NOW THAT our 'honourable' MP's have bagged over Sh4 million in salary and allowances, they should seriously consider helping the internally displaced persons who are now being 'displaced' from the ASK Show Grounds countrywide by the government.
They can donate some amount of cash. Why not? The internally displaced find themselves in a hard rock over a flawed election system that is being hotly disputed. Is it true that some MP's rigged? Perhaps we just need a new general elections. How many will bother voting anyway?
Pessimists should now bury their heads in the sand. Annan will be in town in a matter of hours. 'Hana flu sasa'. Our friends from 'Costo' should give this dude a chance, au? However, 'Respectable' political analysts are quick to denounce his ability over the mediation talks.
In as much as Desmond Tutu and John Kufuor failed let alone having a head start, Annan should be given a chance at all costs, that includes any sanctions by the international community against the government and its representatives. The list should also include all protagonist against peace.
Our neighbours, the DRC govt will be signing a 'historic' peace deal on Tuesday with the rebels to end the biggest war after the WWII. The immediate ceasefire will include the immediate withdrawal of all rebel forces from North Kivu and resettlement of all displaced villagers.
The Congo conflict has cost 4.5 million lives in decades, a numerical sum surpassing any conflict in the post WWII. Should we get far.
Kofi Annan has the support of the international community, that has been made clear to all. Why then say he has no clout or lacks any biting mechanism? Try him.
We need not be an example of failed state, a failed democracy, a failed economy.
As a gesture of goodwill over the peaceful negotiations, ODM should now call-off present and future demonstrations while the government should now get resettlements for the displaced.
Annan holds the key to peaceful solutions and resolutions in this conflict.
Britain should speak out. Whom do they recognise?
