Alone, Gullibility and More Denials

After Koffi Annan’s visit, Kenyans have been left feeling more alone than even before after the principles hoodwinked the latter that the reform agenda was progressing well and on schedule. The poor man fell for it. It never crossed my mind that the man despite his wide experience in diplomacy and international relations, would turn out to be so gullible like the rest of us. Falling for the same lies that are bandied around the airwaves and of late the print media on what the coalition government thinks is progress on the aforesaid reforms.

I could not help but feel sorry for this country after I watched the chair of the TJRC trying to explain what he thinks his commissions mandate is, all the while going on about the same thing and never getting to the point. The audience was clearly embarrassed by the Chairman’s apparent struggle to make a point and the cameramen were not helping either.

No offence meant but it is this group of fumbling geriatrics’ and overzealous comics such as our very own Alfred Mutua that we don’t need in sensitive positions as they hold. Ambassador Kiplagat was an excellent diplomat in his day but he has outlived his usefulness and should be encouraged to retire and go sit on the chair of his Krep bank as well as his age mates that include the President if any progress towards change, is to ever be achieved. They should be coaxed to leave peacefully by way of civil disobedience despite their capability to arm and inflict violence on the innocent citizenry as has been witnessed before.

Most interesting thing is that they have already started arming people from their communities in readiness for the 2012 elections that are expected to be Kenya’s defining moment as appertains to the country’s future. All this was being reported by the media after some simple investigative journalism, and later denied by the ever ranting police spokesman. My question to the authorities is this, do you need to wait for other parties to investigate real issues and report them for you to carry out post mortems after the damage has already been done? I have always thought your mandate was to serve and protect all and not to serve whoever is in power?

This is all the more reason why we need complete change and fast.
