Those claims about officers from disciplined forces being deployed as polling clerks...are part of grand strategy...to whip up emotions and ensure jubilee agents and some clerks are evicted from naswa strongholds on voting day...expect intensity of such wild claims to continue until it results in supporters being able to fully 'understand the gravity of the matter and act as desired on material day'

Overall, and i have stated it here before, tension before or on election day will hurt NASA bid most.

THE NEIGHBOURS' FATHER WAS BEST;

In Tanzania, the Chagga are the most populous of the 120 tribes. Tanzania has had five presidents. But NONE of them is a Chagga. Infact, only the small tribes have contributed all presidents. It is needless of course to say that in TZ, tribe is NOTHING.

There is no rule against anyone from the main tribes becoming president (God! It is strange just mentioning 'tribe' in the same sentence as TZ). When a suitable person shall present, I doubt not that we shall see a Chagga president.

They elect leaders there. They do not do an ethnic census as is our custom.

I don't think we were always stupid. I'm convinced that it all goes back to the foundation laid by the respective leaders- Kenyatta and Nyerere.

Whereas ours continued the colonial divide and rule, to enable him and a few particular friends lord it over the nation in a mere change of colour in the exploiters, Nyerere instituted true nationalism.

I lay quite a bit of blame on the drafters of the not-sooo New Constitution. They owed it to us to at least attempt to destroy the monopoly of power by the big tribes. As is evident, it is prone to installing inbred dimwits. If a dog got the sponsorship of the Kikuyu and Kalenjin for instance, it wouldn't matter that the rest of the country was appalled at having a mutt on the high seat. The tribal dictatorship would ensure Top Dog's bark would command State House (some would claim it has already happened). An invention to ensure the small tribes would be assured of giving us a president would have done us a world of good.

As it is though, it will never be about suitability. It will never be about peace. It will never be about Kenyans. It will always be a war of the tribes.

When, amongst 46 millions, we can find only the two men charged with horrendous crimes against humanity to be our top leaders, know that we are in the grips of long incubated idiocy.

When two or three families provide the pool to which, alone, we turn every few years for leadership prospects, know that we are steeped in stagnation.

Tanzania is a worthy object of envy for us. Well then, let's get started on the job of aping it. There is no shame in that.

It must begin with doing away with the son of the architect of our folly."
