What is the difference between Narc and Narc-Kenya? Would an ordinary Kenyan deep in the rural areas who has hardly seen the inside of a classroom understand that difference? Why is it that ODM-Kenya leading lights have insisted so much on the party symbol being an orange, going even to the extent of demonstrating outside the Electoral Commission of Kenya offices when it looked like they would be denied? Is this with a view of continuing with the same lies of the November 2005 Referendum?

JM Kariuki. He did not live to see this happen although he lost his life because of this quote. This describes Kenya pretty well today although you'll have to replace the word 'millionaire' with the word 'bilionaire'.
============================
But even before taking a look at this most recent examples of political cons designed to take advantage of the masses of Kenyans deep in rural areas and with limited education and exposure, let us look at some of the famous tricks used in the past.
Did you know that there was a time when former President Moi supporters got thousands of people to vote Moi by telling illiterate voters who were being assisted to vote that by putting the "X" next to his name meant that you were casting a vote to reject that candidate. Believe it or not many voters already embarrassed and feeling rather exposed, quickly followed the advice without thinking too much about it and ended up casting a vote in favor of Moi.
You can be sure that voters in the mounting number of clash-hit areas in the region will be told many interesting lies to force their vote in a certain desired direction.
Concerning ODM-Kenya here are a few lies that the village folk may hear;
Vote orange like in the referendum otherwise the same flawed constitution which we told you would take many things from you including your land will be passed. By Voting the other side you will be bringing it back and passing it. Voting orange is the only safe thing to do. (During the November 1995, rural folk were told a lot of lies about the proposed new constitution by Orange campaigners. The chief culprit here was one Raila Odinga. This is one of the reasons why Martha Karua lost her head and called Raila uncircumcised.)
In favor of Narc Kenya;
This is the same party that removed Moi from power. If you vote for that Luo who defected from our Narc party, Kenya will be returned to tyranny. (The truth is that the current Narc-Kenya bears no resemblance whatsoever to the original National Rainbow Coalition that swept President Kibaki into power).
If you vote for ODM, the way you have seen so many free oranges today, the same will continue countrywide after the elections (very few Kenyans are privileged enough to enjoy the luxury of an orange as was proved during the referendum when many hungry Kenyans couldn't bear just looking at the oranges and bananas being used as symbols for the referendum and many scrambled and caused stampedes for the fruits in many parts of the country.)
Quick business tip: Orange traders should start preparing their stock of oranges because I predict a huge demand for them towards the end of the year and serious shortages countrywide.
If you vote ODM free primary school education will end because Narc will leave with it. (This may be used to counter one of the most visible Kibaki government achievements of free primary school education, at least in most rural areas countrywide).
Mercifully (because I do not want to end this post on a negative note) there are many cons that no longer work. One notorious one in the Moi days was the interference with ballot boxes between the polling stations and the constituency counting halls. Either identical ballot boxes prepared in advance were used or boxes that were known to come from an opponents stronghold disappeared altogether never to be seen again. The practice of counting votes at each polling station is the best thing that ever happened to the election process in Kenya (although ballot boxes still disappear, I have no idea how.)

Bura Skirmishes Prove That Clashes Are Sponsored By The Government
archive
Those on the ground in Bura, location of the latest land clashes to break out in Kenya in the run up to the general elections, say that certain "sponsors" to the violence promised to cross the border to Somalia to obtain the arms to permanently eject another community from the area.
Incase you did not know, even a mouse would have tremendous difficulties crossing the border into Somalia anywhere along the coastal strip, let alone smuggling arms back into the country. There is a very heavy presence of security personnel in the area, which includes American troops currently on an intensive mop up operation to arrest suspected terrorists crossing the border into Kenya.
This monitoring includes the latest state of the art "satellite spying" which will detect and even zoom in for verification on any movement anywhere along that border. So what sort of person would be able to obtain arms close to that border. Figure out that one for yourself.
Even as analysts, self appointed and otherwise try to puzzle out why it is that that there are so many violent skirmishes countrywide, the fact that all this is happening in the run up to the general elections should be clear evidence that perpetrators have some sort of government protection and assistance. This is Darfur in Kenya all over again except that unlike Sudan that only has one Darfur, we in Kenya now have 3 Darfurs and counting.
Shortly after the Moi era ended, a former powerful minister of State in the office of the president Burudi Nabwera gave the nation the first piece of evidence that the so-called land clashes that started shortly after the repel of the notorious section 2(a) amendment to the constitution were sponsored by government in more ways than Kenyans would imagine. Nabwera in reply to accusations from retired President Moi about arrows imported into the country from South Korea told a shocked nation that Moi himself and his closest and most trusted lieutenants supervised the importation of those arrows, used to kill and maim thousands of Kenyans mainly in the Rift Valley region.
An interesting aside here is that the section 2a amendment (that was a contradiction to most of the rest of the constitution) was ironically sponsored by Mwai Kibaki, who was then Vice president and leader of government business. The small clause made Kenya a de jure one-party state and outlawed competitive politics by officially making it illegal for any other political party to be formed other than the mama na baba Kanu of the time.
Those in president Moi's political think tank then, quickly recommended other methods of retaining power in a situation where there is competitive politics and the governments continuity is threatened. It is sad that the very same tactics used then are still in use today, going to 5 years since Moi left power.
