With the Pronouncement by Kenya’s “President” Mwai Kibaki that there was no constitutional Vacuum for the creation of an Executive Prime Minister Position, the country seems to be headed for a fresh eruption of violence. The Opposition has threatened to renew call for mass action and already armed groups are mobilizing in anticipation of a stalemate. Today Violence erupted in Mathare and Kibera. The man in the picture below was beat up by Luo Men who suspected him of being a Mungiki member.
In a related story Najib Balala a senior leader in the Opposition was quoted as saying that Central Province would be isolated and suggested forming another Lesotho in Kenya.
Over the last few days, key government leaders like foreign affairs minister Wetangula and Justice Minister Martha Karua have accussed the West of international strong arming. However the United States Secretary of State correctly stated that the pressure was from ordinary Kenyans calling for power sharing and an end to the violence. It will be a sad day for Kenya if the talks fail this week because of hard line positions by Kibaki, Martha Karua and Wetangula.

It is unfortunate that innocent kikuyus are being dragged into this election stealing affair. I also think Najib Balala’s comments were irresponsible
