KENYA’S GREATEST NEED

That Kenya is not doing well is not in doubt. The steps to lift Kenya out of the mud are also not in doubt. The biggest question is: who is it that will organize Kenyans for the needed change?
Can Kibaki lead Kenya out of the quagmire? Can Uhuru do it? What about Kalonzo, Ruto or Balala? What about KKK? Can Raila do it?
This is a tough question that any Kenyan who is able to hear, talk, read
and write should be asking himself or herself.
I might not be able to directly give an answer but Kenya needs men and women in its leadership who are principled, patriotic and can neither be bought nor sold. People who can stand for truth even though the world around them is crumbling. People who see all Kenyans as equals. People who have a vision for the nation, a vision that is not overshadowed by personal greed and tribal feelings.
How I wish religious leaders stood up and enlightened the nation on the
profile of a good leader.
Poor Kenyans! Can’t Kenya still be Kenya with a fresh crop of politicians.
Must we stick with the stale Nyayo left overs and white elephants? Must the scions of the stale past continue? Ask the agronomists and they will tell you pruning is a good practice.
Oh! you tech savvy enlightened Kenyans, I wish you enlightened Kenyans on good governance and good leadership instead of the tribal craps we normally read. Tell them that the vote is to be used for political prunning- be it at a referendum or general election.
Tell them to chant every day: Long Live Kenya! Down with the Tribalists!
Down with the Corrupt! Down with the unprincipled and down with the
anarchists such that by 2012, the tribalists, corrupt, unprincipled and
anarchist would be swept away from the political landscape.
If that happens, it would be the best revolution for Kenya.
DANCE AND SING ”DOWN WITH IMPUNITY!”
With impunity we shall never develop as a country since it only sinks us farther and deeper into more quagmire and more painful impunity. Every time we act with impunity in dealing with fellow Kenyans, the relations suffer great blows, and in doing so, makes life not only unbearable but regrettable, and when that happens, then our future is built on quicksand.
But the consolation is that the arrogant masters of impunity, the arrogant tribal ”grabbologists”, are definitely on the wrong side of history, since the oppressed are protected by none other than God Almighty.
May the great God save Kenya from politico-economic wolves!
