Vote for “Reformer Raila” at your own peril


Insincere reformer
The recent launch of the book “Peeling Back the Mask” by Miguna Miguna, Raila former aide has acted as an eye opener to the reform, reformer and reformist crusade in Kenya. The revelations put across by Miguna are chilling and the extent of corruption is releasing a stinking bad odour in the economic and societal atmosphere.
Having being able to read some sections of the book more specifically the chapter on “Instant Billionaires” my personal opinion and judgment is that indeed Raila let and allowed corruption to perpetrate under his watch and support. As a true and passionate reformer that Raila brands himself to be, he should have taken decisive actions and measures to see that nothing close to corruption or any evil of governance is near him. From this Raila has failed and failed completely to fight that which he has been “advocating” for and making noise about. Raila reforms credentials are wanting in the sense that he is and was unable to reprimand corrupt officials, non-reformists tendencies and individuals in his office, family and relatives.
2013 General Elections especially Presidential is foreseen to be between reformers against non-reformers. Raila presidential candidacy on reform card will be a total lie to the nation. I do not know who will win the presidency, but we Kenyan voters have an opportunity to choose who deserves and has the best interest of this country regarding reform agenda. The full implementation of the Constitution requires honest and passionate leadership through coordination from various institutions and only true reformers shall be able to deliver. Time has now come for real and true reformers to stand up and be elected.

WHAT DO YOU WANT IN LIFE?

A story is told of a tourist who docked his boat in a tiny African village coastline. The tourist complimented the African fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them. “Not very long,” answered the fisherman. “But then, why didn’t you stay out longer and catch more?” asked the tourist. The fisherman explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family. The tourist asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"  The fisherman answered, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife.  In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs.  I have a full life."  The tourist interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you!  You should start by fishing longer every day.  You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger bo...

All hail the politician

Politics is a science and also an art. All the people involved in it are to understand the fundamentals within it. In Kenya, former President Moi used to say “Siasa mbaya, maisha mbaya” whereby bad politics leads to bad life. Unlike in business where what matters most is the bottom line that is are you making profits or loss; politics is about service that is the aspect of human contact. Business you make decisions in politics you make the right decisions but have to bring people along to believe in your decisions that you are proposing. Quoting Simon Thompson, Lastminute.com Chief Marketing Officer, he says “Leadership is about people. Management is about output. You will be respected based on successful leadership, you will be promoted based on successful management.” Former US Secretary of State Colin Powell says about leadership as the art of accomplishing more than what the science of management says is possible. In leadership what needs to be understood is that there are goi...
