Police have broken demonstrations in Mombasa, Kisumu and Migori as various other towns across the country remained tense following protest rallies called by the Orange Democratic Movement.

Election day was relatively peaceful until Kivitu, the compromised ECK commissioner lied to the voters. The election was stolen by Kibaki, a 76 year old cardiac patient who should have retired to his shamba as a statesman. Instead he insults and underestimates his own citizens. He exhibits a strong dose of contempt to the extent that he believes that strong arm, blood letting tactics and barbarism by the police office will quell the passions of the people.
Kenya has fallen in whatever stature it was enjoying, although that was an illusion, and its demise is not astonishing, but par for the course. The greedy Kenyan elite do not care about the country's future or present as long as their beers keep flowing and their gardens are tended to by the poor working help. Shame on Kenya! The country is nowhere near no even close to maturity but instead it is a basket case of corrupt, overpaid, lazy, government officials.
As a kenyan,I think the Police and those in power should know that THE COMMON MAN has suffered a lot in the hands of the power hungry politicians who are fighting for their own gains,The gap between the rich and the poor is so big and people should be left to express their feelings when they demostrate peacefully.why kill them when they votted peacefully without war and they expected the outcome to be what they wanted???????? Time will tell and feature has a lot to judge; I wonder what Mr. Kivuti is saying, now that people have been killed, some in the cold with small childrens, out of his judgement which he was not sure of whether Mr. Kibaki won the election!!!! The calcutions of the provinces in Kenya alone can tell the trueth of the Elections and who won !!!!!!!The NEW GENERATION ARE OUT today to fight the Kangaroo style of politics we have in Kenya. May the police know that the VOICE OF THE PEOPLE is the government.
