Ihave informed consent to voice these thoughts, verbatim as expressed by a valued friend..the one am missing now.BNK uko vipi?
"Kenyans have lost in their justice system,the people they had hoped would be great leaders are now the corrupt kings of impunity.
I was wondering how denying a kenyan minister Visa to the US would benefit kenyans,does it even play a role in stoppin corruption?why do Kibaki and Raila keep saying they will sack the corrupt yet no one has been sacked?or have the two been sucked in too deep into corruption ,tribal politics or are they just impotent?Do they really know the corrupt or their haeds are deep in the oil.ee...e..e..eee.. sand? .For the optimists like me ,they know who did what and who didnt do what!!! so why dont they act?Is there an element of fear?
We(Kenyans) want a new constitution which was promised to us by our leaders since 2002,but if this constitution is going to be based on fear of some of the politicians,we will be bargaining ourself into some deep shit!!!
I listened and watched the other day NCCK calling for elections.It hit me with sudden jolt of a thousand volts that we dont even have an Electoral body to conduct the elections...what a shame!!!!If kibakis copter had done a Garang on him,we would be in a real mess. Our leaders are so vain and ignorant,they have forgotten to put systems for our fall back if the presidency became vacant.
The prime minister backed the students demo because the state needed to show that it would not torelate police impunity perpetuated by the state itself. We all were witnesses to a reaaly "peaceful" demonstration!! He learnt ,.....u cant be a populist all the time,you have to take responsibility!!!He feared he would lose his appeal to kenyans....and he did..Ali came out smelling like roses on Valentines.
Kenyans are afraid,of an eruption of war,of their ever greedy corrupt and uncaring leaders....they rule ,steal and incite ......how long shall we watch as they plunder our nation?
We have let them have their way with no regard for the consequences.They cried ECK to be disbanded,they were furious about how it handled last years' elections...now they fight who is to lead it....no matter an entire constituency is unrepresented in the nationa assembly..perhaps they are better off,even those represented still cry hunger na kadhalika...plus that is one less non-tax compliant MP...begone in the name of jesus...pepo mbaya....
Tribalism according to me isthe fear of being led by a person not from your tribe.The politicians have faithfully watered this fear,since Moi planted the seed....given to him by Kenyatta....thats why we have politicians who are adept at balkanising the country into tribal fiefdoms and organising mass anarchy to be in power...they are not above doing anything to get power!
I am hoping for an OBama when we call for an election ,but it is highly unlikely....mayb a Dj or me and a willing military..just thinking!
