Those Who Do Not Want To Vote For Kibaki Can Go To Another Country, First Lady Tells Kenyans

First lady Lucy Kibaki is known by most Kenyans for her usually controversial pronouncements.

For example her statement captured on national TV some time back where she said: Mimi kama rais is still fresh on the minds of many.

Still the PNU campaign team seems convinced that she can add value to the president’s campaign.

So much so that recently she had her allowance increased from KShs 350,000 a month to Kshs 500,000 a month. Reasons given were “increased social responsibilities.” Top ODM officials wasted no time in urging Lucy to reject her pay rise in the same spirit that her husband had rejected his given by parliament earlier this year.

There is nothing wrong in the fact that the first lady now has a budget, staff and an office in NHIF house in Nairobi. The only problem is that it was never announced to Kenyans and we have come to find out at the eleventh hour.

Even more worrying is the fact that it is rather obvious that the first lady’s itinerary in recent months has been filled with functions whose only objective is to campaign for her husband the president. Could this be the “increased social responsibilities,” cited for increasing her monthly allowances so heftily?

The first lady’s office has then promptly gone ahead to use tax payer’s funds to provoke wananchi with inflammatory statements like the one she recently made urging all those who do not want to vote for President Kibaki “to go to another country.”

All this is happening behind a back drop where her dramatic “raid” on the Nation offices where she damaged a KTN cameraman’s camera are still vivid on the minds of most Kenyans.

One would think that in view of this, she is a liability to president Kibaki’s re-election campaigns rather than an asset.

ODM Distributed Hate Literature Against Its’ Own Presidential Candidate, Says PNU

The Two APs arrested for being caught red handed distributing the hate posters and flyers in the Rift Valley have been freed. But not before Kenyans were treated to high drama.

The government started off by dismissing the early reports made public by ODM on the existence of the controversial posters. Using the police department the government sternly warned Prof Nyang Nyong’o for his cheap publicity stunts and even as the press conference was going on, the APs and some civilians were being arrested.

This was followed by a statement form the Administration police spokesman saying that after accounting for all their men, they could confirm that the two men arrested were NOT APs. KTN later obtained the two men’s full names and force number which they released to the public.

Now the latest in this highly amusing drama is that PNU says that the hate literature was in fact distributed by ODM people.

The truth is that all politicians tell lies when it suits them. ODM presidential candidate Raila Odinga initially told Kenyans that there was no MOU signed between him and the Muslims only to later retract that statement under immense public pressure.

However this latest chain of lies by the government and PNU breaks all records and leaves the question; if these guys are willing to lie in broad daylight and abuse the intelligence of Kenyan voters, what else have they done that we do not yet know about?
