The President and the Prime minister have been out remodeling Kenya after such embarrassment they both created after the 2007 general elections.The two men have been sounding very intelligent and ready to ignite a problem solving process that will shorten the suffering of our people.
The two big heads are aware that people are already dying of hunger in North Eastern, North West and Southern areas of Kenya. So many children and women in Kenya are fallen victims of very bad governance. The Imperialist super power lecture which was delivered through the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was of course embarrassing to all Kenyans but we all know that we have the President of Kenya and the Prime Minister, all our so called leaders to blame for the shame.
There seem to be some signals that the Kibaki and Raila Coalition government is regrouping and gaining intentions and Will to lead the country into a possible bright future. It is the hope of our people that the good will is maintained.
The country is so much in a bad shape after all years of mismanagement and brutal corruption which has taken a major toll on the people.Poor leadership and its effects have created a catastrophic phenomena in Kenya. The people have been contained in ignorance on matters that matters most to them. Generation after generation becomes unwilling consumers of miseducation strategically intended to mislead them in their true history and reality! The countries resources are mismanaged while the foreign income from the export goes straight to individuals’ deep pockets
The bad situation can be turn the other way if Kenyan who are affected by the bad governance,wakes up and really act to stop a bad situation from completely going out of control like it has done in the neighboring Somalia and many other African Countries.
We know that Kenyans are very hard working people and are capable of defending their rights although hunger, poor education, disease, lack of representation and other poverty related complications makes us loose face. Kenyans are not comfortable in the dirt that we are forced to be in by the politicians. Our poverty is caused by the bad policies made in parliament and signed through by the President.
Our people are dying of hunger because our member of parliament was involved in making decisions that worsen our situation. It is no wonder that we have lost total faith in our leaders, if indeed we’ve ever had good leaders.
It has been said time and again that it is due time for the young people to stand up and take what is naturally theirs, their Rights to enjoy a respective life with dignity and self determination. Lets face the reality and be more involved in politics because it is in politics that all decisions are made. That is why we must be fully involved in decision making or affect decision makers to represent our needs and not their selfish interests.
If we care about dying of hunger when our elected politicians earn more than politicians in a European country like Sweden, then we must be involved. We must refuse to elect the bad leaders coming the next election. Lets put them accountable and let them show how they have improved our lives since they were elected! If they did nothing, they have no right to your vote.
The struggle continues!
