I must say, Raila should have pressured Kibaki for MOU maybe he would have succeeded him. Mt Kenya people truly liked him.

[@Allan_O._Muthiga]

We are very dishonest to each other as a country, no wonder we are in trouble all the time. Kibaki was a good president. But, very regretfully, he rigged the election. There would have been no violence had he accepted defeat. It would have strengthened our electoral democracy. But guess what, we ended up with Uhuru and Ruto. Uhuru was interested in growing family business, while Ruto stole whatever he could lay his hands on. And we are stuck with the same Ruto, with Mt Kenya under his imprisonment, and our freedom and liberty now threatened by the impending violent kleptocracy that Ruto promises. Ask yourself why the people who denied Rao the presidency now want him to lead. I wish we had a country where we do not give much priority to political thugs. Such a system will happen when we wrest control of our economy from the government/politicians, back to households. Let me give an example, if we had famine, what stops the private sector from importing maize and selling it at market prices? Instead, we allow the government to import maize at exorbitant prices, and the next day you hear a minister looted from that project. Can we have truly free markets? Can we confine the government to doing what it was initially established to do, under the social contract, and hence reduce the influence of ignorant and greedy politicians on our economy?

Honestly, we were made to believe Kikuyu are thankless and untrustworthy and even the Equity loans were politicized. I remember Raila said Kibaki took the government money and put in Equity to help his community. We were blinded by propaganda and we were politically immature.

[@triplebeans4159]

Blame that on kibaki for turning on his coalition partners and isolating himself from the rest of the country with his tribal leadership.

[@safinahighschool2179]

Kibaki promised to deliver a new constitution within 100 days because the Bomas Draft Constitution was ready. Everyone was expecting it to come through. All it needed was parliamentary approval. Where did they hide this document ? Bomas draft had recieved such wide acceptance because it had been designed by delegates from all over Kenya in a calm and calculated environment. If Kenya wants to prosper as a nation and maintain peace after it's elections, we need to overcome the winner takes all mentality. True devolution must take place to raise the status of all kenyans in an equitable way. The Bomas sitting should be revived and the draft revised to fit our experiences in these two decades. God bless Kenya

[@triplebeans4159]

The bomas draft advocated for the position of a powerful prime ministerial position that raila was to occupy in the next election (07) based on the MOU they had signed during the formation of the Narc coalition.

If anyone has watched the FRONTLINE PBS documentary on the American Great Divide will see a striking similarity in the script of this documentary. I appreciate the quality of production of the videos but I would like to point out that you don't have to pull out a script of American political history and try to fit it in the Kenyan situation. Kenyan political history may some small similarity with that of America but they are largely different. Kenyan politics is highly motivated by tribal loyalty and the interests of the elite take centrestage whereas American politics is hugely motivated with race undertones and ideological rigidity. The documentary, especially the video quality and interviews have largely been well produced although the downside seems to be part of the script has been copied from the American FRONTLINE documentary to try to make it seem that there is similarities between the political dispensations of both countries but that can't be further from the truth.
