Raila thanked the youth who poured into Makueni in their thousands to stand with one of their own.The former PM also thanked Mutula Jr’s sister Kethi Kilonzo for her fight for the Makueni seat, which he indicated was frustrated by the Jubilee coalition, saying it inspired Makueni residents to come out in their thousands to make their intentions known.
Mutula Kilonzo junior is the Makueni senator elect. The 38-year old lawyer trounced his four opponents in the senate race, with over 163,000 voters giving him a nod to succeed his late father, Mutula Kilonzo senior. The elated senator-elect and his jubilant supporters brought business to a halt in Wote town, shortly after he was declared winner.
Uhuru and his administration are missing the chance to unify a country torn apart by the 2013 General Election and it appears he is being pushed, slowly but inexorably, into a corner. Pretending all is well is living a lie, he must face reality. Government must be seen to protect its citizens In the last three months, bandits have ruled the country by night as the police are rumored to be on a go-slow. The intelligence service is completely ineffectual , unable to arrest perpetrators of these heinous crimes. Rhetoric from those in authority is grating on our ears and the. outspoken governors have painted the Jubilee administration in bad light , accusing it of schemes to kill devolution using the National assembly .Why do you people in Makueni hate the government so much?
You must live outside the country. Times are hard in Kenya and it is all the JUBILEE government's fault.
38 year old senator-elect for Makueni Mutula Kilonzo Junior but Jubilee shot itself in the foot in their spirited attempts to lock out the CORD coalition from participating in it by election at Makueni Senate seat.
Listen to Makueni political opinion about Uhuru Government
But you know this government has been there for a very short time and inherited many problems, how can you blame them?
Makueni Voter: I am not highly educated and so I know nothing about financing and the economy but let me give you examples of what I am trying to say. Kibaki was not as good as Moi but at least he allowed us to work and make a living. This government seems to be very hungry for money, I do not know if donors have stopped sending them money. They are determined to tax unga and other essentials. I do a boda boda business in Nairobi during the day and at my home area at night. During the day city council askaris are harassing the whole day asking for bribes. Then at night the police take over. Since the road block near where I live has now been removed and the cops no longer make money from that, they come to collect our earnings for the day. Life is unbearable. How do you expect me to to like the government.

he examples you have given are about corrupt individuals taking your money, surely that is not the government.
Makueni Voter: But it is the government causing it. They have refused to release money and meanwhile every day they come up with new laws and new ways to take away the little money we have earned through new taxes and rules and regulations that either require us to pay more money or hinder what we are doing tomake money. Kenyans are very hard working people and all we need is to be left alone to hassle and make our money. This JUBILEE government is just bringing about suffering. I fear that very soon we will see what is happening in Egypt happening here because the small man has had enough.
