Musakhulu Potosi your disenchantment of kenya's choice for their third president is very much understood.Why on earth you would compare Uhuru Kenyatta with Kibaki is where the problem lies.Most Kenyans never voted for Kibaki for the sake of change but rather to spite Moi whom they rightly or not blame for their maladies.Uhuru was infact penny wise but pound foolish not to see through this and went ahead to plunge his person in Moi's dirty tricks.His so called running mate the very short lived Vice President in the Kenyan history so far Musalia Mudavadi got punished by the electorate because of siding with Mutukuffu Moi when no one wanted even to touch him with a 27 foot stick.The whole issue here for all African politicians to learn from is to stop thinking they are indispensible.The holy writ in the book of Ecclessiates clearly states :"For everything under the sun,there is a time." Most of our Politicians just do not get this that is why they usually wait to be hounded out of office as if they were common criminals which indeed they invariably turn themselves into by manipulating a people for so long.On the issue of most of the corrupt being with Kibaki that is what it is like in most countries in the World even the mighty US included.Leaders have to come from the society and it is what the society has that it offers.Do not expect saints in the next Kenyan government but for all it takes for now let's give Kibaki the benefit of doubt about his ability to bring real change in the corrupt pysche of many Kenyans,besides,much as it is good to pontificate on values in our neighbour's backyards we should also look into our own mirrors and see how the log in our eyes can be removed other than falling prey to the BMW(Bitching,Moaning and Whining)Syndrome that spectators like you and me always find themselves in.
