Yes
No

Your Say

this government has never, i mean never made an attempt to deal with corruption...the only viable explanation; those to take decision are involved. From Golden Burg, Maize Scandal, Triton Oli, Grand Regency, and now to FPE funds. Who will save us kenyans?; ...

  after experiencing my own brothers and sisters being killed with my own friend who we used to eat together,because of politics or rather voting,people still in IDP camps. others have not yet recovered, scandals all over, we should not vote again for new reforms instead we will be voting for the stomachs of our MPs.

  To demystify the constant allegation that there was no clear winner, we need to sanitize the electoral register, contitute a new interim electoral commission and we go back to the ballot. In the eyes of the majority and what Kriegler covertly avered to, it is very obviouse who won the lelections. It pains to find some gatecrashers posing superior to the genuine winners.

  The only way Kenya can be peaceful is to force these 2 power hungry fellows to resign as the President and the Prime Minister respectively. They should only be allowed to serve as their area MPs. Kenyans should then be given the opportunity to choose a leader who can lead the country with wisdom and understanding which comes from God alone. Kenya will have peace without Kibaki and Raila in power.

  Kenya should surely go for early election next year before June. Bearing in mind that the constitution has to be reviewed, voting registers inspected.

  Since it seems like the matter is not coming to an end, it is better for Kenyans to agree and take another glow of votes to clearly eradicate this vampire which scratches only innocent hearts. My fellow Kenyans we can not suffer yet there is a way to come out from the dead valley.

  Yes I do support the call for Kenyans to go back to the elections. This is because the current government does not seem to have the right way forward for the nation.The government itself has never ending wrangles making it impossible for it to serve the needs of Kenyans. Kenyans need a stable govt and a strong opposition so as to make it forward. All in all the 'monkeys' are always the same.

  No. I don't support kenya to go back to the ballot early to save itself from political wrangles. Many kenyans ar still IDPs, secondly the wounds caused by post election fights are still very fresh and to make the matter worse! No ECK to stand for early elections. As kenyans we should turn to God and pray for peace and agreement between our leaders.

  With regret I do support another election because of the simple fact that with all the friction going on there is little room for constructive work from those in government. furthermore, it exposes the country to acts of corruption in the confusion. Taxpayer's money is being wasted and would rather be used to place a legitimate government in place.

  The only solution is elections. ODM were sneaked in the GOVERNMENT from the back door. It's a very bad decision to include them in government, instead of going to court. We have dishonoured our courts of law.

  The only tie-breaker for the current stalemate in government is a new election. The NCCK said it and the sooner we accept that verdict the better. Otherwise, the coalition partners will spend the next four years (multiply four years by 30 million of us to understand the real impact) plotting and counter-ploting how to bring each other down. Don't expect any useful work from this govt Kenyans!
