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.

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...

THE CHANGE EXPECTED IN REVERSE: GEN Z'S FADING STRENGTH

Photo Courtesy   Waking up to find the sun rising from the West and not East at dawn is enough to signal a whirl of change in the cosmological history. As a product of imagination it can be, who knew Gen Z would emerge as with a wave of change in a sundry of generations unexpectedly.  With this wave, the political sphere in every country worldwide is experiencing an overhaul.  Recently, protests have marred different countries with calls for change.  Bangladesh, Nepal, Morocco, Madagascar, Kenya are some of the countries that have at least tasted the pinch of the GenZ protests, while some of the protests have resulted in a change in the political sphere of the affected countries others have left less impact with mission and vision unreached due to fanciful impulse.  Generation Z, globally have not only expressed their anger through anger through protests and demonstrations, but also in politics where some of the African countries like Seychelles and...

NOT-NOW: HAVE SOME HUMANITY

photo courtesy (unknown) A person cannot retract a message that has reached a mass audience invariant of where it was said. One of the characteristics of communication is that you cannot uncommunicate.  A silent person remains wise until he utters a word. His Excellency Mutahi Kahiga might exemplify this phrase considering his tracenda during his speech at a funeral in Kiambu county, where he was addressing them in the local dialect.  Mr. Kahiga, seems to be deficient in emotions especially concerning the latest tragedy that befell the country when he cast aspersions on Raila Odinga's demise.  Raila Odinga, without doubt was akin to mumbo-jumbo within the luo community yet to his capacity during his lifetime did he not only benefit the Luo but became a national figure and perhaps a trademark in Kenya's politics.  In the history of human life, man is mortal and from soil we come, to soil shall we return. Regardless of the circumstances, man is...
