Dear
Sirs.
This
is in relation to your application to be elected to manage the affairs of this
nation.
As
your would-be employer, I have the following to say. You must take Kenyans for
complete buffoons devoid of reasoning faculties. Either that or you are
blissfully oblivious to the glaring fact that ‘there is a shortage of fools in
Kenya’ – to replicate the words of one of you. Granted, there may yet be
pocketfuls of gullible individuals in the swarming mass of the hoi-polloi whom you
may still succeed in hoodwinking into blindly following your blazing trail of
lies and half-truths. Allow me to yet borrow a quote favored by one of you -
“you can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of
the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time”.
It
inflicts great pain to watch the daily charade that you so spiritedly and
brazenly employ in your selfish antics to befuddle the minds and emotions of
Kenyans into electing and entrusting you with the mandate of running the
affairs the government and the crucial onus of implementing the new
constitution. You purport to be the real champions of true change, peace and
unity within the country. Need I remind you that actions speaketh louder than
words? As you arrogantly purport to be the agents of constitutional change,
your actions alone betray, belie and render the very words emanating from your
mouth bereft of any iota of truth and honesty.
For
how dare you issue empty promises of implementing the new constitution when the
document itself nullifies your very insistent to run for elective office? If
you cannot accord respect to a single clause in the very constitution, how dare
we entrust to you the important affair of over-seeing the whole document to its
successful implementation? All it does is paint a perfect picture of you as
hypocritical lords of impunity and criminal elite keen on selfishly gaining and
reining a strangle-hold onto power.
To
pretend to cast upon the electorate the decision to gauge your suitability to
govern this country is pure crass and malice – at best a predatory attempt to
pray onto the emotions of the electorate. It reeks of an i-don’t-care attitude.
For the electorate is not a court of law. You cannot purport to transfer the responsibility
of a law court to the mwananchi. Granted, everyone is entitled to their own
rights – including the right to be held innocent until proven guilty. No one
can begrudge you that. Being Kenyan accords you the right to vie for any
elective post. The leadership and integrity threshold chapter however takes
away that right from you. So when a court of law suspects you of any crime, it
is logical to find clearance with that very same body of law – not from the
court of public opinion.
As
enshrined in the constitution, your leadership (before you’re declared free of
any wrong-doing) would in effect be in conflict with the purposes and
objectives of the constitution. Further, it would demonstrate a lack of respect
for the people, bring dishonor to the nation and demean the presidencya thereby
eroding public confidence in the integrity of the office you seek to lead.
This
is to hereby inform the both of you that you do not qualify to vie for elective
posts in this country – let alone manage its affairs. Your application has thus
been regrettably rejected.
Yours
Faithfully
Kenyan
Employer.
