There's an e-mail doing the rounds accusing a presidential candidate of past and present sins - real and imagined. It is our civic duty to analyze .. .

THE SINS OF RAILA

1. RAILA IS NOT A TEAM PLAYER
Fact: The Moi team players were very successful
(Moi team players = Goldenberg)

The Kibaki team players have been mildly successful
(Kibaki team players = Anglo Leasing)

If team playing is Goldenberg or Anglo Leasing, then we need a presidential candidate who is not a team player.

The "NO!" referendum campaign led by Odinga was a manifestation of the greatest team play in Kenya history. Who is not a team player?

2. RAILA'S ADVENTURES LED TO INNOCENT DEATHS IN 1982
Fact: The 1982 coup attempt was crushed. The 1952 Mau Mau insurrection was crushed. But the two events, though they led to the loss of many innocent lives led to a great dawn. August 1, 1982 should be looked at not as a ONE DAY aberration, but as a defining moment when arms were raised against the rape of a nation. It is time we stood proud and honoured the fallen heroes of 1982. The real villain was Moi and his "team".

3. RAILA CALLS EVERY SMALL INVESTOR A DRUG DEALER
Fact: The Arturs are neither small, nor investors. The Arturs are thugs. The Arturs are con-men. The Arturs are mercenaries. It is a crime to even think of whitewashing the shame that is the Arturs. Let's identify these "small investors" by their true label.

4. RAILA IS A BRASH IMPATIENT MAN
Fact: Every real Kenyan is impatient, quick & decisive. That is why foreign companies prefer employing Kenyans in their subsidiary companies in Uganda, Tanzania, etc. We don't want a leader who sleeps even while "his wife romps at night, trading punches with journalists in the newsrooms."

5. RAILA WILL LEAD KENYA INTO A RWANDA AND A CONGO
Fact: The Mt Kenya's Mungiki ... Nyachae's Red Shukas, etc. This the kind of stuff that leads to a Rwanda or a Congo. Raila has a national following. He does not need a militia. And Kenyans are too wise to allow their country to degenerate into an anarchy.

LEST WE FORGET ...
Section 2A, the constitutional amendment that made Kenya a "legal" one party dictatorship was passed in 1982.

Charles Njonjo proposed it in Parliament.
Mwai Kibaki seconded the infamous motion.

Who is the real anti-democrat?

VOTE WISELY!!!!

Send to another Kenyan.
