Why Kenyans Should Focus Their Energy On Kenya, Not Africa as Whole..

Politics dividing Kenyans. Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga 

Think of a situation where you are walking in the light but only to realize later that whatever you thought was light was just a mirage of the reality.

Kenyans are funny! Not that a Kenyan would make you laugh your face down, but because they do not really realize they are funny at all. They pity the other African countries for running the crooked system of governance, yet they are in it so deep that they have nowhere to run. Dead end!

Kenyans are great guys at looking and seeing beyond what other African nationals can see. Imagine pointing a finger in bad leadership in a country marked X while ignoring the fact that the citizens of that particular nation are very happy. It is like trying to poke a finger in the eye of a person in a video, just because you have a touch screen device--- It cannot work that way.  

In Kenya, we have our own problems in the country, why go around causing trouble?

Let us have a look at these maybes.

·         Maybe, we lack unity among ourselves making it easier to invest our energies somewhere else.

·         Maybe, we have a problem with our ‘Know It All attitude.

·         Maybe, we fear internal attacks but since we can come together for African charity work, we find it fun.

·         Maybe we are losers pretending to be the eye and ear of Africa while sitting on our own time bomb.

·         Maybe, we have that desire to give assistance but we have not dealt with our mess first.

·         Maybe, we are cowards in matters affecting us, a reason we hunt for the rot elsewhere.

·         Or maybe, we feel so noble in standing for our African people… So sad that no one really cares.

Why we need ‘Us’ to work together for the common cause.

We have been fighting for change in wrong places for some time, and we have shown our courage and unity when we hardly needed any. Great! This is a first, and I think the best chance to build a firm unity that will be our strength in future.

If we put our energies together for one particular change, we have a good chance to emerge winners.

The fear of unity is our worst enemy. It gives our enemy a channel of exploitation. It drains our nobility and makes us all novices. Sad that the enemy wants us divided…

Think of a lion facing wildebeests… he may attack the whole lot, but only targets one that secludes itself from the crowd.

Now face our situation and see the reality. Does our politics benefit us in any way?

I guess minority would say, ’We got our man in the State House and that is all we need.’

That is bad mentality that was imprinted in the minds of cool Kenyans.

You know what? The will of many politicians is to make sure ethnicity is subscribed by the majority of people in Kenya.  In fact, this single issue has crippled our land and everything Kenyans should be proud of.  

We walk tall empty handed, we work for long hours on our empty stomachs, we elect idiots who have nothing to offer other than peanuts during the campaign period and who cares about us? No one! Not even ‘your man in the State House.’

Why we can be what they fear the most

We have reasons to call ourselves by our noble name, Kenyans.

We have a reason to choose the best among the rotten system, beyond ethnic lines.

We have the will to change the face of Africa, but we should start at home first.

We have time to rectify our mistakes.

We have power in our numbers and we don’t need them to tell us what to do.

This is what change should be… not the way it is now!

   

Western Kenya Electorate and Politicians and Can't See This Either...

Unless the Luhya people learns to hang out with the right people under one roof, they will never know when to rise...

"When the mighty beast is strong enough but it does not know how powerful it is, then it is great for the agile minded fellows to use its power to the maximum before it realizes what has been happening for sometime." This goes well with the mighty political wave in Western Kenya. Why are the two rival politicians luring the Western Kenya politicians to join the forces with them? Why do some other politicians allied to the ruling Party so interested in making sure that one or two politicians from Western Kenya vies for Presidency come 2017?

The answers for the above questions are easy! We only need to see the reality as it unfolds out into the freaking reality. For sure there is too much that happens in the political arena than just what meets our eyes. For example, the Wetangula saga in the Coalition Of Reform and Democracy (CORD) is not gonna end soon because he is a kind of guy who likes where the delicious soup is hot! We all know where the good broth is being cooked and as a hungry Mulembe guy, he is slowly going to take a bite anytime soon. Another issue!

Why did the wise man decide to leave?

When we talk of a wise guy in Kenyan Politics, then we are possibly referring to Ababu Namwamba, a former secretary general of Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) but now a leader of Labour Party of Kenya. The guy was possibly the light of the dimming Luhya community's unity and his smooth way of handling politics made him the most influential person in Kenyan politics. The recent split from ODM showed that he too is not a cool guy but another hungry guy looking for an easy catch. The deputy president hinted that he was the main reason why Ababu chose to move away from Raila's corner.

The Tag of War in Luhya Nation

The rise of western Kenya politics is a direct threat to Jubilee Party administration. The real change factors that plays within Kenya rests firmly in Western Kenya. The west which is also the second populous region has attracted the ruling government and the opposition, lead by Raila Odinga and his CORD allies. The moment the unity of western Kenya is realized, that is when Kenya will decide where to go from the current confusion state.

The Raila team is determined to sell their agent in Western Kenya because it is the only chance for him to ascend into power come august general election next year. However, he has a challenge that only needs constant prayers that Uhuru's men and their bulgy pockets are deemed liars and unworthy to go for a second shot!

By now, the beast is still sleepy and weak because of unworthy gains. The moment it will rise and be called by its proper name, Kenyan politics will change forever. Until then, let Raila Odinga eat the ripe fruit... let Uhuru Kenyatta cut off yields from healthy branches just to make sure the beast is not counted as whole (united), as we wait for a new day to come.
