@Kratos, it is your democratic right,no doubt about that.
However, if you think UK is the man and you really want to see him in that house on the hill, then it would help your endeavor in getting numbers to his side.
You can start by letting me know the remedy to the following;
Whenever i go around Kenya, i see boards with project funding details. Those boards read and not limited to Afd, IMF, World Bank, Danida, Jica, ADB, Usaid,Ukaid,IFC etc.
We have Agoa to export textiles to the US duty-free.
We export our flowers to Europe.
We buy oil using dollars,in fact virtually all our imports are in USD.
We get tourists, the bulk not from Asia but from Western world.
We have vision 2030,which calls for massive spending from both gov't and investors[a chunk being foreigners.

@Kratos,tell me and don't talk of sovereignty here. Sovereignty is not seclusion.

Even the world super power needs the world,they are always seeking alliances,no state can survive alone. Its a global village, that's the reality.Kenya doesn't manufacture even tooth picks. Just before you talk of sovereignty.

Each and every country needs development partners.
With a Uhuru/ruto presidency,the above in blue will NOT remain the same. Don't fool yourself,it's the reality, the world we live in,our nature. You can't change nature, you conform to it. That's the world order.
With that change,we will have huge budget deficits,dwindling foreign. [read USD,Euro & BP] thanx to less tourists[weird travel advisories],less from exports to Europe and US Agoa will be suspended.

With dwindling hard currencies,the shilling will depreciate creating imported inflation,less machinery imports, less employment opportunities.
With some NGO's closing [the ones funded by gov't like Usaid,Danida, Jica,the German one etc] loss of employment.
With high inflation,economic hardship will bite and bite hard by end of year two.Most businesses will collapse.
It will be Zimbabwe in the making.

Without talking of sovereignty, why would you want that for your country as much as it is your right?
Win people over to UK by giving the remedies to the above coz that's the reality.
Reason,don't feel.

Mkeiyd, am with you on this one; if the average schooled Kenyans with access to developments on the world stage (read Wazua) cannot understand the repercussions of voting for Uhuruto, how do we expect the rural folks to behave differently. It's a pity and we have a long way before we realize what it takes to develop a nation. Forget about sovereignty.

On the hand, PK, invested wisely after he made his initial millions by having the right network of friends at the right time.

That's called conjecture right there!

REALLY?

March 4 2013 will come we will vote whoever we want to. The sun will set the same way it has always done the bottom line middle krass na pang'ang'a mingi will still be middle krass na shida zetu mingi and the so called leaders will screw us some more and we will struggle some more... so lets think hard before turning this thread into some spin zone for some people who careless about you but just that we can vote!.

I have never voted in my life.
Never held a voters card.
But I will for PK,don't care if he wins or not cz I don't see anybody else worth my vote.

Actually, PK is very well funded...the guy has raised over 6 billion just for his Presidential bid..don't write him off yet...he has a network of wealthy supporters...

Folks talking about
international relations lost
the plot last year - even with
so called international
relations we still have
massive youth
unemployment, mashinda
shinda...

wa p, ua post was intelligent till u came to this utter ignorance. ever heard of pariah states of iran, zimbabwe, syria, this hopeless defiance to the evil n manipulative west will cost us much. we can elect a guy who they don't hate n enjoy our hustles in peace. we r still too dependent on the west in case u didn't know. too dependent even with our perceived economic independence.

very well said @thimioni!!!!

And on top of that, UK trashes the west to his supporters in public but in his personal matters, he shuns to hire local people and goes on to hire services of those same people whom "he has no need to work with"....and to his supporters this makes perfect sense.

If UK is not "mentally liberated" how can he lead a country with no ties with the west?

I guess that Kenyans do not understand how much they are risking to save 4 people.

If UK and WSR get elected;

The west will impose sanctions on Kenya.

The flower, tea and coffee industries will collapse (especially flowers).

All the oil exploration work will be left to Chinese companies (who will dictate terms since there is no competition). Road construction will stop because the Chinese no longer have competition on foreign relations.

In short the economy will go belly up.

Forget arguments about neo colonization. Our economy is firmly based on the purchasing power of foreigners. And before you shout that Uganda is our biggest trading partner, remember that Uganda too will be threatened with sanctions.
