yes. everyone stand down as raila hurtles towards state house.

We were going to have a Govt in place either way.

When things are looking rather unstable, the one who chooses to vote to stabilise things as opposed to showing indifference to Kenya going the Siera Leone or Rwanda way does so vote for Kenya.

There was an umpire for the process in the election. His verdict remains valid unless and untill it is challenged in a manner that is consistent with the law.
All players are expected to go with his verdict or challenge it via the formal channels.
Kalonzo went with the rulling, aware that there were certain irregularities as you put it.

But heck which election doesnt have irregularities and claims of irregulaties.
1992 had irregularities, so was 1997, 2002, 2005 referundum as had 2007.
US in 2008 had irregularities too.
So that can never be basis to ask people not to take offices, pending any legal challenges if so.

@famooz, hehehehehehe

@Rahatupu

Show a little more honesty,- who muddied the waters upon the effort on consensus?
Mps were to go to Naivasha, but while some were already there, the spoilers were in Nairobi busy peeing on the effort.

That way Naivasha aborted, you know the culprits.
Infact at this stage they were bold enough to say NO to consensus apparently because they were happy with the draft as it were.

Then more pressure was brought to bear for consensus. We all heard Henry Kosgey say that in order for his party not to “appear” as the one standing in the way of consensus, they were now ready for such a retreat, but not before giving their own irreducible minimum demands!
Of course political will on consensus was wanting, and they embraced the effort late in the day only for appearances and posturing.

Subsequently KIA was a sham.

Without prior consensus outside the house, Parliament was never going to come up with anything - that should be clear to all.

I repeat, Kibaki would have granted the church some of their wishes, but shenanigans…
He had to move on anyway, just as he has had to do on many other occasions.


And by the way you characterized the VP as a fence sitter just as you view Kibaki.
Kibaki played that way and became president…
Where do the similarities in their trajectory end.
Or are you telling us something about Kalonzo and 2012.
