THE TAKA TAKA MANTRA AND CONSTITUTIONALISM

photo courtesy: Illustration by Nation

Kenya is one of the democratic nations in the world. True to the definition of democracy, Kenyans enjoy electing leaders to represent them in various positions as it stands; representative democracy. 
Alongside democracy, constitutionality is upheld everywhere within Kenya's geopolitical borders and the patriots love it, because in the constitution, there are rights and freedom clearly spelt out. 

However, our leaders seem to exhaust many clauses of the constitution, they tend to be in the illusionary cognition that they are demigods and can do anything anywhere anyhow, and can spew words without applying any filter. Sensationalism it is! 

To begin with, Kibra MP Peter Orero's words carries the day and wraps the week with a lot of negative trolls, negative pictures of our Kenya's political leaders. I mean the 'taka taka' remarks and the second phrase in it is 'peleka kwa Ruto'. 

In the world, Kenyan members of Parliament are one of the highest politicians being paid, and presumably they live a lavish life, therefore making them feel they are entitled to no one, not even to the electorates. Analogically, they are a bunch of hawks donned in hens feathers, full of skinky narratives that they don't possess hollow bones and cannot fly which turns out to be pretenses, after getting elected they shake off the feathers and fly away from fellow hen and starts to fly with the likes of albatross and the eagles. 
This makes them be out of touch with reality. Perhaps this is a prejudice, only a few are deviants hence do not conform to the life of pomposity and have the constituents at heart. 

Who is above the law? Rhetorically, no one is above it, pragmatically, there is. Imagine one drives on the wrong side of the road and instead of being remorseful and apologetic, he becomes the opposite, 'taka taka' 'peleka kwa Ruto' is the response. Was the traffic rule of obstruction hibernated? What does the President's name (if he's the one being mentioned) have to do with being on the wrong side of law. 

Back to the point, no one is above the law, why was the legislator telling the other party they were involved with in the squabble to 'report to Ruto' meaning he is above the law and fear no one? Quite absurd! 

As the "DCIs" are doing an open search and are in pursuit of the 'taka taka' (garbage) statement owners, let it be known that damage has been done and perhaps they might walk scot-free, nonetheless, politicians should walk with a lot of decorum as they are the pictures of the constituents who elected them. Not unless they want to become comedians and content creators, let them have a designated place of doing it but not on a busy traffic that makes them to be seen flouting the rules that expose them as intelligently disabled or having a mental retardation syndrome, which is inexcusable.

Sad to say that our friends in wigs are ready to stand with him and defend him, leave alone his fellow minions he worships fellowship together with. There is defense to the ignorance and there is no point to justify the course. 

If he might be defended in line of mental health state, then he would well be seated back at home. 
Conclusively, the rhinoceros beetle doesn't complain of the horns being too heavy to carry neither do turtles complain of the shell being burdensome.

THE UNSINKABLE THAT SUNK

By Glen Don  112 YEARS GONE  In the Atlantic ocean one of the horrible things happened. Lives were lost, property of invaluable destroyed and other belongings got lost. It is exactly a hundred and twelve years since 'The Unsinkable' sunk and never to be resurfaced on water or on earth. The Titanic ship during the time would be the largest ship on earth to be ever built, The Titanic ship during its era of the launch was the largest in the world. The ship's capacity is said to be possibly 3,300 while those who were on board is said to be about 2,000 and of those who boarded only thirty two percent survived the shipwreck. Majority of those who survived were women and children. This is due to the privilege they were granted to be the first people to be saved. The Titanic ship shipwrecked after hitting an iceberg that was ahead of it, due to the surcharged pressure, the ship divided into two making it to get submerged in the Atlantic ocean. The ship sunk down the ocean when it ...

The Room of two contradicting speeches

The miss link in communication in the Government as a unit is a puzzle. President William Ruto was today on May 3, expected to address the nation on the state of the nation in regard to the flood. Just before the President addressed the nation, there was a memo circulating already of how the school reopening would go on as planned. The Ministry of Education while addressing the safety of the learners through the memo directed that the School Board of Management to ensure that the learners are ready for learning and precautionary measures are undertaken to avoid hindrances. Later, two hours after the memo, the President addressed the nation and ordered that the postponement of school reopening be suspended until further notice. Out of the impossible, the ministry of education seemed to be having the stand of opening schools. The Education Cabinet Secretary seems to be under pressure when he was releasing the memo since the last was released on the wee hours of the morning hence today...
