BASKET OF FORGIVENESS IS OUR DESIRE

SORRY NOT ENOUGH
By Glen Don.
Not Happiness at all.
King Charles III and Camilla are on Tuesday 31 October expected to jet inside the country.
It is 60 years since the monarch visited the country with the last one being of Queen Elizabeth who assumed the throne while staying in Kenya 1963.
The late Queen Elizabeth II stayed in Kenya for about 10 years before embarking to her Kingdom.
It is barely five months since King Charles III took over from his mother Queen Elizabeth II.
It is not dream nor fictitious of the atrocities that were inflicted on Kenyan Africans by the Colonialists.
Deaths, torture, land grabbing, heavy taxation, heavy works under poor conditions among other pains Kenyans underwent during the colonial era.
Little is expected from His Majesty's speech on colonial brutalities and injustices. As he is just ceremonial leader and that can only be expected from Rishi Sunak who also has Kenyan traces. The word 'forgive us' might be good but it should be from inside heart.
Just as the Late Queen Elizabeth passed away without telling Kenyans or Africans who were under British colony sàme should not be expected from King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
Today Kenyans remain to mark 'Mashujaa Day' in celebration of the slain and living heroes but bones of some of our heroes are untraceable. Some of the heroes who were executed by the British soldiers under orders of the Governor or rule, their deaths remain to be mystery.
Whether Kimathi' body was cremated no one knows, but a lot is demanded from the British Government.
Let the sorry pie extend to other African countries who underwent the same if at all the speech will mean sorry.
Neil Wigan spoke of Monarch's visit to Kenya and its importance and the reason why Kenya was the best choice.
The British Government owe us a lot as Africans.
The history does not help if that history is not used to better present by the people who made it. 
From the archives of Kenyan hearts no happiness to show if the records in archives are not being used.

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...
