Should We Prepare For The Big One?

As things stand in Kenya today, we know now for a fact that some highly placed politicians in the hight of elections conflict imported two container loads of AK 47 assault rifles.For those who are new to infantry warfare, the rifle can easily fire 600 rounds per minute and has a killing range of 800 meters.
The Kenya intelligence community knows the names of the people who were importing the weaponry, so is the US intelligence who happened to be monitoring the small arms conflict in Somalia.
With the little knowledge we now know, we can all agree that we should be prepared come next elections violence because we all know that violence is the norm.Every time you reward a behavior, the results will likely encourage the behavior to be repeated. All the criminals who funded the election violence from Rutos, Railas,Uhurus are all meeting and toasting in cabinet meetings. Even the actual gangs that raped and killed were set free or will all be set free in the name of reconciliation.
With my simple analysis, last December's elections would be the last one ever in Kenya to involve stones verses guns.The question is,are we prepared for the big one.?
As i said on this blog before, the constitution of Kenya gives ALL people to protect their property and families against destruction and death, even if by lethal force. We can not have a fair play when one group is armed with assault rifles and the rest of us are armed with stones and machetes. It's a high time everyone to take proactive steps towards security by arming ourselves in case the big one happens. Let us choose not to be victims, because politicians always repeat what is rewarded, and violence seems to be paying off in Kenyan politics.

What Can We Learn From Njoroge's Death??

As i write this piece, i greatly congratulate all people of goodwill who came out to support the fund raising, phone calls and mobilizing as we faced a daunting task to raise funds to send one of us home; Duncan Njoroge.
As Winston Churchill once said, a society is judged by how it treats it's weakest.I fondly remember that as we convened to plan how to fund raise for the body of Njoroge, friends whom he had partied with were not there to be counted. If i can be honest, we were six in number. Some Kenyan churches even refused to advertise that a 22 years old with no family in the US had passed, God forbid that anything less that shouting at the pull pit would be needed.
Last Sunday,Njoroge's final memorial was a very low key event, but the 26 people who showed up did put their wallets where their souls were, most of whom had never even seen the young man.We were able to raise the remaining $ 3,000 in ten minutes.May the lord bless your pockets.I can't write this without thanking a Mr. Nganga, who has tirelessly taken the parental responsibility to see that the parents get Dans body.
Its just amazing as one speaker said, that we have all seen baby showers with no parking spot, but no one can even show up when a fellow Kenyan has passed.
Dancan did not have a family name to lean on, which is now a trade mark in Dallas metro, or a huge tithing check to be recognized by local pastors. He was just a young man trying to settle here in the old US of A.
If it can happen to him, it can also happen to any of us. He had youth and good health to count on, but death snatched him. It was quite shameful on the Kenyan community, our so called leaders.as one write said, “Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.” God speed Dan.

Why all People of Goodwill Should Support Raila's Move

As i write,Baba jimmy is in dilemma. A few years ago, uncle Dan and company was dishing out Mau forest like trees were going out of style. And behold, rivers are now dry on on the brink of drying up from Baringo to Nyahururu.
The Japanese government that sponsored the water project are faced with a white elephant. The dam is complete but there is no water! You don't need to be a geologist to zoom on Google earth to see the destruction.
But what will the eviction of the squatters help? did i say squatters? One of the land owners of the squatters land is Internal security PS, Mr Francis Kimemia who owns 50 acres. The land is so important to him that its now being guarded by Administration police; six of them to be precise.
When you see 10 Mps showing up to defend the forest eviction, the main purpose is two fold. One the Kalenjins benefited from illegal allocation when uncle moi was in power, so they have a lot to loose from their "people" point of view; and the politicians also have huge tracks of lands in the forest.
Land issue aside, lets go to the bottom line issue, security. The molo-kurasoi area saw the bloodiest fighting during the last elections, and it has been the issue of concern since 1992.If we can take the forest back, we can mitigate the fueling of the land fightings in the forest, and possibly have a long term peace solution. If all people of good will can support Baba Castro and Baba Jimmy (we can all agree they have been losing it of late) we can solve two issues; insecurity and environment
We have to save the environment because only 16 per cent of the country’s arable land is productive which is owned by a group of about 20 families while 84 per cent is either arid or semi-arid. Let us join hands and save the country from fast becoming a desert.
