BACKTRACKING CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

By Glen Don.

 The Failing CEO.

Last week, President William confessed that truly promises are difficult to fulfill. His Excellency, Dr. William Ruto avowed this when he was on a visit to Mombasa.

The reality of the promises is opaque and cannot easily be translated, especially, this time when the Kenyan economy is at its knees.

Jimmy Wanjigi in an interview with Spice FM, said that the President is the Chief Executive Officer of the nation and must therefore take charge of every responsibility.

During the campaign periods, Dr. Ruto, the then Deputy President used churches as platforms for campaigns to the extent he nearly became dilly dally of the churches,  these are some of the places he used to have an audience and make promises of what he would do after clinching power.

Today the angle is twisted and no longer is he the tutelary deity that gods expected to reign and rule people using the biblical mosaic rod. Instead, the president cannot be detached from the previous character of being the baritone who matches with the Andean charango. He seems to be still in campaign moods and cherishes the public gathering where he stops and waves still with a banquet of promises. He has even upgraded and has been branded flying president, where he traverses the globe.

When the president, who is the CEO has dehisced publicly that promises are difficult to fulfill, the pleb now needs to use the inner sight in every step they make. They were wowed by promises that they envisaged would come to fulfillment only to be told the bitter truth.

One of the world leaders once said that when a politician addresses the crowd, he or she doesn't see them as human beings but rather the animals and might be compelled to speak anything. During campaigns, before politicians become leaders they give us what we want to hear and we forget that choices have consequences. 

If the President has confessed publicly about the promises he made to Hustlers, then the hustler must learn to be resilient during this era of the hustler regime. The plebiscites, need now to know that no longer are they stepping into paradise but will continue to stay in their sty.

The heaven that was promised by the 'tutelary deity' is vanished as was foreseen by Apostle John in the apocalypse as scribed in the holy books, it is vanishing without even a single hustler having a one-day stay.

It is time 'wanjiku' get to know that leadership is not offered on how theatrical a trailer is, how much is he or she saying to be delivered.

This simply calls for tightening the belts rather than loosening them, because the ground is rocky and pebbled.

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...
