Fellow Kenyans,

I do ask this stupid question just because of the situation we have now in Kenya. Our country is so much rich, in fact we do have a lot. Look at even the dialects God gave us, we do have over 40 tribes and languages. I do consider that as a gift. Just image if we had wise leaders and open just even a faculty in University exploring those languages, how many of our people would land jobs?, so many. And in Africa alone we have over 1500 languages, so you can just imagine what I am trying to say. On Natural resources or raw materials, Africa is so much gifted with almost any mineral on earth. It is still a pity that the only country in Africa which exploits its minerals and does NOT export them as such is only South Africa. The rest of African countries export raw material as if they do not know what to do with them. And later end up buying them from USA or Europe at prices so high that even the miners themselves can not afford. How many Kenyans can buy Citroen, BMW or MB or their own aeroplanes etc?.

God gave us almost everything except good leaders. PNU is now like an army full of lions but commanded by an ass. A clever man said that if you want to win the battle you better have an army made up of asses and commanded by a lion. Kibaki can not demote his ministers, even Uhuru Kenyatta is now saying that he will not leave his ministry. These people do not know that they are just MPs and the ministry is completely a different thing all together. Kibaki is not a good leader, a leader who states his good intentions, but does not take action to make them real is not needed. He talks readily about good intentions, but talk, by itself does nothing. A leader must take action to become a good leader, and to today we see that Kibaki is an ass and these Martha, Uhuru, Kalonzo, Michuki etc are lions.

God gave us a very good continent and a very good country, Kenya is nicely geographically placed, if we had wisdom we could have exploited it a lot, and the past 44 years after independence we would have jumped a head of China, South Korea, Europe etc. But what do we have today, A DYSFUNCTIONAL MESS. Imagine a Kenyan child born prematurely, lives without an incubators, sometimes doctors gives them only 3 months life expectancy, but this girl or boy survives all those odds and grow up and become somebody or sometimes end up dying from a policeman`s bullet in Nyalende (Kisumu) or Kibera (Nairobi) fired by a fellow poor Kenyan who went through the same circumstances. All these has happened in Kenya during the shoot to kill policies, in fact it is even sad to see that it is somebody from USA or Europe who comes to save these people`s lives. We Kenyans are deeply rooted in our old traditions and has made us so hopeless that we are hardly fit enough to survive in our God given us environment.

Advice to the ODM, do not be trapped into this stupid election euphoria PNU is calling now, Kibaki was asked in January to accept a new re-run but refused. Nothing good will a new election bring if PNU is controlling the ministry of justice and constitutional affairs, Defense, Finance, internal security, the president is appointing the ECK etc. Unless you ODM are ready for a civil war after that election.

Paul,

You said it well. Our real let down is leadership. Look at what is happening now, Kibaki and Co. are shameless in trying to monopolize power even when it is clear who lost and who won the election. ArapMibei or ArapOdinga won as every one knows. yet too much time is wasted on stupid negotiations which are going nowhere. Even if they agreed on ministries today, it will be difficult for the two to work together. Kibaki gives 2.5% to CDF Raila wants to give 60%. Raila spent most of his life fighting status Quo even in detention; Kibaki on the other hand, is “the status Quo” and architect of the current oppressive system. This kind of revolution is what would change things in Kenya and in Africa. Power in Africa is concentrated on personality instead of the people. Do you guys see any similarities between Kibaki and Mugabe and many other African leaders? Listen to T.Mbeki, he thinks Zimbabwe should be left alone. Really? That is Africa. We are blessed in Kenya because we are strategically placed so that every one needs our stability so they can reach their interests. That is how every one came to our aid. Friends, there is hope because international community is on our side. But what is going to happen if no deal is reached? I believe fresh elections will be the answer.

PNU seems to have some hidden agenda going on. They claim to have sent 48 “specially trained DOs” to Rift Valley. When and where were they trained? Who trained them? Where? Due to this kind of issues, lies and propaganda, I do not think it is healthy to co-exist with these people anymore. They claim violence was pre-planned and pre-meditated “only” in Rift Valley just because that is where their interests “land” was most affected. This will never be accepted nor will it work as they think. Jaramogi tried and was kicked out. Moi came and followed NYAYO, so he narrowly survived. We need leaders who will break the status quo and start a people’s revolution. But most importantly, common citizens must be empowered to achieve success.

Dear Paul,

Our failure is in management. It’s not about available resources. Much intelligence has been wasted over this issue.

Gichaba,

Thanks for your comment. Mr. Gichaba, I do think we are missing a lot. It doesn`t have to take normal functioning human beings with brains over 44 years to get what is wrong with the system. Our country has been free from the British colonist for now over 44 years do you think we luck only management?. Okey let me agree with you once in my lifetime that we have failed in management, BUT can you explain to me why we have failed in management if we are not Damn loosers in a diamond treasures?. Look at even the Kenyan Ugandan railway, it is still the same one line the British left, in fact they used the coolies from India to build it, not even Africans.

All those claiming to be intelligent Kenyans should sit down to decide the fate of our country, this should be done regardless of your tribe, whether luo, Kikuyu, Kalenjin, Kamba, Kisii, Luhja, Nandi, Mijikenda, masai etc. In fact a minister does not have to be an MP, it can be any personality with good profession on the type of ministry he is assigned to. We should burry all our differences and do something for our future, in fact Africa is pathetic, and the African image outside or even inside Africa is degrading. Other continents are moving forward except an African. Even foreign embassies in Africa are already tired of supplying visas to Africans who want to leave the continent for greener pastures outside Africa. Africans beg from the simplest poor man up to the president. Our Presidents, vice presidents, minister, Mps, politicians keep on begging for help and development as if they do not have brains themselves to promote development, they beg even for money. This time it will be from the British or French, the next time it is from the Chinese or Indians, But the whole thing is the same BEGGING for help. They are not better than those street beggers you see in Nairobi. In fact when they come to Europe or USA sometimes even fellow country men outside are even a shamed to attend their meetings except a few from their tribes who are not ashamed of their beggings. Some have already saying that Black is the color but non is the number. I hope you get what I do mean.
