Moses Wetang’ula a promising leader

As political parties entertain intolerance and constantly read the riot act to dissenters, Ford-Kenya, led by Leader of Minority in the Senate Moses Wetang’ula, remains an advocate of true democracy. Every party leader deplores discord and divergent opinion, but their statements fail to express similar concern for the conditions that bring about the resentments. None of them would want to rest content with the superficial kind of social analysis that deals merely with effects and does not grapple with underlying causes.

It is unfortunate that opposition is practical within political parties, but it is worse that their power structure leaves opposers with no panacea but dismissals, threats and rhetoric. Over the years, Wetang’ula has demonstrated abilities and superior intellect in and out of Parliament, with mature and objective debates. He is superbly erudite, brilliant, certifiably articulate, charismatic and thoughtful. He isn’t just precise and capable of holding complex discussions – he is an inimitable wordsmith.
