Reasons Why I Will Never Vote For Raila to Be My President

I have been following the cord leader for quite sometimes now, and I have come to conclusion that he will tell you anything you want to hear just to get your vote.

He has no vision or intention of taking us anywhere. As you might have noted, his greatest aim is to get to power and to remove one or maybe two tribes from the power.

This is evident in the recent comments by one of his greatest supporter.

In 2013, like many of you, I entertained the thought of having the former PM as a president. However, during the presidential debate, I heard something that made me question his commitment to the republic.

During this period, the debate on Migingo was rife. Asked what he would do to resolve the issue. He confidently said he wouldn’t fight over a piece of ROCK!

An innocent comment/answer you would say, but to me I felt offended. People died trying to get the mbeberu out of that and other rocks around the country. Furthermore, Uganda values that rock more than the would-be Kenyan president.

I changed my mind, and of course, like many of you, the current president won my heart and my vote.

Then there was the issue with mungiki, after the group caused a lot of strife to the central Kenya residents, the former PM was too willing to talk and engage with them.

The same soft spot was exhibited towards the “Mombasa Si Kenya” movement. In fact, I thought if he became president, he would accept the cessation.

So by now we wouldn’t be having the Migingo and Mombasa, and of course central would be ruled by gangs.

His recent comments about the KDF in Somalia says a lot. The alshabaab were calling for our troops to leave Somalia. And so, the former PM joined them in calling for the same.

Since we all know the aim of the terrorist group is to take over NEP, then it would mean he would be much willing to discuss on how we can come up with an agreeable resolution. And probably he would say it’s another piece of desert, this time round.

We all know his level of confidence in the Kenyan government, institutions, as well as our ability to deal with our issues.


I mean, a simple accounting matter like the Eurobond, he would rather have “competent international” accounting firms do it for us. In my mind I am clear, voting raila as the president will be the end of Kenya as we know it.
