 From the economical point of view, I confer with Mr.
Kiprono and Mr. Rop that we are better off during Kibaki's
presidency. There is a strong wave of investement need in Kenya, the
shilling has continued to appreciate, economic reforms were
initiated, the economic growth (GDP) is 6.9% which is the highest in
over a decade and is the highest in Sub-saharan Africa, inflation is
low. Will ODM sustain this economic growth. If so how?

 Felix,
 At least the three of us concur that from an economic point of
view Kibaki has demonstrated a substantial positive growth and as
such his argument of wanting another term is valid based on what we
see happening economically. The challenge for ODM is to clearly
articulate how they can beat that. I am willing to listen and even
change my mind if they can convince me that theirs will be more than
what we see. My fear here is putting a government that will reverse
the economic wheel.

      Bwana Rop,
Some people are always scared of change and thats why it does'nt come
as a suprise to me that you imagine ODM reversing the economic gains.
Yes, Kibaki administration has achieved a lot but you must not forget
that the economic blue-print that has spurred that growth was drafted
by, among others, Prof. Anyang-Nyong'o. On the other hand, Moi, Biwot
and the others are now in the PANU house. What else do you expect
from them? Besides, Uhuru is gearing up for 2012 and so we will be
back to that animal called KANU again!

            Kongoi Mr. Kiprop,
  "Change is as good as a rest" someone said and i agree we need change once in a while to refresh, re coupe and re-energize. However not all change is good.
Like Moi supporting Kibaki. On the other hand, all i hear is ODM for change. No one is telling us change from what to what, from where to where and above all for what reasons. There must be a reason for people to initiate change-that is
what i am still waiting to hear from the "ODM" camp.
