Politicians in Kenya joining Jubilee party are only doing ‘Politics of the Stomach’

Dear President Uhuru Kenyatta, I want to congratulate you for your exceptional leadership since you entered the office till now. Your presidency has displayed magnificent level of rationality in all the political choices you have made. I regard you for this. I also want to commend your leadership for generosity, both at political and personal level. Especially for the receipt of new people that have disbanded their political parties to join Jubilee Alliance Party.

However, Mr. President the people breaking down their political parties to join your political bandwagon are not socially valuable in any way whatsoever. They are only doing politics of the stomach with a strong focus on winning their targets come the next general election. They believe they will gain by winning an elective position because of your influence. Mr. President, this is technically wrong, any person doing politics because he wants to use political socialization as a source of his food and cheap success is an enemy of democracy. And hence the politicians and quasi-politicians that have massively dissolved their political parties to join the party of President Uhuru Kenyatta are the key enemies of Kenya and its posterity. They are supposed to know that President Kenyatta does not need a company of unsecure politicians; he already has support of the people of Kenya both within and in the diaspora for his consistency in giving a political chance to the voice of reason. In contrast, the politicians switching from one party to another are only expressing their avarice by hastily moving from one political party to another so that they don’t miss a chance for their turn to eat come the next general election.
