Brain. Anyhow. Here's what that cool hacker has to say:
Dear President,
I think maybe you were a little rough on Raila in that item on your blog. You're still operating under some very old ideas about politics and how to operate. The landscape has really changed since the days of your "Big Brother" Kenyatta. In fact one reason for Ruto's visit was to reach out to you and explain a bit about the new ways of doing things. These days we're all about sharing and openness, Kibaki (ouch). We're driving the Vijana Tugutuke revolution. We really believe that no one community or political class has a monopoly on others. That's why we're reaching out to people all around the country and encouraging them to sign over their LIVES and let us put their brilliant ideas to work in the goverment we will form. Why do you hoard your marvelous wealth and those fantastic Range rovers (NOT SURE WHAT HE MEANS)? Why do you keep the workings of your government secret? Think how much more valuable those things would be if you would stop hoarding them and just let anyone have them for free.
I know it sounds upside down at first. But here at the new ODM we're all about taking your hard work and intellect and using it to help our countrymen. I know. You're thinking, Wait a minute. What the fuck? You want me to do all the work, and you get all the fame and credit ? A lot of people balk at this. Hey, I was there once too. But that's the old way of thinking, Kibaki. The world is changing. Dinosaurs like you are becoming extinct. Today it's all about maximizing responsiveness, accelerating speed of information and responding to the electorate.
The elector is now in charge. And what those people are demanding is what you give them, full stop. We've done huge amounts of research on this. We asked, who do you want to be president? Kept getting the same answer: NYUNDO. Well, ODM is listening to the citizens and responding to that dynamic and evolving youth electorate. Whether those ideas come from inside ODM, Vijana-Tugutuke or from outside our walls doesn't matter. It's kind of like how scientists work, or academics, by standing on the shoulders of giants. You give us a gigantic idea, we're not going to compete against it, or try to kill it. We're going to take it from you, jump on its shoulders, and use it. We're open.
It's a new world, Kibaki. So what do you say? Are you gonna be a change agent? Will you embrace the disruption? Can we count on you to jump in and join us for the big win?
PS: Am good, will you hire me.
yours sincerely,
James Kamau Okello
Well, well, that is the big letter. Okello or whatever your name is can you please decide what you want to be, my advisor, my competitor or another ODM fanatic, you can never be all. And my dear young man, its always good to have some manners and address your seniors with at least a Mr., before their name.
I put your letter here for the interest of the public, let them have their say. Meanwhile I have changed my e-mail address and had the former deleted from the system and NO, I'll not hire you!
