From the Back Seat

What is all the fuss about Kenyan politics? Almost a month after the historical general elections in Kenya, temperatures and tempers are rising day in day out. Notwithstanding are the hundreds of innocent citizens dying and families losing their property and sources of livelihood. the recurring question remains, who do we point the finger to? Well I'll tell you, The Kenyan Government. Yes I said it,shoot me like you shot the other 300+ innocent citizens.

It is rather appalling that in the midst of the fracas and lack of tranquility, a policeman, who claims training from a top institution in Kenya will let his adrenalin take the best of him. Hundreds of innocents Kenyans have ended up six feet under or in dilapidated hospital beds as a result of a bullet wound that was inflicted by a man in uniform. Before pointing fingers or crossing over to the other side of the fence(the peoples' side), I'd like to sit on the fence and be neutral. so maybe Kenyans have an adrenalin than is way beyond control and someone, preferably God, needs to swing his hand and slap the entire country back to its senses. Police are genuinely required constitutionally to use any means within their reach to ensure the SAFETY of the citizens of Kenya. A number of options are presented to them in this regard namely:

1. Rubber bullets
2. Water from fire trucks
3. Tear gas
4. Peaceful negotiations which should actually be priority

Yes, and nowhere do we see the prescription of live ammunition against the Kenyans during what was actually a peaceful mass demonstration turned helter skelter run for dear life thanks to the......you guessed it!POLICE! It's not sad, rather its pathetic and sickening that the police kill the very people who pay them(Kenyans are among the highest taxed people in the world). A move by the opposition, or government in waiting as I would like to put it, to sue the Kenyan government for constant disregard and violation of human rights in the International Court of Law based in Hague is just the beginning of the long process as we fight for justice. For the Police Force which has turned form its motto."Utumishi kwa Wote"(translated:"Service to All") to "Utumishi kwaKibaki"(translated:"Service to Kibaki") judgment day is nigh

From the back seat,all is clear and the view is perfect but if you take the front seat, you will be oblivious of the obvious as events will pass you faster than you can say, "Raila, the People's President". Kenya is not in the front seat so Kibaki, stop treating us like we are.
