Kenyan Kop wrote:One person here has dissected Central Kenya politics. That person is Lolest. Like him or hate him, Uhuru runs central Kenya politics. Go to the grassroots and ask about PK and come back and tell us. Few questions.
1. Maragua MP Elias Mbau was in PK's stable. Why did he have to shift camp?
2. Over 50MPs from Central and Eastern have endorsed him, why would these MPs go against the grain if the son of Jomo is a hard sell?
3. Has the new constitution solidified tribal politics or not?
4. Finally for those saying Hague may shift the political landscape what does article 99(2.) g say. Once you have read that go forward and read 99(3.) That will settle debate on the Hague debate. Fafanua...but i'll try and read after lunch

You must have been sentenced not merely charged.

Article 99 (3) clearly seals the debate...one hopes the media can communicate that effectively, because unfortunately or fortunately depending on where you stand this guys will be on the ballot. Ocampo himself said at Laico Regency that the earliest Trial can begin is end of 2012 or early 2013, so definitely thats after elections and this guys will be on the ballot

NSIS is monitoring busy websites , ALL radio stations , the 4 Mobile networks for hate speech ,Wazuans beware. They can come for you even under your bed, hata kama huko juu ya airport. If you own a phone ,their work is easier. KenSaf wrote:Racism, Tribalism and now clans. All the above is not necessarily bad, but what we are discussing here is negative. Reminds me of a time the Kiambu mafias swore that presidency will never cross river Chania. 2012 is here.Kenya is Ours.Be Part of The Peace Keeping Mission To Protect Our Motherland.Say No To Violence and Tribal Hatred .If you can read this,wewe ni mtu amesoma, usifikirie kama mtu hajaenda shule .Ni Hayo Tu
