Kenyans should accept the recent Supreme Court decision unanimously sanctioning the October repeat presidential ballot, clearing all obstacles, allowing Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto to set sail into a second term.
Mr Raila Odinga, leader of opposition National Super Alliance (NASA), call off your henchmen, as Kenya doesn’t need death and destruction as in past elections. The same goes for Jubilee, as violence only begets violence, and in the end the country as a whole suffers.
Ethnic hatred shouldn’t be an issue as Kenya has made tremendous improvements under Kenyatta. Jubilee isn’t perfect although corruption is easy to ascertain, but the economy is one of the largest in East Africa, bringing in much needed investment and manufacturing dollars that are putting ordinary citizens back to work.
Much more foreign direct investment is needed to improve tourism, agriculture and infrustructure just to name a few entities that are lacking. Kenya road projects have been a boost for the economy from Mombasa to Kisumi and Nairobi to Moyale.
Violence only impedes development as seen through the attacks from Al Shabaab when they invaded Garissa and slaughtered nearly 150 college students. They’ve been accused of beheadings along the coast near Lamu Island, and lets not forget Westgate Shopping Mall when you guessed it, Al Shabaab killed nearly 70 unsuspecting shoppers.
Violence near Lamu port was the main reason Museveni pull out of the Uganda-Kenya oil pipeline proposal and diverted to Tanzania, even though the Lamu Port route would have been closer and less expensive.
You already have an external force trying to tear Kenya apart, do you need internal groups butchering each other? I don’t think so.
Kenya has witnessed enough election violence during the December 27, 2007 election between President Mwai Kibaki , and yes the same Raila Odinga, as more than 1,000 Kenyans loss their lives to senseless violence.
The citizens of Kenya deserve better leadership in order to move the country forward.
So Uhuru get to work and build the Nairobi-Mombasa Expressway, the SGR to Naivasha and beyond. And the railroad to the Ethiopian border.
