PROGRESS OR REGRESS. KENYA STILL ON ITS KNEES

Progress or Regress

Today marks one year since the 2022 General Elections were held.
Winners emerged and the losers were to be there because in a race there must be a winner and a loser and not everybody must be lead.
Those who win formed the Government while those who failed never conceded defeat and automatically tagged themselves as opposition leaders.
Both these politicians had manifestos. The manifestos that were scripted in books that if purposefully won, they would like to do one or two, this and this to the plebs.

The runner's up had similar to the winner.
The Kenya Kwanza brigades outsmarted Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Alliance. 
They therefore formed the Government having won by more 8 million votes.
Today, what can a Kenyan say has been done by the Government.
Albeit previous elections were held peacefully and the atmosphere was that admiration despite negative expectations from other people.
People democratically voted and bury their hatchet. Indeed the spirit of unity and one Kenya was seen
The peace that was seen in the elections is no more. A total of about 30 lives have been lost due to maandamano steered by the Chief Opposition leader Honourable Raila Odinga under Azimio La Umoja One Kenya. Scores have been injured beyond recovery yet elections were peaceful.

People are in the streets over high cost of living.
During the campaigns, the presidential aspirants had solutions to high cost of living that was in the previous Government.
Yes citizens are demonstrating but should we say that solving high cost of living was hot air or has the Government been defeated to give Kenya what they promised.
The Kenya we are is not the Kenya we prospected.
When Kenyans voted, they were hoping for a better future than past, hoping for a peaceful and bloodless Kenya, hoping for unity across the divide but the wishful thinking they had is not what they see, is not what they are going through.
Politics of blame game is what they manifest, chest thumping is their norm but delivery is minimal.
The wanjiku is not getting what she deserve.
On Wednesday 9th August 2023, talk between the Government and the opposition is set to begin, the crux of the discussion is put on stop the demos and unify the country, the main reason for the demonstrations was high cost of living but they is not on the table for discussion as Government claiming that they will solve it on their own, this now bring a suspense as to whether there will be fruit at the end or the tree will just be barren.
Has the Government forget it's people?
Which language can now be understood by the government.
It is right time to remind the Government that they bear the name "Kenya Kwanza" meaning Kenya first not to lead vacuum Kenya but lead people who make Kenya to exist. If Kenya would be without people then it could have been named "dark country" or "devil's throne". Let the phrase Kenya Kwanza be empirical not theory.
Kenya should not be a country where patriots are withdrawing their patriotism and remaining to be 'bora mwananchi '
Kenya is one. Kenya needs peace.
Kenya is for you and me.

Church as the conduit in political Arena

Churches Again! Kenyan politicians should desist from attending churches as a way of getting masses, let each one organize mass on his or her own.  While doing politics, leaders usually prefer weekends and majorly on Sundays in order to get masses and sell their aspirations to the congregants.  In 2022, Dr. Canon Ida Odinga , was bashed when she breached an idea about church regulation when the current government during their hay days in their opposition intensed their campaigns in churches as the congregants were the target voters. Luckily, church was the conduit for the majority of present political leaders to assume the seats. The trend still continues when churches are still being used as the platform for political campaigns.  The Office of the Attorney General through its boss Dorcas Oduor , has revealed that they receive about 60 registration requests for churches. In Rwanda , some of the churches were shut down on the basis of their doctrin...

Trained to lie: Time to take them out

A greater percentage of Kenya's population lives a hard life in the country while the remaining live a lavish life. "Hard living" is a song by Wailing Souls but among those in the streets of Kibra in Nairobi, Obunga in Kisumu, and Old Town in Mombasa, among other slums, it is an epitome of their livelihood. It is this reality, that those in the top ladder are satirizing. The remarks by Treasury Cabinet Secretary, Honourable John Mbadi on the majority of Kenyans consuming soda signifying the reduction in the high cost of living is unpalatable and apathetic.   Politicians in their cadres assume citizens subscribe to their ideologies only to later realize that the majority of Kenyans are awake.  The same speed and agility they have while speaking only makes Kenyan image to degenerate lest other countries alter their perception of what is Kenya. <script src="https://pl31036930.profitableratecpmnetwork.com/42/fb/6e/42fb6edaece576db30b03763452f3344.js...

SINGAPORE AND KENYA: DAY AND NIGHT

Kenya got its independence 1963 from the British colony, while Singapore got it two years in the month of August 9, 1965 from Malaysia after they had intense political differences which resulted to racial riots. Standing on the mirror line reflecting on the two countries between Kenya and Singapore, Kenya is extremely behind Singapore in terms of development.  Singapore hastily rose from third world country to first world country while Kenya still maintained the third world class.  Recently, Kenya's President Dr. William Ruto, is full of comparison statements: between Kenya and Singapore. Surprisingly, the phrase of boosting Kenya's world class has taken a beautiful twist where every politician is dreaming of Kenya to be futuristically the same level as Singapore. Pausing a bit, what's a dream? pondering on this; a dream literally means imaginary events while sleeping.  Our politicians are forgetting the dogmatic saying that goes 'action speaks louder than...
