Friends,
There has been a very big lie that has been peddled across the media for a very long time and it needs to be completely dismantled.
(1) After independence, Instead of Kenyatta allocating, subdividing coffee and sisal plantations back to his landless kikuyu people, He allocated that land to himself and his friends.
(2) He then went ahead to allocated land to his kikuyu people in Kalenjin ancestral land. That caused a lot of rifts between him and Jaramogi the leader of the Luo people. Many Kalenjin leaders like chelagat Mutai protested against this land issue.In order to protect the Kikuyu who were already in Kalenjin land, He appointed Daniel Moi as vice president to ensure that the Kikuyu were politically protested and bring stability in government.
(3) After Kenyatta died,Moi (Kalenjin) took over in 1978.
(4) In 1982,Luo Air force men and some kikuyu tried to overthrow president Moi.
(5) After Moi defeated the coup masterminds, He recruited majority Kalenjin's in the Police,Military,Intelligence and provincial administration from 1982 to 2002 which means that Kibaki was just a president on paper when he took over in 2003.
(6) Lets go back to 1992,The Kenya constitution stated that you did not need 50% threshold to become president.KANU used security apparatus, provincial administration and media monopoly to cause chaos and displace luo,kikuyu,luhya and kisii to ensure they won the election. It is well documented in the akiwumi report.
(7) In 2011,That why former GSU commandant CHERAMBOSS in the Moi Government was charged at ICC for war crimes because senior security chiefs in the former Moi gov used their old networks to unleash and plan violence in 2007.
(
In short, There has never been Kalenjin warriors, It was just KANU using security machinery to go start civil war to ensure total control.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE VIOLENCE TO WIN ELECTIONS TODAY?Its not possible for the following reasons:
(a) The ICC
(b) The constitution places a 50% threshold to win an election. That means No single tribe can win an election. Ruto needs Kikuyu and Luhya votes to win the 2022 presidential election. That means he wouldn't want even a single case of violence because that would cost his political career popularity wise in Mt Kenya and Mulembe nation.
(c) War would only lead to dismantling of Kenya as a republic and nobody would want that because it means all rich politicians would loose control of their wealth in new republics and nation states through legislation.
(d) The Kenya police and army is now multi ethnic,
THERE CAN NEVER BE VIOLENCE IN KENYA,NEVER.
