ARE WE GOING TO WAR OR ELECTIONS, MR MATIANGI?



IS IT WAR OR ELECTIONS?
I have come to like the Real Donald Trump since he signed into law, a congress bill which passed sanctions on Russia for meddling in the American elections. Trump took this bold step on the backdrop of a diplomatic row, in which Russian foreign minister first talked about President Donald’s secret camera tape in a Moscow hotel. Even though Russia retaliated by flushing out 755 diplomatic personnel and seizing  two of Americas diplomatic properties, Real Donald still approved the bill by congress.
This emerging cold war between Russia and US hints of a third world war dynamite waiting to explode. Russia has more nuclear stock piles but the ones US is too much to finish Russia in the twinkle of an eye. The most fascinating thing though, is the situation in Kenya. The governments sent some hooded scoundrels, or were they “Wayahoody”, to vandalize and confiscate Nasa’s technology equipment in their parallel tallying centre. What kind of a regime is this which still exercises autocratic powers? Are we under anarchy? Yes!
In the words of Patrick Lumumba, “Election in Kenya is a beast no Kenyan has ever seen.” Like in my mother tongue they call it “Koko”. In Kenya going to elections is synonymous to going to World war 3. The government has deployed 180, 000 police officers, the military who are supposed to be deployed on approval by parliament has been deployed on executive directive to deal with Kenyans internally, the National youth service too. New military equipment and anti riot gear has been imported to deal with Kenyans. Ha ha haaa. The biggest question is whether there can be violence if the elections are conducted in a free, fair, just and credible manner?
