Kabogo's Message to President Uhuru and Raila

Kabogo's Message to President Uhuru and Raila

Former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo has called on President Uhuru and his National Super Alliance (NASA) competitor Raila Odinga to engage in dialogue and end the confusion surrounding the October 26th repeat election.

In a message on his Twitter account, Kabogo urges the two to hold talks and resolve the issues that could derail the fresh election so that the country can move on from the current uncertainty.

"Mr. President UK and Hon. RAO speak to each other and lets have The long awaited Elections. Kenya will be even after Elections," He said in a tweet.

"Give n take. Even if it means dropping the irreducible minimum demands on IEBC and dropping the amendments to the election laws, so be it," the former Governor said in another tweet.

On Sunday, President Kenyatta ruled out engaging in talks with Mr Odinga over the repeat Presidential election set for October 26th.

“The constitution says that the sovereign power belongs to the people. All power is vested in the people and it is the people who shall decide who will lead them," Uhuru stated in a meeting with coast leaders in State House Mombasa.

Speaking during an interview with Radio Jambo on Wednesday, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga said he was ready to dialogue with Uhuru.

“We need to solve our own problems and I am ready to hold talks with anyone so that we can get a solution to the current stalemate,” He said.

Raila has already withdrawn from the race for repeat poll.

How do you create problems then ask others to come to the table so you can solve them together? Scratching my behind while pondering this one.

Kabogo, there will be no dialogue with losers. God forbid Raila can try again in 2022. Nusu mkate Hakuna mazee.

I am amazed at all these people suggesting that Uhuru should 'talk' to Raila as if government affairs are ran on the whims of a 'gentleman's handshake'. We have institutions and laws precisely to avoid arbitrary policy from a few people who cause chaos to get what they want. Everybody knows how Kenya has come on this reform journey, not the least Raila, who would be in detention were it not for the reforms he keeps trashing. Tusichinjie wazimu...

Some folks are so stupid or foolish in response. Those reforms are as a result of Raila. He suffered for them. He even suffered to usher the new constitutional dispensation which Uhuru & Ruth oppossed.

Uhuru is corrupt, a fraud whose thieving of elections was invalidated. Reforms must take place and another election must be done or entered into.....only if there is transparency and credibility. Is that too much to ask for?

Because Myopic sycophancy clouds some eyes and brains, where does that leave Shikuku, Matiba, Taita Towet, George Anyona, Rubia, Imanyara, Muite, Anyang Nyong, etc. Kwenda zako ati Raila sacrificed by all himself for the new dispensation. Your argument is tired.

@Steve, Raila did not fight for the second liberation alone. With him were other fine gentlemen and ladies who have not taken part in creating stalemate in the country. They have not employed goons for ksh 1000 to "protest"(BBC reporting) which according to NASA is destruction of property and looting. Two, Ruto was on Raila's side during the ushering in of the Constitution. Do you remember why he left your Raila? The common denominator is Raila in the last three elections, why so? You can call the other side all kinds of names but one thing is clear or should be clear by now. Raila will never ever lead Kenya. Again, he is NOT the only person who fought for the second liberation. Some died for this cause so give us a break. You can inflate his accomplishments all you want but history will judge this thug harshly.

Raila suffered for reforms? Oh, even his cohorts are suffering from teargas, a whip here and there and even some reported deaths -- all self-imposed suffering because they are trying to push their fingers into the serikali's nostril... guza serikali uone what some call 'teargas'; which some call suffering.. hehe..

Why is Mwakilishi biased? Just posting pro uhuru responses and not posting anything pointing to the evils that caused the stalemate we now have as a result of Uhuruto's adamancy. We shall make a public notification to the masses if this publication is biased. Mwakilishi, please respond.

Kwani umelazimishwa usome mwakilishi? Kama hujui, responses that you see are representative of the disgust people have for RAo's infantile politics and disrespect for voters and institutions. Na usifikirie Mwakilishi ni IEBC ati you give them ultimatums. "Public notification to the masses", my foot!

Raila has taught you well. Trying to bring Raila antics on Mwakilishi. Go read standard newspaper and listen to Kewi radio and radio Lake Victoria. Si Nation TV ni yenu siku hizi.Hatutaki ujinga hapa. Ati Mwakilishi respond, kwani Mwakilishi ni nyanya yako. What are you high on. Grow up.

Why can't you just accept that a majority of people view Raila as a nuisance and are tired of his puerile antics. You are in the minority and you cannot simply bully Mwakilishi to help you worship Raila here.

@ Steve, this kind of nonsense is what us Kenyans are tired of. Kwani lazima usome Mwakilishi? Kwenda zako. Umezoea kulazimisha kama kitu hakiendi your way. Most Kenyans are tired and we can't wait for October 26th tumalizane na hii maneno ya elections Kenya isonge mbele tuachie upuzi wanaotaka.

Kifaranga (not verified)     Thu, 10/12/2017 @ 01:56pm

Dialogue for what??? President Uhuru doesn't have time to waste. We are waiting for October 26th for elections Kenya iendelee. Once Uhuru is sworn in as President after the 26th, ndiyo mtaelewa kuwa Kenya iko na serikali and huo upuzi utafika mwisho. He will deal with all this animosity going on. Most Kenyans are tired and we can't wait. Actually, we just wish hii election is tomorrow.

No need for negotiations because there will be no election. No Raila no election.Why is this sentence so difficult to comprehend.Raila was simply being engaging during the radio interview as he is not interested in negotiating with Uhuru kwani there is no constitution .Some of this jubilee people think that NASA will just hand them the presidency and refuse to accept that once again tumewanasa.We do not want your half loaves of bread nor will we participate in your sham élections .

Kenya is a political country like any other. The only difference is that we are highly tribal. Kenya needs be brought on a table like a cake and cut into tribal shapes. The only recipe for peace.

Kifaranga, our Gikuyuism is non sense. Gikuyus alone can not run Kenya. How can one team player change rules of the game with referee during half time then he asks the other team player to come and finish the game??? This very IMPOSSIBLE. Our own greed is now killing us. We don't have legal advisors to read and understand the law the advise Uhuru. Ruto is very stupid, he is laughing and insulting Raila when Uhuru is messing. Don't we know that voting has to be done in 290 constituencies for validity? Is october 26th for Re-run, or fresh elections or repeat? Most os uf gikuyus are very stupid to understand, other tribes out smart us here. If it is re-run the wthdrawal of Raira nullifies it. If it is fresh election then it must be done in 90 days, which will not be october 26th. Can't we reason up????? I was born a gikuyu but I hate it.

Mwakilishi ni ya wakikuyu, that is why it is pro-Uhuru. I was disturbed when it actually gleefully posted a Kenyan tragedy in Belgium - James Ololo killing his wife - in a manner to malign NASA. As if killing his wife had anything to do with NASA.

Mwakilishi propagates tribalism abroad. Do not be shocked. If you want a balanced paper, read mshale at www.Mshale.com.

Mwakilishi, Diaspora messenger, Karibu, AjabuAfrica, Kenya-Today....are tribe driven by useless Kenyans abroad.
Which is a tragedy because they ought to be a good example because they are exposed, right?

WRONG! This tribal based outlets cater to the subdued tribalists like kina Sokora.

Mugi (not verified)     Fri, 10/13/2017 @ 02:47pm

Mwakilishi is the best destination for us, so search for yours if you are disgruntled. Mshale will give me African news which I am not interested in. Mwakilishi is my home.
