LET KENYANS DECIDE.


#OWN OPINION. Every Kenyan,irrespective of tribe, race, religion, sex, height or anything to go by has every right to voice their opinion. In such instance, I share mine: In the ongoing campaigns, the CORD & JUBILEE presidential aspirants have been waging a cold war of words on each other, blaming the opponent of historic & other injustices conferred upon them and Kenyans at large. Such instances include, Land grabbing, Your father did this to my father, my family was attacked by your family, the ICC case, corruption, etc. As a very observant Kenyan voter, am wiser now. Long ago, before I attained the qualified age to vote, I'd buy such crap. I'd blindly and foolishly agree with such. Not now. But what am focused on is, My future. My Children, My grandchildren, their offsprings future and of every other Kenyan. Indeed, none of the Presidential candidates leading the polls is a Messiah. Infact, they should not be trading accusations on each other! When Jesus Christ came onto a crowd that was about to stone an adulterous woman, He asked of the most pure at heart be the first to cast a stone. No one dared. I'd ask of the same from the 2 Candidates. Instead of preaching ills of another(read Uhuru), in the Name of his Father-who even never got to show his son how to gather riches-to acquire votes, please preach to all Kenyans on how you(read Raila) are going to lead us to the promised land: how you are going to deal with poverty: how you are going to improve our country's GDP and our future too! Am tired of all this fuss about the land tht keep coming up in major rallies! My father-May his soul R.I.P-toiled hard to own the land that we currently live on, yet he never told me how the elder Kenyatta stole land from his father!! Why don't you address the plight of the IDP's in camps now tht you are both in the government?? Sarcastically, one is the boss to the other in the pecking order. I'll ask, can't you use tht position to 'reclaim', if thts the word, what you think the other's father stole? In a sovereign country like Kenya, there is the Judiciary, the courts. There is a Ministry of Lands. Funnily, tht docket lies under your office. Could this mean tht you only came to notice of this issue just a few weeks ago? Having been Kenya's longest serving Prime Minister-the former being Jomo Kenyatta who served shortly before becoming the first President-you never addressed that issue, in this case, regarding Uhuru or Kenyattas family large tracts of land. Instead, u played along quietly, only criticizing your coalition co-principal, H.E the outgoing president E.M.Kibaki, on issues of appointments. Nearly a third of campaign trail has seen you fight against Uhuru either because of his immense wealth, or his Father's injustices upon your family. This shows how eager you are to revenge. My opinion, you are a time bomb ready to explode in the name of revenge. You are so tied up to the past, tht the future will leave you behind. Am speaking entirely based on your current campaign methods of wooing voters. Your development and other issues concerning the well being of our country, I'll leave it for Kenya to decide. My only plea to CORD & Raila, is to tell Kenyans why we should vote for them and how they shall raise the standards of every Kenyan, young or Old, and not how you are going to reclaim others land in the name of acquiring bck 'stolen' property. To my Knowledge, The Portuguese and the Arabs dominated the Kenyan land before the British Colonialists came and owned all the land under the British Monarchy; King and later Queen Elizabeth 2. If legal documents are not legal before the courts, then I'd b convinced of tht phrase, 'stolen land'. I'd say, constructive campaign is by dealing with how to fulfill your manifesto promises, Mr P.M. Let Kenyans vote, and their voice be heard through the outcome. I'd be happy to work under Your or Uhuru's government, as long as you both toe along the constitution and the rule of law and Kenyans. Again, this is my own opinion, am only Voicing it. Kenyans are the judges,they have the last laugh.As a promising youth, I'd be happy to have a government in place that recognizes the young Kenyan who has a lot to offer towards the development of Kenya and in achieving Vision 2030. Its only 7 days to the historical elections, and your vote counts. Vote wisely, and put in place the government you'd be happy to govern you! Never again shall Kenya and Kenyans bleed and suffer in the name of Hate Speech and Smear Campaigns!!! God Bless You and God Bless Kenya! #OWN OPINION
