Mudavadi only wanted to please his allies

Deputy Prime Minister Musalia Mudavadi’s statement that all Kenyans are to blame for post-election violence can only be interpreted to mean they were meant to please his new G7 Alliance associates.

Coincidentally, the unfortunate remarks came after opinion polls that show him performing well against his main challengers should the elections proceed to a run-off.

This is a typical manifestation of political opportunism. Musalia’s only interest is how to position himself strategically as a compromise candidate should Eldoret North MP William Ruto and Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta not make it to the ballot.

Ironically, not so long ago, Mudavadi was quoted attacking Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka for using similar tactics. We all know that someone was responsible for the criminal acts perpetrated after the 2007 elections. But you cannot blame the entire nation for these heinous crimes.
