The forthcoming Kenya Presidential elections is not about financial support, its considerably greater than swearing loyalty to the pary/coalition, it requires more than going with NASA Presidential Candidate to the NASA rallies.

On the opposite side, it gives Africa an opportune time to prove itself.

Its may be only in this election that we can demonstrate to the entire World that Raila’s victory was stolen in the 2013 and in 2007 elections or we let the World take a believe spread by the Jubilee propagandists that Right Honorable Raila Odinga as an election malcontent.

Maybe its in this Election that we can give our Uganda brothers and the opposition leader Kizza Besigye hope for the future in Uganda or our Zimbabwe brothers and their opposition leader Morgan Richard Tsvangirai hope of getting Robert Mugabe out of power to pave way for Democracy in Zimbabwe.

This race is a test for African Democracy.

The Supreme Court decision brought our Democracy to the global record breaking book and Kenya is on focus now than at any other time before in our history.

Interestingly, I’m yet to see our elected MCAs, MPs, Women Reps and Senators identify this importance and welcome different contenders who lost to them in the August 8th election to join hands in drumming up support for the NASA Presidential hopeful Raila Odinga.

I am yet to see their grassroots crusades led by the coalition of our elected Governors (Gov. Obado, Awiti, Nyong’o and Rasanga), am yet to know of any door-to-door campaigns for Raila organized by our MPs, MCAs or Senators as they did when they were campaigning to be elected.

Does the silence mean NASA and Raila were just stepping stool to individual’s success? The silence has its consequence as we are all aware that the Jubilee coalition is out manipulating voters in the apparent NASA strongholds.

No MP, Senator or MCA should tell us that they are assisting with campaign strategies now. NASA had its strategists previously and they have not changed that.

It is my appeal to the elected leaders to champion the grassroots campaigns and give NASA less demanding work than sitting tight for updates
