Just a thought.

A time like this last year we were still embroiled in post election chaos after our President was sworn in with candlelight after a controversial Presidential election.

Mwai Kbaki had been sworn in at around 7PM in what the chairman of the disgraced electoral commission Samwel Mutua Kivuitu was to declare that was an action aimed at ensuring that a fake president was not sworn in.

Of course what happened later was too much to bear. Women and children were rendered homeless while more than a thousand people were killed.

Anyway, I don’t want to go to that direction because that is now water under the bridge but what I want to raise are the issue concerning Kenya as a democracy.

One when our President was sworn in, it was without ceremony and it was hurriedly done as if to forestall somethingthat was set to happen.

Two the opposition ODM was not any better, they had from the beginning of the year hyped about how the government would steal the election and therefore anything less would be a stolen election.

Of course Justice Johann Kriegler and his IREC observed that we would never know who won or lost.

But an issue of major concern is Kenya has been reduced to a mere personal property to be played and toyed with by the politicians.

The so called leaders can do everythibng possible to ensure that they cling or ascend to power.

Tonight, I want to ask them to watch keenly what happens to America and other developed states when Obama is worn in as the 44th President of the USA. That in this states the people respect the law and they have no business doing hanky pankys that only demonise other people or keep them in power.

Mohamed Abdikadir and his PSC on consitution review should ensure that his first dutty is to make sure that the president of Kenya and not the resident of a clique of rulers is sworn in after a certain period of time.

This will allow for transitions and the psychological preparation of those leaving and those incoming to be bale to let the country flow. After all Kenya is not the property of few Kibakis and Railas it is the property of us all and for this reason it should be guarded.

Its is just a thought
