Efforts at Peace Building in Kenya has suffered severe threats from the new found friendship between Hon Uhuru Kenyatta and Hon William Ruto and their political friends in the recent past..
As Kenyans working with others in Peace Building efforts across the Country, we must point these issues factually without fear or favour, but for the good of Kenya and the Kenyan people.
First, it is a fact that Hon Kenyatta, Hon Ruto, Mzee Francis Muthauara and Mr. Joshua arap Sang have been indicted by the International Criminal Court at the Hague and sufficient evidence to stand trial against them established. This makes them Prime Suspects for abetting the Post Election Violence that saw Kenya almost tipple down the precipice.
They are only suspects. Time will surely prove their innocence or guilt and this, only the ICC will confirm. Not the people of Kenya.
Now, they have rallied together to threaten the peace of Kenyans once more and the results can be very devastating. Almost 5,000 Kenyans died as a result of the Post Election Violence, forget the small convenient figures of 1,133 that we have been saddled with. As many as 500,000 Kenyans were displaced and many Kenyans lost property.
This is a fact many Kenyans would not like to see happen again. But with the acrimonious political posturing from Uhuru, Ruto and their sidekicks, we are most likely to see the worst. These people are inciting Kenyans against each other, and when we will be fighting, they will be fighting for war contracts. They will gain at the expense of our loss.
We all know how the ICC came about. His Excellency the President and the Rt Hon Prime Minister attempted to move our Members of Parliament to help establish an International Tribunal to listen to the cases here in Nairobi. At that time. we all saw the spirited attempt to scuttle this noble effort with Hon Ruto even boasting in public that the ICC cases will take 90 Years, and within that time, they shall have been long dead.
This was a very serious statement. It bordered on impunity; tume fanya na mta do?
We are seeing the same bravado being exhibited now, with these so called peace rallies where the subject of attack is one Raila Amolo Odinga, and no efforts are being made to unite Kenyans.
The question that begs then is; Who is this person who has given these suspects the authority to criss-cross the country pretending to be preaching peace while, their main mission is to preach hated and strife?
Who in his right senses can allow people who have been indicted with serious charges of crimes against humanity to criss-cross the country preaching hatred?
Kenyans must call this open bluff and see the person for whom this pair is working for.
Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto, being international suspects for crimes against humanity cannot hold political rallies to malign Raila Amolo Odinga without the express support and authority from the highest seat of the land. And if they had no such authority and support, the President could have stepped forward to reprimand them on the tone of their speaches.
Some of us are left to wonder why the President has allowed this pair to box him so awkwardly in the eyes of the world. The world is now convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that it is President Kibaki that is behind the political bravado this pair is exhibiting.
President Kibaki, being the ultimate authority that has sworn to defend and protect the Kenyan Constitution must uphold the rule of law and stop this pair from tearing the country apart.
What would happen if Hon Raila also mobilized his team to counter the reckless and baseless accusations coming from the Uhuru/Ruto axis? Will we have a country to govern? Will we leave in peace as Kenyans, as brothers and sisters?
No. The die is cast and the bark ends at the Presidency.
He is the power behind the new found political friendship of convenience between Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto. Someone must tell His Excellency the President that Kenya has a population of close to 40m and we all look to him for leadership.
Someone must also tell Judge Ekaterina Trendafilova- sp- to promptly issue a warrant of arrest for Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta and Mr. William Ruto. They are becoming a threat to the peaceful co-existence of the people of Kenya.

all these you have written makes a lot of sense , but politics is politics and raila wateloo has come. ruto amd uhuru and mudavadi will roast raila dry, this time its gonna be diffrent. we know who asked for mass action and he is not in ocampo list. worst is that ruto and uhuru will put sand in railas ugali such that he wont eat it also. they are wounded and energised and rather than they get roasted diffrently, they have joined to die together , the euro guys are sick with raila like they got sick with gadaffi and musharaff and when they are fed up with you they drop you like hot potato and koffi annan wants mudavadi and these end the raila dynasty, you should only be happy it has lasted that long brother so watch these space and the unfolding scenario of mudavadi and keep updating me if any thing i have told you is untrue
What i have studied from kenyans is that what koffee annan and his team did,to some. it ment nothing. so what i feel like any other kenyan these particular people for the sake of experience and universal understanding they should have been part of the victims to feel what the victims of pev are undergoing sincer to them it is personal selfish interest against the public.
Willie, you should be very current with your political dreams about Kenya. Kenyans are just waiting for election to show the world how to elect true leaders not political
turncoarts. Take it from real kenyans,the day of electing political conmen is over.
Kenyans are ready to elect leaders who are ready to implement the new constitution to the letter . These are leaders who toiled very much to bring democratic policies in the country . The stata quo politicians will stand no chance at all.
The decision of electing true leaders rests with kenyans not Annan or Europe. There fore,Willie,you should stop politics of personality and start the one which
based on issues.
