POLITICS : The Ironies of The Tragedies and Comedies Bedeviling Kenyan Politicsg

Hi everyone, I have finally managed to once again squeeze some time to access the global audience. Times are dire and call for desperate tough measures/resolutions otherwise bad things might follow especially given that it's only 30 days to go to the elections. The other day 9 presidential candidates and their respective running mates presented their prerequisite papers/documents and themselves for vetting by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission flanked by their ardent supporters in and outside The KICC. Eight passed the thresh-hold while the 9th failed simply because him and his running mate could not make it in time. The IEBC was following/adhering to laid down rules in letter and spirit laying down a model for the presidential contenders to prescribe to as a rude awakening to the realities and expectations of the Kenyan people vis-a-vis the newly dispensed constitution. If one can not simply stand the test of keeping punctual time frames, then it follows logically that they are not fit to run The Office of The Chief at the location level, so they automatically have no business aspiring to run The Highest Office in land, The land of Kenya, measuring approximately 5,000 thousand square feet. The two main/major camps belittling the p.m., v.p. and former long serving foreign affairs minister vis-a-vis the ICC duo of a deputy prime minister and the former agriculture minister are the cocks to look-out for. There have been claims in the media that the rallies are by large pulled,mobilized,orchestrated,organized,choreographed, along ethnic lines thus polarizing whole regions which in turn is feared/seen as a subconscious gear-up for possible chaos,disorder,violence,i.e. large scale breach of peace more or less similar to the 2007 post election violence. You see, my analysis/view/ is that the CORD coalition of the p.m., v.p., and former foreign minister is a mirage because it is based on the fallacy of pity and empathy of being a continuation of the push for change that so the incumbent President in to office by the collective bargain/consensus that pitted the Kenyan people vis-a-vis the then professor of politics, the immediate former president. The factors for one that governed the sway of the Kenyan voter have changed and as such that position does not mirror the fact on the ground.Secondly,the government that is retiring was a product of mediation talks by the group of elites led by the enviable Koffi Annan who brought the bickering parties to the table and got them to share the national cake albeit unwillingly. And share it they did right down the middle from the ministries to the provincial administration and civil service. This included Chiefs and office messengers. Thus, This CORD affair is not based on any stringent,competent,integral,performance, issue-oriented criteria/thresholds/standards. In any case,the v.p. and the former foreign minister have always been at odds with the p.m. during the Incumbent's regime and so they are only coalescing to preserve their individual personal statuses and vested interests. I wouldn't be any more surprised should the v.p. or the former foreign minister quit the rocking boat of the p.m. for the same reason that the other immediate erstwhile lieutenants did. Even his immediate ex-running mate quit in a huff to to find room for democracy to prevail in party politics when it comes to nominating presidential flag bearers. The p.m.'s boat whichever he forms never managers to sail the political waters without major break-offs and fall-apart s. This is largely because his is a one man show and he is known to breath hard on everybody's neck. He calls all the shots and shouts down/out any body who dare have a different opinion. The office of the president has sadly become a personal thing for him since the 82's when he attempted to throw a coup and hundreds lost their lives. You will hear him in rallies echoing the old guerrilla warfare spirit when he eerily starts to command the crowds calling them 'my soldiers' and telling them to 'quick march' to his orders on his way to state house, commander-in-chief ot the armed forces even in an unnecessary country like Kenya. He has never made it through the ballot and if history is to repeat itself he is neither going to make it this time around. I would advice him to start plotting a 2nd strategy plan 'B' along the grounds of secession/guerrilla warfare should he be once again disappointed by the results. I will elaborate further, excuse me.
