I have seen guys laughing that some Kenyans are running away from towns such as Nairobi, Nakuru, Eldoret because they fear violence. Those running are most likely Raila voters and this may affect the outcome of the elections with Jubilee winning.
This is unlikely and after the events of 2007 and 2013, many Kenyans did take their voter’s card in their rural homes, obviously factoring violence but also to vote for their kin and friends.
But even so, just like Uasin Gishu Governor Jackson Madago sain while in Langas Eldoret, this election is not for Raila or Luos’s to lose. It is for Kenyans.
If the last four years have been good for you, then you can elect Jubilee back. But if you were affected by teacher’s strike, doctor’s strike, nurses strike, lecturer’s strike, if you were affected by the corruption at the ministry, if the government anti-NGO stance led you to lose your job, if opening the gates to Chinese goods saw your company close shop and move out of Kenya, if the failing shilling affected your import business, if the price food affected you, you should vote for change.
Jubilee were hardly on the news for doing something right, except for the paid-up advertisements. From the day one, the public appointments were one sided (favouring the only two communities in government) the corruption runaway, best exemplified by a powerful government official trying to grab a public-school land and teargassing school children for protesting. There was NYS, there was a lot of land grabbing. The SGR was scandalously overpriced. Ministry of health. Eurobond. The maize scandal. You name it.
Another five years of this mediocrity just because you don’t like Raila is the height of stupidity. When your businesses suffer because you can’t access a loan, will you still blame Raila? When land is grabbed, more scandals are unearthed, will you still blame Raila?
Laugh all you want at the prospect of NASA losing, but you will be counting your losses shortly after things go awry. For you are certain they will.

Mjadili halisi says
Jubilee the best government ever, we got title deeds,IDPS WERE PAID OR SETTLED. Road construction, road expansion, equipped hospitals, port expansion, sgr, huduma centers, free lap tops, increased county funds from 15% to 40%. Money for the elderly. All these while immature ojinga was talking noise about Okoa kenya, solidarity with teachers, saba saba, iebc must go,etc
Allan says
The so called railway votes moving from town to rural areas this is not a big deal ,we are to vote in rural areas cause these are areas where we were registered.those spreading uwongo shd wait and see results
Patriot says
@mjadili halisi also free maternity, lifting of loans by from farmers, credible national exams, free ksce n kcpe etc apart from what u have listed….. So jubilee ni kusema na kutenda….I agree

Free maternity, clean exams etc is not a favour but a right. Do u soberly care to know what a cost this comes with? Read….ashilling for a shs= runway mothercorruption. Nasa5 a fresh.

The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.
Cruz Urps says
An interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
