Ahmednasir Abdullahi: Raila just a suave political salesman after the spoilshttp://bit.ly/1oy8ni7
We must admit that there are two Saba Saba days in Kenya’s history. Twenty-two years ago, Kenyans, led by men of substance and with real conviction and devotion to a new vision of a democratic and accountable government, called the bluff on the Moi state, defied him and, in the process, kicked off a long and odious struggle for the second liberation.
That struggle ended with the ultimate prize: the promulgation of a new constitution in 2010. It is a document that finally drew the curtain in the struggle and agitation for a better country, governed through a constitution owned and authored by the people of Kenya.
Then we have the second and new Saba Saba tomorrow’s. The fake Saba Saba. Three angry men who lost in last year’s elections are the new prophets. They want a slice of the prize that eluded them but, like many prophets, are too shy to demand it.
