I agree. We have parties that really dont function. There is something random about how we think and operate. It is more like a comedy or a group of drunk people who know (purpose) they should be dancing, thereafter go home (goal) but has no idea (strategy) what time it is or how s/he will get home (measure of achievement). Whether it will be on foot, by lift , in a coffin -it is a lottery. That is HOW WE LIVE-SHAURI YA MUNGU-ACT OF GOD kind of fatalistic attitude. We end up with results by default rather than by design.

You know people, kenya is a majimbo country. That was the intention from the beginning. That is why we have district development plans-btw are those documents still produced? we should support this system. Before you start throwing stones at me let me explain. We have the central government and the local government.

They all have representatives at local levels either as municipalities or district/provincial adminstration. That system in itself is majimbo. Wacha this porojo politicians tell you that with majimbo you will be chased away to your native. The kind of majimbo kenyans with e ducation should be telling us where every district or province can identify and implement local projects just as the district development plans and cdf is working under the supervision of central government.

Documents such as birth certificate, pensions, ids and other can be issued at the local level. Instead of travelling to nairobi as we do. That is my kind of majimbo. Spare me the shame of explaining it the way the clergy and politicians have been telling us-ati it is a tribal thing. Yet we practice it in totality. My annoyance is that if the opposition was to read the district plans, the ministry of finance annual expenditure estimates and the budget, they would easily know where the government is short changing us. Every day we see a foreign government has given so much money, we clap as the minister for finance smiles. But who follows to see where the money went?\

\ i have been asking in every forum on the net. What happened to the forensic lab money if indeed it was brought back? one area i think kenyans behave like a truly primitive society is information management. Politicians are ready to pay bodyguards and drivers but they never employ personal researchers who can extract information and update them. Every minister and mp can afford services of a research assistant.

Any way, this is cry in the desert. For instance opposition should be a government in waiting. They ought to have a think tank wing which within hours can challenge/support/ or add value to a government position on practically everything.

Every shadow minister should be informed and ready. When they award themselves money, they dont think of such costs. Partly we are to blame. We never challenge our mps. If you walk now to your mps office, can s/he give u information such as how much bursaries have been awarded to his constituency, how many students joined the uni, how many have completed, how much is allocated for road development etc etc?

i dont worship jungus but i have worked in a similar office and i can tell you that they have a functional office and they know. We have no reason why we cant.ati hakuna pesa? that is a foolish answer. An mp earns 1,000,000 a month? we can afford to pay a research assitant 45,000 a month.
