RE:THE THREE PIECE DEBATE IN NYANZA

HI NYAGER,

THERE IS A GROWING ANXIETY ESPECIALLY IN NYANZA ABOUT VOTING IN ANY POPULAR CANDIDATES ON THE 27TH DECEMBER, 2007 REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE SPONSORING PARTY IS ODM,NARC OR KADDU.THIS LINE OF THOUGHT IS BROUGHT ABOUT BY A LARGE FEELING THAT NOMINATIONS WERE NOT FREE AND FAIR HENCE,UNPOPULAR CANDIDATES WERE 'IMPOSED' ON THE ELECTORATE.

HOWEVER,JUDGING BY THE FEELINGS ON THE GROUND ON SUNDAY 16TH AT MOI STADUIM KISUMU AND THE 'OPINIONS' ADVANCED BY BOTH RUTO AND MUDAVADI,ODM NEEDS TO BE VERY CAREFUL.KIBAKI'S REIGN WAS CHARACTERISED BY INSTABILITY WITH REGARD TO MAJORITY MPS WHO ARE LOYAL.IN THE PROCESS,ALIREGAREGA HAPA, HUKO, PALE UNTIL HE HAD TO SETTLE ON MZEE MOI AND UHURU FOR SURVIVAL.

I HAVE A STRONG FEELING THAT ODM GOVERNMENT WILL BRING TANGIBLE CHANGES THAT NEED TO LIBERATE KENYANS ONCE AND FOR ALL.THIS CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED IF IT HAS THE CAPABILITY TO IMPLEMENT WHAT IT HAS PROMISED KENYANS. LEGALLY, THE MPS WILL BE THE DETERMINING FACTOR AND AGWAMBO AND HIS TEAM MUST GET A CLEAN SHEET OF PARTY MPS WHO WILL NOT TURN INTO A TUJU LIKE AND DERAIL THE GOVERMENT PROCESS.

I KNOW IT MAY BE VERY PAINFUL FOR THE SUPPORTES OF MPS WHO DECAMPED TO OTHER SMALLER PARTIES,BUT TRUTH BE TOLD, RAILA NEEDS AS MANY ODM MPS AS POSSIBLE.THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GUARANTEE HIS GOVERNMENT STABILITY THAT IT WILL SO MUCH REQUIRE TO DELIVER ON ITS PROMISES.

A TIME COMES WHEN THE DESIRE FOR CHANGE OVERIDES OUR PERSONAL INTERESTS AND THESE MPS WHO WERE 'FLOORED' DURING NOMINATIONS,FAITHFULLY OR OTHERWISE,NEED TO SWALLOW THEIR PRIDE AND ASSIST RAILA IN HIS QUEST TO CHANGE THE DESTINY OF THIS COUNTRY-KENYA.

THE PENTAGON MEMBERS AT MOI STADUIM ON SUNDAY WHO STRONGLY ADVOCATED FOR A THREE PIECE TIER,BALALA EVEN CALLED IT FOUR PIECE,KNEW WHAT THE POLITICAL FUTURE PORTENDS FOR AN ODM GOVERNMENT WITH FRAGMENTED MPS.I PRAYERFULLY HOPE AND HOPEFULLY PRAY, THAT NYANZA EQUALLY GOES THREE PIECE,[FULLY],HOWEVER PAINFUL IT WILL BE TO SOME OF US.IT IS THE ONLY AND LAST PRICE WE ARE ABLE TO PAY THIS CENTURY.

AND AS I REQUESTED EARLIER,LET EVERYONE WHO HAS VOTES VOTE.NYAGA TOLD THE SAME RALLY THAT IN CENTRAL PROVINCE,16 YEAR OLDS HAVE BEEN ISSUED WITH NATIONAL IDs AND THIS CONFIRMED MY EARLIER FEAR THAT PNU WILL DO WHATEVER IS POSSIBLE TO RETAIN POWER.PLEASE BROTHERS AND SISTERS,LET US ALL TROOP TO THE POLLING STATIONS TOGETHER WITH OUR PARTNERS,NEIGHBOURS AND FRIENDS.AND AS MARTIN SHIKUKU ALSO PUT IT,THE MARRIED ONES SHOULD SLEEP FACING OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS ON THE NIGHT OF 26TH.AFTER ALL IT IS ONLY ONE NIGHT.
