Who doesn't know that this country is deeply divided? Going on with the election today is only making matters worse. A huge section of this country will be feeling like a woman scorned.
Jubilee apologists have reduced the issues however to a Luo resistance.
October 26th will prove whether this is true or false. The voter turnout will speak that the issues this country faces go beyond an individual or a community.
The run-up to this election has seen lives lost. Snuffed out by a govt that is bent on retaining power at ALL costs. This has only heightened the grievances. If this election was about the Luo community, then Jubilee has just enabled them to get more sympathy from other communities.
Jubilee has given ammunition to the resistance NASA is claiming to birth which in actual, sense has been birthed by Jubilee.
The desperate attacks on the Judiciary, the resignation of Akombe, the rantings of Chebukati and Akombe, the siege of IEBC, Wanjigi, the quorum hitch, the police killings, The Nairobi Business Community, the Nairobi Spiritual Community, Kumira Kumira, Mungiki resurgence are all doing the mobilisation needed for this resistance.
If Jubilee had the chance to cut some quick deal with RAO by sending billions into his account, that chance is now gone. Not even RAO or other NASA principal can calm the emotions that are now running at an all-time high. Only a real solution can.
To Jubilee, your greatest mistake was not in underestimating Raila Odinga but in letting this stalemate go on for too long! The long stalemate has led you to make dangerous moves with Kumira Kumira being the most desperate one.
