You can always win when you blindfold and tie the legs of your competitors.A true African leader who ca not let the fairness prevail.

@poundfoolish well said. In fact, the Americans learnt the very same lesson on removing Sadaam and his army from Iraq.

But quick scan of history of Burundi and Rwanda, shows even after all Kagame has achieved, and the outrage of the genocide, dangerous chess pieces begin to align again...

In Africa, a sitting president rarely loses am election, infact I remember one time when Mobutu loudly wondered how on earth somebody could lose an election which he has planned himself!!!!

@non, they may be if only u watch kenyan news alone.

I admire Kagame. He has done a lot for his country. Some of us seem to be fixated on change. And in most cases the change is just for the sake of change.

I wouldn't mind a president who rules Kenya for 20+ years if he is a progressive leader who improves the economy, health care, security, education etc. etc. At times such a leader might have to 'deal' with a few 'vinyangarika' here and there. I would also understand if he gives a few jobs [out of the millions he has helped create] to his kids, wife, cousins etc. provided they are qualified or the job has no great implications to any section of the economy.

Let give it to the guy. He has done well for his country.In any leadership though, there are always people who are problematic. Any leader has to deal with such characters decisively. I however think that this should be hos last term. He should now groom someone else in the next 7 years. I think Rwanda is where Kenya was in 1992. They need one more term of Kagame and they should be ready for a change of guard.
