Anyway, you make a good point. If the 'poor people' think they have realized their dream of achieving freedom from the yokes of poverty, disease, unemployment etc., I find no problem in them celebrating.
However, as far as I can see, only a few 'Fat Cats' realized financial freedom.  |
Well, what you are addressing are the fundamental structures that need to be put in place for people not to eat fish only for a day, but to learn how to be fishermen. That cannot be done this saturday, sorry to burst the bubble.
Only for a day applies, because this is a party someone is willing to put up. Some can afford only a party of 10 people, but it so happens that Raila can afford to have a party of the whole of Kisumu. So we should apply the same standards across the board. Chances are that the party of 10 is a very selfish party, only for the close friends and family. This guy intends to have everyone available attend even those hungry people everyone pretends to be fighting for
I see nothing wrong with that. People should not starve and live in guilt just because another person can't afford it. We can assist them, but we know next day it could be Raila facing the same hunger. Why suffer now and then suffer later when you can choose.
Then again, does Raila ever think of Lang'ata Constituency? Or is he suggesting that the whole of Lang'ata is an extention of Kisumu, or is it?
