I have been trying to avoid this topic but after that post by Babu Owino, I am unable to keep quiet. This thing of accusing Uhuru Kenyatta of conmanship is becoming increasingly irritating. This man gave his best to the Azimio campaign. Under very challenging circumstance in his own backyard, he made very personal sacrifices and delivered to H.E Raila Odinga almost 1 million votes from Mt. Kenya, without even counting GEMA people in diaspora counties who also gave us their votes. This was unprecedented because Raila has previously received less than 200,000 votes in these areas. What he got in Mt. Kenya this time was more than half of what he got in Luo Nyanza.
There are also significant number of votes in swing counties especially in N.E which Raila got courtesy of Uhuru. Let us also not forget that Kalonzo had totally refused to join Azimio until Uhuru stepped in as the guaranter.
Under Uhuru’s leadership, some of us joined the campaign, worked tirelessly and passionately to deliver for Baba. People like CSs Munya and Yatani were asked to defer their gubernatorial ambitions, so that they could work on consolidating their counties for Baba.Now, if you want us to start blame and accusation games, we can also accuse those insulting Uhuru from the ODM side of not being serious with giving Baba a win. We can tell them that as they point one finger at us, 4 fingers are pointing at them. Had Nyanza achieved an 80% turn out, the 200k votes in contention would not be a discussion right now.
The most important legacy of any Head of State is a peaceful handover. H.E Uhuru Kenyatta places the peace and stability of this country above everything else. It is for this reason that he has hosted the incoming president in statehouse today, and it is for the same reason that he will go to Kasarani tomorrow and hand over the mantle of leadership to his successor William Ruto; that is what a statesman does. We committed to respect the decision of the Supreme Court whether we agreed with it or not. It is now time to heal and move on. It is time to place country above self no matter how we feel about the turn of events.
