Some forum member here repeatedly asks; 'what is the next impossible demand ODM will make?' This comment was last made on the post regarding the simple issue that President Mwai Kibaki should consult on the appointment of Leader of Government business. I guess it is not 'unreasonable' now. So next?

Come 2010 July,with the IIEC in place,and with Mutula Kilonzo promise of a new constitution,we shall demand that the non-performing PNU section of government takes the Prime Minister position and ODM take the President Position,this will mark the mid-point of the 50-50 power sharing agreement. If not,an election. The position is clear and PNU and the country should prepare.

If you are thinking this is an impossible request (largly due to tribal misgivings) consider if it was the other way round. President Daniel Moi offering Mwai Kibaki,presidency as the leader of opposition in 2000,or the Prime Minister position proposed by DP then,you would celebrate,wouldn't you?

Thanks

ODM

Raila will not accept this because then he will only have one more term remaining. Unless they change the constitution to allow for three terms.

Topics like these are what is making our country standstill.

Kenyans want solutions to their daily problems. They want roads and schools,governement institutions that work. It infuriates me when our leaders play politics.

Politics must not become what we talk about everyday,who is running what etc. We voted in 2007 and now need a clean period to graze our cows,dig our farms,give tithe in our churches,copy and apply new innovative ideas.

Each of us should focus on what we do best and do it to the best of our abilities,whatever. Lets aspire for good citizenry. I

If it is a junior civil servant aspire to have better morals and a self less spirit of public service
If it is a senior civil servant to stay longer in the office and look for innovative ideas that will take us foward
If it is a jobless youth to focus on finding something he/she can do to improve society and that of many around him/or her
If it is a gang member to leave the gang and aspire to become a better person
If we owe government money,lets pay the government happily,and let those who oversee the government funds have ethics


Kenya is not a jungle of apes,It is our home,lets care for one another,support one another
Make each other look and feel good of themselves
Lets change our attitudes at all levels of society,so we can live the difference of

How things are,How things should be

@Ceaser,

Good man,I like the way you always intervene with much needed sense.

If all kenyans had your attitude,we could be a better country.

From now onwards,I will strive to think positively in this forum,no more posturing,if I stray,please all remind me of my pledge.


I guess if you can't win with facts,you can always pen bile-laced,xenophobic rants to distract everyone.

Ceasar and Obi ..Im with you in this...Only that when a 'leader' tries to con us(taxpayers) I feel hysterical..I get a fit of anger ... I just can't keep quiet...Will try to be positive though.

I mean fundamental analysis,you get me? Fundamental analysis of a business involves analyzing its financial statements and health,its management and competitive advantages,and its competitors

@ caesar - nice one!

@Obi 1 - rest assured, I will remind you.



Motobex.

News flash. Step off the red carpet and listen to the suffering citizenry. Kenyans want a chance to vote out the principals including 'your man' the 'ineffective one'.

am sorry Prof. but i think your professor of stupidity (Kinu) for that matter,no one can reason with you,those guys wasting there time responding you should just leave you alone. People like you should just die real death.

'Ask not what your country can do for you,but what you can do for your country.'

My point was,building a nation is a matter of shared responsibility. Cant be we expect Uhuru to make a budget without cushions when out of 250 days some ODM members spend 100 days just being political.

Those are 100 days wasted on writing new bills,planning for a new bridge,or the next highway. Leadership is not just being called Commander in chief professor. It is governing people who wants to be governed. Who are working day and night to make things better.

What logic explains taking out the railway line? Some of those people can apply their energy digging sewer lines in their community. It is not that people cannot have a better life but they do not know how to. And the educated like you and the other leaders spend more time on politicized issues than is organizing these people improve their lives.

The biggest cost of development is the labor costs,Kenya has a lot of labor resources but even in a community level people wait for government to organize them.

Professor please change your approach,get 5 young people and mentor them on making their lives better,you would have done more for Kenya.

Kenya belongs to all of us. The rich and the poor alike. By this I mean,the rich and middle class pay taxes and make the working Kenya we see to day. Nobody should feel as victim,all should find some responsibility. This can only come with the change of attitude

The mothers I know wake up at 5 am in the morning to milk their cows. Their sons and daughters wake up at 11am,to bask in the shopping centers smoking gossiping,and filling crossword puzzles,manual labor is not for them,they believe.

It is a common scene to see 5 grown men herding 4 goats who are tied on a trees. They would spend all day there grazing talking politics of the new different ethnic people in their community and then go home to eat food their wives fetch for them.

Out of that idleness comes ideas of genocide and the rest. If those men give their goats to one man to herd I am sure determined they can spend more time doing something useful with their lives.

It is time for everyone to wake up. Professor I have nothing against you. It is just that personally I am applying my best effort for Kenya to be better. And I know,if every Kenyan resolved to do the same the Gap between what is,and what can be can be achieved
