"Former Ghanaian Presid-ent, Jerry Rawlings, has said that the violence that erupted in Kenya over alleged rigging of the election by the incumbent President, Mwai Kibaki, is a protest against neo-colonialism and the imposition of leadership by the West. According to him, Kenyans do not want to go through the same kind of experience again hence their insistence on change.
Speaking to journalists yesterday at the Murtala Mohammed Airport Lagos, Rawlings said: “Kenyans are demonstrating that enough is enough in neo-colonialism. If we have done away with coup d’etat, then let us preserve the integrity of the electoral process. And if we cannot count on the integrity of the electoral process, where do we go? This is happening in many countries in Africa, including my own country.”"
"Also speaking to journalists, the former Ghanaian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Victor Gbeho, who arrived at the airport with Rawlings, said unless the electoral processes in Africa are reviewed, the kind of crisis happening in Kenya would not end.
He said the crises in the African region were due to the failure of electoral processes which are usurped by malpractices and urged the AU to take wade into the political turmoil in Kenya by forming a coalition and organising a re-run of the presidential elections in that country."

Economic Boycotts - ODM Professionals
YOU VOTED FOR CHANGE BUT THEY CHOSE TO TRASH YOUR VOTE!
There are hundreds of thousands of Kenyan professionals who are hardcore supporters of the ODM Movement. You want to be part of the struggle but you don't know how to do that. It is obvious that time has come for political changes in Kenya. For a long time we have been silent and content with the situation, but we cannot be silent anymore, we need to actively participate in the struggle to liberate this country. The ODM Movement just announced their intention to switch from mass action to Economic Boycotts. Economic boycotts are targeted to the middle class and professionals in support of the ODM movement.
Will you be participating in the ODM Economic boycotts?
