Why can't we vote for Marende, Kadir and Kiyiapis of this world.

Personally, I think that this democracy stuff that leaders all over the world talk about is non-sense because it does not involve the general mwananchi on the ground, only involves those people who are crafted for that particular trade ( if you know what i mean)

Am of the opinion that the government is us, not the people who we are electing to "represent us" wherever they are respresenting us at.

Democracy is when the government that I or we have elected comes to ask me or us for our opinion just about everything, not passing laws that either dehumanize us or work against the mwanainchi.

When the people who I elected to act as "the government" come to me and ask me what are my opinions about stuff that directly affects me or in other words, collects views from each and everyone before enacting a nefarious legistlation, thats when am gonna say that there is democracy.

Otherwise, the democracy that we are talking about is sheer non-sence. One has to realize that all this democracy talk has been taught to us by the westerners not knowing that whether we take part in it by lets say voting for Kibaki, Raila or Uhuru when they vie using different political machines, the results after the elections will always be the same. In other words, whatever they are doing after they are elected is the will of their controllers, not them and not certainly the people.

In the case of Ocampo, dont you guys think that we Kenyan's are better placed to handle it than the foreigners?? Am pretty sure we've got the brains to do all that. If those foreigners had completely wiped out all the vices in their countries, then things would be different but hmmmmmm, thats not the case and what do Kenyan's say?? You just lost your soverignity, again.

I've seen so many people talking about the polls on this post and it just makes me wonder out aloud whether people dont know that polls can be manipulated to give one an edge over the other. Am pretty sure that people know which media houses in Kenya are affiliated to who but do they use brains when coming to a conclusion. Dont let the media make conclusions for you at the end of each and every newscast.

Just the other day, Kenyan's were bamboozled into registring their cell phones with I dont know who because of "criminals" conning threating them while is South Africa, they are trying to implement the same stuff by rewarding those who register their phones.

Now, its Harun Mwau being targeted by the Americans (you know who) but people dont realize that its because of his stake in Nakumatt and also the fact that America wants to put in place Walmart in Kenya. But instead of defending him, people are like "Oh, how come he made billions and I didn't." The day that Walmart comes to Kenya, that will be the day when employers become employees and GMO's circulate everywhere giving people diseases that they've never heard of.

Some time back, Proff Anyang Nyong came to New York and was telling Kenyans not to return home, that its better to just stay in America and my conclusion was that these "political figures" probably feel threatened or are afraid of losing something. You ask yourself what it is they are afraid of losing.

i dream only women should be allowed to vie for political offices in 2012...
..that way, we will avoid ethnic violence..and all we'll have is a bunch of tribes jealous and not talking to each other.
Economy will boom thanx to all shopping we get.. and parliament will meet over tea and bites dicussing what madam president cooked for dinner and who should be minister for drama and telenovelas..whose sit will be a rotating one.
..and men will get to work and quit all this bickering and greed..
..#dream StuFf.
