WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE!, OF UHURUTO ALLAINCE



I was watching a documentary on how crocodiles feed and  they do that  by opening their mouths for a long time and allowing all manner of non-suspecting insects to be attracted by the foul smell to settle in their mouths then they violently shut their mouth and feed on their prey. This analogy made me think of Uhuru and Ruto because this is exactly what they are doing .They have had their mouths wide open since they made that journey from the Hague and will soon shut their big foul mouths and consume us all. I am shocked at how the fate of 40m people can literally hang on the backs of two crimes against humanity suspects.It is so ironical that only yesterday an impeccable Kenyan by the name of PK he of tunawesmake fame offered himself for the leadership of this country but alas our tribal nature will hear none of it.


It is time Kenyans did some serious soul searching and ask themselves some very pertinent questions. First is as to whether we really want to turn our country in to a pariah state like Sudan or Somalia. We must remember that by electing these two ICC suspects as president and deputy we will become isolated in this ever shrinking global village. Many have been deluded to think that Kenya can look east and forget the west but a critical look at this fallacy will paint a very negative picture if we were to dismember relations with the west. Let us look at a few myths about the so called China influence , first of all how much  Kenyan goods do the Chinese actually buy compared to the west? ,secondly how many Chinese tourists visit Kenya compared to the western ones? and lastly how many Kenyans live freely in china and have been accepted as dual citizens in there compared to the west?. China has in the recent past demonstrated itself to be a major economic force but devoid of counterfeit products, economic espionage and currency manipulation its economy will collapse. Ask your self who is the number one consumer of Chinese goods in the world? ,which companies and corporations moved there for cheap labor and other strategic reasons? ,who’s population is uncontrollable that they have to send their citizens to Africa to roast maize and do manual labor?

America has been through some difficult times yes and they have realized that bringing back jobs to their shores is healthier for their economy and so is buying made in America ,these type of policies will soon slow china's growth  and the Chinese must always  remember  that there is cheap labor across the US border in south American countries ,on this front immigration issues will be buffered and so will the cost of production. China may be flourishing economically but poverty and low living standards is still the norm, democracy and human rights are still at an all time low, is this the big brother we should emulate, where dictators do as they please trampling on human rights as if there are no laws? ,I do not think so. Chinese international policy is see no evil , hear no evil ,say no evil ,so even if our elected leaders decide to eat babies for breakfast China will feel no obligation to speak for the vulnerable besides its might ,to me that is the height of cowardice.

In a nutshell, we can not have a president and his deputy who are  suspects of crimes against humanity .The judiciary should call their bluff by barring them from running for office and let the clean candidates compete fairly and may the best man or woman win. Alternatively in the event that the Kenyan courts decide otherwise then let us send a very clear message to William Ruto and Uhuru Kenyatta that we are not pawns in their defense strategy for their cases at the Hague. Kenya is bigger than two men who are drank on power and hubris, God help Kenya!
