Githongo Turns Down Presidential Bid... For Now
Asked recently by a New York journalist whether he was considering running for President, Kenyan hero John Githongo quipped that everybody seems to be asking him that question these days. (Clear evidence that a campaign that was launched by this blog has quickly spread far and wide).
Githongo added that he had no rural constituency left because all his fellow tribesmen (the Kikuyu) must have turned against him by now for betraying his tribes-mates.
You're wrong John. Right now you can stand in virtually any constituency in Kenya and still have a very good chance of winning. You are the face of the new generation of Kenyans who have little or no regard for tribal affiliations and sentiments and whose time has come. We urge you to re-consider.
