Option 3: Not voting

In all democracies where elections are freely conducted people always make "wise" decisions and the situation we have will be with us for very long...Even violent revolutions rarely bring better changes. Imagine war na hii ukame!!!
Look....its barely 5 yrs since we passed supposedly the best constitution anywhere. But are we better off really?? with devolved corruption??
Methinks the single biggest obstacle to our socio-economic progress is the "eating" mentality. ....mali ya serikali. Everyone, across all ages wants a piece of that pie you toil so hard to bake..there's no manners at all!

This could present a perfect opportunity for the overhaul we so desperately need. The Think about it, this coming elections, our choice is to vote for one devil in order to block the other. How sad is that? Drain the swamp? Come down to reality boss......this is Kenya. Only a violent revolution may change things. Democracy in our context is a facade. A mirage @Rahatupu think of middle east is that what you want.Seriously! Give me Nasa or Jp any time than violence Rwanda would still be failed state without the pogrom. Kenya would be stuck with the old Katiba without PEV. The only thing that would shock us to reality is a violent revolution. Iraq, Libya and even Yemen are in the incubation phase and will come good. @Kaka so It would be better to tear down Kenya so that we can start rebuilding it. I thought the new constitution would solve all our problems. I forgive your ignorance but the bravado you are showing will not last for long if Kenya were to go to war. War know no class or race. Let stop this foolishness for the sake of our children and the next generation. Citizens of the countries you are mentioning here have different opinion on violence. Anyway maybe you have never ventured beyond your village.

How sad is that? I do not understand this logic but forgive my age  .Now, if i may just ask, if you are overwhelmed by cockroaches in your house, isn't burning down your house the quickest solution?.... C'mon.Uncast votes do not count and hence George Jean Nathan's comment and i quote, "bad officials are the ones elected by good citizens who DO NOT VOTE". Capital letters at the end of the quote is my own emphasis. True that, but are you also suggesting that you'd rather cast your vote and elect the bad officials? I think very many patriotic citizens will want to find a good reason to get up early on 8th August.
BBI will solve it :)

Kenya is split between haves and have nots and the gap is ever increasing. I believe only a Mengistu type 'red terror ' can redeem our country. Mengistu failed in other aspects but he addressed historic injustices which made Ethiopia what it is today Justice over peace any time! Truth forever on the scaffold
Wrong forever on the throne

Anyway maybe you have never ventured beyond your village. @Sheri,that has been the thinking and narrative being spread around by some people.And it did not start now. In 2007 post election at the height of Otieno Kajwang's (RIP) arrogance he would proudly say lets burn Kenya and build it afresh. When you hear words like Kenyans are not ready for another stolen election and 2M dead voters voted for President only....hapo ndio tunaelekea. Love is beautiful and so are those who share it.With Love, Marriage is an amazing event in ones life time, the foundation of joy, happiness and success.

University Students from all over Africa did meta analysis declared Uhuru Kenyatta the best President in Africa, he really is offering great leadership, revolutions are "Zinjathropic" ideas, to quote Michael Joseph, "Kenya is headed for Greatness". Go and vote! As for the very bitter peope, wameze wembe! what other advice can you offer, except meza wembe, voters will turn out in large numbers, larger than 2013! Ras Kienyeji Man

Actually not voting is voting. Its hard to differentiate this Hyenas,so whichever Hyena takes we are ok. Against Violence at all cost. So if you dont want to vote,its OK. Also people who wake up at 4 am to vote,what is wrong with their heads? Africa belongs to Africans.
