I continue to say
As long as Karua continues to operate outside the MAINSTREAM she has a snowball chance in hell.

She will only make an insignificant statistic, - an 'also run'

The launch was a big yawn.

@Kerich
...Please let us not kill a dream...I was there and I did not yawn!!!

haiya, being a woman is still a shortcoming? Being kyuk was a crime in 2007 too

@Lolest, unfortunately that is the reality mashinani.

She has my vote any day all day - even if Kenya has not reached that level of democracy,I will still vote for her because she has principles

Instead of blanket condemnation just list a few of his 'pretentious' and 'hypocrisy' incidences that you have and save us from being swept away by her charms.

Martha Karua is a role model to many and does not play to partisan politics that characterizes most politicians.She is also a respecter of the law.

The media blackout of her activities shows she is a force to reckon with especially among the youth.

There is a poll going around on Facebook she is actually second to Raila.But as yo know most young people dont vote and its a challenge to her To do what Obama did and mobilize this force to the ballot,Then Kenya will surely have a great Leader.

All in all God know who is a good leader just listen to your spirit not your head.

The same sentiment Nigerias muslim North was using against GOODLUCK.

Are we now going to vote people in office based on their ethnicity or on Merits.

yesterdays police recruitment highlighted a very crucial point about ethnicity.In Mombasa very few pple turned up for the recruitment while in Nyeri the number was too huge the vetting was made more vigorous to cut the number.Now how do you maintain a balance in such case.

Raila would have been my choice but his performance in the coalition govt has made me wonder if he has anything to offer to kenyans...kazi kwa vijana is a sham and lacks clear thought strategy to sustain itself...its even laughable that IMF is giving the Govt loans to sustain the program.

Listening to what Karua is offering I think his ideas in jump starting the economy resonate well with mine,and thats enough for me.Ethnicity or regional politics has got no bearing in what i believe in.

So will you be voting for a community and not an individual for president??? Toka ngizani rafiki.

Now on Karua... when obama started for senatorial he was written off. When he tried the DP nominations he was not even considered a spoiler. but we all know what happened and now is history. And before you bay for my blood, i am not equaling karua to obama, or even comparing the two, just the way the scenario might play itself.

point is, don't write off nobody, not yet.

@King, much as we hate to admit it, our politics is tribal, and even if me and you vote for candidates outside our tribes, majority will vote in line with tribe...kweli rongo? Central Kenya is yet to go into the polls without a presidential candidate and fact is that once decided, that candidate is voted for overwhelmingly for president...I strongly believe that Baks had the opportunity to kill tribalism back in 2002, well that ship sailed....

...I will keep agreeing with this!!!!

gathinga, mla mamba attended!!!

Finally something we can agree on!!
