Kudos to Nducu wa Ngugi for speaking the truth. Ethnocracy has become is a convenient weapon by which rich Kenyans entrench their dominance over the majority poor.
Let me reiterate another truth published in the Pambazuka magazine (this week: NOT EVERY KIKUYU IS RICH AND NOT EVERY LUO IS POOR. Therefore forget such cheap media categorisation of the Kenyan problem.
Well said; however the 10 million voted for change regardless wheater on ethic line or socioeconomic line; they were just looking for change and they gave it their all.
The socioeconoicly disadvataged Kenyan's are tire of being stuck at the tottem pole they are looking for change and it doesn't matter who promissed them this I think they would still have voted the same way.
Balots is the only power this people have; it is sad that Kibaki and his croonies have decided to trample on these peoples democratic dream.
Keep on writting brother.
