To use what is Kalonzo? as a question is gramatically backward and awkward but that is just the question many Kenyans should ask if they haven’t. To answer this question, Kalonzo used to be somebody in Kenyan politics but he sold his birthright for a vice presidential position. For everyone’s information, Mudavadi tried it and it took him five years back.

Kalonzo is done. The goodwill is over. He will have to prove himself. Again what is Kalonzo. Can he prove himself to me as a Kenyan voter.

Yes politicians and especially Kenyan politicians are mostly self serving and unprincipled. But yes Kalonzo is the leader of the pack of these kind of wishy washy rulers (not leaders). A spineless guy who is opportunistic and selfish to the bone. He will never be a statesman, its not in him and politically I hope Kenyans are smart enough to end the run of these kinds of Kalonzos, Saitotis and Biwotts forever.

Wakenya,

Campaigns are over. We rallied behind our choices and they were elected or they lost. Some of us called for the slaughter of those who did not belong to the “politically correct” tribes. We wanted to destroy our country over politicians! We have been given a second chance to live in peace but we are working hard to go back to chaos.

In my opinion, politicians are like donkeys. They can be useful if we want to or we can feed them and receive kicks in return. I decided break my long silence after reading the words below.

Kalonzo -or any politician- has no birthright to be a leader or so support another leader. A politician’s core business goal is to be elected and climb the ladder as high as it is politically possible and at whatever cost (at your cost of course). Kalonzo is no different. Neither is Raila or Kibaki.

When some youths were destroying property and killing innocent Kenyans while chanting “No ___ No Kenya! No ____ No education! No ____ No peace! No ___ no Rail:” the politician in the blanks did not come out and say Kenya was bigger than him. He instead wished for more destruction to “teach ____ a lesson.” Fill the blanks with any politician and the result will be the same. In short politicians are self interested.

Thousands of Kenyans are homeless; Kenya is facing starvation; and more people are sliding into poverty. Interesting enough, within the last 4 months politicians have awarded themselves huge pensions and crafted a monster government that they tell us is for our own good. In this mess we have time to debate who is who in the chain of command! Don’t we have better thing to do?

I think Kenya needs celebrities who worship and start holding politicians accountable. As it is today, politicians are celebrities. They are like football players (no wonder they use that analogy.) We cheer them like teams. The decide what we should think and when. What we should do and when. That is why we are more concerned about the seeding of our political players more than the atrocities they are committing on the masses!

I penned this http://www.eastandard.net/archives/cl/print/news.php?articleid=30706 a few years ago. The situation has not changed.

When will we stop this nonsense and hold the politicians accountable?
