KENYA A PARIAH-FAILED STATE
DR. KIPRONOH RUTTOH

Jambo every one,

I am bemused and I am watching the great circus, taking place in Kenya. If only there were leaders, Kenya would not have been in this shame full episodes! when we should have been holding our heads high and proudly proclaiming ourselves as great people and one nation, we are, but placed in a situation-rather a nightmare, that has left us recoil in shame.

Do we have leaders in Kenya today? or have we, ( Kenyans ) ever had
leaders? Not so! The current group of men are busy tearing Kenya apart, when they open their mouths they broadcast to all their ignorance!

For instance, when the USA tried to offer advise, they were told off. By
non other than Prime Minister Odinga, and his chief silly lieutenant, the
Minister of foreign affairs, Moses Wetangula.

The whole planet knows that the President of America has had the best of good will to Kenya, not even the fact that he is a Kenya and Kenya’s blood runs through his veins, would be enough, to shut the mouths of the fools.

Alas, it is Kenya, that was the only one with no brains to discern! This
nation has no bearing and totally lack any perception of what a nation out to do! The very idea of being one and what Unity entails, does not exist in the mind and language of Kenya.

Let us delve into the Mau Issue. If Kenya had intelligent leaders, the
shame and horrors that we are seeing now on the highways from Mau would not have existed.

All Kenyans want a better Kenya, not a desert. But how to go about is a difference. Lack of leaders, and having fools to run the nation is what we are witnessing today!

Many of you will be screaming about President, well Kenya has no President, what we have is a lame old and worn out relic of ancient times. Irrelevant to Kenya of today. He is waiting for his time to end, further more, you all know that he is not functioning upstairs!

For Kibaki to have allowed Mr. Moi to deceive him, even though he knew how Mr. Moi wanted him to fail is a tale with no comparison! Intelligent men does not accept that, to happen in their watch.

A man who loves his people and his country, would not steal from his
citizens, like what is happening in Kenya.

The picture I am talking about is this: Citizens thrown out on the streets year in , year out! Was it not 2005 when the last eviction happened? why was this problem not addressed?

We have the Prime Minister robbing the nation in broad day light, yet he has courage to kick out the citizens! and scatter them on the streets! then go into his home to eat and sleep and say he is a great leader? Is this what Kenya can come up with?

Raila Odinga lives like this:

His home – Runda Gated ( Mbwa Kalied ) area

His Constituency-Kibera Slums ( World’s Greatest )

His other People / IDP, Mau evictees and Squaters

His income KSh. 1 500 000.00 / Monthly salary

400 000.00 / allowance

33 400 000.00 / house beautification 2009

55 000 000.00 / house party 2010

77 000 000.00 / house party 2011

? ? ?000 000.00 / house party 2012

His office 700 000 000.00 / Building only not furnished

His car free

His gas ( Benzene-Petrol ) free

Total income, $10,896,042.48 ( USD ), ( Yes it is over Ten million,
American dollars ) in nation as poor as Kenya!

Is this what a wise leader does?

If Prime Minister and Wekesa, the minister were wise, or even if they had a little intelligence, they would have first gotten funds ready to transport and feed their fellow Kenyans-Evicted from Mau.

Where would the money have come from, you may ask! Well check the BBC WEB page, 1 Billion Pounds were given to Nigeria for the re integration of the Delta residences and enhancement of peace. By the European Union. Kenya only needed to ask.

Egypt was willing to offer any help that is needed to keep the Rivers
flowing into the Lake! No one bothered to do any thing!

Why? was it not done? The thing is, there is going to be an Oslo meeting in December, and the Prime Minister, had to pull a fast one on the Mau, tribes, the idea is that he will use the eviction of the alleged destructive (Squatters ) to ask for money to replant the Mau.

Right now, a Contingent of an all Kikuyu, Youth are in Canada training as tree planters. They are leaving for Kenya in December 8, 2009. They were in Canada for 3 Months!

This is the reason why there will never be serious assistance for the mau evicted People! money is needed for important projects, such as the Prime Ministers House parties, and executive offices.

I have noted with amusement, the discussions on this forum. One in
particular is this:

: HOW DO POLITICIANS LIKE THE MAU PICTURE NOW ”

Some people are very forgetful. A symptomatic amnesiac behaviour that this nation is cursed with! So many of the writers are telling the Mau Evictees that they are not of any use. And to any other individual, it is this; how dare you to point out the mistakes of Dinga!

It is very sad to see all that we had hoped to achieve going down the
drainage hole of stupidity and ignorance!

Barack Abonyo was trying to raise a true sound and reasonable idea about how a responsible gouvernment and leaders ought to treat the citizens, but all seems lost in a blind following of a leader abandoning the nation!.

Is this what Kenya is all about? Judge by your self:

” better join the kalenjin council of elders (war council). we are ready
for u guys ” bobby, Nov 18th, 2009 at 1:00 am
,

To add on to what Nduko said, the kalenjin have also benefited from other kenyans for a long time , if they did not use their benefits/advantage to uplift their lives , then they should just have them selves to blame. we the rest of kenyans also want to benefit from our environment at least coz that is all we can get back. we can not always use our sweat/tax to support them, we also need bullet factories in kisumu incase they attack us when we tell them not to cut down trees.

How is this attitude going to built a better Kenya for all of her people?

I grew up in Nyahera, Ogada, I went to Ogada Primary school, and my Sunday teacher was Erasto Seda, the father of the late Dr. Ouko Seda. I know how much potential the Luo people have. I learnt fluently the” Dholuo ” And Luos to me have been my brothers and sisters.

Today, however, I am heart broken, unless the Prime Minister does a drastic change, I can say Kenya has lost a very golden opportunity to shine.

Can some one wise, give words of wisdom to Mr. Prime Minister, he has to listen to peoples’ cry. I can not have, even a faintest courage, to go and cast another vote for him when there are so much sorrow being subjected to certain group of Kenyans-And to my very own people, my brothers and sisters!
