@ Simonkabz......You do realise that the elections will not just be about PK Vs Uhuruto. What are his chances against OAR?

I think they would be higher, going by the fact that dude is generally accepted accross the nation, unlike UK who easily compares with RAO in devided opinion, my thoughts. . Your opinion bw Taz?

Who is PK? What has he done for this country? Will I vote for someone based on his lofty ideas of what he can do for us that others have not done before? Will I vote for him because he is young? Or is it because he happens to be the new kid on the block? I ask again, what has he done for this country? Forget Gatanga. Gatanga constituency is not Kenya. For the time he has been in parliament, what has been his track record in speaking up against impunity and corruption. How much has he spoken up for the rule of law to be upheld. I have not heard him... at least not as clearly as I have heard some of the other presidential aspirants. In my opinion, the crime of omission is as bad as that of commission. Just lying low as bad things happen around you and not coming out strongly against them is as bad as joining the criminals. That for me is a strong indication of a spineless leader who will wax this and that way bouyed on the sands of time!

"Kenneth must know that running Kenya cannot be equated to managing the CDF for Gatanga"

"The pair thinks it can frighten any of the old hands at this game with Facebook numbers, Twitter .....

This is satire at its best!!! You seem not to get it.
Satire is a genre of literature, and sometimes graphic and performing arts, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, and society itself, into improvement.[1] Although satire is usually meant to be funny, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit as a weapon.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satire

"The shared shortcomings of Peter Kenneth and his running mate stem from their similar background of deprivation and being raised on the false ethos of hard work, honesty, integrity and claptrap like that. It has never won elections — or Tuju would be the MP for Rarieda"

Our society is being held up to ridicule in that we reject such people and elect the opposite.

Standing up and demanding Mpigs pay taxes doesn't count as a national issue? why trust some one who cannot manage a CDF for heavens sake this is our tax money. We are setting a very low bar to our leaders.

@kamundu, I don't know about Obama politics and I frankly don't care.

@wazuaguest, It is good you have mentioned one issue that PK was vocal in. Please mention the others. What was his stand on the recent and past salary increases for MP's? Was he a hague proponent or a local tribunal guy? What has been his public stand on the judiciary and implementation of the new constitution? What is his stand on the ICC suspects? Mau forest? IDP's and their resettlement? Has he suggested publicly how IDP's should be resettled? I cannot vote for a leader who stands at a distance and only wades into controversy when it is safe to do so and public opinion is highly in his favour (read MPs paying taxes issue). I need a leader who is giving the right direction to the controversy right from the begining before most Kenyans even catch on to what the controversy is all about.
I would also be interested in knowing what is his rags to riches story.

This is adding insult to injury. And also, it is under estimating the power of tribalism.

And why are you denigrating feelings?

It seems this PK club has nothing to do with humanity after all!

Watch out! The suspects and pseudo reformers have more appeal to Wanjiku's feelings and they may triumph on that account.

Or you don't care?

Actually personally, I'm sad that such people IN FACT APPEAL to wanjiku. You still don't seem to understand that those characters don't appeal, but it's the game of tribal politics at play. I talk to many pple in shags, a vast majority like PK, but they believe UK will beat raira at the polls oh our interests etc. Nothing like ati they APPEAL TO WANJIKU. Actually, most of such kind of talk I hear it among the middo class. Wanjiku appears to know she is headed to a wilderness, but has no other choice apparently. Many will tell you, UK will/may not build this n that road, but will protect them from raira. What kind of a f***ed up society is this? And tycho is all over praising it?
