STATE OF THE NATION.
I been starting,re-starting,and re -re-starting the opening of this article since last night until i finally decided to forget about introduction,flow, plot,body,conclusion and just let my fingers do the talking in any way whatsoever,so long as i get to vent (for lack of venomous word)the bile that is eating me as a Kenyan citizen.
When i wake up to massacre of my brothers,sisters,mothers,fathers,my children and the only answer that Minister lenku has to offer is an accusation on the opposition side,i don't shed a tear!I pray!I pray hard, that the earth may be kind enough to crack open and wholesomely swallow my beloved country and its people alive,because our own government will eventually slaughter us all, one by one,as softly as it is doing already.
No this is not an article,just my raw thoughts running unstructured on a paper, and as an opening to this paragraph,i will give a hint for free, to the government that has continuously proved;common sense are mostly uncommon to the most learned and entitled.
His "highness" the opposition leader,Mr.Raila is a strategist,a two-timer,a dirty player,a hyena that is so hungry for a kill and power, who will till the end of his days, remain a toothless barking bulldog! but! He cannot afford the Al-shabaab or their like.
Raila is not responsible for the mpeketoni Massacre!He may afford a grenade at the super highway or explosives at the Gikomba market,but he cannot afford the mercenary,artillery and the anarchy hailed to Lamu.
My point,Lenku,go back to hospitality,go home or wherever you may find an opening,get off the interior Ministry!Go away.Please!
That takes me to the second paragraph,Mr.President,seriously?Seriously?
What the hell are you doing in state house?
Oh my God!Sir,You are a total disappointment to Kenya!
You are clueless,powerless,and governance-less! Having been brought up in royalty,i thought authority should be your second nature! Oh Lord! Good grief is an understatement.
Get a grip,read the constitution,know your roles,your obligations,your rights,your powers!We want a Leader,Kenya need a leader! Whether you will be a dictator or a democrat or whatever,,just be someone!Something!Tangaza msimamo. Stop being a Kalonzo! We want to see your mark,to see your uproar in action! Be a leader,not a boy who inherited presidency and hence spend each and every airtime defending his luck! You worked hard on the campaign trail,you fought for this,you put money and resource and time and sacrifices and yourself for a win!YOU WON A GENERAL ELECTION,IT WAS NOT HANDED TO YOU! Start acting like it!
And for Kenyan Sake,get some experienced people in this cabinets!!!Ask His Honorable Mwai Kibaki why he kept the likes of Muthaura next to him.Why Moi kept Bonaya Godana at his armpits! Why a name like Nicholas Biwott remains synonymous to Kenya's first three presidents. Forget the Scrap Book,Get real men in these office! The kind of men and women that hold porker night every Friday(in a den that even you Mr.President, will require some encrypted code to get in) smoking cigars,counting Billions and running the show behind closed doors. Get some real leather,accountability,autocracy,autonomous and power in the ministries.
Call Mr.Moi and Kibaki,You are obviously in dire need!Get the ball rolling already.Otherwise, it is not the opposition who will edge you out!
And one more thing,Get our solders out of Somalia!!!They are dying,we are dying!Are you doing the math Mr.President?Because from where i stand,this is a very very very -Ve equation.
Lastly Mr.President,get back to bed with the west! Please! Stop playing the naive bride,you are better than that.Stop playing hard to get,you are not that good! And while your shine and beauty has lost so much value,you still stand a chance. Beg,cry,crawl,compromise,whatever it takes!You have to repair the relationship between Europe,America and Kenya! This is not for you,This is for Kenya! So do this for us!
While we appreciate the smiley groom from the East,he is too nice to be trusted!He is the Mr.Nice guy that sleeps with your wife,breeds you kids and you never suspect.Haven't you heard the wise saying,keep your enemies closer?!
My third and final paragraph goes to you Mr.Raila.Yours will be short.
You know,you the, "know it all" kind of person.What you do not realize,is you have solutions only to the problems you cause.
I respect you,a lot! I do agree with you,we need dialogue,its actually long overdue.But you need to stop with this your revolutionary ideas!
You fought for the constitution,you have it,you advocated for independent institutions,you got it. You got all you served and were detained for.
Would you please be Kenyan enough to let Kenya be? Stop terrorizing us,we are being terrorized enough already as it is.
Please.
For a global spectator,i see a situation whereby, when the Kenyan Army get tired of the chaos and madness running around in this country,they will take over.
Am 25yrs,and i do not need to be a historian to know the repercussions of Militarism and military rule.
Just a question to our leaders,is this what we want for Kenya?
Thank you.
