  The aggrieved Kenyan communities invested heavily in ODM because the party had offered to enact the Bomas Draft constitution clause to address the land, social and economical historical injustice through a form of federalism.

  The Christian Democratic Movement of Kenya (CDMK), therefore,  wish to urge the Rift Valley MPs to move a motion in parliament to have the said clause enacted in Parliament ASAP.

    The ODM must pressurized for the devolution of power to honor their election pledge to Kenyans http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcSw8j9YaWU

  It took the ODM and PNU MPs to push for grand coalition government to become a law  in less than fortnight, why not the Majimbo systems which is the only road map to peace in Kenya and equity in sharing the national resources, be given the same treatment by our legislators.

  Meanwhile, CDMK call upon the International Community to support the cause of devolution of power in Kenya to bring about check and balance, and further wipe out the corruption syndrome institutionalized in the Kenya through Central government systems since 1963.

  CDMK urge the Canadian, US and European Union to halt any aid to Kenya until the majimbo system is enacted in Kenya constitution to enable them directly inject development to regional governments for the speedily development and sustainability at the grassroots level.

  It is through Majimbo System that the Gikuyus tax payers and resident of Rift Valley and any tribe residing away from their ancetral homes shall be protected by the regional laws as it is the modern federal democracies in the world.

  Without Majimbo Systems all the funding and donation mark for Kenya by the International community will just end up in the corrupt politicians and the “old boys” corrupt civil servants bottomless pockets.

  The current Internal Displace Persons  (IDPs) crisis is flawed with high level of corruption masterminded by the Mt Kenya  Mafia government officials to fraudulently woo compensations from both Kenya government and the international community to their kinsmen.

  The PM Hon Raila, his Deputy PM Hon  Mudavadi and the Agriculture Minister Hon Rutu should not be blinded by the government portfolio which they got as result of their communities who were massacred by Kibaki government forces and mungiki militias.

  It is indeed shameful for these leaders to hurriedly accept to resettle fake IDPs and the Land grabbers while their own communities are still mourning their dead, living under inhuman  conditions either in IDPs camps or at their ancestral homes without shelter, food, water, medications and school. 

  What make Rift Valley and the Gikuyus so specials than the Kisiis, Massais, Luos, Kalenjins, Lughyas, Mjikenda, and those in Mt Elgon who are living under Military curfew and fear ? 

  Is this not a betrayal and form of grand marginalization by the government and the ODM Leaders to give priority to one ethnic group ? 

  The widows, widowers, orphans whose their parents, wives and husbands were brutally shot and died with government bullets lodged in their bodies in Rift Valley, Western, Coast, Nyanza, equally required compensation and reparation from the Kenya government and the International Community.

  It is awkward and unacceptable to deny the remaining Kenyan tribes equal justice.

  The regions which overwhelming voted for ODM-Majimbo system were targeted by the government excess security force and thus they were a direct victims of the government security brutal killings.

  The Kenya government and the International community must provide them with same opportunity to have their voices heard and to obtain, where appropriate, some form of compensations and reparation for their sufferings.

  It is this balance that the government agents perpetrators and retributive shall restorative justice to enable the Grand Coalition Government, not only to bring criminals to justice but also to help the victims themselves obtain justice.

  It is indeed unfortunate that the ODM leaders fought vigorously to have the Grand Coalition Cabinet slots, and there after they decide to play in the hands of President Kibaki and the Mt Kenya maneuvers who are out to divide ODM and split it across ethnic lines before 2012.

  While, the late President Moi strategy to unite the former MPs  and Kanu hardliners leaders across the Country through  his son Gideon Moi to weaken ODM in Rift Valley,  whereas the former Vice President Modi Awuor is rocking western province, as the Mt Kenya young Turks are busy planting seeds of discord in ODM young and inexperience  first timer parliamentarians in the name of Grand Opposition, to defeat or challenge ODM sponsored motions in Parliament.

  ODM must tread carefully to avoid mass defection and by-elections across the country to rob them the mandates in the grand coalition government.

  The former President Moi, President Kibaki and the Mt Kenya Mafias have enough resources to bring down the government before the Majimbo reforms is instituted into a law and throw ODM to the opposition bench before 2012.
