No more politics of the foreskin!

From: Rabet Maatari

Ladies and gentleman, I proclaim that the season of political opportunism is here with us. The season of latter day saints is again rearing its ugly head. People who have been nurtured in the Nyayo school of political sycophancy, corruption and selfishness are again lining up to reap the from the hard work of the agents of change!

But alas the year is 2007 and Kenyans are saying enough is enough! They are no longer gullible and refuse to succumb to the politics of the foreskin. They want to witness real change in the way things are run in Kenya. They refuse to be sold on belated democrats that are Kalonzo Musyoka and Musalia Mudavadi.

Even the diehard opponents of Raila Odinga are of the opinion that in the divided house that is Orange only he has the true credentials to mount a legitimate and serious threat to the Kibaki presidency. For many, a Kibaki versus Raila contest not only represents a dual between sustained economic growth versus a promise for change but will also bring to a closure the Kikuyu versus Luo political supremacy match! Not even adherent Kibaki supporters want to see the travesty that is the board room agreement on a consensus candidate that will not result in a Kibaki versus Raila contest. For crying out loud the electorate wants such a contest!

For a brief insight please read the numerous blogs in different forums. Gitau Warigi and Mutuma Mathiu could not have stated it better in their respective columns in the Sunday Nation. Steadman and their skewed polls have been at pains to confirm the desired match up. Kass FM’s non-scientific poll has confirmed it twice in a row. Ruto, can you hear the people now? Kalonzo and Musalia move over, Kibaki and Raila are coming!
