[aposhe83]

may his groinal area be attacked by a million ticks and may his arms become so short so that he could not scatch the ticks off...with that, lets see if lucy kibaki would still go around slapping men. dont thinks so

[ounzaj]

oath of eligience

[Abufanna]

Kibaki though it was easier than this to rigg an election and get away with it. He has learnt a better lesson now. I wonder if he consulted with Y Musaveni before he went ahead his election on how to conduct a phony elections. If he did his friend might not have not told him everything!!!

[anwar068]

Do the right thing kibaki and resign

[awhuds]

the writing is on the kenyan wall Mr. Kibaki. You can pretend to be illiterate but that doesnt change the wordings written very clearly. YOU ARE ON BORROWED (STOLEN) TIME!!!

[jbgk07]

great day for kenya as kenneth marende whose first ruling as speaker showed his wisdom.with such kind of debates at the national assembly,kenyans should expect less of the previous quorum hitches.

[tektotar]

The new Speaker in the 10th parliament in his speech categorically indicated that in a democratic process,indeed the right leaders are elected.How do you feel Mr.President sitting pretty yet the 27th elections were flawed...no,no,no...as Ruto put it,STOLEN!!

We wont rest until what's rightfully ours is given to us! Let th sun not set on our country but the conflict. Amanda!

[khbcweb]

Kibaki lost the election - he rigged it. He wanted to rig in the speaker of the house - he lost it! Should he not be packing his paraphenalia to ready himself for his departure? Kibaki do the right thing. Resign!

No sharia law.

No sharia law.

[vsafder]

kibaki should now open his eyes to the reality of peoples choice and step down to save the country from civil strife.

[jbgk07]

vsafder, kenya is bigger than any individual. special in its own way and can never (so help us God) go down to a civil war.

[adikiny]

The opposition has again won. This time in front of everybody: Kibaki, Raila and representatives from all over the country. This is a turning point, a great day which has saved DEMOCRACY. With less power in Parliament, Kibaki is soon going to be obliged to face the hardest test, the NO CONFIDENCE VOTE that can be cast in Parliament where the People are represented by their REPRESENTATIVES.

[jbgk07]

adikiny,it would be highly unlikely for MPs to go for a vote of NO CONFIDENCE.if passed,parliament would be dissolved and all MPs would have to seek fresh mandate from the electorate.some of them won on tightest of margins and are now facing election petitions.if they go down this road, they risk losing there seats at the august house.they are sellfish and we all know.

[adikiny]

The Parliamentarians and even Kibaki's team are indeed selfish but I think the Will of the people is very strong. The People will eventually have their own way and remove one obstacle after another. Nothing will resist the Will of the People. The Military or Police need the People because no country in the world will have economic ties with Kenya if the People are oppressed.

[waruibuff]

stop these unnecessary protests and get on with life. seek a new way to get Kibaki out. what people are oppressed? the people who are oppressed are those who are trying to feed their families in peace. wacha ujinga. MP's will get paid rain or shine. they will never put food on your plate.

[adikiny]

I agree with you that MPs will always get paid whether the president is a legitimate or illegitimate one. If we had military rule then the millions used on paying MPs salaries could be used for building projects that would replace the slams. Do we really need MPs?
