Kenya: I yearn for Raila’s Presidency

From: JOSEPH NYONGESA

Yeah, l too thirsty for his leadership if he will make it. I do hope the torture good people went through will not be wasted. And those who seem to oppose this reform through constitution (Koigi excepted) have not suffered inhuman acts those who began this fight. I pray this man Raila takes the mantle of our beautiful country one day.

For along time I have seen the reform battle being fought, I have also seen men stand firm or succumb to the forces against reform. One of the most admirable characters who has stood firm in this fight is The Prime Minister, Raila Amollo Odinga.

The fight for reforms is not something new to Kenya, when Jaramogi fell a part with Mzee Jomo Kenyatta in 1966 (we all know why), the seed for reforms was planted. Capable individuals such as Bildada Kagia, Gama Pinto, J. M Kariuki, and many others fought the fight and dared challenge the status quo, their dream and courage has kept the fire burning. After 1982 attempted coup, Raila and Many others carried the fight for reforms, some of whom were later detained without trial. Moi’s Era was a nightmare for reformists and many suffered.

Despite all the intimidation, Raila has stood firm in his quest to liberate Kenyans. It is this quality in him that makes me to imagine how beautiful his presidency will be. I believe it will be a presidency full of equity and fairness in resource distribution, it will be a presidency under the pillars of truth, justice and accountability. In this presidency, corruption will be called a thing of the past. It is time for a green revolution in Kenya!

Oooh.. How I long for Raila’s Presidency!
