2. What is the intention of OAR in repeatedly bringing up the land issue telling Mr Kenyatta to return 'stolen' land, the 'size of Nyanza' - other than maybe stock tensions between two communities perceived to be supporting the Jubilee candidate? (communities that have always had a history of pre/post election violence ever since the advent of muliti-partyism)
@ecstacy, I respect some of your sentiments, though
partisan; partisan because:
1. Kalonzo, Ruto, Social media, Wazuans questioned the motive of the CCK move, with the Courts eventually barring further switch offs. Your post only mentions Raila.
I personally support the CCK move; though the timing is as unfortunate as the use of the word "rigging".
2. Elections are run on issues. It is thus fair ground to question:
- Raila's leadership based on role in attempted coup, merger with KANU, disputed elections, Kibera slum, Miguna Miguna book
- Uhuru's bequeathed wealth (including land) from first president's acquisitiveness, Hague proceedings
- Peter Kenneth's reform credentials or chosen running mate
- Martha Karua's stubborness and individuality
Finally, apart from good natured rivalry and exchange of ideas, I'd be very surprised if an average (let alone a vehement) supporter of either Uhuru or Raila is swayed by points put across on a discussion forum - my thoughts.
