The Shortcut Kind of life In Kenya

We Should Learn to Rise Above Hate, Ethnicity and Corruption... (pic from twitter)

In Kenya, nothing and no one is valueless. In this case, everything in Kenya has a price. The simple reality of life has made it easy for corruption to get out of hand. In those day, a little of something, was a word commonly used for people to get something done quickly--- avoiding the tedious queues and tribalism and other negativeness. 

Nowadays however, it is almost mandatory to part with something big (not little anymore) if you want to get where you have a right to. And it is no longer a game of wits, use of secret language and whatever means to pass on a message, but the situation is bad that someone would just plainly tell you to bribe for something worthy getting. Damn, what a life! 

Tribal-kings leading a difficult nation,

The baldness of tribalism if ‘bribalism’--- if this word can fit better to represent rampant corruption—which is already on the too much for anyone to handle. Our good leaders always promise to eliminate corruption but nothing happens because they know Kenyans loves to hear this song with a different tune every now and then. This is a weakness that politicians know is a clear ticket to high offices in the country. Tribal leaders gave birth to ‘me, myself and I’ which runs through tribal blood stream. Anyone else, however qualified, is a no-body until a large parcel of something is exchanged for services.

Are we happy about this?

There is just one word that can make a difference in Kenya! The word is ‘WE’. If we learn to work together, corruption and other social evils will cease to exist. If we say ‘No’ to being mislead, we gonna salvage the country that is now in SORRY STATE. If we join hands for better tomorrow, no one will be left out in national building. We are strong when we are united. Politicians know this much better, that is why they do not want this to happen. We have nothing to lose when we become united… It is just a matter of our forgetfulness that makes us vulnerable to all social evils in our beloved country Kenya.
