As the former UN Secretary General comes in to sort out the muddle that is our nation currently, I can’t help but wonder – will he achieve much? True, the team he’s going to work with is composed of very notable and worthy individuals. So the peace-brokering team is quite a force to reckon with.
The problem is, are the two parties in the fray ready to sit down and talk? Because if only one side is willing, then all this will be nothing short of a Public Relations gimmick or shenanigan.
John Kufuor apparently didn’t achieve much due to time constraints, according to Madam Graca Machel. So does that mean that this group will have the luxury of adequate time to broker a lasting ceasefire?
I pray that they do. Because if they don’t, then the bloodletting will continue, the power-hungry will continue irritating and mocking the citizenry and the losers will continue popping up on our TV screens and radio talk shows in a bid to seem relevant and important.
Please Mr. Odinga and Kibaki – give Kofi Annan and his team a chance! That’s all that Kenyans can ask for.
