I keep on saying in this blog that the stakes in the forthcoming polls are so high that they have never been this high, ever. The truth is that there are quite a number of people, who need to put just one foot wrong and they will be behind bars come January 2008. They know this, and you can be sure that they do not get much sleep these days.
Keen political analaysts agree that all the signs are there that the ordinary mwananchi is coming to his own and demanding more and more from our leaders. This is one trend that has caught the Kibaki administration completely unawares and to this moment they still do not honestly understand what the problems is.
They have dished out title deeds, they have re-opened factories (some of them commercially unviable) and recently they have promised free secondary school education. They have done everything they know top do and yet to them the ordinary folk are just being incited by rubble rousers in the name of leading ODM presidential candidates.
Actually what they have not seen is exactly what the King of France did not see right up to the storming of the Bastille prison (that was the beginning of the French Revolution). Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that a guillotine or firing squad is on the way for those who have looted and raped Kenya. What I am saying is that the ballot box will shock many in this year’s general elections.
Just watch the Magarini by-elections slotted for Monday and you will get a glimpse of the phenomenon that I am talking about. The coast province has always been a happy hunting ground for President Kibaki, but this time around, something has changed. I have no idea what reason his handlers are giving for it but I submit it is simply that the people are not the same and they shall never be the same again. From now on it will be a wee bit harder to cheat the masses with abandon. Even people who claim large following amongst the masses like Hon Raila Odinga need to be very careful. It is no secret that the Langata MP told the masses a lot of lies about the proposed new constitution and recently he told another one when he said that he would finance his programs using looted cash brought back. Thios is a lie because common sense tells you that you do not budget cahs that is in somebody else’s pocket, especially when it I obvious that the person will resist any recovery attempt on the cash.
Watch this space starting Tuesday because we will analyze what I call the warm up, better than any Steadmann poll in telling us exactly what the ordinary Kenyan on the ground is really thinking of doing come December 2007.

Chris, instead of analysing the stakes at this by elections, you haveconveniently forgotten to tell us that state resources are being abused in campaigning for the NARC -K candidate and that government ministers are abusing their official previleges to openly campaign for Mr. Kombe Harrison?
ReplyDeleteDont you think we already know who the winner will be? And that our own ECK is a complete toothless bulldog, especially when the ECK Chairman is himself campaigning to have his own tenure renewed by the President?
This can hardly be called democracy bu they are the same tricks which sustained Moi for 24 years (including 10 years in multi-party era) as a minority president.
Are you ready to eat crow??? Problem with guys like you is underestimating real info on the ground.
