In Africa, we have yet to hold truly free and fair elections and therefore when results are announced the losing side often cry foul. For outsiders it is hard to be sure it is not just because they are bad losers. The truth of the disputed Kenya elections will probably never be known.
The Government of National Unity is clearly not working. Even if the two party were finally agree on power sharing; will they work together? What the people of Kenya want is an effective government to address the nation's many problems. Kenya can not really afford to have a ineffective government for the next four, five years or whenever it is Kenya is due to hold its next elections.
For the good of the country both Kibaki and Odinga should agree on holding fresh election. This time there MUST be outside observers and both parties must make a commitment to accept the results!
