PK's mistake was to overestimate the mental state of the Kenyan voter including the most educated. He believed the Kenyan voter is aware of the mess his country is in and would like to resolve the mess as a priority and would intelligently review his/her options picking a pragmatic realistic and credible choicse. He tried to be the vessel to those choices but he came a cropper, worse off and poorer in the pocket but rich in views, soul, conscience and understanding of the Kenyan voter!

For the likes PK & others attempting to offer pragmatic and credible leadership, please leave the Kenyan Voter alone, he/she is a self conceited mentally lazy being more interested in tribal bigotry than anything else and just like a pig feels more relish in wallowing, and feeding on their waste things are not about to change and therefore PK and the likes shouldn't attempt to change the Kenyan voter!

As Retired President DTAM said, Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly succeed, and are right. Elections are won by men and women chiefly because most people vote against somebody rather than for somebody.
So for all you all who voted for PK, consider yourselves the small but proud number who voted for somebody. Maybe next time.
Then agina as @kausha said, we sill still be mentally lazy and tribal. tsk tsk.

Sad but so true...

PK made a mistake of overestimating the mental faculties of Kenyan voters! He thought too highly of them and assumed they were yearning for a revolution and a quantum leap in governance yet all the wanted was to reach the 'tribal supremacy' pinnacle point! As campaigns progressed and the election date drew near he sounded more utopia than revolutionary. It was not difficult to see him getting a snake's beating at the ballot thus!

However the big lesson and biggest problem in Kenya is the people. It's self delusional to make most noise and sound wise in between election calendar years and come the election dates each of us invoke personal brain explosions and vote for nothing else but tribe! I posit that even God will not help us nore hear our prayers up until we pick the lesson that is obvious before in between the election dates and do the right and Godly thing to do on the election date!!!! Right now the simmering HATRED between Luos and Kikuyus is outrageous! yet in 12 months both sets of people will be feeling the same pain of poor leadership from either RAO or UMK!

who was bankrolling his campaigns, Makueni senatorship candidate ama?
