Kudos to Kibaki and Raila Odinga, HAIL THE OUTSTANDING STATESMEN THAT AFRICA SHOULD BE PROUD OF. You have definitely made Africa proud and, without any doubt, all well-meaning Africans will wish your government every success. WHERE THERE IS A WILL THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY.!

i think the same way, thats how kenyans problems has been always resolved without violance, congratulation to both of you

Will Odinga be content with his PM post- time will tell, but highly unlikely. Unless Odinga becomes President & PM, we will back to govt gridlock down the road.

Amazing! That Kibaki, the loser in elections2007, is gracious enough to appoint Raila, the winner, to anything? Are we to understand that if not for the magnanimity of Mungiki's Kibaki, then the people's Raila would be out in the cold?

And you are gleefully applauding that state of things? Do you think that the people who voted for the people's rainbow coalition to take control and guide them see it that same way?

Buddy, the worst is yet to come.

For decades, such has been the motto of your murderous Mungiki. Indeed Kibaki, Kenyatta, Karume, Karua and the rest of your bloody GEMA-supremacists will surely agree with you: "Where there is a will, there is always a way"

'... For decades, such has been the motto of your murderous Mungiki: "Where there is a will, there is always a way"'

It remains to be seen whether the Kenyans who expressed their desire for change by voting for the ODM will accept this betrayal of trust in ODM. Changes at times come about violently. Maybe the masses that saw their own killed by Kibaki and his Mungiki squads will persist in the pursuit their citizen rights and hold it true that "Where there is a will for change, there is always a way."

CHOKORA:i hope you dont want to take things to a level that you will never be able to resorve them again, you did not see it maybe but kanya was almost breaking in to a civil war just some months ago,so this is a big step for those who just want to live in peace and those who dont expect too much from the governement in their everyday life

'Thou Shalt Not Kill', this is a holy commandment that we all must live by, The Korn also speaks against indescriminate killing. Mungiki, SLDF, Taliban, Al Quaeda and all other militia groups that seek to terrorize the people at a local and international level are all WRONG for property destruction, horrific torures, rapes and murder. They must all be held to bbook, the civilians are suffereing untold horrrs having been displaced and separated from family and losing everything they have worked and lived for, no matter your political affiliation WRONG IS WRONG and RIGHT is RIGHT, both Kibaki and Raila OWE kenyans big time in stabilizing the country and establishing peace once and for all. We are FED-UP with this political wrangliing it is juvenile and costs the country economically we are plummeting towards our neighboring countries fate of war and destruction. Political divisions based on ethnic and tribal affiliations is divisive and unproductive for our nation which was once a beacon of hope for other nations to aspire to. It is time to get up as citizens and hold our leaders accountable, it is their JOB to ensure that Kenya remains stable economically, socially and politically. The blame game has got to stop, the leaders must be reminded that as public administrators they must function efficiently, effectively and be held accountable for the decisions they make. We as a peaople must ensure that our nation remains strong.

I think it was great thing for Kibaki and Raila to come together in agreement about the leadership of this nation. however, I have a feeling that there is more disaster awaiting than leadership disagreement as claimed by Chokora. Where will kenya be in the next five years especially considering the issue of Mungiki or is it National Youth Alliance? Can someone please tell me who these two names represent? Are they one and the same thing or is one an affliate of the other? If in case they are the same, why are the Mungiki termed unlawful outfit while the other as a political group? And how comes that a lawful sect can be an afflicate of unlawful one? who are the security agencies fight, the Mungiki or the National Youth Coalition? When I saw the National Youth Alliance spokeperson who is also referred as Mungiki representative come live of Tv and defended the actions of the angry youths said to be members of Mingiki, I got more confused? What is not happening here? Is it us or the police who are to fully informed? Which group is Raila planned to meet to negotiate the demands of Mungiki for the realise of their leader, Maina Njega? Why Raila and not Saitoti, the security minister? Why not Kibaki, the man of their tribe? Why did they stop their hostility after Raila asked for negotiation yet all along different government leaders had urged them for the same to no avail?

Tell me that this is NOT a joke !!

God bless Kenya and all of Africa forever! Although a small portion of my family was stripped away from Africa some centuries ago(slavery), most family remained. Therfore, I am still connected. So I am proud of my brothers and sisters in Kenya who have found peace at this time. I pray that Kenya, and every other country on the African continent begin to believe again in themselves/ourselves and regain the trust and brotherly love we once had for one another. May we come together at some point and let us never become divided again!

What puzzles me is how tons of lives have to be shattered before African leaders can come to an agreement. I only hope that this is a good stepping stone for peace in the turbulent Kenya.

CHOKORA:please come back to reality,what did you thought when you were voting for odinga, did you thought that you were going to get rich in one day, were you hoping to remove all kikuyus from power and take it all by yourself, i mean which planet do you live in, dont act like you are not kenyan and you dont know that the country is not that rich to make everybody happy,and stop dreaming that one day you guys(luos) are going to take over kenya with violance( maybe kisumu) but not kenya, listen im from BAKAMBA tribe and i dont care who rules the country as long as we have peace and what RAILA did was the only thing to get us out of the crisis,so if you are one of those who are looking for war go ahead but many kenyans dont wish for that to happen

We certainly should not say kudos! Shame on those who are saying it. Nothing has been resolved, instead we have attempted to dress up a wound and failed to treat the infection. Kibaki is one of the most corrupt leaders kenya has ever seen, and look at his side of the cabinet with over 70% from central kenya????How can you go to sleep in peace whn you know there are 42 communities that are also AGod's children who pay taxes ans suffer and deserve representation, but all you give them is a bad check.

Let us all reject this corruption, let us join forces and change the political landscape in Kenya. 40 abinet positions and each minister takes home $15k a month, this is sinful! Whether you are kikuyu or not, the truth is the same...do unto others how you'd like them to do unto you. This greed by Kibaki henchmen will isolate the entire province and we have a chance right now to stop it. I can predict right now that this makeshift arrangement will last less than six months and elections will be held. Imagine elections in six months...of course Kibaki is already thinking ahead and appointing another kikuyu deputy prime minister! This president is demented! He is evil and must be rejected! A kikuyu president ansd another kikuyu deputy????where are the other kenyans!

There are no kudos, we should say no! We must insist that a cap be put on the MPs salaries for the next 10 years.

I agree, the economy of scale does not even apply to the Cabinet's salaries. I need someone to give me a formula that has been used to justify the MPS/Ministers' salaries. It is dispicable!

CWERE: some of the things you are saying are true, and i understand your point, but let me ask you a question, who do you trust the most to rule the country? maybe your own tribe and you know that if that happen today many other peoples will be upset again against you and your peoples, thats why we need democracy to resorve this problem ,and we need smart politicians to make that proces unfair,if something is not going right( in case of kenya) the solution is not to burn churches, and chesing kikuyus allover kenya, because if that happen no one will be safe again in kenya - we need to make a diffrence between democracy and hunger for power,and if you mix both you may come up with something dangerous - everybody will get their chance to rule the country one day, but its better that,this goes trough a peaceful proces and not bowing down to menaces and violence - just relax five years will go faster than you think, and may advice tou is work hard to make your life better,because even if it was someone from your tribe who was the president your life is not going to change not even within five years, how many kikuyus who are poor and are still trying to survive everyday, while you guys are saying that they are the ones on power
