In the Matter of the People of Kenya and the Government
In the matter of the people of Kenya and the government, there is no contest. The established definition of a democracy is, “a government of the people, by the people, and for the people” (Abraham Lincoln, 1863). The government is morally bound to EMBRACE the will of the people. There is no such thing as “my government”. It is the “PEOPLES government”. At best, a leader can only claim,” my administration”. Secondly, there is neither a majority nor minority, it is the AGENDA of the people that must prevail. Third, representatives who defraud the PEOPLE of their VOICE by abandoning the people that elected them, from whatever party and for whatever reason, are in breach of INTEGRITY (Ch.6 Laws of Kenya,2010) and are ethically obliged to apologize to the PUBLIC and stand down for falsifying the will of the PEOPLE.

Absolutely. Nobody owns the government, it's a service to it's shareholders who are the citizens.
ReplyDeleteThe rights of the people is sovereign. The people are the rights holders. The administration are the duty bearers. Their job is to deliver our rights.
ReplyDeleteThe matter of the intergrity of the elected leaders is paramount. During the elections, the voters had a choice between all the political party aspirants. Then they elected one, and rejected the rest. When such an elected leader then goes ahead to denounce his sponsoring party and embrace the views of the party his people rejected, he commits a grave sin against his people. The people must stand up and recall such leaders.
ReplyDeleteI can't agree more!!
DeleteThe honorable choice is to resign first, then seek re-election via the wishful party!!
ReplyDeleteI think people's government, should serve everyone in the nation and not just a few individuals.
