What is the point of the party anyway? To show case and celebrate the PM post? Arent we missing the point. Leadership is a service, not a title or honour, if that was a case we may as well have a monarchy.

Such a display at this time is misplaced. We have issues such as the increasing costs of living, the threat of hunger given the poor plantuing season and the issue of hundereds of thousands of kenyans displaced, with no home, job or food. Yet we want to slaughter 500 bulls in a feast?

This reminds me of the Marie Antoinette story, so oblivious of the suffering of the people given the luxury she lived in.

More over, just because someone else made a fool of himself or did stupid things, by making a comparison with Livondo, does not justify your own acts of foolishness. Just because of the allegations of corruption against Kibaki and his cronies, does not justify your doing the same or acting in a stupid manner. Thats what I just dont understand about our politicians, using a wrong tojustify another wrong.

I would like to see leaders make a stand based on principle, of doing something greater than themselves and a time when we challenge our leaders to consider the national interests first. For all the guys tryiong to justify this, consider it if you were the displaced and not sitting in the comforst of some place writting sychopanthic garbage. Would you appreciate the feast, is it proper?
