Policies do not necessary have to be handled in parliament. But while eating, if the policies are addressed and seem to be supported by some groundwork, the better. And the groundwork is in many aspects!
But I am yet to be convinced that after throwing stones I should be paid back by a piece of loaf and fish!
If I threw a stone, burnt a vehicle or looted a shop because I wanted change - and that change as a young man is supposed to assure bread and fish in my everyday menu, how will a one day party benefit me then?
My mum was supporting me to be part of the agitation for change because she had been walking miles to get clean water. My brother can't sell his bamboo fishing baskets because the road to the market is impassable. My uncle gets a raw deal from the fishing co-op because the middle-man is greedy and nothing they can do to the middleman cause they have no refrigeration facilities nor access to market where they can sell their products at a higher price. My sister who helped in supplying water for rioters teargassed in Kibera is at home with her two toddlers. She has no skills or capital to at least start her own secure livelihood. And the two toddlers may be at risk of several communicable but prevetable/curable diseases. And the list is long.
Despite people from other regions having indigestion even before Nyanza eats, how will the one-day eating support my family!
