Kibaki’s nomination press-statement today was a bedtime story that has no value for the majority of Kenyans

Kibaki’s political frustration continues to pull him towards a dead end, his press-statement today in trying to respond to the speaker’s ruling shows that he is a cheap politician that serves the interest of few individuals who want to hold the country’s nod in 2011.

The unadulterated optimism of Kenyans towards the implementations of the new constitution continues to be rebuffed by one man not anyone else but this emerging dictator.

Frustrated Kibaki

He is usurping the will and integrity of the overwhelming majority of Kenyans by imposing dictatorial nominations which are seemingly bent on encouraging tribal appointments.

Today in his press-statements he has tantalizingly justified that his nomination were constitutional. He said that the process of nomination of the Chief Justice, the Attorney General and Director of Public Prosecutions were all according to the constitution. But we know that they were all unconstitutional, and the high court supports this.

He said “In my actions as your President, I have at all times acted in accordance with the Constitution and the Laws of Kenya”

But the question is where on earth he has acted in accordance with the laws; unprocedural nominations are not actions of constitution.

The fact that an overwhelming majority of Kenyans including a large section of the civil society groups have condemned his nominations is only enough to tell Kibaki that he has done it in the wrong.

Respecting the will of the majority is part of the constitution but Kibaki had failed to read the mood of the country by siding with few grandmasters of bad-politics to use his powers and impose on the people of Kenya nominations that do not represent their interest.

We therefore as Kenyans see that he is serving the interest of the so called KKK alliance and not the interest of the majority.
