He he he. 2007 couldn't have ended better. I'm so happy. Nay, jubilant. Kibaki took Kenyans for a ride, a long ride
. And the jokers we elected to represent us in parliament got what they deserved.
I don't blog politics but there is no way I'm going to let this pass. Kenyans have done us proud once again. The failure of the ninth parliament, the constitutional fiasco and the never ending corruption in the face of wide spread poverty across the country.
Kazi iendelee. My foot! What kazi? We have poor road networks, free education in crumbling and dilapidated schools, high inflation, endemic corruption, and on and on.
My prayer is that Raila will choose his team wisely. With a parliamentary majority there will be no need to compromise with thieving leaders. What's more, there will be no more tribal chieftains to hold him at ransom.
With that, I would like to congratulate Raila Odinga and pledge my allegiance to the new president of the Republic of Kenya.
Happy new year to all Kenyans.
God bless Kenya.

ODM's Raila Odinga is the MP-elect for Langata constituency and seemingly headed straight to the presidency of Kenya.
Here are some shots i took yesterday at a few polling stations around Eldoret.It was so hot, but people braved the heat and queued in order to vote. By and large it went smoothly in some stations, though in the hospital ward, it was quite inefficient with lines snaking around the corner. There was alittle tear gas in the air from fracas on the previous day but people still soldiered on.
I am a bit bleary eyed as we were camped around the radio after the fuel for the generator ran out. Cant do live updates, been checking

Twittered the elections a little and will add more periodically during the day

Btw - Nicholas Biwott is out in Kerio south
- Peris Chepchumba elected as MP Eldoret South despite intimidation and insults from men
Other women in Rift Valley made it through and might constitute a chunk of women MPs in the next parliament.
