As an ODM supporter, it pains me to see that the Prime Minister takes the advice of politicians and his relatives, when he should engage smart technocrats to give superb advice on how to handle technical issues. this is where kibaki beats him hands down.<br /><br />plus ODM should be wary of a new election cos they ought to know that though they may have vast support, most of their voters are not dependable (especially luhyas and coastarians) and might not show up at the ballot box (unlike the PNU one). The possibility of loosing is high unless they do voter education instead of politiking.<br /><br />And why would we go for elections without reforms?

If the mps vote against the HBC, then parliament cannot transact any business for six months.

Marende may disregard the president's appointment and make his own ruling based on parliament standing orders or his intepretation. One thing he may do is to put the house to vote and you know definately who will be the winner. Second, he may choose to ingnore the position of head of HBC. Third, if he chooses to support president's choice (which is what you support) the ODM mps will initiate vote of no confidence on Kalonzo which will go through because ODM has the numbers. So what will the President have achieved by choosing Kalonzo?
