Mwai Kibaki had’s more salt to the wounded Kenyans in his speech in Addis Ababa Ethiopia, Fred Obera writes:
Kibaki’s speech in African Union (AU) summit in Addis Ababa Ethiopia has caused another scaring approach to the current humanitarian crisis, and pore cold water on the Annan mediation talks. Kibaki who read in his speech that “those who feel dissatisfied with the election results should seek redress in the court” says Kibaki in the AU summit. ODM leader has dismiss the Mwai Kibaki speech as undermining the ongoing talks to find a lasting solution to the post election violence in the country.
Despite such utterance speech by Mwai Kibaki, the ODM leader has demanded an apology from Kibaki to assure the ODM and Annan mediation committee that he’s fully committed to the Annan led mediation talks. The opposition leader Raila Odinga also demanded that Mwai Kibaki to apologize to Kenyans for his remarks at the Africa Union summit in Addis Ababa Ethiopia. Kibaki also accused the ODM through his speech that they were behind the post election violence that he claimed was premeditated.
The opposition and the Mediation team led by Kofi Annan wants the government side to beleive that the election was rigged. And that the problem in the country is neither an ethnic cleansing but politcal crisis which needs not only dialogue and mediation, but a political solution. And the solution is to form an interim government and latter reconstituting the constituition, or enact the already Boma Draft Constituion which was written by the people of Kenya,then a new election can be called again. Where Kibaki and Odinga can face each other again.
Meanwhile, Kenyans are eagerly waiting.
