Kenyan Politics And The Biggest Lie And Betrayal By Candidate Kibaki

There is no doubt that Kenyan politics has changed a lot since 2002 and continues to change. However one thing that cannot be changed are the historical facts and most notably the historical facts behind the successful candidature of one Mwai Kibaki. The big question Kenyan voters will have to ask themselves in the forthcoming general elections is of they can trust their country once again to somebody who short-changed and betrayed his colleagues.

Kenyans who have a memory worth of repute will remember that one of the issues that the initial Kibaki-Kijana Wamalwa-Ngilu group kept on talking about was that the country badly needed one-term presidents to help fight tribalism and other terrible consequences from years of Moi mis-rule. The late Kijana Wamalwa once said in a speech that was widely publicized on TV shortly after his death in a London hospital, that Kibaki would go for one term, leave it to Wamlawa who would leave the presidency for yet another Kenyan.

Today, not only has the Kibaki camp conveniently chosen to forget those noble declarations made which were for the good of the Kenyan people, but anybody who dares bring them to remembrance is labeled a liar. But sincerely who is the liar? The dead Wamalwa Kijana who so eloquently and clearly verbalized the agreement the three=then opposition king pins made?

Some analysts don't even blame Kibaki. Instead the point to the fact that something is bound to happen to any mortal who rises to become president of Kenya that will suddenly cause them to have a serious bout of amnesia over anything they said or promised during their campaign trail. The office of President of Kenya is so powerful that it will not fail to go into any good person's head and turn them from a popular democrat to an evil autocrat in short order.

Other major promises of the Kibaki campaign team were a new constitution within 100 days, zero tolerance to corruption and 500,000 new jobs created annually. Alas today the Kibaki team chooses to ignore and forget "all that mumbo jumbo" and instead concentrates on what they believe are their achievements as they prepare to go all out for the re-election of candidate Mwai Kibaki.

Is this the curse of Kenyan politics, that candidates will forever lie to the Kenyan electorate, telling us one thing and then not bothering to remember, let alone attempting to do what they promised, once they are safely inside the State House compound? Will Kenyan politics continue to be dominated by the ruling class who have no time for the ordinary mwananchi and their every day problems (mostly created by the same politicians)?
