Fellas! Please tone it down. May peace prevail in this village. At the end of the day, these politicians eat at the same table while accounting for their loot…Be wise!!!
I think we are misinterprataing the poll results and drawing wrong conclusions. The question is to ask is are CORD supporters majority people of lower financial status in society. Think about something Jubilee supporters are Central Kenya and Rift Valley strongholds. Two regions that were financially and economically supported by all three Political regimes in the last 50 years. CORD supporters are heavily Nyanza, Western, North Eastern, etc regions that were intentionally neglected by the political regimes for dissenting to the then leadership. Some of the poorest regions in Kenya are actually in this regions. Just travel one day to places in Western and Nyanza reserves and mingle with the people in the local villages and see for yourself. Ask them how many meals they have in a day and if so what they eat ins spite of the regions being blessed agriculturally.
North eastern is mixed. To be honest Nyanza has plenty of rain and rivers. Maybe a different mindset and support by government needed than simply attributing everything to laziness. I mean Nyanza is large and not everyone can fish. In fact very few have access to the lake. And the lake has limited and depleted supplies of fish. And with the Chinese importing fish that costs less than Kenyan fish, it means fishing in kenya should be turned to commercialized large scale not the subsistence fishing that we have.
you do not win government support by throwing shoes at the President, having your so called leaders carry whistles to parliament to embarass the same President…
i know, freedom of expression and we are taxpayers too bla bla bla…
but it is fact the world over, even in the US of A, that governments are nudged towards the initiation and implementation of favourable policy through careful, consistent lobbying. you certainly do not get there by demanding for teargas every week…
