Im afraid we will be forced to remove kibaki by force
I watched both Kibaki and Railas last rallies at Uhuru Park and Nyayo stadium respectively. The rallies were jam packed even though the nyayo stadium one had more people.
On that day, Raila pulled out both a red and a yellow card and symbolically showed them to Kibaki. After asking Nairobi residents to vote “three piece”, he the finished by giving Kibaki a warning, the warning was against an attempt at rigging. He told him that Kenyans would not let him get away with such an action. My guess is that Kibaki and cronies thought that they would rig, simply hoodwink the international community then get away with it. Besides they were assured of keeping everybody in check with the help of police, GSU and Musevenis boys: http://radiokatwe.com/kibakialimuonam7080115.htm. They supposed that if ODM refused to go to court then it would look bad in the eyes of the world. But should ODM go to court then Justice Gicheru and co. were waiting to scatter their case. It shocked Kibaki that the world understood that “his” courts were filled with his cronies and that there would be no justice served if ODM attempted to sue.
What they did not anticipate is the outpouring of anger from every quarter of Kenya. Infact, the government spokesman Dr. Goebbels Alfred Mutua aka Baghdad Mutua stupidly tried to assure Kenyans that this problem would melt away in a couple of days. Well, here we are day 20 after Kibaki stole the vote and there is no sign of the problems going away. The GSU have been used to kill people but unfortunately this has not and will not prevent Kenyans from demanding their rights. All they are asking for is justice.
The shoot to kill order in Kisumu and Eldorate has not deterred Kenyans from coming out in large numbers to demonstrate against the illegal government. The torching of business premises in Kisumu/Eldorate towns by the security forces has not also prevented people in these towns from soldiering on.
Kibaki and cronies have to either choose the bullet or the ballot, for there is no two way about it. Kenyans always preferred the ballot but in case Kibaki chooses the bullet as a means of perpetuating himself on power then like the late Mobutu he will have to drop everything else and concentrate on protecting the illegally acquired power. That the MP for Othaya stole the vote is not in dispute internationally http://www.economist.com/world/africa/d … d=10438473 or nationally.
I have always advocated against economic sanctions because it’s the poor who suffer afterall. If EU/US rules to sanction Kenyan then I will without fear of contradiction say that the displaced will never ever go back to the properties they were chased away from. Which will be ashame, given that Kibaki can decide any minute to defuse the situation. Its strange that the illegal government cannot see the peoples anger.
We the people of Kenya must first try removing Kibaki using legal means but should that fail, then I would not be surprised if he were removed through illegal means.
