It is sad the way our nation has gone. The only thing lower than our lawyers(pole wakili)is our politicians(bottom feeding scumbags)but we can change the politicians if guys who have soma'd stand for elections. Guys like you guys who have lived in countries where systems work! If mkokoteni guys are the ones standing for councill and touts for parliament..... A good place to start would be to lobby for kenyans abroad to vote. Since Kenyans abroad remit sijui how many millions home we should have a say on the government of our country.

I'm glad i'm in the great US of A and have no regrets about it. I have had accomplishments that i could never have attained if i remained in Kenya. Coming here was my choice and i love this country because I have a chance just like any other fellow American. And for those who are complaining about many brains leaving Kenya while you are also in foreign lands, shame on you.

NO NO NO NO NO AND I REPEAT AGAIN NO!!!!!!!!!!

i totattly refuse to agree with you coz an sure you are not in touch we the situation on the ground coz i have come to realize most of you peeps in abroad or wherever have become cynics to say so(no pun intended) yes it might be true during the nyayo era there was little or no freedom as (human rights, expression, engage and so many things)but currently we voted for a goverment that respected the wishes of the pple" i wonder what happens to this chatacters once in power but we have since seen some positive changes however slow the reforms might be but we have free education for all children and i mean FREE!!.
we now have freedom of expression where u can comment on rais rucy kibaki sorry rais mwai kibaki and not be afraid that the next person next to you is special branch guy(now dibanded)waiting to whisk u to nyayo hse torture chambers (also opened to to the public and has been gazetted to be a museum) so the only problem we have is politicking but come 2007 we are going to teach them a lesson as kenyan have already taste the power voting wisely.on another there is this new acronym for NARC(nothing actually really changed) lakini 2007 tuta wachange wote from the first mpaka wa mwisho.
so sanaa be a bit realistic and give kenya a chance and come back home and be part of the reforms, so think again!!!

OH and another thing kupata job it needs qualifications gone are the days that unajua msee fulanio kwa kanju or wherever actually there is bill being passed to do away with non perfoming civil servants so kama kuna wasee wenyu wana tarmack pole kwa coz they might have stoned some CEO/DIRECTORS/BUSINESSMEN during your time in UoN and i guess what goes round comes round.POLENI SANAA OH SORRY SANA!!!!!!!!!!

Whichever way, if I were to choose between kenya citizenship
>and the one abroad, the choice is clear!TAFADHALI VUKA SAKAFU KWA HU

No. The only thing lower than our politicians, is the general populace ... It never ceases to amaze me how we Kenyans as a people, are so willing to sit back, and watch our own country get ruined by a handful of well connected individuals ... I mean, the MPs multiply their salaries, evade taxes, hire their relatives, refuse to give us a new constitution, facilitate corruption, etc etc .. and all we do, is grumble in muted tones as we blame one tribe or the other. In other countries, the public comes out in full force and says NO! Enough is Enough!! But no, not us Kenyans ... -

Until the day we all stand in the streets of Nairobi, demand resignation of our corrupt government and refuse to leave the streets until thye have resigned, we are just as guilty as each individual corrupt minister or MP. This idea of thinking that someone other than ourselves is gonna come and bring about change is just plain silly ....!
