Maybe. Especially if the holder sticks
to the letter of the principles scripted on its fore.
That’s the challenge. And if he’s to
surmount it he should smartly play the game and avoid too much rhetoric. If he
don’t do that this guy would fall into the same abyss that has often swallowed hyped
new-dawn parties formed in the past.
Mr Raphael Tuju, (an angel?), is holding
a pot, or so he says. Na ako POA sana, as in he’s so in the Party Of
Action; he’s the party’s presidential candidate. This pot is full of promises
he says he will fulfil, angelically, if elected the president of Kenya in the coming
elections. And as per the vigour and vivacity he showed when he launched this
pot, he seemed to be the perfect candidate for Kenya, albeit theoretically.
Practically, he may need to spice further the cuisine in the pot so that many could
taste and cast the vote for him.
New-dawn promising parties are not
strange to Kenyans. Every Spring two or more have sprung; all promising Heaven
but failing to deliver, instead freely submitting Kenyans to Hell and leaving
them there for proprietor Lucifer to maul them through vicious skyrocketing
food prices, pungent tribal disenchantment, incitement against rivals, and such
deadly ones as 2007/08 atrocity.
POA may or may not be one of those
parties which trapped the hearts of the masses as their Tsunami-like fame swept
across the nation. However, its true identity lies in the future- the holder of
truths-and not what’s emphasised now. Not even the eloquence says all. What’s
done after eloquently delivering the message in a well pampered speech matters
most and says it all.
The pot is squarely in Tuju’s court. He
can choose to smash the pot into pieces and pour out the cuisine in front of hungry and
angry Kenyans or hold it tightly and protectively smear it with attractive, glittering aromatic jelly then let fellow Kenyans feed from it in due time.
Before then, he should know that with
the launch of this Party, Kenyan’s scepticism on politicians continues to grow
and explode further. Why? Simply because since time immemorial with every
launch of a new political party, a new dawn is proclaimed, a new beginning is declared.
To this date such is done. A pure reflection of the ineffectiveness of the
new-dawn parties that have kept promising fresh starts but failing on it before
their second footstep.
Tuju has the choice of choosing the
right choice. Hope what he chooses help his course and improve popularity of his
‘Pot of an Angel’, seriously Party of Action.
