Fellow Kenyan, you need to register as a voter and cast your ballot on voting day.
That way, you will have the moral authority to praise or jeer any elected leader, as you will have participated in the process involved in anointing them.
Making A Choice Between Uhuru Kenyatta And Raila Odinga
Registering as a voter and casting your ballot on 08 August 2017 shall determine who will lead this nation.
This leadership shall mold our Social, Political and Economic destiny for the next five-year period.
Factors In Favour Of Uhuru Kenyatta
Every right thinking Kenyan is implored to vote Uhuru Kenyatta back in for a second term.
Mr. Kenyatta does not have any baggage. As such, he will continue to steer this great nation brilliantly forward.
In addition, Mr. Kenyatta has shown he runs his campaigns like a gentleman. In that regard, he remains a revered statesman worldwide.
He has restored Kenya’s image worldwide while he continues from where Mwai Kibaki left off. This is in steering our nation’s economy to greater heights.
Mr. Kenyatta is young, compared to his opponent, and has a likable mien. He is well liked by every age group in Kenya.
This likability is particularly prominent among women. Remember that women run most of our homes and are, therefore, an important asset for any leader to succeed.
As Kenyans however, it is our collective duty to demand of him that he tackles corruption, land grabbing and every other vice that bedevil this Nation.
Strategies Adopted By Raila Odinga To Win The Presidency
Raila Oding’s quest to dislodge Uhuru Kenyatta does not rule out any strategy, good or bad.
He has taken to visiting democracies, where the opposition has lodged out the incumbent, to study how this has been achieved.
A case in point is his recent visit to Ghana after which he designed a Memorandum of Understanding for the creation of a joint opposition here in Kenya similar to the one in Ghana.
He went on to present this Memorandum at the recent opposition meeting at the Bomas of Kenya.
With gusto, he has embarked on a campaign to impel citizens in his perceived strongholds to register as voters.
He envisions marshalling more than eleven million voters within such strongholds, an adorable feat, should he succeed.
Factors Handicapping Raila Odinga’s Quest in Winning the Presidency
Raila Odinga infamy among Kenyans holds no bounds.
His economic development record is scant, only apparent in his private holdings.
Neither has he much to show in empowering women except encouraging firebrand woman such as Ms Millie Odhiambo, Ms. Angoro, Ms. Wanga, and Ms. Mboko, among others.
Such women are, unfortunately, a handicap rather than an advantage in uplifting his statesmanship stature. These firebrands are merely working for their personal gain rather than oiling Mr. Odinga’s quest for the Presidency.
The result of this association with firebrand women is a strong voting apathy among women in Mr. Odinga’s strongholds.
Again, he has so little to show in economically empowering citizens in his own backyard.
The hyacinth menace has ravaged Lake Victoria yet he, a scientist, has done nothing discernable to fight off this menace.
As a result, his own people are suffering reduced incomes and high expenses in exploiting commercial opportunities afforded by the lake, creating further voter apathy.
Opposition leaders in developed democracies appoint shadow cabinets. Raila Odinga however runs the opposition single handedly.
This shows that if he becomes President, he will run the government alone or through micro management, leading to poor management of the economy.
Kenyans hold Mr. Odinga in high esteem but only as an exceptional opposition leader.
They love him only because he is adept at keeping any government on its toes.
In this regard, many Kenyans will deny him votes so that he remains in the opposition long into the future.
Weaknesses In Strategy Against Uhuru Kenyatta
Raila Odinga had hoped to use the tribal card against the Uhuru-Ruto combination. However, this has backfired.
In fact, he is unable to link the Jubilee Party to tribalism since it is an amalgamation of many tribal parties under one umbrella.
In addition, Jubilee has coalesced around Uhuru Kenyatta as the Presidential candidate yet the opposition has not yet identified who is the flag bearer is, seven months to the elections.
This is creating seeds of mistrust among the opposition strongholds.
Conclusion
Uhuru Kenyatta is the best candidate Kenyans can elect on 08 August 2017.
Every Kenyan should therefore make this wise choice through using their vote for a better life.
 A good education does make a big difference, the puke that had been scribbled by @realtreaty is suddenly worth looking at twice. thanks @aemathenge "The purpose of bureaucracy is to compensate for incompetence and lack of discipline." James Collins
