Kalonzo: Fall of Mugabe, Zuma a Sign of Impending Change in Kenya's Leadership
Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has allayed fears that National Super Alliance (Nasa) coalition is headed for a split.
Speaking during the burial of Prof. Lenno Mbaga Mwambura at Bodoi, Kilifi County on Saturday, Musyoka said the four Nasa co-principals; Raila Odinga, Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetang'ula are in good terms and will continue to push for electoral justice.
“Politics have just started, there is no turning back, we must make sure that not again will elections be stolen and people rule by force," Kalonzo said, adding that the coalition is more stronger.
Kalonzo further described the fall of Presidents Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe and Jacob Zuma of South Africa as well as the resignation of Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemarian Desalegn as a sign of impending change in Kenya’s leadership.
“You must have seen how President Robert Mugabe left office after clinging to power for far too long without loss of life and that is because the people of Zimbabwe felt it was time for change. In similar fashion Zuma left office. Kenya must also brace itself for change,” said Kalonzo.
In a statement sent to newsrooms on Friday and signed by the four co-principals, the coalition accused the media of focusing on Nasa's alleged 'rifts', while turning a blind eye in what they termed as huge differences in President Kenyatta's Jubilee camp.
“A section of the media has in recent days used vibrant exchange of views within Nasa mostly on fringe issues to portray the coalition as divided and on the verge of collapse. Nothing could be further from the truth,” the four said in the statement.
The absence of Musyoka, Wetang'ula and Mudavadi in Raila's swearing in ceremony on January 30th as well as differences in the sharing of leadership positions in Parliament within the opposition outfit, has threatened to break the coalition.
Its leaders have, however, remained positive that the alliance will remain united despite the 'minor' misunderstandings.

Glad watermelon is alive and "kicking". I laugh at the thought that kalonzo and his clown friends represent change in Kenya.Your combined yrs in government is about 100years! You are change? You went to parliament when i was a school boy- my son is older than i was then- my hair is "merino" while yours is "blackest" because you are so young- you are change.Dictatorship comes from both/nay all sides-family/church/work and yes from "opposition". In which world does a candidate run for president for over 20yrs?Long enough to run against their grandchildren? What special leadership skills/talents to they have?How sick do you have to be to argue/explain loss as "stolen election?". What demonic belief do you need that you can lie to your empty-headed supporters that you won?It is very hard to win elections- even more difficult when you cheat your people that they are "always winning" but others "steal" their victory.Kalonzo will never win any presidential elections in Kenya! There is no room for electing fools/con men/cowards who think Kenyans owe them.When are you "oathing" to join your fake baba? I find your "skipping" explanation so juvenile.I do not know how Kambas do it but from where i come from if you say bye in the morning to go see the "dactari wa vijana" you never came back "whole" even if dactari was missing- you will be taken to the next/next/next till you are "done". You do not come back home to give stories of missing "doctor". Some times we waited days during high season- no going back.I guess you are still a "kahii". Grow up and let Kenya be.You are not the future- you are what we do not want.Uhuru is younger than you- who needs to retire now? He is serving his last term- what term are you serving?You keep threatening us with violence yet at the slightest you "cry like a baby"- you want Kenyans to give you nyonyo to shut up?Kenya's case is very different- it is the opposition threatening violence- it is the opposition that is a one man show- waiting for raila to "arrange oath" for you so you "shine?" You are a real mogotio goat if you think that will happen.
Kalonzo, your reasoning is…

Kalonzo, your reasoning is totally crooked. Mugabe was a dictator who was never elected in office. He used to be a rebel who forced himself into office; you live by the sword, you die by the sword. Zuma was not elected into office via popular vote. His party put him in office and his party removed him from office. Uhuru was elected through popular vote. Before you utter nonsense, do your homework; you coward!

Kila soko ina mwendawazimu wake. Kalonzo ametupa mbao. He is pedding hate with an aim of creating chaos in our beloved country Kenya. Uhuru is the duly elected president. Come 2022 and the mt. Kenya electorates will dictate who becomes the 5th prezo. Wakikuyu ni wengi jo and they vote as a bloc and whomever they support will win. Kalonzo, Weta and Mdvd are not members of NRM hiyo ni ya Raila peke yake.
