It is unfortunate that west have demonized the African democracy so successfully. What is even more poignant is that African themselves also have now joined their former master in doing so, case in point Maina Kiai. Elections are always stolen even in the so called developed countries and case in point USA where Al Gore was rigged out, I guess democratically. I do not think there is perfect election, since the entire politicians are alike in my view. Now the question is: why is that there is always complain from the west in every African election that is, when their puppet loses? In case of Mugabe, Kibaki, Museveni? And why Mugabe when we have, Tanzania and Egypt one party system that are Unchallengeable and in Togo where there have been no challenge for 30 years.
Is this because there is so much to lose for the west self interest in Kenya and Zimbabwe? Why was there no cry when Musevani changed the constitution so he can stay in power? Why are darker people being killed in thousand in Darfur every day? While west is aware of these tragedies unfolding in Togo and Sierra Leone it is a shocking fact that there has been no cry from the west as in Kenya and that of Zimbabwe. Could all this outrage be racist drivel marshaled and sponsored by imperial media houses or it is genuine collective moral outrage aimed at forestalling the west self interest and thus halting the Chinese penetration especially in Kenya?
The Kenyan election was a very bad African precedence, Instead of moving forward whom I think Africa was, the west notarized violence in Kenya, and rewarded the killers. Africa moved backward which was the goal of the west. By serving their self interest, west throw the first stone in killing African democracy and rule of law. No party from today onward will ever accept defeat. There will be killing in every African election as the west has planned. When bunch of thugs and terrorist kills human being and destroy personal properties while the west stood and cheered on the side line and thereafter demand the same people to share power, this is a bad and gloomier day for African and human being. This is democracy at its worst!!! The peace loving world cannot just seat and reward these people, the whole opposition need to stand trial in Hague. We cannot let violence win….and yet west demand the same people to be part of democracy. What kind a democracy is this, killing women and children, is what we reward for?
When a president kibaki help the economy grow by 7% reduce the poverty, create over 500,000 jobs, rehabilitee the infrastructure and when Mugabe redistribute the land that was stolen by the white amongst the black majority then these presidents Kibaki and Mugabe are genuine African patriot who are being sacrificed by the powerful and racist Western world for doing the right.

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.
