I have been watching several local and international media talking heads leading their discussions and news with the title, Political Crisis, way forward for Kenya. What next after Uhuru win? As if they don't know what the law prescribes. My fellow citizens, Raila losing Presidency race fifth time is not a national crisis. It's an election lose like the more than 100 Gubernatorial aspirants who lost. It's just another political contest loss like the many MP aspirants who lost. It's not a national crisis like some natural disasters that just happened to the country.
In November 2016, Americans had elections. Hillary Clinton received 2.6 million votes more than Donald Trump but Trump won more electoral college votes. Elections ended. The loser conceded. The media didn't run around with some perverted news headlines of oh, national crisis. Oh, dialogue. Outcomes of any elections is either win or lose. One shouldn't enter into an election contest if the only outcome they expect is victory and anything else is rigging.
Kenya media, the clergy and the citizens must stop cuddling political gangsterism in which political losers become some kind of above the law gang bangers commanding militia and holding the nation to ransom eti this or that territory is untouchable and ungovernable . This or that segment of citizens will not recognize the duly elected government. Independent electoral commission must meet my own irreducible minimum conditions etc. Losing a political contest is not a national crisis and those hyping it as such should be ashamed.
