Getting political positions does not mean anything about your IQ, I know some MCAs who actually cannot read or articulate a sensible position. Most of our MPs do not even understand the basics of legislation. Moi stayed in power because Kenyans when it comes down to it, they do not want war or destruction, I give credit to Kenyans on this one. Ruto rode to power with disaffection with the statues quo and Kikuyus help, getting power is easy, political organization and genius leadership are two different animals, Kibaki could not organize a political movement like Raila but yet he produced the best results. Ruto and Gachagua? At least they are religious and will keep us on our knees praying for miracles.
I agree with you here. I dont see anyone crying out loud about good policy in current govt. That is what makes good govt. Remember in the beginning Kibaki was ill and Raila was kinda in charge in pushing various projects - dismantling houses all over to make way for the by-pass. Internet was born at the same time - pushing for international cabling etc. Then, he was sidelined. Kibaki's ideas were from Raila. Raila is impulsive but knows his thing.
Kindiki has no idea about policy.
Mudhavadi is deadwood etc
