Let's Work for Credible not "Peaceful" Elections
We often go
wrong when we pretend to work so hard to deliver so called "peaceful"
(calm) elections. Such are not any solution to stability, they never aid
stability. Since elections are normally very divisive and account for many
conflicts in the world today the solution is to invest in and work for credible
elections. What makes elections credible is not calmness or what many people
call peace and "peaceful" (calm) elections never can assure
national stability. What we need are free, fair, democratic and just elections.
If and when a country is able to hold and entrench such it can be sure to move
to stability and peace. If you want peace never actually pretend to work for
peace! Peace is a fruit; it is a product; an outcome. If you want peace, be
very busy with justice. Work for justice, meddle in politics since a just
political system is a sure means to peace and stability. This is why we should
be more concerned with the IEBC reforms than the event of August 7, 2017.
