Raila: PEV was Planned & Systematic

@inNai na @Sela najitolea kuwasaidia pia: Very simple: 1. In a political situation RAO PEV was spontaneous very correct politically. This is more so in as far as the coalition + post coalition politics were concerned. 2. In a legal situation: RAO PEV was planned and orchestrated by known persons who should be held accountable. This is also very correct and factual in as far as the situation on the ground demands- LMO and ICC. This however should not be interpreted to mean that RAO does not have his own weaknesses especially in as far as his own mouth is concerned. Look at it the other way, if it were RAO being charged over PEV, and WR is left out of it, the noise would be coming from the other side. To say that he is the only one out for power is to miss the point. The PNU/KKK alliances are determined in equal measure to ensure that Tinga does not capture the prize. As for Kaloozer, I pity him I've always deemed him weak but Reneberger couldn't have put it better: intellectual lightweight!

As a normal Kenyan, i knew there was 'tension'. I want to believe politicians knew the full extent of the problem. What i found very careless of them were the calls, initially from RAO & ODM to go to the streets and 'protest' the results. Even days after people had been killed, they still said so! I was almost caught up in the melee of protesters who has spilled over to Ngong Rd due to these calls, by RAO & ODM to 'protest'. Now going to PNU, the 'revenge' attacks as i saw them as a normal Kenyan were totally wrong. YOu do not right a wrong by a wrong. These too made some fairly peaceful towns also arise with hatred and/or violence. I know for example that some Luo & Kalenjin people i know living in a village in Nyahururu were not in any real danger until the Naivasha revenge attacks happened. And their fear coupled with the people's anger brought the house down! Wazuan's i MUST appeal to you to be above board. Yes, discuss politics but do not allow your love for a candidate blind you to the real values you hold. Those of Peace, Unity and Love for all mankind. Ok, i agree MO1 had at least the concept right  . It begins with you! I have personally decided that any candidate who hints at violence in 2012 will automatically be excluded from my vote. If today, my brother decides to run for president but begun speaking violence or doesn't have his priorities right, i will move to the next best candidate. That is my vow as a Mkenya halisi. ....above all, to stand.

To me, SKM makes smalltime stupid harmless lies of low interllectual magnitude. RAO is a clever dangerous mega liar to a point of causing a near-genocide (pitting the entire country against kyuks then pointing fingers) for his own political mileage. This guy wouldnt give a shiet if the country goes to the dogs so long as his own pple r ok, n so long as he isnt in pwr. Its obvious who is worse. Again, my observations. Yerp, the less said about Kalooser the better. Empty Recycle bin. As for RAO the only thing consistent as history is playing out is a man with a desire to grab power at all costs. The statements and actions seem geared to this. Hopefully the cultic following will wise up. With the new constitution, what's good for Kenya is good for them. @Rahatupu, who are you helping? Running for Presidency which carries Executive Power is not a crime. Read the following statement also underlined above to get the whole point - "a desire to grab power at all costs." This even if it means misrepresenting facts as people are burnt alive in a church. Your 'political' & 'legal' explanation is wanting in fact I'll not even discuss it. The Hague Six are being charged criminally. That is all we care about. The law.

We all know that RAO is a populist and he will say anything to be seen as if he cares for the mwananchi, on PEV its clear to everyone that the attacks were planned and not spontaneous, The biggest blame should be on the police because they did too little to contain the situation even after having enough intelligence, the law is very clear that a policeman is allowed to use excessive force in > protecting lives > protecting property and when his life is in danger and after all those deaths and destruction they did not use enough force to contain the situation so they failed miserably in their jobs, they should be made accountable...

When history is written, it will simply look to apportion blame to the one man who bears the most responsibility for the PEV. And thats the man who had all the power at that time; president kibaki, as president, he swore an oath to respect the constitution and protect Kenyans and did nothing during this dark period in our country's past. It was his cowardly action of being sworn in, in the middle of the night that sparked the protests either spontaneously or signalled the start of the planned attacks. Secondly, he ignored all warnings from the intelligence agencies about the impending attacks Thirdly, he failed to take action to stem the planned violence and instead opted to send rogue security agents to shoot people in Kisumu and Nairobi. When things became real bad, his inaction forced Kenyans to take desperate measures like revenge attacks on other innocent Kenyan's. And finally, four years after the deeds, he has been unable to arrest, charge and prosecute a single soul with responsibility for the violence. This has opened the door for the ICC to re-colonize our country. Guy's we all turn to our favourite punching bags when frustrated or just for the fun of it, but deep down we all know who dropped the ball. I am sure muthaura knows very well the source of his problems, and it is not from a lake, his eyes are cast up towards a certain mountain.

@Obi, That's okay Obi but you have not said what Baks organised.... anyway,go ahead and tell as whether someone is afraid that ODM minutes where organising/planning of attacks will be public stuff in a couple of weeks and he/she is trying to do damage control!!...oh boy! Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

@Obi - You raise some very valid points. In my view, Kibaki will be judged harshly for his inaction, naivete (economics vs politics), lack of foresight (not acting on intelligence) and failure to protect the lives of citizens from death and destruction. Raila will be judged harshly for defending ethnic cleansing and the killing of defenseless women and children as long as it could get him to the house on the hill (It is what @McReggae bluntly calls "all systems go for political reasons"). As is now emerging, time eventually separates truth from propaganda. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. Arthur Schopenhauer - German philosopher (1788 - 1860) Obi 1 Kanobi wrote:When history is written, it will simply look to apportion blame to the one man who bears the most responsibility for the PEV.

Wait for them to ask you who you know. Please don't make any sudden moves.

However, my position is that MK bears the biggest blame, in fact even now he is still busy authourising the spending our money to subvert the hague process yet he knows very well that we do not have a credible justice system to try anyone.
