I can hazard a guess that if Matiba (God forbid) should die today, Mwai Kibaki, Koigi Wamwere and Moi would all send "sincere condolences to the family during this difficult time as we mourn a man whose contribution to his country will be sorely missed". And that brings in the great tragedy of the NARC dream-because it lumped reformers and pretenders together, this country lost a chance to right some of the worst injustices that were visited upon hard working Kenyans who only happened to speak out against a ruthless dictator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32661629.post-80596502444063957112007-11-19T14:26:00.000+03:002007-11-19T14:26:00.000+03:00Give him a chance, he might just make it to finall...Give him a chance, he might just make it to finally lead this great country.

So as much as his people in Mt. Kenya region are supporting President Kibaki, he cannot just seat and watch or support because he also has the support of the former President who detained him and is to blame for his sad state of health and loosing elections 15 year back.Jamiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285474713138710666noreply@blogger.com
