AN UNTIMELY DISTRICTS BLUNDER 23/10/2007

Some of the most unbecoming issues in the 24 year long Moi government's leadership styles were as follows::

Luring of opponents with money and / or employment positions in order to convert them from Siasa Mbaya Maisha Nbaya to Siasa Mzuri Maisha Mazuri.

Expanding the cabinet positions in order to secure the majority pro government votes on the government bills.

Awarding of new districts as a reward to his allies or else to lure votes from the newly found districts.

On announcement of the 40 new districts, you now perfectly fit in the age and cognition with your predecessor. No wonder you are currently pulling together, politically speaking. I want to imagine that one of the greatest driving force to seek presidency of this nation were to correct these anomalies that were clearly bankrupt of policies of sound management. The infamous retrenchment of hundreds of Kenyans was a harsh reality of Moi's desperation to lure as many people as possible to his side through offer of employment.

The awarding of the 40 new Districts was clearly aimed at pleasing the regions of the like of Mungatana and Tuju who are ardent government's allies. As a resident of Nyanza, I am just amazed. With due respect to Moi, during the first multi party elections, I could understand Moi's desperation. But I cannot understand how Kibaki can adopt this logic, even in desperation. How can you ignore all your sound knowledge of economics in order to fulfill cheap political gymnastics?

Look At This Data from 2005 ECK Figures:

Sir, you obviously did not rely on figures but simply thought that the creation of new districts could make some political sense. Your logic disregarded the geographical size and population of Siaya District - all the three constituencies of Siaya are larger than Rarieda District in terms of the number of registered voters and yet Siaya is TOO TINY to be subdivided. I wish you a lot of luck Sir in 2007 elections.
