A big shame at Athletics Kenya.

The drama and theatrics in Kenyan politics, at whatever capacity end only to begin a new. And we quite never look below the surface of things, really.
I am quite dismayed by the recently concluded elections at Riadha house, not that I run or swim, can do it or will ever consider doing so, unless something really huge and very dangerous is running behind me just as fast, or faster. My concern is the attitude of the old guns now comfortably occupying the prestigious house.
Almost all officials comfortably retained their seats, quite discouraging in a country where power is shared even in the highest office, which by the way I think, is absurdly dangerous. This is an assumption of monopoly of knowledge and skills, which is a perfect cocktail for the looming lapse in leadership gap; not so dissimilar if you are a Kenyan. Worse still is the business-as-usual attitude assumed by Kiplagat and team.
My discontent is not so irrational, and here are my adduced facts.
Soon after being elected Kiplagat said that he ‘…would spend 50% of the time resting, and the rest ensuring that general Tuwey does …’ I don’t know what. But it is to the effect that Tuwey will be doing the work Kiplagat was elected for. So my issue; now that the chairman, implicitly will be doing nothing in the office, unless 100% minus 50% minus ‘the rest’ does not amount to zero, why did he vie in the first place? Why can’t he let this Tuwey do whatever it is that he is supposed to do the office the whole time, now that during his share of the time he will be sleeping in the office? (That’s the only way I know to rest.) and again, why should we believe that Kiplagat will do that, given what he said four years ago, when he was elected, something to the effect that it would have been his last term?
Maybe you don’t, but I see a big problem in our style of leadership, when we are ignoring the ambrosial talent in the youth. And the whole process of elections was apocryphal anyway.
And I almost forgot to mention that all officials elected in Athletics Kenya are men, as though women don’t do athletics! Yeah, of course I remember Jelimo!

OUR LIVES.

Our lives are very interesting. They do not follow the dramatic arc that our good plans intend. Life is not an art, and only in very rare incidences of pure perfection does the world actually become a stage; and that clearly, people, we can see, is a shame. Imagine all you have to do having been premeditated?
The reality is, our live are actually imperfect visions of reality, and only art, like a pair of reading glasses can correct it. This, my dear readers, is not pro activity, but a reactionary measure.
