Unchained Edition

To my avid readers, I apologize for taking an unusually longer Christmas break. My regular blog posts will keep trickling more often.

This is a critical year that will determine how history will judge this nation. Africa has been one of the most exploited continents in the history of the world. Unfortunately, the present day Africa is still sadly experiencing neo colonization. Most governments across the continent are not ‘democratic’ in every sense of that word. I fear for this nation. Looking at how nominations were conducted yesterday, the skirmishes that characterized them, the hooliganism, the violence and the whole disorganised exercise, hope dwindles and I'm left wondering what March 4th will bring. Tolerance is all I can hope for.

DJANGO UNCHAINED
This latest Jamie Foxx movie ‘Django Unchained’ clearly demonstrates the fact that I’m trying to put across. In case you have not watched it, I would strongly suggest that you look for it. The cast is nothing but fit for their respective roles. Leonardo Dicaprio, Samuel L. Jackson, Kerry Washington and Jamie Foxx.

Last week, our honorable members of parliament were strategizing on how to loot the treasury by awarding themselves hefty amounts of tax-payers money in the name of gratuity. What beats me is the fact that when it comes to the political class, they never get the usual phrase extended to other civil servants: “The government does not have money”. The manner at which treasury processes their allowances is remarkable. When this people are not galvanizing us along our ethnic lines, they are busy plundering our already suffering economy. They do not care about our deficit budget; we will pay for their funerals after all and continue to service the debts.

AKI SERIKALI
What I love about politics is the sweet tongue that almost always does the trick. Making promise after promise is what lawmakers know best. The other day, a presidential aspirant whetted the rhetorical knife before twisting. “I’m going to see that residents of Moyale get a road that will connect them to Lodwar and Mandera.” He continued to suggest an airfield to the residents. The masses are hungry and you intend to put up an airstrip? They cannot even afford bicycles for crying out loud!

With a budget that runs into billions of shillings, a large staff and extensive reach and influence, where have you been all along? You want to tell Kenyans that now you have seen what you ought to do then or what? What prevented you from using your office to pursue some of those commitments? Five years after taking up office and still behaving like an opposition activist, complaining about the ‘government ‘, despite being one of the leaders of that same government.

Thank God our country is not located near the North Sea like Holland. Imagine what this woman would have asked ‘serikali’ to do.

Holland is one of the wealthiest nations in Europe but unfortunately it is sitting on a time bomb. Killer floods claim tens of thousands of lives and takes up thousands of square kilometres of land. The Dutch are fighting back so aggressively. Building a series of unique and complex mega structures designed to shut out the sea. Together they are bigger, most sophisticated flood defenses ever built. Just like Kenya, the kingdom of the Netherlands has agriculture as one of the major drivers of their economy. Being the third biggest agricultural exporter, land in Holland is as precious as land in Kenya. We are very privileged as it is. Indian Ocean does not pose a threat. We do not need to put up sosphisticated enginnering work to shut out the see, yet here we are harping on endlessly and dividing our energy ethnically!

I cannot forget the two gentlemen who appear below this text, courtesy of Citizen Tv’s #Truthmeter by Willis Raburu. Apparently, stand up comedy is one of the untapped talents this nation has.

YOU GUY
The girl who got “You Guy” video banned on Citizen Tv has a bum the size of Mt. Kenya. The management cited explicit content and too much of the video girls, especially this girl, Vera.
The most interesting bit is that her Mt. Kenya has a name…

P.S. I have always wondered why people type ‘lmao’ knowing fine and well that their ass is firmly attached
