Muhutha

good points.

i will only add this critical statement:

WE ARE THE PROBLEM. the politicians figured that out long time ago.

thats why they play with us over and over again, using tribe, using class, using region and using favors.

Tell me this:

How is it that a person who served MOI's cabinet for 20 years as MP and Senior Minister and Kibaki's govt as Minister and VP can have his constituency rely on relief food year after year after year?

It kind of reminds me of AWORI as VP for Kibaki for 4 years and Minister for MOI for 24 years and yet his constituency BUDALANGI is one of the poorest in Kenya ans year after year dealt with over flooding.

So what we have is a GRAND SCHEME of THEIVES. they are eating and eating well with no shame or care. you see, while the IDP's are languishing in poverty and injustice, KIBAKI has time to go to Mombasa for 14-days with his whole CLAN-FAMILY and spend 70-m Kshs. Raila has time to go to Bondo and ululutate all over Western Kenya in homecoming parties funded by the same poor people and KALONZO has time to go play soccer hobbies and mwamuko dance with the same poor people. What a travesty. Nobody cares. If I was an IDP now, I would buy an AK-47 and plan with others to mow down these leaders. why should they have to wait for justice and resettlement. Kweli MATIBA was right, KIBAKI is toothless and myopic.

but ask yourself, why do we vote for such people time and again? beacuse we are the PROBLEM. they know we are.

we fall for tribes, for religion, for regions, for money, for relief food, for little things.

UNTIL KENYANS WAKE UP, EXPECT NO REAL CHANGE.

That is the message from Rasnah Warah!!!

Didnt Maathai try to warn us? Didnt KOIGI do the same? Didnt Okullu try to warn us? Didnt Otunga also try and warn us?

Bu didnt listen. And we are paying the price!!!

And sadly, the DIASPORA is as useless as the people back home. One needs to look at the current state of the diapora organizations and realize how much negative and destructive baggage we have borrowed from motherland-Kenya.

Picture this one Raila addresing a rally in his constituency says he has not wavered in his stand against corruption, but wait a minute he is PM in a goverment rocked by one scandal after the other. Instead of asking what he has or is doing about it the crowd applauds.

This happens every day Mr Raila is just a recent case in point. Those hungry people should actually come and camp at statehouse private residences of our entirely corrupt so called leaders

Kibaki's legacy is infratructural development

Muhuthia,
To others, Kibaki's legacy will be IDP, ethnic cleansing, and unchecked corruption.

Muhuthia,
In your last post. I would be proud to have such a legacy, but would paraphrase it thus;
...providing choices to women, ending marginalization of Islam and promoting torelance to people who practice alternative lifestyles....

Mmmh...NGOspeak.... that is what is confusing us simple Kenyans

Muhuthia,
Aca hau niwahinyiriria. Ucio ti uhoro wa NGO, na uhoro wa ma na kihooto. Kibaki lasting legacy would be to say "Agwambo Tosha!" unfortunately, he will let such a golden opportunity slip away. Typical of him

Sajini No offence meant.


Kibaki let Kenyans down when he let the enormous goodwill and patriotism of Kenyans to die after the Narc elections. Post Narc corrruption is an eyesore. Personally I consider Agwambo and for that matter Uhuru& Kalonzo too tainted to provide real change for Kenya. Land grabber of Kisumu Molasses = Agwambo & family.

Muhuthia,
When everyone is tainted, what do you do if you still have to make a choice. I am trying to make lemonade from the lemons I have.

Sajini

Lemonade for too long is not good. We need Oranges.

I think Kibaki wants the new constitution to be his enduring legacy.

Just one day to go and Kibaki's legacy is the constitution. I have not seen the man campaign like that even for election.

There you are!

Seconded!

More than 3 years ago I penned this message.

It stil rings much more true now than then.

When we confuse "supply side economics using RICH consumptions" with human-development, we produce conflicting livelihoods within the same country.

When we confuse "mafia-govt-systems" with democracy, we incubate internal instability.

When we confuse "ethnicity" with class-development, we face distorted nationalism.

When we REFUSE to see beyond our "BIASES" we excarbate the solution requiring radical solutions.

When we TOLERATE the IMPUNITY of MIS-GOVERNANCE, we only succeed in destroying the nation.

When we GROW FLOWERS/CASH CROPS at the expense of FOOD, we destroy the dreams of the nation.

When we CONTINUE to pay the RICH more and TAX the POOR, we breed a future violent revolution.

When we CONTINUE to be INSENSITIVE to the needs of the POOR, we create frustration and grief.


FAMINE faces over 12-million Kenyans!

Unfortunately in Kenya hard work and patriotism are never rewarded. You must be a party sycophant for you to maintain a senior position in this country. We need to fix our politics first so that the issues you just mentioned can be addressed. Our constitution is good, but our politics are bad. We need a fresh start. As citizens we need a forum on the way we can have new people completely outside the current crop to become our leaders. The chance is still very ripe for that to happen. Any ideas?

Thank you Mugaciku

We have people running around ATI they are excited beacuase of:

- Fiber optic imefika Kenya yet the connection speeds and charges are horrendous to the local man

- 10-lane highways that span 50-Km yet we are busy clearing highly productive farms to replace them with property bubbles

- Visuals and beautification exercises on most towns yet basic services for most rural and urban dwellers are missing.

WHY SPEND SO MUCH BILLIONS on MAWE MONUMENTS WHEN HEALTH, WATER ACCESS, AADEQUATE FOOD AND SECURITY ARE STILL ISSUES.
