I am afraid those fears I expressed a month ago - more than two weeks before that climactic moment when President Kibaki and Mr Raila Odinga signed their agreement on the steps of Harambee House - are being borne out.
This article contains a wonderfully accurate assessment. The evidence to date leads one to believe that power brokers are preparing to feast upon the production of the Kenyan People, rather than improve the lot of the aforementioned. Have they no shame? No one has mentioned "absolutely free" primary and secondary education; no one has mentioned meaningful job development programs; no one has mentioned meaningful land reform. Why? Probably because powerbrokers are reviewing the best way to steal public funds under the current circumstances. One way to combat the "eating together" syndrome is for the various tribes to come together with a non-political private commision to serve as a watch dog of the developing political landscape.
