I stayed up most of Thurday 12/27/2007 to Sunday 12/30/2007. The Kenya elections were fascinating: How Odinga could lead by a wide margin throughout only to lose in the end. I am reminded of a Kenyan Kikuyu friend who passionately swore in 2002 that they (the Kikuyu)would never let a muJaluo rule in Kenya. Was it surprising that Central Province voted close to 98% for Kibaki.
I spoke to a Ugandan politician at the MP Alaso's contraversal wedding. He expressed concern about the machinations in Kenya which seem to resemble that of our own country, Uganda. I concur. Kenya is the anchor for the East African economy. Any instability will certainly affect Uganda the most.
I offer my prayers for Kenya.

German paper, the Spiegel has put the Kenya situation bluntly, See

As I predicted, Uganda is already feeling the consequent Kenya's election debacle. Petrol prices have doubled, if you can find it.
Frantic efforts are being made from all sides to contain the situation in Kenya. But did Kibaki have to kill so many just for the price of the presidency? He is 76, and will soon die anyway? Why is man so self-centered? With nearly 100 ODM MPs how is he going to rule anyway?
Now the ECK Chairman, Kivuiti, is saying he was pressured to release the results of the Presidential elections. Ha says he is not sure if Kabaki won the election. How bizarre can it get?
So Museveni is out to solve the Kenya crisis. He does this by first congratulating Mwai Kibaki, and he is the first prsesident to do so. What a joke this is! How can you set a thief to catch a thief?
