It is the Opposition that is creating disunity by lying to their blind supporters of being marginalized and being urged to hold on to historical injustices waiting for their savior. Rendile Mkenya

Where does Uhuru government come in, in my relationship with another Kenyan? Relationship is my personal decision. Please let’s face our responsibilities and stop blaming everything on others. Paying bribes is very much my decision. I agree if Government cracked the whip on corrupt institutions, things would turn better. Ruvuma

Uhuru is a non-performer. He hasn’t fixed the corruption monster and neither has he done anything towards bringing Kenyans together other than believing that one party like Jubilee will unite Kenyans. He has done miserably bad on these two but Kibaki was worse and it is true that he squandered the precious opportunity to get Kenya to another level. Philip Ndeta

The leaks show that Uhuru is a very dishonest person. The things he was blaming Kibaki for are the very things he has embraced. The Chinese he was lambasting have become his bosom buddies, and now he does not see their poor workmanship. Sifu Msafiri

In this world, there are two types of people; those who eat meat and those who herd on empty tummy. Forget about your tribe. It won’t give you meat. Okuyu Dada

This is how politicians are. They are naked opportunists. Once they get to power, all the hullabaloos and ideals are forgotten and the real character emerges. I would rate Kibaki a saint compared to Uhuru, though both are open ethnic leaning leaders. If the cables are real, then Uhuru is a turncoat. He betrayed all the ideals he claimed to stand for. Independence of political parties, political freedoms, reforms et al. Rontos

That is the real Uhuru! Now he is trying to turn Kenya into one-party State. Acacia

Reading between the lines, the comparisons do not really make Uhuru a man of doubletalk. ODM-K was advocating dissolution of parties to promote the rise of one person with no clear agenda. JP is for the purpose of uniting Kenyans. Poaching of MPs under Moi and Kibaki was very different from what Uhuru is doing. As for the Chinese, I’m not sure if any African leader has a better option.
