| President Uhuru Kenyatta during Jamhuri day celebrations at Nyayo Stadium |
In his Jamhuri Day
speech, President Uhuru Kenyatta started well, by calling for unity amongst all
Kenyans, in accordance with the vision of our forefathers, who fought for our
independence. However, he lost me at the point where he turned the event into a
Jubilee campaign platform and went ahead to cheat Kenyans that all our primary
schools have been connected to electricity and supplied with tablets. White
lie! Never mind that children were promised laptops not tablets.
He was also out of
order to repeat the fallacious assertion that the ICC is a western powers tool
aimed at manipulating African countries. His clear hatred for the ICC is purely
hypocritical at a time when his next-door counterparts have been slaughtering
their own people with utter impunity. Case in point; South Sudan, Uganda and
Burundi. Yet there is always no African solution in sight, as the AU sits like
a toothless bulldog.
His allegations that
money is being poured into the country from foreign powers in order to
destabilize his struggling gov't is pure propaganda aimed at soliciting
sympathy from the public.
Finally, the president
absolutely has no right to dismiss the opposition as "yale makundi mengine
yanaeneza ukora." he must agree that the opposition has done its work of
exposing the rot in his gov't and his fragile regime is likely to be swept out
of power next year.
Only a highly disorganized
opposition will fail to beat an incorrigibly corrupt gov't like that of
Jubilee. The possibility of being the first one-term president in the history
of this country is real and it must be giving president Kenyatta sleepless
nights.
