I saw it Coming

A few weeks ago, i predicted to this blog that the government of Kenya was just taking the internally displaced people from last year hotly contested elections for a ride. You see, the government perceives the mash of tents and homeless people as an acceptance that there is a problem, but when we use the army and ship people to where their houses were burnt and cows stolen, some how the problem will be solved.
Some people ended up in their former areas ending up to live in the same tents they were using in the former tent "cities" to quote one politician. The promises from the government of building materials, food planting seeds was just a dream.This government just does not get it.They are never good at solving problems, but very good at patching issues. The kibaki and Raila administration is very busy building 300 police stations. I thought that is what they should have done two or three years ago.But hey, that is the government that we all fought, burned each others homes and were so proud of doing it; just to create a forty member cabinet and fifty assistant ministers just costing us 3 billion dollars every two months.
