Much respect to the heroes who led the fight for independence. In the Mau Mau war, fighters took an oath to 'protect the house of Mumbi'.

Over 40yrs later, the vision of the state of Kenya grows. But it in this new age, GEMAT leaders seem never to have thrown their weight behind a candidate who is not from their community.

In 2012/3, is it possible GEMAT leaders could put the country first?

Hope not. GEMAT is a pun on Gikuyu Embu Meru Akamba (Turkana) association which, in my mind, was at the forefront of Kenya's independence struggle and bore the brunt of the British Goulag.

@Muganda, this is in most Kenyans minds...but what I would like to see first is if the "G" in "GEMA" can vote for either the "E" or the "M".....

Why should it be suspended? There is nothing negative about RAILA in this thread!

as I have asked you before, why do you think they would not? The only non-Gikuyu candidate from GEMA to vie for presidency was Geoffrey Kaibiria MMwireria in 1997(i would be surprised if u remember him). In the same election, there were 5 Gikuyu candidates! 3 of these were well known. Currently the Agikuyu have 4 well known candidates.(uhuru, martha, muite and Pk).
