THE POLITICAL SCENE IN KENYA: Are the Lords of impunity back?

THE POLITICAL SCENE IN KENYA: Are the Lords of impunity back?

Are the Lords of impunity back?

Are the Lords of impunity back?

Kenyans have been treated all along to a circus of deceit with the Lords of impunity who claim to be transforming the state from where it is but just a well planned game and an iceberg of the largest evil scheme.

To date, Kenyans are still hidden from knowing the truth and the reasons behind certain events that the Government had been investigating. To date, we still eagerly wait for the reports of the Ouko Robert’s death, the deaths of Professor George Saitoti and his fellow Orwa Ojode. As if that is not enough, we are still kept waiting for the reports of the death of Hon Mutula Kilonzo who passed on early this year, but the question is, Is it Impunity at work?

Seemingly, the reports were fraudulently done and carried out and being that they contain certain statesmen’ names, the report aren’t in a position to be released trill they are doctored. The latest Waki report has seemingly been doctored by the state house agents so as to hide certain names from being mentioned. This posses a question as to if the Government is in support of Democracy, Justice or Impunity.

But even as these unfolds, Kenyans are yet to be treated to more of the ,”Danganya Toto Jinga game,” as my friend Mohammed Ali of Jicho Pevu puts it.

Even as I pity with the state of the nation and the Kenyan citizens, The Lords of impunity, are making up their game to suit themselves and in so, the country has to be treated to this for the rest of the reign of the ‘Lords’. The country has also played a key role in providing a conducive environment for the advancing of the state of impunity. As a matter of fact, the top Government officials and institutions have been agents of impunity that according to the newly enacted constitution,2010 , should safeguard the office and the rule of law to be precise.

Surprisingly enough, even as things unfold and days pass by, The EX- High Court chief registrar, Gladys Boss Sholei in a press conference today, Monday 21^st October, 2013 said that the 2013 General Elections were politically influenced including the Supreme court verdict to suit a certain tribe and persons. However, she was part of the decision and only speaks after her sacking by the ,’Lords’.

In the events of these and more to come, I still pose my question to you, “Are the Lords’ of Impunity Back?”

Is Kenyan Politics taking a shift?

IS KENYAN POLITICS TAKING A SHIFT?

Probably Economists would agree with me that there are factors apart from price that cause a shift in price. Similarly, Political scientists would agree with me that there are factors that cause a shift in politics. Kenya has however transverse along this path from ethnic politics to more ethnic politics and could be on its way to a shift towards democratic politics but do I say?

In the previous elections, from that of 1992,1997,2002,2007 and 2013, we have experienced a more ehnic politics characterized by political parties and coalitions formed along political ethnic divides with 2013 providing the best example of CORD Coalition {among Luos, Luhyas ‘,Kisiis’ and Kambas } ,JUBILEE Coalition {among Kikuyu and Kalenjins} and AMANI Coalition{among Luhyas}.

The call by several leaders to have a free and fair election has however also received a setback as every electioneering period, there is always a rigging claim.

However, in the recent past, we have witnessed citizens embrace democratic principles and even shun certain leaders who are not pro-development. Just recently senator Murkomen was silenced while in Kericho that is his backyard, as he spoke bad against the devolution bill that is in the floor of the house. During the Westgate attack, we also saw leaders put aside their differences to preach peace and similarly, the citizens put aside their differences to help those who were casualties of the terrorist attack.

Kenyans have also transformed to respect each other despite their differences and political ideologies. This has been evidenced during the previous election that some had postulated to have been similar to the 2007 or even worse that that.

The flame of Freedom

THE FLAME OF FREEDOM..

Former Prime Minister and leaders of the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy, Rt Honourable Raila Odinga has launched his autobiography, 'THE FLAME OF FREEDOM',

during the book launch., last Sunday, the Ex-Pm called upon those who had been mention in the book, in bad light, to forgive him.

 

The launching even that took place at KICC, was attended by Former Nigerian President Olesagun Obasanjo, Former Vice President Hon Kalonzo Musyoka, Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero, and other Governors, Senators, Members of parliament as well as other invited guests.

 

He regretted that the Kenya prisons had not returned his writings since his confinement in the 1980s.

The book opens the Odinga family, probably the most talked about political family in independent Kenya, to a public that has shown two distinctive traits towards anything Odinga- a phobia and a mania.

However, this may not be the last of Odinga’s books because it reveals very little about the 1982 coup attempt which political opponents have often used to malign the former PM as a power hungry individual.

the book also gives a vivid account of the post election violence together with the ICC matters and how the names of the six landed at the court. Raila also speaks about the 2013 elections and how his political life has been,

simingly, this is a MUST-READ book for Kenyans , political leaders including his opponents and even his lovers. possibly, it could be the highest selling in the market today.
