The CURSE of DISCRIMINATING Erastus Mwencha (Kisii) CATCHES UP with Uhuru as Amina Mohammed LOSSES BADLY at the Africa Union Elections

By Rita O
Jubilee people have this cliche “all politics is local” that is why for them Amina being Kenyan is more important than the fact that she does not represent the spirit or interest of Kenyans in the AU. It’s the same mindset that informs the position of a few tribes sitting at the leadership helms of 70% if not 90% of key institutions and parastatals. ‘Mtu wetu’
She does however represent that of one or two families/ tribes.

I am not for or against her(I have no vote in the matter) but I believe Africa Union needs a strong leadership and she is not it. Did you see ECOWAS in action concerning Gambia?

Before you drag my womanhood here please bear with me as I am generally very disinterested in her candidature and I fully equate Uhurus engagement with Rutos shuttle diplomacy against the ICC.

How was she more qualified than this gentleman?
Erastus J.O. Mwencha, EGH; MBS, the Kenyan current Deputy Chairperson of the African Union Commission. A Pan Africanist with over thirty years of progressive experience in policy formulation and institutional transformation at national, regional and continental levels in Africa.

Mr. Mwencha was elected in January 2008, as Deputy Chairperson of the African Union Commission by the Heads of State and Government of the 54 Member States of the African Union and re-elected to the same position in July 2012 with an overwhelming vote of 98%.

Now, with a Kenyan already holding such a high position in the African Union Commission, and with support from 98% of the Heads of State and Government of the 54 Member States of the African Union, won’t it be prudent for the Kenyan President and his Deputy to support him for the Chairmanship of the African Union Commission? That is, if the driving factor in all this is 1) Qualification and 2) The desire for an East African to be the AUC chairmanship? Ted

Finally I really don’t like NGOese, but what does this vagueness of a vision really mean? What is she promising to deliver?
