POLITICS NATION

The current wave of politics being witnessed around the country has been an interesting twist of events! It has for sure caught many unaware. Leaving euphoria and political mind games behind these events, Kenyans should be able to learn from these great insight openers. The political alliances of previous ‘political foes’ in the political scenes should clearly send a strong signal to Kenyans.

The coalition of politicians to achieve their interests is unmatched to their flocks (the citizens), who themselves cannot do the same to have their interests and needs met. Sadly enough though the politician’s possess the power to have their political fanatics hate and murder each other, all in the name of supporting ‘our leader’. This was witnessed in the 2007-2008 elections where Kenyans turned against each other. 

I hope the recent political mergers and bonding of political parties will help Kenyans in understanding that in politics there are no permanent friends and enemies.  It’s high time the citizens begin to learn from them. Not only does it happen in parliament when passing bills that favors them at wee hours of the dark but also during the eve of political transitions. Political marriages as it has been popularly referred to by the local media have characterized the country’s political scenes leaving citizens aghast! If only could the Kenyan citizens know how to come together like their leaders to demand and for their needs and best strategise  on how they can achieve them then their lives will never again be the same again.

The citizens should also learn to demand for issues based politics and avoid cheap politics based on non-inclusion; hate and unethical political malice .They should rather strive to be always demanding of their rights and be assertive of actions and responsibilities of their leaders and importantly their independent actions and contributions too!

The vetting of politicians to meet the standards required by the constitution should also be taken seriously. The integrity chapter in the Kenyan constitution (Chapter 6) is the best means of stumping out the bad leaders who have ailed the country for long. With leaders who have been vetted in place the country will be able to start a fresh with a new spirit ready to serve people and not themselves as it has been in the previous past. Government matters and also the public issues will be dealt with integrity and conscious political responsibility. This will mean that the citizens will be able to get the best out of their leaders!

All these is about to be realized, if only and only citizens gets to be united by their common interest just as their leaders have been able to show no differences and collude to achieve their interest. The focus here to all the citizens should be getting their rightful piece of cake nothing more and nothing less. They should do it with wholeness and in a right manner with morals and not at wee hours like the MPs and other corrupt deals done in darkness. With such levels of consciousness and will to act Kenyans will be ready to go! Kenyans therefore can happily change their game plan by stealing the show from their ‘MPIGs’ and running away with it!!
