SHOULD ELECTIONS BE HELD NOW?



Majority of Kenyans are unhappy with the Kibaki Government. A section of the ODM leadership have issued demands for snap elections. Will that be the right thing to do? Can we afford another election, so soon after the referendum?

Here is a sample of the demands by Orange Democratic Leaders as reported in 'The Standard '

Former Cabinet minister Raila Odinga said: "President Kibaki’s house is on fire and we have the capacity to do what we want to do".
And his colleague, Kalonzo Musyoka, added: "2006 will be the year of an election. If you have any doubt ask me.
"That will not be a snap election. It will be proper elections."
The Mwingi South MP told the Government "to expect fireworks".
"We know the President is not going to call snap elections, but he can only be made to do it


Will this be the right thing to do? Post your comments!!!
