Politicians are all idiots in my opinion. Kalonzo told us a couple of weeks ago that the committees set up to debate the controversial nominations by the president or should I say Muthaura was wasted tax payers money and, this is forgetting that he spent 31 million a few weeks ago. The hypocrisy that he spews. In my opinion Kalonzo should be the first one to the Hague because he is yet again employing double standards and wants to capitalize where he has not reaped.
Marende made a ruling that should make Kenyans stand up and take notice that there still exists a few people who can be counted on to fight for our rights. Even the AG who is the chief legal counsel to the government and the president stood firm with the court saying the judicial nominations were unconstitutional and still we had people standing and saying Raila is the cause. Let me ask this, when was the last time you turned on the news and it was not Raila phobia or a group of MPs cowering in their back yards yelling at the top of their voices and chest thumping that he is killing their chances or their tribal leaders chances of being president? What happened to agenda politics and issues that affect the people? Kalonzo says we have a short memory but does he recall giving 50 cents arguments in parliament when questioned by Khalawale? Does he recall that at one time Raila was the only in parliament saying local tribunal and they said he was trying to shield his people? Does he recall the chants from MPs in the house saying lets not be vague lets go to the Hague? Short memory my ass. The geezers that vote him back in to parliament truly deserve the hyena they received. A man who after more than 27 years in parliament has never laid tarmac in his constituency even when he was at the hight of power, how do u expected a conceited fellow like this to have your interests at heart.
Kaparo then lent his voice to the people and said, “If the 222 of you keep quite then the president and PM would not make a 10th of the noise. Don't pretend you care about the common man when you are just thinking of your stomach”.
The arab world is ablaze. People's revolutions have swept like wildfire, and fixtures previously presumed unshakeable such as Hosni Mubarak of Egypt have been forced into abject capitulation. It started with Tunisia, went to Egypt, then jumped across to threaten the oil-rich Gulf State of Bahrain (the owners of our Gregory Konchellah's world athletics championship double-golds). Where the fall of the monarchy might trigger a domino effect across the wealthy western-leaning feudal kingdoms from the tiny Emirates to Saudia Arabia, Algeria, Morocco, Yemen, and even the stern islamic republic of Iran are all quaking at the rise of people power. but none more so than the Libyan Jamahiriya of the grand revolutionary himself, Muammar Gaddafi.
The revolutinonary-in-chief being consumed by the revolution has a poetic tinge to it, as have people's republics being overthrown by the people. In spite of this, there is something missing in the great puzzle. It would be naive to assume we're witnessing the birth of a people-led democracy in the arab world. Conspicuously silent in all this are the voices of extremist islam. One hope vacuums are not being created to be filled by violent religious dictatorships.
