KENYA: SOLDIERS,ONLY OPTION NOW IN NAIROBI
BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU,[LAGOS,NIGERIA]who is really in charge in Kenya
With the possible Outbreak of a full blown civil war in the
horizon in the East African nation of the Republic of Kenya,only the sack of
the entire political system by the nation's Armed Forces remains the only
reasonable option.
No one thought that Kenya's highest court were going to
cancel its initial elections held to separate President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2017
and Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga .
No One thought that if the new polls were conducted Raila
Odinga will go with his threats not to participate if certain stringent
conditions were not met .
Worse still,No one thought that Raila Odinga will declare
himself as President thus providing a
ground for criminal charges of treasonable felony to be preferred
against him.
No one thought that Raila Odinga upon declaring himself as
President of the Nation will be too powerful not to be arrested either even as
the nation's leadership insists investigations were on and Odinga could be
picked up for questioning soon.
While taking a cursory look at the difficult situation in
Nairobi,Kenya,recently ,an impeccable source told the News office Desk of
E.N.M. Paedia Express Multimedia of Lagos,Nigeria that an ethnically based
civil war may likely break out in Nairobi shortlly except the armed forces step
into the fray.
He revealed that for Mr Raila Odinga to have stayed at least
24hours after he had declared himself President even with an incumbent still in
office and not arrested by the security forces
then this goes to show the extent of powers the Former Prime Minister
wields in terms of political clout in Kenya and even beyond.
According to him,what it automatically means is that both
President Uhuru Kenyatta and Mr Raila Odinga both had their loyalists in the
Armed Forces thus making the battle of wits too close to call.
Soldiers in the Kenyan Armed Forces are now expected to
break the duck in the weeks and months ahead to prevent a state of war in the
country.
When in control,the military as expected should declare a
state of emergency[martial law]suspend the nation's constitution ,sack the
parliament ,disband political groups and movement in the country while setting
an agenda for transition after calming the tides for at least two years in
duration.
