  America Votes

   » ‎ Kenya Imagine

  Tags:  US election 2008  

  It is the fourth of November, the Tuesday after the first Monday of November. America votes today, and the world watches.
  

  We ran a similar programme when Kenya voted at the end of last year, and we can only hope the Americans enjoy a post-election period more peaceful than ours.

  Whatever. I liked this, do you? How far can you get before capitus explodit, or whatever. Pity we haven't Latin or even Arabic to occupy our mostly idle Kenyan pupils, eh? They are knitting and making stool stools instead.

  Nekessa Opoti:
  What began as peaceful protests in St. Paul, Minnesota today ended in the arrests of close to 150 people.

  Many of the protesters were anti-war activists. Some had been preparing for at least a year to protest the Republican National Convention (RNC). Others just showed up today. At least 10,000 people, from Minnesota and the rest of the US, showed up on the streets of downtown St. Paul.

  Looking into the future

   » ‎ Kenya Imagine

  Tags:  cabinet 2008  

  President Kibaki has now named what is being reported as half his cabinet. It appears, with the killing now stopped that the politicians have turned their efforts into what is a game of political chess.
  
  It was with sheer disbelief that I reacted when I first heard the announcement. It became clear that instead of slamming the door shut in the ODM's face, the national leader has his foe Raila Odinga exactly where he wants him.

  Tags:  election 2008  

  Mwangi Muiruri assesses "undue" criticism on presidential candidate Raila Odinga. He says ODM-K, while with a large following, is headed the wrong direction with the wrangles for power at the top.
  
  

  When the chips are finally down, ODM-K may go into the annals of history as the party with had the largest following, but squandered its huge advantage and lost a general election it. True, the referendum may have been a different ball game, but there is no denying that the momentum it initially gave ODM-K, has for most of the year simply been unassailable.
