I doubt Kenyans will have the stomach to issue him with the green light to state house. I pray for peace in 2022 God forbid that disaster,if kenya doesn't change the regime in 2022 we will sink because even reaching 2022 looks very dark "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."

Looking back with hindsight, it seems Kibaki was near genius in public finance management. With the current crop, only PK would come a close second. But he's outside the arena.  Kibaki was a terrible finance minister btw 1969-1982. Most of kenya disastrous economic policies were initiated during this time import substitution, forex control,he presided over the most reckless spending 76-78 which a took a decade to recover from. The most genius move of the Moi era was removing kibaki from the finance ministry. It helped roll back his disastrous economic policies. Let's not glorify the man too much

You should at least vote ata ikiibiwa at least you tried for who? you can imagine a situation where we have ruto, kalonzo, joho for odm, musalia and weta, and there is no political wave towards new minorities who usually get less than 100k, then I wake up at 5am to queue No way let it be a shame There are only two emotions in the stock market, fear and hope.

Let's not glorify the man too much I doubt you have checked your facts. Mo1 inherited a vibrant economy in 1978. By the time he left in 2002, it was in ICU. Kibaki resuscitated it and by the time he left, it had improved and discharged from hospital. As we speak, it's like the economy is back into general ward, thanks to mo1 students
