*I ACCUSE KENYA*


As per this evening, 209 lives had been lost in post-election violence, 108,
000 families will rest in tree shades without home and hope for a future, A
workforce of more than 9 Million People will not wake up tomorrow with any
expectation of going to work and the 2 Billions Shillings that the Kenya
People make daily to support there Economy will not come their way since the
Nairobi Stock Exchange Center suspended trading due to post-election
castigated violence. The President of Kenya, Hon. Mwai Kibaki, who has since
his election in 2002, been applauded for exemplary Economic growth, Free
primary Education and a wider democratic space will continue to be accused
by the opposition for the Electoral malpractices that occurred in the just
ended general election.

As this happens, the Orange Democratic Party will be engaged in crossed door
discussions planning and drafting their next press statement in regards to
election violence and the media fraternity will be prepared once again for a
long day tomorrow to offer coverage to Hon. Raila Odinga and his War men of
ODM and Kibaki Stewarts in PNU.



In the evening, I will watch as the media reports about these candidates,
the media will show each party accusing the other of rigging, it will tell
us of their plan to take each other to court and more so will show us
glaring pictures of the 34 Women and Children who were burnt in a church for
one cardinal crime belonging to an ethnicity that isn't associated with Hon.
Raila Odinga. It will show with much enthusiasm pictures of the Africa
Inland Church as it burns to Ashes, the only crime being to have offered a
haven for individual's fleeing the violence in fear of their lives.



After an advertisement about peace, the media will show more pictures of
riots, it will show young people looting a shop in Kisumu, torching down
houses in Eldoret and stoning vehicles in the Coast province.



After another advertisement of commercial nature, Hon. Raila Odinga will
appear in the screens calling his supporters for peace, and then there will
be his Stewarts re-affirming that call. The only problem is that a day
earlier the same individuals had talked about Kenya becoming like all the
other war-tone countries, they had offered on expertise though not trained
on conflict and more so they had diagnosed the what are the causes of the
war, its rise and more so what leads to its fall.



As we watch, the pain lingers, the bitterness will deepen and we will argue
with our friends, refuse to talk with some in the process and for extremist
kill those who do not agree with our leader's statement. Then, we will
languish and loose our right to life and property as we fight battles with
each other for leaders who do not lead by example.



But we will not be alone, The International community will be busy issuing
statements one after another calling for dialogue and peace, the press
statements will be issued so frequent and often by the Diplomatic Missions
you might think that there is a G8 Summit happening right here in Kenya and
all the World Leaders including the Pope Benedict the XVI are attending.



As this happens, the Leaders will drive around in the slums with the latest
top cars from Germany, Britain and Singapore. They will drive in the streets
with no less than four bodyguards each armed and an escort car to boot. More
so, they will coincidentally meet in ravish hotels and display the latest
mobile telephony. Their houses will be a display of wealth in full splendor
leaving their followers with no other ambition expect hope, hope to get to
heaven and enjoy the free palace claimed to be given by those who profess
the Faith of the Nazareth. Their Children grinning with health, peace and
security will also be their standing next to their fathers and mothers
calling on the populace caring to listen to reject a system that oppress
them.



The main steam media will be their in their hundreds, the flash lights will
make a poor man blind and some will no be mistaken to think they are
watching some kind of Hollywood blitz. Their pictures will splash in the
diaries the next day and individuals who are rather not used to this, might
find themselves wondering if the Kenya leadership keep winning the Nobel
Peace prize everyday.



By contract, the populace standing and listening will manifest ill-health
and bigotry, they will look uneducated and when they talk to express, their
words will be full of mediocrity, sycophancy and ignorance.



Welcome to Kenya 2008, Our Elections were rigged; I am sure by now that
simple fact you know. 209 Lives are not worth to achieve an ambition whether
it's Mwai Kibaki or Raila Odinga or William Ruto or Tom, Dick and Harry!



You cannot govern a nation that is at war with itself, you cannot rule a
Nation that it's people are divided on social class yet they presume it's
tribal ethnicity, We cannot have a Nation where the media is so sensational
that it chooses the news that amuses the public rather than those that
informs the public.

The older generation has failed its young lambs; it is selfish,
self-centered, power hungry and will stop at nothing to achieve personal
power. All individuals currently claiming to be sheep's in a goat's camp
were goats in goat camps in yesteryears.

Hon Raila Odinga purchased the Molasses plant far behind the Market value in
Nyayo Era, Hon. William Ruto is alleged to have grabbed Cemetery land and
sold it back to the National Social Security Fund at an exorbitant prize,
Hon. Musalia Mudavadi was one of the architects in the 1992 Goldenberg Scam,
Hon. Nyanga actually accepted that they did rig elections in Moi' s Era
during a recent press briefing by ECK, Hon. Kibaki was the Moi's Vice
President for 10 years and during the clamor for multiparty democracy he
made the remark that, "you cannot cut a Mugomo tree will a razor blade, Mr.
William Ole Ntimama castigated the Molo clashes with his famous remark, "Let
the Kikuyu lie low like an Antelope and Sally Kosgey the newly elected
Member of parliament was the Head of Public Service in Moi's Cabinet when
the Nyayo Torture Chambers were used to curtail democratic freedom. Mr.
Kalonzo Musyoka served as Moi's Minister for Foreign Affairs during the dark
days when women were raped by a unit known as Special Branch, where
lawlessness was the order of the day and where research institutions
collapsed due to limited funding and public looting. Hon. Moody Awori the
current Vice President was an Assistant Minister in Moi's era while Hon.
Uhuru Kenyatta, his father was accused of grabbing a large piece of land
during the post-independent era. Hon. Otieno Kajwang was removed from the
lawyers list for stealing client money (actually the forum is independent of
Government interference) He has since being elected as a Member of
Parliament for Mbita.


It is time to stand-up and be counted, refuse to be drawn in allegations and
counter allegations that inspire the violence, castigate the bitterness and
divide a nation that was once the most stable democracy in Africa.

The older generation has failed its young lambs; it is selfish,
self-centered, power hungry and will stop at nothing to achieve individual
personal power. All individuals currently claiming to be sheep's in a goat's
camp were goats in goat's camps in yesteryears.



I accuse Kenya, Who is fooling who?
