Nabwera: Why I appealed to my Party Leader not to join dialogue, Government of National Unity

I have been asked by various Kenyans including media why I passionately appealed to my Party Leader and Political mentor not to join dialogue or go the route of Government of National Unity (GNU). I clarify as follows:

1: Kenya cannot run on half measures. We need a complete (360) turn to improve our Governance.

2: Routing for a Government of National Unity (GNU) is overthrowing the Constitution. It is tantamount to recreating one Party state.

3: Parliament would be moribund without official opposition. Infact such political infidelity in the last President Uhuru Kenyatta’s regime produced some of the worst laws.

4: GNU will not fight corruption, will not improve accountability and Governance and truly will kill democracy.

I am getting concerned that my Party would become the proverbial man in my culture who is always available to cleanse a widow before she remarries.

We were on the forefront of picking the fight between Uhuru and his then deputy William Ruto claiming then that Ruto was the bad one in the Jubilee admnistration; we seem to be justifying our supposed unholy courting by claiming that deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is the bad one in the Kenya Kwanza family. Really?

The Party big boys on one hand do not want our members at individual levels to cultivate mutual relationships with other leaders of different parties including vetting community mutual interests and yet they bang us with ‘the Party has decided blah blah…..”. Are we still propagating liberal democracy?

Allow William Ruto to reconstitute his government in the manner proscribed by law and meeting the threshold of the Gen Z.

As I have said, we need to read the signs of the day. Unless we are also not ready to change. We must stop being conflicted. Gen z are questioning our moral compass.
