Kenyans are peace loving citizens. After the bloody 2006/2007 post-election violence, no one would definitely love to see a reoccurrence of the same.
Cord leader Raila Odinga leading in the anti-IEBC demos that later turned chaotic and saw innocent Kenyans get injuries may be just the start of his downfall!
He only portrayed himself and his ardent followers as being violent Kenyans which may not be the case.
One therefore wonders why a leader cannot lead a peaceful demonstration or seek dialogue to air their grievances. Kenyans want peace and therefore, any leader who cannot engage in peaceful negotiations tends to lose faith among Kenyans.
There are definitely better diplomatic ways to express our views and dissatisfaction and confrontation is not one of them.
One would ask if Raila leads chaotic demos while he is in the opposition, shall Kenya ever know peace if they vote him in? Enough for the demos.
But how about the Madaraka day celebrations arranged by Cord to happen in Uhuru park? And what about the clashing of the cord event with the church crusade in the same venue.
One only has too many unanswered questions ranging from how can the same venue be booked by two groups at the same time to how incompetent the Nairobi county officials are that they can make such a mess.
While the Cord leaders insist that they will still hold their meetings there, it's only unfair for the church that already booked and paid for that venue earlier than them.
This is just another thing portraying Cord leaders as people who always use forceful means to have their way.
Don't we always say "first come, first served?" It's time Cord leaders embraced peaceful and diplomatic mechanisms to have their way.
Otherwise, the forceful means may rob them some votes that could probably lead them to power in 2017.
