Kenya shone on the international radar following the signing of the power sharing deal that could hold the country back from the grind towards the precipice.

In such a long article, do you not feel the need to say what the details are of this "wonderful agreement"? You told how pleased everyone is about it, but never mentioned the substance of the agreement. Can I suggest wrting a little more substance and a little less "fluff". Your readers have no idea what the 2 parties have agreed to do, so how will we quantify success or compliance with the agreement? In the future, how will we be able to determine who is cheating on the deal if we have no idea what the 'deal" is in the first place?
The leaders need to let Kenyans know the terms of the agreement. What plans do Kibaki and Raila have for Kenya. We all want to see a revitalized economy and peaceful country where people are assured of security, and freedom to move and live anywhere they choose!
CONGRATULATIONS KENYANS, but I agree with the writer seeking more "substance" and less "fluff" in this article. Again, I pose the same question: What is this "deal" or "act" signed by Kibaki and Raila? After all the chaos and waiting, we don't just want to hear that these two men signed a deal. It has taken over two months and a whole host of international clout to get this far. How can we hold the government accountable on some deal whose terms we don't know? And let's be aware there are enough "Martha Karuas" out there who can turn around and play ignorant after Kofi Annan has left.

How did PNU present two presidential candidates? Well that is now over, however, your country should find a way of getting rid of lawyers who specialize in twisting truth and fact. it makes the rest of the world question what kind of law schools you have. the practice of law should not be converted into a venture into legalized misdemeanour as some of your lawyers and justices seem to show.
