Permit me to break into the residence of our in-depth political trans-reflections of our leadership and our thoughts disposed in bravery and panegyries of our current political fate. His collateral objectivity should inspire us more to inquire about our roles as we help sought course for our second or ¡probably¢ third time national unity strategy.

Many still revere the memory of last year¢s general elections and the ethnic species of subsequent violent elections since the year 2002. I remember asking myself, ¡what if Kibaki refuses to concede defeat?

Though many Kenyans have great and well-hypothesized ideas, creativity and glowing imagination all Kenyans including Kibaki and Raila would, with limited options, do all it takes to make the nation stand as one.

Thus, the Kriegler Commission would never risk to bringing Kenya where it was then, around February and March. In fact what Kenyans and its leaders yearn as history is to literally ¡forget¢ the painful and deadly encounters that we had, at the same time use the ¡aftermath¢ as lesson for ethno-national amalgamation and political strength when it comes to leadership. All Kenyans would still stand by the arrangement facilitated by Kofi Annan and the recently amended constitution for the life of the coalition government that seems promising. Any secret deals would hold so long as we accept to live as one nation no matter our affiliate differences including ethno-party and political.

Subsequently, Raila as an independent ¡political facilitator¢ lost his more local opposition badge he wore prior to the elections the time he joined government and became the nation¢s second Prime Minister. He has limited choice in the eyes of the International Community, that now have massive trust in him, to act as future ethnic or political party leader. Raila¢s political mutation has since gone beyond our borders even as he identifies with ODM and local politics that brought him to where he is now.

On the flip side though, President Kibaki proved a ¡tamed opportunist¢ of those who voted for him. Former President Moi¢s ¢strategies¢ and leadership adjustments helped place Kibaki where he is now. The idea of Kibaki sticking to power seemed ¡foreign¢ even as he knew that all was not well. He is keen to leave behind a memorable legacy this time round, different from what previous presidents have left. He would rather retire come 2012 than to ¡regurgitate¢ the aftermath of the 2007 elections that has his political connotation, ilk, name, shadow and ¡blood¢.

At least the real Kibaki and Raila have since stood up for the sake of the nation and proved to be a leader even with the challenges of the post-election aftermath that many of us are still facing. Many call this a national breather and hope for days to come with or without Kibaki and Raila around. The Kreigler antidote and vaccine are but the best political medicine ever that Kenya and its people heartily desearve.
