First I want to congratulate Ruto and his deputy and wish them the best as they govern. I respect the decision of the majority however small the difference was.
Do I feel sad? yes of course. But the sadness of losing an election won’t last for long. We’ve been here before. 2017 we lost and we moved on fast. 2013 under Uhuru we won the elections, but the celebration mood was over within no time.
That is my political concession speech. Azimio has lost. To Azimio supporters, chin up.
My next concession speech is on integrity. This one is the one that will hurt longest. Why don’t our youths have jobs? Why are public services (health, education, water, transport)- collapsing? Why is manufacturing almost collapsing? The answer to all these questions is corruption
Personally, I believe the biggest impediment for Kenya growing economically is corruption and the Raila/Karua ticket presented the better (not the best) opportunity for us to correct this. Once matters to do with integrity are solved, the economy will sort itself out.
A story is told that when the baboons and the monkeys heard the man that who used to chase them away from the maize field had died, they celebrated hysterically. The next year there was no maize in the farm. That’s when they realised the dead man was the farmer.
And that’s my concession speech on integrity. Kenya has lost! Lose integrity, lose economy.
And in the famous last words for Boris Johnson, hasta la vista. BABY!
