I wish you knew how much I contributed in terms of strategy and tactics to the one of the 2013 camps. Thank heavens for wazua anonymity. If you stay close to power you will see how it operates. That feeling that elite feel that they control your destiny and you follow them, that matters more to them than your vote. Power is power the fact the politician feels he controls you as his social media warrior means you are participating in the games.

@hindsight you keep voting thinking the current elite cares for your interests. Same monkeys on both sides of the forest. Give them your vote and they will use it to bargain for their place at the dinner table.

@wukan, Voting in my opinion and actually is politically factual is the ideal and best way to participate in democracy/ making or ensuring a new guard of government is installed without much hullabaloo while the alternative leaves ...a trail of bloodshed,incumbency,dictatorship and most of all elite dominance...which if history is to be looked at ..doesn't last for long...as the subjects will reach a point of no return and when that happens ,you with your no vote/sitting out you will perish/suffer the consequences as well as the rest.

So if given two choices,sitting out and participating ,the latter always works out best no matter how you spin it. In other words its the better option-not the only option.

@Vallerrie,if you at my earlier posts ,am not advocating for any candidature,am merely looking at the current government validation for re-election.

Having said that,i want to make this point; That regardless that Kenya hasn't in the past (though 2007/8 is debatable) dislodged an incumbent government after first term, it's very doable.

Reasons;

1) Kenyans have the votes not the elite/leaders/government

2) There is always a first time for everything,why not?

3) Conformity bleeds certainty eventually to the norm. But when people power is harnessed and a few individuals inspire the rest,history is made.New norm is achieved,this has been demonstrated elsewhere.

So,when after august elections ,there is a new normal,don't be surprised. Its the evolution of the new order as the old becomes new...alta continua.

The big question in my mind is, is corruption really a voter issue in Kenya? My heart says maybe it is, my head says this election will be just another tribal census.

A drop in the ocean doesn't alter it's tide.

Who will win, depends on against whom majority will vote - clearly people will not be voting for anyone, but against someone.

Opposition-leaning protest vote against current leaders; there is no candidate (from possible lineup) worthy of their votes.

pro government votes will mainly be against rao and to some extent against macharia, salome or who is the other principle.

If NASA can think out of box - put country before self - draft a good skills matrix of suitable next leaders (not that tired crass 'principles'); someone who can spell out a formula of getting Kenya out of abyss....

oh, someone just woke me up from a dream.

That's the problem with being brought up and bred by the 8-4-4 multiple choice system. It's always method of elimination

Will it, really?
So many Kenyans (pia mimi) believe its just a cliche - that is why voter apathy is being described as 'very embarassing.'

Personally, am really not finding any compelling reason to vote this time round, who do I vote for?
JP - corruption mingi already - imagining pple like arap mashamba for another 5 years gives me a pounding headache; NASA - a bunch of self-seekers,that is why their main agenda is how to gawana power, NOT our welfare, and all of them are tainted in one way or the other. Arghh.

Wow, another kindred spirit.

Looks like I can now start talking comfortably about "We"

Now that you have joined this conversation, I have been forced to start thinking with my big head instead of the smaller one.

"The Current Government," as I understand it, can either infer the National Government or the County Government.

"Should we re-elect the Current (National) Government"?

Hell NO.

I base my sentiments on at least five of the top threads currently active here at the Virtual Republic of Wazua.

Unfortunately, CORD is the only alternative, until NASA put their act together.

Unless NASA gives me a profound reason to register and vote for them by tomorrow, 1600 hours EAST, I will not register.

"Should we re-elect the Current (Kirinyaga County) Government"?

Hell NO.

"There is a highly damaging altercation that has been simmering, right from the word go, between The Governor and the Deputy Governor.

The result is that my home area, Mwea, is experiencing a painful County Government fronted development drought.

Hon Martha Karua, Ms Anne Waiguru, and the coterie of other prospective County Governors are not worth the time or effort to walk 300 metres to the nearest registration point.

So, @Intel, what is your story?

Pray do share.
