It appears the international community is pushing Kenya into a vague power sharing arrangements whose structures are not yet clear until after Kofi Anan will have announced the breaking news. Many questions beg answers: 
Why did Kenyans go to the polls in Dec 2007?
Why did the 4 million plus Kenyans vote ODM and NOT PNU?
What were their expectations for the future? and
What kind of report card had they given to Kibaki after his 5 year term?
 
These questions beg answers before many ODM supporters are dragged into, or convinced about the so called power sharing arrangements. Remember Kenyans were widely agreed that Kibaki had reneged in some of his core campaign pledges in 2001, including war on corruption, tribalism, and constitutional review.
 
Nearly all Kenyans who voted ODM wanted change different from what Kibaki had offered during 2002-2007, and what he was promising to offer if elected thereafter. By ODM accepting to share power with Kibaki after his badly tainted record, the message we are sending out to voters in future is that the worst that can happen to you if you rig elections is to share the power with the genuine winners; that it does not matter going to vote as power can be negotiated and shared in the boardrooms; that future unpopular leaders can successfully cling to power through such boardroom manouvres. This power sharing thing is a sure way to kill democracy, subvert will of the people and cause rampant voter apathy in future.
 
The whole world is agreed that Kibaki rigged the 2007 elections; several lives have been lost, innocent blood spilt, property destroyed/stolen, and person hours wasted. Were all these in vain? Were they necessary if it is power sharing with Kibaki that ODM wanted? Won’t ODM get smeared by the evils of an illegitimate government? Won’t this depict them as cry babies who have been appeased by a piece of the cake?
 
ODM will lose a lot of faith by agreeing to participate in a Kibaki headed power sharing arrangement, where nothing will move, and where incessant wrangles and disagreement over almost everything will be the order of the day, UNLESS THEY HAVE OTHER MAGICAL TACTICS. Remember Kibaki and PNU have nothing to lose after an image dented with corruption, intransigence, tribalism, concubancy, wife battering and election rigging
 
I would rather ODM reject that power sharing arrangement and continue the “good fight” from outside, than betray their supporters by agreeing to share what is rightfully theirs with a thief. If they go ahead with power sharing arrangements that do not carry with it the blessings, understanding and support of the majority of the party supporters, then ODM supporters across the country will do a quick audit, regroup and withdraw their support (THIS FOR REAL) to all members of the Pentagon and others who are directly associated with the negotiations.RAILA AND PENTAGON MUST NOT BACK DOWN; VICTORY WAS FOR ODM. The only arrangement that appears plausible is to form a transitional government headed by neither Kibaki nor Raila, for say, 1 year, and then we go back to general elections, or presidential re-run.
