FUNNY KENYANS

   Sometimes this year I was traveling to Eldoret and came across a disheartening scenario. A lorry had had an accident a short distance from kipkaren center. the container had a consignment of clothes. I guess the lorry was on transit to Uganda or Rwanda. Perhaps a trader was going to sell this consignment for a profit.I was shocked to see people, I mean men, women and children scrambling  and fighting for the clothes. The stronger and muscular you were the more you made away with. I am afraid of the fact that the children were participating along with the adults as others were watching from a distance: parents and neighbors reaping from where they did not sow. That was a vice being passed on to the next generation. You can  imagine what kind of a posterity that is going  to be.
   And that's why I keep on saying that even with the new constitutional dispensation, Kenyans should not expect too much unless there is a change from within. Its we the people that can infuse life into that document.What I was seeing that day could be a representation of what is happening within our republic. People doing funny things. Like yesterday, I was amazed by a Kenyan  who was netted in Tanzania for a duping a fellow Kenyan that he was going to give him a job only to put on him a price tag of 20m. We have a culture of grabbing opportunities regardless  of whether its morally right or wrong.
Lets stop being funny

WOMAN ENSLAVERY

Its amazing to watch the change of event as time goes by. And i wonder how far women can go to look appealing. today women can use anything to enhance their posterior - chemical and even pads. That to me implies that the world system has failed to educate the women folk  to understand what makes them worth. The system has also imposed on women standards that are unrealistic leaving them as slaves of circumstance. Today a woman is not a woman if her figure is not as what the media portrays . But is that the truth?  Where are our mothers and fathers to correct this ? Shall we leave our children at the mercy of the media ? MY WISDOM Read proverbs 31: 10- 30. And remember its only the inner unfading beauty of a gentle and a quiet spirit that really matters.

CAST YOUR BURDENS TO JESUS

Today  I was riding and was reminded of something I came across last week.Today it gave me a lot of insight. Last week I had gone to Busia town for my usual duties. Then there was this small crowd that caught my attention. When I moved closer I saw an old man. Of course the crowd had encircled him. There were a variety of luggage around him. He was carrying others as well as figuring out how he could lift the rest to his shoulder.These luggages contained a myriad of things: sticks, dirty rags,metals, leaves,twigs.....I am sure this man had gone crazy. The people were jokingly trying to convince him  to let them burn the luggages but the man firmly declined and guarded them enviously. Any way these people wanted to set him free by doing that but it was in vain.To the people this man was carrying trash. I heard him claiming that he can not allow them set ablaze his precious assets. That some of the luggages contained some of his best and modern clothes  of European type.I...

KENYA’S IS A MORAL PROBLEM L et me take this opportunity to say that I am   one of the Kenyans who has been longing to see Kenya taking remarkable strides towards prosperity. However, reading Francis Imbuga’s Betrayal in the city , as a Kenyan you easily identify with one of the of the disillusioned characters Mosese Wa Tonga who says, ‘It’s better while we waited. Now we have nothing to look forward to. We have killed our past and now we are busy killing our future'. In the play the people of Kafira had waited with anticipation for independence with the hope that things will change to the better. Unfortunately the fictitious post independent Kafira state was still bedevilled with corruption, arbitrary deaths, nepotism, tribalism, incompetence, negligence of duty etc. Could this be Kenya 50 years after independence?  Why is Kenya not making remarkable strides in development 50 years after independence? Just how did countries like Singapore r...
