At Kenya Imagine

  “Let Raila and Kibaki fight! They are the presidents; we are just people!”
  
  Those, The New York Times reports, are the words of a Luo man interviewed during a march for peace in a Nairobi slum, a march attended by both Kikuyus and Luos. And that really is the message we should be sending to the young men and women killing each other across the country - not the baseless, emotion-charged arguments we continue to see on internet forums.

  New Opinion Polls

    From: Kenya Imagine

  Read This Entry & More At Kenya Imagine

  Steadman has today published new opinion polls that show a shift in voter preferences in the lead up to the General Election. The election date has also been announced. Voting day is 27/12.
  
  The Steadman polls indicate that Raila Odinga's support has fallen from 53% to 50%, the incumbent Mwai Kibaki saw his stock rise from 37% to 39%. The ODM-K candidate had an 8% share of the respondents' support. These changes are within the margins of error and give the impression that not much has changed.
  
  But do these really matter or are Kenyans minds made up? Will ODM's euphoric high be diminished by December 27? Are Kenyans paying more attention to the issues? Join the discussion here.
  
  We also have our own poll. (You will find it at the bottom of the left hand side column of the homepage).

  Why I Will Not Vote for Kibaki

    From: Kenya Imagine

  Later this year, the President will for one of the few times in his tenure as head of state consider the instruction of our constitution. He will dissolve parliament and call an election. In response, under the fierce December sun, Kenyans will go into a frenzied dance and infused with a sense of mission, political debate in the country will take on an even higher pitch as rival camps debate how best to steer this 'great' nation into the First World. The ritual and the circus surrounding it will be brought to a flourish in the marking of small pieces of paper in an arcane ritual that lends us an illusory sense of empowerment. Later still we will be treated to a flourish of a finish with the announcement of a winner, who if opinion polls are anything to go by, should be Emilio Mwai Kibaki.
  
  Stephen Wanyama, " To give an incumbent credit for reforms and improvements he was only completing or for the outcomes of policies that precede him is perhaps the practice throughout the world of voting nations. In our particular case, it is also incredibly irresponsible, for it forgives and blesses the lackadaisical manner in which the country has been run since 2002."
