BOTH CORD & JUBILEE HAVE FAILED

Let us get three things clear!

ONE

The government (read Jubilee) is responsible for the overall growth and development of this country. That is the mandate of every government elected into power; it goes without saying. And that is why citizens dutifully pay taxes; to enable governments of the day to undertake their core mandate to the people.

Unfortunately, the government (read Jubilee) has terribly failed Kenyans in this regard. So in effect, Uhuru and Ruto, or any other person who rode to office through Jubilee does not merit another chance in office.

In an ideal situation, the whole lot of them would be guests of the state – incarcerated in gaol for wanton looting and plunder of public resources.

TWO

With the promulgation of the new constitutional dispensation that gave Kenyans devolved systems of government, the opposition finds itself as ‘government’ in some of the devolved units called counties. To be precise, the opposition (read CORD) is in direct control of 24 counties as opposed to Jubilees’ 22.

In which case, as the ‘government’ of these 24 counties, CORD is directly responsible for the growth and development of each of these devolved units. The tax-payers money is channelled right back into these counties after all – directly into the control of CORD governors.

Unfortunately, CORD has also terribly failed Kenyans in these 24 counties. So in effect, all CORD luminaries or person(s) who rode to any office through CORD does not also merit another chance in office.

THREE

With the tyranny of numbers and the massive national resources in the palm of his hands, Uhuru (had he wanted) could have easily effected positive economic growth and development. But he chose otherwise.

With the ‘tyranny’ of counties in the palm of his hands - he once bragged that he controls more governments than Uhuru -( Cord has the numbers), Raila too could have chosen to spur (through his governors) unrivalled economic growth and development in his counties. Used the golden opportunity to showcase his much touted credentials to show Kenyans why he merits the presidency in 2017. Instead, he too chose to let wanton plunder of county (public) resources run amok without lifting a finger against the thieving governors.

You be the judge. It’s your vote after all! Just remember, when you say the government has failed, know that you are invariably referring to both CORD and JUBILEE.
