Kenya is a funny place. In my opinion kenya swings between 2 extremes.We are very bright and advanced and at the same time we hold the trophy for being probably the most daft nation.
We cry about politicians who screw us up but when we vote we vote for them without any force or coercion. I mean if Kenyans were not so educated, and self reliant, i would understand.
This madaraka ya tribe yetu is the most daft thing and people in other parts of the world will never understand.
Okay so if my tribe is going to have a ministerial position itaongeza ugali kwangu???
the last election taught me a tough lesson. I remember Musikari Kombo. He had been talking on telly like a saviour, development minded guy or so I thought. But after elections, he hoped to bed with Kibaki, whom he was criticising on condition that he appoints a luhya as PS and I dont remember what. It was given and sure enough, he swallowed his pride, forgot all those things he said were not okay and kept mum-became a sycophant.
I have no personal agenda here. I picked on him because i thought a lot about it. I am not from his region so I have no reason to fight him. This is for illustrations only.
The point is when, Kibwana Kituyi, Kipruto kirwa and others (who used to sit and lecture us at Ufungamano house -listing the wroongs of our country ) fight to join government and immediately start singing how good the government has been. you are left wondering about Kenya' future
I hope Kenya can produce people who can say, I am satisfied with my current peanuts, please give the rest who have nothing.
