Moi and his cronies introduced the constitutional amendment requiring a president to garner at least 25 per cent of the votes cast in 5 provinces out of the total of 8 as an extra safety valve and precaution against losing the presidential elections. This amendment was clearly targeted at the feared Kikuyu vote in the opposition. The arithmetic clearly showed that a Kikuyu candidate who could get the support of the entire community was capable of getting enough votes to win the presidency. This is further evidence that Moi must have rigged both the 1992 and 1997 elections in his favor. The truth is that Matiba won in 1992 and Kibaki won in 1997.
Now Raila and company want to introduce yet another anti-Kikuyu law. This time the 50 per cent plus one amendment. It is clear that under the current law all the president needs is for the Kikuyu to vote as a bloc with minimal support from a few communities, and he will romp back to State House without breaking into a sweat. There is also enough Kikuyu influence in Central province, Nairobi, Rift Valley, Eastern province to give him his 25 per cent (is this the same calculation Moi did to arrive at 5 provinces instead of 4?). The President would therefore need only one more province. He can use the provincial administration to guarantee 25 per cent in North Eastern or he can distribute title deeds in Coast province to get his 5th province there.
Whatever your views are on the Kikuyu the fact still remains that they are Kenyans and the motive behind the proposed new law is WRONG. Kenyans need to sit down and openly discuss this issue and find a long-term solution, otherwise it will forver come back to haunt us.
The way to do it is NOT to play dangerous cards under the table while you smile warmly to each other above the table. That is called hypocrisy. Kenyans, it seems, love playing the hypocrite.

Jimnah Mbaru's Ridiculous Declaration
Talking of hypocrites I am still laughing as I write this after observing Jimnah Mbaru's body language as he recently stood before intelligent Kenyans and told them that if ODM Kenya remained intact and fielded one candidate in the forthcoming elections, it would cause uncertainty on the Nairobi stock exchange.
As the man was saying this his hands were fidgeting and his eyes were darting all over the place. What rubbish. No wonder there was loud laughter from the audience in reaction to his comment.
What Mr Mbaru was saying was that if Kibaki is not re-elected, it will cause uncertainty in the stock exchange.
Please note that I have included this post as a joke and not something for serious comment or analysis because Mr Mbaru's comments in this case do not deserve that.
