The last time I cheked, they all til their shambas daily, na wanaendelea na kazi. Dont have enough idlers to attend rallies at 90% rates. Grandpas, mas, children etc busy milking cows, cutting flowers and mishiri (french beans) for export and they even export fish from the lake too! Dont tell me these things dont grow in Nyanza or did they stop growing bcoz of Kibaki? We must suely blame somebody for our idling around?

I am an ODMer for life but even this cheap propaganda from PNU STINKS for debauchery, connery, thievery and bigotry.<BR/><BR/>We, in ODM, dont bank our hopes on the electorate, we are banking our hopes on the gods of Nyando River, the spirits of Lwanda Magere and such. It is about time, and time has a weird way of making itself, in the course, very very relevant.<BR/><BR/>This is a time of very much thinking and anxiety, we should be silent and wait for what the people will say, so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-26172796392886940342007-12-22T15:09:00.000-08:002007-12-22T15:09:00.000-08:00Its unlikely that I'll be saying anything politica...Its unlikely that I'll be saying anything politically sensible before the poll results are out. I've actually chosen to engage in non-issues in the final four days before the elections. Much like whenever I've been studying for a long awaited exam, I tend to chillax so I go in fresh-optimistic, confident but not quite counting my chicks before they hatch, but watching my egg(s) real hard. <BR/><BR/>But before we get liberated for the umpteenth time or before the kazi endeleas, watu, jienjoyini. From my heart, I'm wishing all and sundry salama safari to and back from home, a very merry Christmas and free and fair elections. <BR/><BR/><BR/>--PKWProud Kikuyu Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04722115487090667454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-47472443597852486082007-12-22T09:13:00.000-08:002007-12-22T09:13:00.000-08:00Why don't we just wait and see?

And both ODM and PNU supporters are so fond of clothing their wishes into some form of op-ed.

PNU is dishing out districts, but how many have been created in central Kenya alone! Lucy Kibaki is dishing out money in Coast and Western, how much has dished in Muranga? School fees is not there but where is the money for food? someone said he would rather pay the fees and eat at home not the reverse! I was astonished!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-74590684310049275732007-12-22T06:33:00.000-08:002007-12-22T06:33:00.000-08:00Kalenjins voted for Moi enmass in two consecutive ...Kalenjins voted for Moi enmass in two consecutive elections and they were not balkanised. Sorry, it is politics and a game of numbers. Dirty at times, change of tactics (Raila Odinga said) and above all, mudslinging to reach certain points.<BR/><BR/>The apogee of an election is getting as many votes as you can and constricting your opponent's reach.<BR/><BR/>In 1992, Moi was against the entire Kiuyu, entire Luo and half the Luhya votes. He was elected president. So was the same in 1997.<BR/><BR/>There is no way that the Kikuyu will be isolated. You cannot and will never live with a tribe that is the biggest in the country isolated. The Hindu in India is an example and the Ibo/Yoruba in Nigeria offer an example. <BR/><BR/>Maina, please whether the Gema region votes for Kibaki or not, it will serve no purpose. Were the Luo isolated when they voted to the last man for Oginga Odinga in 1992. Odinga came running. 'Moi is a GIRAFFE'. IN 1997, were the Luo isolated, Raila went to the extent of selling his party and subsequelntly joining the Moi cabinet. Politics is about understanding.<BR/><BR/>Which tribal elections are you talking about? Tuju is Luo, Kombo is Bukusu, Wanjala in Manyala, Mwakwer and his ilk are Mijikendas, Mungatana is Pokomo, Abdi is Cushitic/Somali/Rendile (et al), Munyao is Kamba. Is it not representative. PLease stop creating imaginary feelings in the name of analysis.<BR/><BR/>Maina, the only way ODM was sure of winning comfortably was with Kalonzo Musyoka at the head. Kalonzo was a more neutral candidate than Raila. It is easy to puncture Raila's parachute. Agressive, tried a coup, 'stole' Kisumu MOlasses plant, signed an MOU with the Muslims, told Asians that he will scrap ETRs, said he will imprison Moi etc. <BR/><BR/>Kalonzo was the best candidate ODM did not have!!!<BR/>-Derek-deroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05968699916143647335noreply@blogger.com
