Mekatilili,
Kenyans need to dig in real hard because they are about to face some retrogressive forces who will want to dial back the gains made in the new Kenya...more so by the Constitution. Right now the dream of the county governments is being killed by the Uhuru Kenyatta government...which is more of a tribal outfit surrounding him. Sample this what happened yesterday during the Governors meeting where Kibaki tried to tell the Governors they misunderstood the whole thing abut County governments......
Githae invited
Wamwangi to invite
Kibaki. After speaking,
Kihara took to the podium, and handed over to
Karega.
Githu Muigai then took over, assisted by
Muchemi.
Kimemia closed the meeting. Surely we could do better than appoint people from one region to handle the Transitional Authority which seriously speaking is the Government running Kenya right now before Uhuru settles in. And do not be cheated, the same will be retained for as long as Uhuru is President (read 10yrs). This Kinuthia Wamwangi guy said this during an interview with the Star:
Devolution Will Need 10 Years - Wamwangi | The Star
Ruto will surely be thrown to the winds pretty soon because we know who we are dealing with and circumstances will dictate the break up of that union. This devolution thing will be a thorn in this Government because the RV folks will ask Ruto for their economic power (read land) and Uhuru will not give back any ground gained by his oligarchic family. Then we have the ICC stories and how the evidence was gathered. It will be a very uncomfortable union to know your immediate boss had a hand in your misery back then. I cant wait for that drama. When these chips start falling we need to rise from the trenches from when we came during the days of Moi.
"This is a warning to Kenyans – don't be complicit in the establishment of a dictatorship-in-the-making disguised as democracy. A tyrant cannot be a tyrant without a victim. Bystanders are necessary for the tyranny to emerge because thirst for power invariably accompanies one for publicity." - by
Ndung'u Wainaina
Kenyans need to be very weary of these folks because it surely is a slippery slope we are walking.
God bless Kenya!
