Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Source: There is a man in the Oval Office who should be in a sanatorium or asylum. He is there because the ignorant and the dull have been ignored for so long that when a person as ignorant and dull as they are asked for it, they voted for him. And because the bright and the enlightened declined to vote on Election Day. Let us listen to everyone, even the dull and the ignorant. They too have their votes. Give them an opportunity, a platform and a voice to air their frustrations and the enlightened and the bright will convince them otherwise. Otherwise, of what use is their enlightenment and brightness? Only then, shall we keep, or put, the right man at State House. Post Script: @Obi 1 Kanobi, the pleasure is all mine.

c&p The writing is on the wall. All is not well in GEMA land. There is no ICC, it will be purely issue based elections. We have chaps who promised everything and delivered nothing and they have less than 195 days to fight corruption, build 6 stadiums, deliver SGR upto Malaba, connect every home with electricity, piped water to every home, crush insecurity with modern technologies and above all deliver a world class health care ecosystem. Honestly right now, let us pray for Hon. UMK. I rem in 2007 seeing former president Kibaki campaigning using torches in Kikima, Mbooni.

If it was baba, Kenya could have stalled for now similar to the Moi error. Raila is so occupied in arguments people end up doing nothing. Did you know that is reason those who keep arguing never stay in employment? Choose Raila at your Own Risk, Kenya will stall for 5 Years!!!! Raila made SGR start late, others were the Laptops, which is being implement in phases. Uhuru brought in world leaders who brought businesses to Kenyan mwananchi. The road network by National govt have profoundly improved. Obama was categorical that Uhuru was a perfect African Leader. Obama posed a question to Raila "What did you do while in govt other than telling us you are sovereign?"

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 Only swines go back to eat what they puke!!! Are you one of them?

The beauty of Democracy is that after a period of time (mostly 5 years or less), the people undertake an election for the purpose of choosing their next leaders or opt to retain some of them.
To the elected leaders, elections are akin to Armageddon.
Judgment day. The day when egos get a thrash.
When Uhuruto found themselves at the throne in 2013, they were full of themselves. UK shuttled the World like no other President before him. He flew to all corners enjoying himself and making merry.
Formula Ones in Dubai and partaking expensive wines in Europe. He spent more time abroad than he spent here in Kenya. The short time he was here, he donned military regalia and strutted the country like he owned it.
He was everywhere issuing title deeds and dismissing out of hand the opposition headed by Raila and Kalonzo. He even offered them jobs and brought a motion to Parliament to deny them their pension.
His people crafted draconian laws and media bills which were quickly passed by Parliament and ratified by him. Only the Courts’ came to our rescue.
Unlike Kibaki, he controlled both Parliament and Senate. What else would a President ask for?
Ruto on the other hand, was amassing wealth and trying to build his own dynasty. Drunk with power, he went round the country talking ill of opposition leaders and making fun of their political moves.
He had suddenly become a stand-up comedian. He made the poor congregants laugh with his funny anecdotes.
He became the new Robin Hood.
He gave Churches large amounts of money every week in Harambees. He invited leaders from all political divides to dinners and rewarded them heavily with money looted from the Coffers. Jubilee bought loyalty. And leaders were auctioned to the highest bidder.
Soon complacency set in.
They took everything for granted. PR became their sole agenda. Propaganda got airtime on our mainstream media. Online mandarins were all over with fictitious “FactsKe” crap. Uhuruto rubbished off the VISION 2030 blue-print, LAPPSET died a slow but sure death, KOMAZA became a cropper, Greenfields Project contracts were literally cancelled, the Kenya Nuclear Electricity Board lost its vigor after funding was slashed.
The Government of “Kusema na Kutenda” immersed itself in projects which were not predicated on any policies. Foreign debt increased exponentially. Looting became the order of the day. The economic environment became murky. Lay-offs and downsizing became the norm. Credit to the private sector reduced.
The economy was on a spiral.
When the Government was being criticized for looting and messing up the economy, UK and his side-kick came out guns blazing.
Everything was blamed on one man: RAILA.
Everything. Including the grand theft of public funds.
Now the chicken are coming home to roost and JP has realized that PR and propaganda are not giving the desired effect. That you cannot feed the people on rhetoric and electricity alone. The populace has become restless and unruly. Some even in front of their eyes, on the podium.
Meanwhile, the loud mouths of JP, Kindiki, Duale and Murkomen have gone on silence mode. Things are not the same again. After all, they will also be facing the same angry and frustrated electorate.
The President can now spare the time, go to Kameme and belt out mugithi lyrics, complete with a one man guitar.
Things are thick, my friend.
When you hear the President of a Republic on radio singing mugithi to appease the populace, know that shit has hit the fan.
And that, my friend, is the beauty of Democracy…  @Maka In your issue Raila does not exist, so do you have another candidate to compare or contrast with Uhuru...may be Wetabix or Nasa or Wiper cowards who need to be led than Lead? You have written too much on what Uhuru has done not what he has not done. Anyway you have the final say on voting day with your VOTE!!!

Orengo has already given up on Kidero, in his speech at Bomas Kidero was only given few secs to greet people. Something was cooking as during the Protocol procession Raila is said to have considered MaDVD for Nairobi County Governor.
Kidero has made Nairobi much worse, it is the National government that has chipped in to make the By-passes that exist in Nairobi. Kidero has only done Muthurwa road after million complains on bad condition and very dirty market
I watched Orengo at Senate try to water down the Bill requiring complementary system for voters register which he frown upon and looked defeated hence signs that Raila lost. Orengo is in the wrong party by virtue of toeing the line not principles. They ended up blaming the Speaker who allowed Nominated members to vote as they did in other National matters.
Raila is becoming an Alarmist cheating that he has 11 Million votes now for August. His polls theory seem personal since Angela Ambitho refused to write a Lie
Raila want Opposition to break down so that he can take his party ODM to Jubilee and form a coalition leaving Kalonzo in opposition. He has done it once with Moi and might do it again.
