Kenya and African Democracy

It will take a long time for develop African democracy; I am saying African democracy since democracy does not mean western democracy. Africa should ponder deeply and critically on the direction or how to grow a more sustainable democracy in Africa. Democracy that reflects Africa's histories, experiences, cultural traditions and norms.

The problem with the African democracy is a Sycophant like Maina Kiai who is an opportunist at any cost. For the people who followed the Kenyan campaign, we saw Mr. Kiai’s hidden agenda all the way. Was Mr. Kiai promised something by the opposition or the west since west wanted Opposition to win? This is a man who claims to be holly since he is a kikuyu and think people will listen to him because of that. Please Mr. Kiai, state your agenda since we do not believe you. Let’s hear what you know about rigging or shut the f--- up!!!
Peoples lives were lost, property damaged, children burned in church and all Maina Kiai can think about is about “rigged” election and what can make him famous. Your ten minutes of fame is up and shame on you. What a shame to the African decency and democracy to call you a human advocacy.
This man was against the government since the start of campaign. To divide Africa and conquer the colonial government used people like Kiai to plant seed of abhorrence which are being harvested today. The murderers of innocent people are using Maina Kiai to cover up. There are some questions that Kiai as he claims to be ‘human right advocate” should be asking. Who financed the killing in the rift valley? Who did the killing and under whose directions? We know there was ethnic cleansing against kikuyus; there were murders, rapes, and expulsions of kikuyu’s. Kiai as a humanitarian should be asking if the murders, arrests, rapes, and expulsions of Kenyan citizens were a matter of cleansing and again who sponsored them. We know some of the sponsors are going to be in the next government and we want them exposed and prosecuted in Hague for the crime against the humanity.
These are a very serious time; we need serious people if we are going to define our destiny and “African” democracy that caters for all people. We need to remove a person who creates ten minute fame without regard to who it hurts like Mr. Kiai. Mr. Kiai should be preparing a case in Hague right now against the murderer of the” burned forest” church and their master. We cannot sleep until these people are caught and brought to court of law. The spirits of these people demand and deserve to heard.
