…My dear fellow Kenyans, the future has started
On the day when the leading story in local newspapers is about AG Amos Wako going off to a secret location to draft the new constitution, that is doomed to be rejected by the people of Kenya, and when a commentary in the Daily Nation talks about President Kibaki “outfoxing them all”, a wind of refreshing change is quietly sweeping across the nation of Kenya.
This morning I received an email from the email address newleadershipforkenya at yahoo.com. no doubt one of the many initiatives by young Kenyans (of which this blog is one of them) to bring about positive changes in our beloved country and to send the blundering wazess (who have blundered and eaten enough) home to rest.
The email was brief and simply stated that there was a possibility of persuading Titus Naikuni to stand for President in 2007. The email asked the following questions.
· What are your views on this possible development?
· Do you think Kenya needs new people/faces?
· Do you have a proposal/alternative for political leadership in Kenya?
Regular readers of this blog will know all the answers to those questions as far as we are concerned. But the really exciting thing about this development is that a search for a leader has begun. No doubt numerous other names will be brought forward as 2007 draws closer.
We are strongly of the opinion that the new breed of leaders that Kenya should seek should be of persons born after independence or thereabouts. You can clearly see that the views of Uhuru Kenyatta are constantly different and at loggerheads with those of the old guard who are now firmly in control of the throne of Kenya. These guys most of who fear to merely stand near a computer, let alone surf the net. So if good ‘ol Titus Naikuni falls into this bracket of the young new generation, we will fully back him.
We are NOT putting forward Uhuru Kenyatta’s name because despite the excellent job he has done and continues to do so far, various factors disqualify him including the fact that we are in support of very radical and sweeping change that will bring in totally new faces, preferably Kenyans who have not been in politics before. A totally new generation to start a totally new chapter. Just like things were that heady day of December, the year 1963.
What do you think?
