The Progressive Forces Were Not as Progressive
It
doesn't so bother me that Uhuru Kenyatta could have stolen this election, after
all, he is surrounded by so many thieves and thievery is normally what thieves
do. It would have been (and will be) a surprise if, in fact, they didn't steal.
That said, my real beef is with the Prof. Wainainas, Dr. Kaluyus, Dr. Ekurus of
this country. They came under the "banner" (lie) of progressive
forces prepared to change Kenya's political landscape but swiftly chickened out
in the presence of apparently compromised elections and brutal state. It is
only the same old man that they vilified as not being an alternative who is
still staying the cause in fighting for the democracy of our country. Only
Raila Amolo Odinga has remained on the right side of history. The Kavingas were
around just for show.
