Koigi's take...

Whatever uhuru wants will prevail. I will never waste my time and make my finger dirty again voting for men with no integrity, and whose outcome is already predetermined. And you Ruto supporters bonobos, know that your time will come. Youŕ votes never propelled Uhuru to power, same way your votes won't matter either.

If this was true then I claim that Bondo express inenda engine overhaul coz the driver anachezewa ile three card pata potea ya @Meria
Which would be Machiavellian given the coziness someone is enjoying with unlimited access to the house on the hill. Hawa 'vijana' are merciless...
 
Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto should be barred from holding any public office, we should go a step farther and bar.them from participating in politics, we cannot afford another decade, nay, half a decade of their thieving, wasteful tendencies. Wote wakwende!

Na watu wapatie huyo mzee heshima ata kama you do not agree with him, if guys like Koigi hadnt taken on Moi we would probably still live in fear of detention without trial, to think that he was in a dark cell for more than one year and his mother and other women had to brave the cold, teargas, beatings, manhandling from cops, and nearly a year camped at All Saints Cathedral protesting their detention, we need to celebrate people like him more .

On Ruto's ascending to power.

Though I’m Kikuyu, I Won’t Vote To Give Ruto 20 Years In Power

Some people say every Kikuyu man and woman will spontaneously elect Ruto as the next president come the year 2022.

But this is an open falsehood. Though I am a Kikuyu, I will not automatically vote for William Ruto or anyone else to be Kenya’s next president when the next elections come.

Not Fit -But while Ruto wants every Kikuyu to vote for him because he or she is Kikuyu, just as he wants every Kalenjin to vote for him because he is Kalenjin, I will not deny William Ruto a vote because he is Kalenjin and not Kikuyu like me. Nor will I vote for anybody merely because they are Kikuyu. I will only deny Ruto a vote because he is not fit to be president of Kenya for the following ten reasons.

Integrity -First, the next president Kenya must be a president who is totally committed to the elimination of corruption and negative ethnicity. But from his history, William Ruto is not a leader of integrity and cannot be relied upon to develop Kenya by eradicating corruption.

Not a Patriot -Second, from my knowledge, Ruto is not a patriot or a nationalist capable of sacrificing his personal interests to save the country from any danger or tragedy like a dictatorship. For me, the only reason Ruto pursues leadership is wealth and power. As a youth, Ruto therefore never did anything to save Kenya from a one-party dictatorship.

Democracy -Three, despite public pronouncement, Ruto never fought for democracy and will not protect democracy as a president because, philosophically, he does not believe in democracy. Instead, he believes in dictatorship and therefore fights to protect dictatorship as he did when he was in the YK 92. How can I who has been a victim of dictatorship vote for Ruto who believes in tyranny?

Four, Ruto wants me to vote for him, not because he qualifies to be president who will protect my freedom and improve my life, but only because I am a Kikuyu and he is a Kalenjin and the two communities are in a political coalition, not for the good of the two communities but aggrandizement of their leaders and economic elites. This to me is no reason to vote for Ruto.

Fear-mongering -Five, Ruto would also want me to vote for him, not because he qualifies to be president, but because he voted for Uhuru as president and every Kikuyu, therefore, owes him a debt of gratitude for which he or she must pay or be shown the door out of Rift Valley.

Debts -Six, though Kikuyu, I don’t owe Ruto a debt. I could only have a debt of Ruto, if Ruto had ever voted for me or ever gave me anything and cannot be forced to vote for Ruto. Nor can I be forced to vote for Ruto because I live in Rift Valley which is an integral part of Kenya. As it is, Ruto and Uhuru have never voted for me. And nor have they done anything for me. Instead of Kikuyus owing Ruto a debt, it is Ruto who owes Kikuyus a debt.

Amassing spree -Seven, had UhuRuto government transformed Kenya economically in the last 5 years Uhuru and Ruto have been in power, I could have an excuse to vote for Ruto. Right now when I look around, I see no transformation for which I can vote for Ruto. The only transformation I see is Ruto’s personal transformation and enrichment. We have had so many strikes starting from Doctors to lecturers but he only thinks of how he will own everything in the country. He has never raised an issue to benefit an ordinary Kenyan as he moves around the country to meet his own heart desires. Should I, therefore, vote for Ruto’s further personal transformation instead of trying someone who can transform Kenya?

Eight, for Kenyans, to give William Ruto not just 10 years of vice-presidency but another 10 years of presidency, he and Uhuru need to have done so wonderfully that Kenya would have achieved half of Singapore’s development which we can expect him to complete if we give him 10 years of presidency. As it is, it would be suicidal and crazy if Kenyans were to give Ruto 20 years of power, almost the same time Moi lasted in power.

Nine, not even Ruto’s background as a hustler should persuade the so-called hustler nation or poor people to vote for him. Ruto is no longer a hustler or poor person. If anything he is already a trillionaire or double trillionaire who like other rich people thrives on exploiting poor people.

Ten, even Ruto’s early campaign for the presidency using government projects should not persuade any Kenyan to vote for him. And he is especially disqualified for the presidency because he is blamed for rigging so many people in the last election to create a political network that will ensure he is voted for presidency come 2022.

Why can't people point out which part of Koigi's piece is false?

Muthee, maintaining the status quo is not the answer to our problems, even though changing to the other guy isn't any better. Guys like you who've been around for a while should be helping those behind you find a better opti...wait, I forgot that you dance to the tune of your piper. Cheques and group interests don't necessarily go together.

Pardon me, it was a bright Sunday, I let a bit of optimism get to me! Phew, that was close!!

Are those writing the dynasties lyrics not in the same position that you're in? Maximum effort for the status quo on your part but 'wax in the ears of Kenyans' when whispering better alternatives.

This is exactly my point. As long as the cheque is good enough, you'll write lyrics better than R Kelly regardless of the 'client'.

That's why I am saying the experience you've gained as a senior citizen is lost on the youth, contrary to nature, because you will sway the group to the side your pocket lies on.

Siwezi kulaumu kula pia. All I'm saying is there's no moral authority you hold here, which is the soapbox that Koigi is trying to stand on.
