An Assassination Plot in Kenya

Could there be a plot by a section of the political class to ensure that the constitution is assassinated and buried deep before it could become operational. Mutilation is not the word to use here that is already done and Kenyans are getting used to it.

A few days ago Presidential aspirant Martha Karua alleged that there was a plot to move elections date to August 2013, then I could not imagine of such a possibility since such legislation by parliament to move elections to August 2013 Kenyans would prompt a revolt given the level of freedom of expression enjoyed in the country. Then came the IEBC tender saga on biometric voter registration kits, this creates a scenery where Kenyans could endorse the date themselves as ours politicians sit back and watch, given Kenyans would sacrifice anything even buying time to see a peaceful election.


This got me thinking could such happening be political plots stage managed to suit political interests? Could there be a systematic plan to rip off Wanjiku the gains made through the new constitution? While chatting with a friend deeply involved party politics, a prominent party I may say, with higher chances forming the next government.

He made an spat which I disregard as misplaced school of thought, he retorted " Wakenya wana jienjoy hata hizi county government can’t work wait next year we will have to revert to the old system". I have always felt that devolution was one of the best gifts of the new constitution to Kenyans.


The prediction and possible manipulation of election date to suit political interests got me worried, could these same minds be plotting to stop devolution once they clinch into power? What else do they have in store not in the public knowledge? Kenyans need to be vigilant or else the son they labored and heavily invested in to through their cash (read tax), time and also psychologically giving them the only hope for a brighter future might be assassinated even before he learns how to walk.
