It is very dissapointing that Kalonzo Musyoka cited Somali and South Sudan national dialogues as examples when answering a journalist question at orange house when CORD luminaries called a press conference to clarify what they actually meant when they placed an embargo on the ruling caolition to host a national dialogue conference.
It is common knowledge that Somalia and South Sudan are states dogged with war because of individuals personal egos and it is not wrong to conclude - based on Kalonzo assertions - that the national dialogue after all is not about the mwananchi but rather about individuals who were competing for a certain position and need closure over the issue of 2013 elections.
The issues raised by CORD have been in existence in Kenya for a very long time. Indeed there is no time in the history of Kenya that Kenyans were so divided tribally than in the build-up to 2007 elections. CORD cannot therefore accuse the UhuRuto government of being tribal yet they themselves exhibited tribal-tendencies (as far as govt. appointments are concerned) when sharing their mkate nusu in the grand coalition.
The question is - If at all Jubilee agrees to talks, will CORD be the proverbial camel that asked the owner of the tent to shelter its head and eventually threw the owner out?
If at all some solutions to Kenya's problems were found during the national debate, will CORD demand to implement them?
UhuRuto government should not agree to national dialogue. Agreeing to it will be akin to admitting, that they are not up to task, or more bluntly not able to rule Kenya.
