KIBAKI AENDE KABISA:BY GEOFFREY MAKEKE

The piece written below is a perfect example how the Biblical sentiment of people having ears but not being capable to hear, people having a blurred vision yet they have a perfect set of eyes is being fulfilled in Kenya. Kindly comment on the following: Whose economy is growing in Kenya today, is it commensurate with the quadrupling of the price of a kilogram of sugar from a 40ksh, to the current 120 ksh per kilogram? The standards of living have actually grown by a massive 26%, how will the large rural population cope under another Kibaki presidency if a growing economy results in more problems for their kith and kin? Is the security system to blame for the incessant clan and tribal clashes that have resulted in the death of many innocent Kenyans? Examples for those who care to research, Mathare Clashes, Kuresoi Clashes, Mount Elgon Clashes, Kibera Clashes, Molo, Narok, Coast Turkana and Marsabit daylight massacres, the list is just too long. An illegal Vigilante group even had the audacity to stage a daylight demonstration within the city streets. The chaos and madness on the transport industry have infact returned with amazing gusto, get the statistics of how many people died during the just ended christmas period. While at it, try to establish how the fares to different destinations actually doubled in the very sights of the government facilities. Kibaki`s presidency has with finality shattered the dreams of a united Kenya, in which ethnicity was to serve as a rather crucial impetus to the wholesome development of the country. It has further entrenched the negative tribalistic sentiments and agenda that are with impunity being shoved down the throats of a disenfranchised majority. The constitution has become last on Kibakis wishlist for Kenyans, since he has tasted the sweet froth emanating from the descrepit, despotic shrivelled copy of the constitution that we inherited from the our colonialist masters. The referendum results did nothing to convince his government of the urgent need for reconciliation based on the promulgation of a constitution that would suit the needs and aspirations of the Kenyan people. A free primary education that is free from real planning, which results in Private Schools filling up almost all the spaces in prestigious national and provincial schools. Note, the KCPE mean of the top primary school was 410. The first public school had a mean of 387. A free primary education that does not address quality of education is a useless notion altogether. Secondary schools that charge whatever amount of fees they decide to, without due regard to the finacial hardships afflicting a majority of the parents. Lecturers who have been forced back into lecture halls without their needs and wishes even being examined, leading to further decadence of the standards of education within the universities. Do you think that the Kenyans have forgotten about Kiraitu, Murungaru, Mwiraria, Saitoti, and the ANGLO-LEASING and the GOLDENBERG saga, the we are gullible enough to even forget the ARTUS MARGASYSAN HULLABALOO, the mid night raid on the STANDARD MEDIA HOUSE by shrouded goons hired and maintained by the state on our taxes? the snake snide by Michuki, rattle rattle rattle Civil servants who have remained for long periods of time on the same cadres, without any promotion coming their way, with meagre earnings yet gigantuan responsibilities. But Kibaki`s waterloo remains, running an administration that has perfected the art of insulating itself from a large cross-section of its citizenry by endearing itself to only a single community. Then having the knack to tell us KUJIENJOY. WE ARE PATIENTLY WAITING FOR DECEMBER, TO KICK HIS TIRED ADMINSTRATION OUT. We will indeed paint this year ORANGE those who bother to join us need to do so, with express and genuine love for the greatness of being Kenyan. The future is ORANGE, GOODBYE KABISA, Kibaki Toka, Raila Tosha? Something good doing rounds in USA . Its your choice but be informed. OUR NEW SLOGAN: WACHA KIBAKI ABAKI. Dear Kenyans.. It is good to be objective. It is by being objective that we can be proud of being Kenyans. Subjectivity has turned people into pessimists who cannot see light at the end of the tunnel. This pessimism has been spread to many ignorant Kenyans who have fallen prey of selfish politicians. For example Hon. Musa Sirma was the sacarstic in his cricism of the NARC government. But today possibly he has seen that what KANU was saying was impossible e.g free pri. education is now possible. We are no longer kneeling down to donors yet every constituency including Eldama Ravine is getting something. Well done Musa. You can see this now. However there are some who still can not appreciate any of these goodies yet you cannot trace any performance record when they had a chance. For instance: (1) Hon. Kamotho was minister for education, transport, local government, trade, and environment. What legacy has he left in all these ministries? What can you remember? Coups in local authorities, chaos in transport, and Oh! What about Karura forest? Hon Michuki was in transport for only two years and he has made history although Hon. Kajwang calls him Muchuki. (2) Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka has been in parliament since 1988. When expressing himself he has always reffered to himself as a lawyer. As a lawyer he would advise Kibaki should dissolve parliament and call fresh elections. As lawyer he predicted that 2006 would be an year of elections. Kenyans need to see his legal competence in parliament. Dont forget Njoki Ndungu joined Parliament recently yet she will go into history books becauce of her contribution in parliament. Kalonzo needs to understand that kenyans need more of actions and less of empty talk. Again he was minister for foreign affairs, education, environment etc. Tell me something unique we can remember him for. (3)Hon. Raila Odinga was made minister for energy during the Moi regime. As a minister that time do you remember him beyond landing in Kisumu in a helicopter? Later he was appointed minister for public works. Do you remember him beyond brining down buildings on road reserves? Give performance a chance mheshimiwa. (4) Hon. Balala was made minister for sports and National Heritage. As minister he could not bring order to KFF. Hon. Maina Kamanda was recently appointed minister for sports and we can see what is happening to sports in this country despite being let down by indisciplined and greedy sportsmen. (5) Hon. Ruto can be best remembered in 1992 as a Kanu activist. You remember the economy came to its knees as millions of shillings were looted for campaigns and for years Kenyans has paid for this economic crime. Anything you can remember him for as minister? However within a very short time as minister, Hon. Kirwa has brought sanity in the agriculral sector. (6)Hon. William Ole Ntimama became minister in 1988. However I tend to remember him more issuing threats and insults than working as a minister. During the Narc era he was minister for public service. Do recall him beyond threatening public servants. In the short period Moses Akaranga has been Minister do you see what he has done? Actions speak louder than words. We have seen the likes of Munyes, Obocha, Tuju, Karua, Ngilu, Kagwe, Soita......their actions are louder than theit words. We are not blind we have seen and we are not deaf we have heard. Does the ODM have an agenda for Kenya or these people have an agenda for themselves. We can differentiate between competence and incompetence, selfishisness and selflessness. These people are now asking for minimum constitutional reforms yet they rejected a new constitution. Can these people be trusted in their incompetence and inconsistency? You and other kenyans should advice me. Send this to them and ask them to advise a Kenyan who wants to be proud of being a Kenyan. A sample of ten is reasonable.
