Section of desperate Mt Kenya politicians now supports Kalonzo Musyoka to succeed Kibaki
The political realignment in Kenya is now taking a new awkward shape among the Gema community, as the fight of succession of Kibaki takes another angle.
The Vice President, Hon Kalonzo, the man whose phone call to Kiviutu ( ECK) triggered the 2007 post election violence,(that has left thousands of Gikuyus and other Kenyans dead, homeless or refugees ), recently staged dramatic coup deta’t, to lead the confused Gikuyus community after Kibaki.
Kalonzo has taken advantage of the grumbling among the Gikuyus political leadership, to wrap up his ambition to succeed President Kibaki from the back door.
The recently stage managed endorsement of Kalonzo by the section of the light weight Gema leaders, clearly illustrates that he has abandoned the principles held by the grand coalition government deal, and is now seeking a political power base for his Orange Democratic Party of Kenya ( ODM-K) come 2012 general election.
Mr Kalonzo and his group are political opportunists who follow every political twist and turns to seize power in the expense of lives of impoverish Kenyan tax payers.
Kenyans must therefore, note that without new majimbo constitution before next general election 2012 there will be another major political crisis.
