I spent the past two weeks trying to compile a perspective on how the masters of impunity managed to steal this election and use it to see what their end game is. I was trying to establish how far they are willing to go. I based the writ on the 'chaos theory'. Halfway through, i gave up writting and researching when i realised that no matter what variable i threw in the chaos theory, the outcome remains not easy. The mademoni are bent on getting it their way no matter what, based on their past and recent behaviours.
That said, people have been mistaking the current silence in the country for PEACE. I tell them never mistake CALM for PEACE. Justice breeds peace.
So one of my rare additions to this here Jukwaa will be a song by Labi Siffre - Something inside so strong. We wont give up.

Nowayhaha. Any kenyan with average intelligence can visit any social media and sites such as daily nation to witness the matope being slung around between kenyans. Any intelligent kenyan with any grasp of world history knows that is an indication of the emotions bubbling inside that need a release. All they need is a trigger. What could be a trigger you ask; well, just one example could be our Attorney General who quiped before the elections that a senior judge could swear in the new president if the CJ is unavailable. What is he intimating ? Is he throwing that out so as to test the waters on kenyans reactions ? What about the meetings that took place before the elections with our CGS, Gichangi and kimemia ? Isn't that a variable that gives us a clue on how far this can go ? My question is this, will any right minded kenyan take it lying down ?

I saw the conference on youtube. However i am not sure if the claims that the mainstream media is ignoring them are true. i am not in the country so i wouldnt know. However i wonder what the police will do with the evidence presented to them by my man Ababu. The IEBC is a gift that keeps on giving. Is the evidence admissible in court at this stage ?
On the police using live amunition and teargas on peaceful gatherings, well further proof of the much needed reforms in that sector. How can a force that is meant to uphold the constitution be the one that breaks it with abandon. Were they even provoked ? i am glad the CORD chaps held their peace and did not give the police the excuse they so crave. They want us to go to the streets and battle them there. That is what they understand and what they were prepared for: BRAWN. The Supreme Court and peaceful means is a variable that wasnt high on their list of expectations. It is really bothering them.

What just happened in Kenya is very very unfortunate. I am afraid that history will keep repeating itself over and over again . But now, my hope is that the Supreme Court will make it's carefully considered decision and let the the TRUTH prevail. Justice is what we seek and may the Almighty help Kenya!. i have agonised over this and one thing keeps telling me " IT CAN'T GO ON LIKE THIS FOREVER"

Karibu Jukwaani Tough luck. I also fear that history may keep repeating itself and become what IT experts (pun intended) call ' a cyclic redundancy'
Oloo warns us in the pambazuka article that it may break our hearts leaving all our hopes for a better kenya in just the Supreme Court ruling forgeting the other potent arms of Government controlled by the "Lords" may be spending sleepless nights trying to find other dubious means to snatch (yet again) the coockie just as we are about to take a bite.
Obviously, even the merchants of impunity know that if it goes on, it inevitably leads to a clash of heads, it may take time but they know in that event, the people will win. They cannot kill each and every kenyan. who will they lord over ? but the poisoned chalice of power drowns any sort of reason inherent in humans. They will ignore any security briefings that show them what they dont want to hear or laugh off Mubarak or Gadaffi thinking they did not apply enough pressure on the people. Thats why history, my friend, will keep repeating itself.
We also are to blame as Wananchi. I understand that we as humans have the element of HOPE inbuilt in our psyche. It is what keeps us going in life. Heck, an election was won in America by a black man using HOPE as a slogan. But arent we using it without caution ? arent we drowning in it just like we drown in the faith of religion ? the faith that keeps people worshiping a God/Gods without any empirical evidence of their existence, the faith that makes believers strap themselves with bombs and 'matyr' themselves so long as they demise with a bunch of 'misbelievers'. We as wananchi have to start asking ourselves and our politicians serious questions.
I hate being cynical or defeatist but when i read a post by my dear jukwaaists; foresight, Omwenga and even dada Nereah saying "these people had to win this by hook or by crook coz a lot depended on it" then a line later he/she says "they have been caught stealing and we may go for a runoff which, judging by what is coming out, we will win"(ofcourse, not in those words) I wonder, if the riggers had a lot to lose and had to do it by hook or crook, what makes us think they still dont have a lot to lose now and will still win it by hook or crook in case of a run off ?
Why do we still expect them to behave with decorum yet we have seen many times that the word is non existant in their vocabularly ? what makes it different this time ? There is a lengthy post and discussion in deepcogitation started almost half a year pre election. The post is on IEBC and their lack of preparedness for the past election. almost everything that was predicted in the discussion came to pass. Why were we shocked when it happened ? most of us even took a sabbatical from forums because of the shock, yet we are back to preach the same message that the run off will be free and fair and the people shall win.
I ask myself sometimes whether the CORD leadership knew about the lack of preparedness by the IEBC before the elections. There is an article (i think in deepcogitation) about a report done by the west showing trouble with our just concluded elections. i am sure our leaders saw it. But what made them go ahead with it ? Hope that it will work out fine this time ? hope that because the cord leaders went to press saying there will be rigging, then the riggers will stop ? I ASK FORGIVNESS FOR MY CYNICISM BUT WHY SHOULD I NOT BE ?
