Economic Sanctions on Kenyan Government
This petition was published by James Wabwire on Jan 29, 2008
We the undersigned, call on the UN, EU, AU, IGAD, COMMESA and the US to diplomatically Isolate the Government of Kenya.
The Government of Kenya as Currently Constituted does not represent the aspirations of majority of Kenyans who voted 26 Ministers of 34 of the Kibaki government out of parliament. ODM the opposition party has the majority of seats in parliament.
Under our constitution ODM should form the government. However, Mr. Kibaki fraudulently crafted an illegitimate government by coopting Mr. Kalonzo Musyoka who miserably lost in his bid to the Presidency. It is a coalition for convenience and does not in any way address the aspirations of Kenyans. Kenyans, until now have no idea how the post election pact between ODM-K, PNU and KANU was made. What principles were the bedrock for the coalition. How these competing parties were able to converge their divergent policies in a record of 5 days after the fraudulent elections.
Kenyan people are frustrated at the lack of information, inability to meet and discuss freely, they are frustrated by a corrupt Judiciary and equally brutal police force. It is these frustrations coupled with selective and preferential treatment of certain communities and the expense of the taxpayers that has led to the violence you see in Kenya today.
We call upon you friends of Kenya to isolate this fraudulent government, even as we mediate to solve the crisis; to use international law standards to demand that Justice be done in Kenya. Otherwise Kenya will become yet another statistics in the failed states. Indeed, if the agenda of a party is to stay in power irrespective of the views of her citizens then, such a people can as well bid goodbye to a Nation. The Kenyan People are bruised and are counting on your support to reinstate their democratic right - the Right to Life.
