That aticle is one of th ebest i hav eread for ages. Reminds me of pople like Tom Mboya, Ouko, Jm Kariuki, They were no where near Obama but they were on the right track.

I listened to people campaing for somone like Paul Muite who had never done anything for his constituency like mad and wondered what his appeal was to them.

We suffer too much froom the big man culture in africa and untill we get rid of that we will be stuck in the dark ages.

I had so much hope with kenya in the years preceding the elections that caused so much blood shed in our beautifull country. I fins myself wonderign what kind of a person would commit such acts against their neighbours and still come to the conclusion that they were all kenyans like me. Produstc of the same system.

One of the best things we will get from living in foreign countries is the ability to look at our country subjectively and evaluate what good we see in ourselves in comparison to other countries. Im filled with hope when i meet progresive kenyans but for every one of them you meet, you meet 10 backward thinking and polarised minds.

i always find it sad when i meet somone with our old bad habbits coupled with education as i know that he/she has made an informed choice to be the way he is. That said, i do have a hope for kenya. Not because of the much we are not doing, but for the little we are doing that once in a whil egets recognised.


Sote twende mbele pamoja.
Ukabila hatutaki
Tuijenge nchi yetu kwa umoja, amani na upendo
