WE NEED PEACEFUL KENYA
On 4th March 2013, our beautiful country will be on all world media houses, cause, General election.
Kenyans will be voting for the fourth President after the current President Hon Mwai Kibaki second team ends.
Kenya have being government by three president since independence, first the founding father, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta,( 1963-1978), in came his vice resident Hon. Daniel Totoitich Moi(1978-2002).This were days when Kenya was a mono party, and KANU(Kenya African National Union),was the only party and its leader was automatically the president.
In 2002, Kenyans had decreed to have a multiparty state and for the first time in Kenya history, we had others parties. Mwai Kibaki who was heading a movement of several parties under the umbrella of NARC won in 2002.
President Mwai Kibaki has ruled Kenya since then, two teams of five years each. Now the two teams have come to an end and the president is leaving the office.
I think this will a big test for Kenyans as there is allot of things on shoulders of Kenya.Just to remind you, during the general election of 2007, Kenyans rose against each other after what is called a stolen election, on 27/12/2007, the president was sworn and immediately the country was on fire. By the time the fire was put off by the African eminent lead by former UN Secretly General, Koffi Anaan, about 1300 Kenya were dead.
Mr. Mwai Kibaki and Mr Raira Amollo Odinga formed a coalition government.
The president formed a commission lead by high court Judge Phillip Waki to look in to the cause of the fighting and who were behind it.After about three months of visiting different area within Kenya and hearing scaring information, Mr. Phillip Waki came up with ten names that his commission felt carried the heaviest burden of the killings.
In the coming election(2013), two of this person in the Wako envelop, which was handed over to Koffi Annan will be in the ballot paper wishing to be elected in the next leadership of this great nation.
Mr Uhuru Mungai Kenyatta
the factor leader of TNA(The National Party) and Mr. Samuel Samoei Ruto of URP(United Republic Party), are two of the six names that the ICC court in The Hague ruled have a case to answer.
Mr Uhuru Kenyatta, son of the founding father Mzee Jomo Kenyatta comes the Kikuyu(Gikuyu) community, the biggest tribe in Kenya and Mr William Ruto comes from Karenjin community the third biggest community.
This two leaders have teamed up and will face the current Kenya prime minister Raira Odinga who is the de-factor leader of ODM (Orange Democratic movement). Ruto agreed to be the running mate of Uhuru Kenyatta while the current vice president will be the running mate for Raila Odinga.
Its every Kenyan wish that this time around, no blood shall be shade because of politics, its not worthy at all for a single drop of blood to be shade due to electing people who in the end will benefit with their families. We, Kenyans and especially the youth should understand that when you burn, kill or steal your neighbours property, the same will happen to you in another way.
Lets have a peaceful election, i need you my sister and you need me my brother, our parents needs us and in turn we all need a peaceful Kenya.
To our politicians, preach peace during your campaign rallies, this people believe in you, so if you ask them to live in harmony with their neighbour who is from another community, i believe we shall have a better Kenya.
One day i will be gone, and same to you and all our leaders, but Kenya has a nation will be there, so my dear brothers please let us be proud of this Nation, this great Nation that am so proud of, remember those great words from that GSU officer on 1/01/2008 near mathare where asked a group of young men on a mission to destruction, he asked them "why do you want to destroy what it has taken over 30 years to build", we should be proud of peaceful leaders and lets shun leaders who will preach hate-red.
My fellow Kenya lets have a peaceful election in 2013, election will never end but we have a limited time here in Kenya, so let us enjoy this time with great proud
Long Live Kenya.
