Who is running our government??

Do you really feel that our government is the problem? Any time we outsource our defense or our family to the government, we will always loose.We are now have to look the other way and beg mungiki not to kill us.The government has never been good at at solving any crisis anywhere, they are just good at creating them.I really look foreword the days the members of the Kenya government used to attend the parliament at least once a month. This is because they will have less time to take your money.

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.

Let's Speak up

Just Remember .................................
In Germany, they came first for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because i was not a communist;
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was Protestant.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew.
They came for the rich, i did not care because i was poor
and by that time there was no one left to speak up. --Martin Niemoeller, German Luthern Pastoorr
In Kenya they killed the luos........and i did not care because i was not a Luo
They came for the kikuyus, did not care too because i was not a Kikuyu.
They Killed the Maasai, did not care either because i had no cows
They came for the poor, and there was no one to speak up or defend me.

Have we learnt anything new from history?

Today, i watched a very sad movie; i rarely weep, but today i did. I went to Kenya for a visit, and i came across old videos from the National Archives showing how the British government used systematic torture on our citizens in the name of civilizing the Africans.
Some of the highly used techniques included drilling of the male genitalia with screws, castration, throwing paraffin and setting them on fire, raping women, drilling nails through the ear drums, inserting broom sticks in the anus, nail pulling, eye gouging and literally opening of the skulls!. In fact, Other brutalities included slicing off ears, boring holes in eardrums, flogging people to death, and burning eardrums with cigarettes. A mobile gallows traveled the country. Over 1,000 were hanged, their bodies displayed at crossroads and market places.
forty years later, under the leadership of Kibaki and Odinga, the mayhem is all the same, only the characters have changed. The people who fought for our land, had their eardrums drilled, inserted broom sticks in their anus are dying with no land, no food and no shelter. The children of former home guards are the same people who are raping our country, not their fathers. For the young the home guard kids include Nyachae, Njiris, Njonjos, Waruhius njirus, nyagas just to mention a few. May we learn from history.
