It’s rather appalling and down right disturbing to watch news in this beloved country of ours. Not that I am any less patriotic than I was on November 5th, or immediately after the Beijing Olympics, but come on, our mps are a total bunch of useless characters. This is of course with an exception of a few, who surprisingly can differentiate between simple and simplistic. I don’t need to mention Hon. Johnstone Muthama and company.
A cross section of the former has been openly ganging up to do some things i would not imagine somebody calling themselves a leader would do in the 21st century. Take fro instance the Coast MPs, publicly calling on the coastal people, telling them that they should be president come 2012. How do you single out one community, polarise them, with skewed politics and expect to have the whole of Kenya stand united? What is tribalism, if this isn’t? And if they think coiling back to their ethnic communities is how to win the presidency, or premiership, do they really think they have enough numbers at the coast only to get to the statehouse? Come on, this isn’t going to happen. My advice to you is that give yourself a national appeal, not a tribal one, and that way you can get your name on the presidential ballot, otherwise we don’t even like you as you are!
I was growing weary of the vibe that every MP was giving, that they would like to pay taxes, but the whole august house has to pass such a bill. Now that there is a way each individual member can pay, can the real men and women stand up please? And now they all go silent! Can the real leaders queue behind Muthama? Philanthropy, charity, or whatever they may rubbish it as, that’s the true sense of being a Kenyan leader; by example, not mouthing everywhere. Ababu, Martha, etc, are you listening?
