As someone who comes from Central Kenya I cannot believe how our people have regressed over the last few years. Never in the history of our existence have we ever sunk this low. It bothers me a great deal that most have been dumbed down into robotic supporters of the current regime at the pretext of defending their presidency. When someone thinks that ensuring their tribesman remains president is more important than the future of his own children can it get worse than that?
FM stations are perpetuating the notion that we have a solemn birthright to ensure the sun never sets on the Kenyatta dynasty. What brand of stupidity is this? These FM stations have ensured that our people cannot connect the dots between their daily sufferings and the government that they elected.
From professors to pastors and everyone in between it is all about making silly excuses for the failed regime. The worst victims of this regime are its most committed supporters. Can there be anything more painful than that? Our people can no longer think with clarity or courage because they feel a tribal obligation to defend the government no matter what.
Arguments that we are better off in any way because our tribe is in power are an overwhelming fallacy. People are crying everywhere of economic hardships yet speaking out against the government presiding over the mess is treated like high voltage blasphemy. We must style up and join hands with other Kenyans in seeking and creating a better Kenya.
The selfish thinking that as a community we can be a drop of success surrounded by chaos is simplistic and sickening; disgusting even. Kenya can only rise when all communities are rising; when all households are rising. For as long as even a single community or single household is not doing well Kenya will be sinking not rising. It is either we rise collectively or sink collectively.
That post,on facebook, has a brilliant discussion going on. Here are some replies
THIS SUMMARIZES above frustration : Let me also copy from Harriet Tubman archives,the lady who helped free thousands of slaves…
“The owner of the slaves would sometimes drive around the plantations with his big car where the slaves were working…sometimes he would be nice to afew slaves and give them bread and cheese,the other slaves would say,see,he doesn’t hate us…my hardest part of fleeing the slaves was trying to convince them that they were slaves,some were born into slavery.it was their way of life…i freed thousands of slaves,I could have freed more if only they knew they were slaves”…
[B]/\ This comment perfectly describes the sycophants. Uhuru takes pictures in a slum and the sycophants get all emotional, ati beloved president. Ruto naye will share a meal with peasants halafu sycophants watasema ati God-sent leader

Choices have consequences. When North eaterners hid their Alshaabab relatives thinking non-muslims would suffer, they never thought they would wake up to no teachers in their schools and no physicians in their hospitals . . . But not they know. When several guys from Nyeri were massacred in Mandera, their beloved Mutongoria was taking selfies with yellow yellows in Dubai, and he came back and said security is personal business, kila mtu ajisaidie. We will never have issue based politics in this country until psychophants suffer so much that they wake up. Central, Rift have to hit ground bottom to be politically conscious. Let the process take its course.
As someone who comes from Gatundu South I can agree with this fully. Its sickening to see how everyone (esp the poor who really need a functional govt to make a livelihood) has been put in the tribal “gunia”. “Our” most learned and well-to-do are at the forefront of this sycophancy and master worship. This at a time when their fortunes have significantly dwindled. Its a very sad state of affairs.
hehehehehehe. i agree with all you say.
so you think electing Cord will solve all of Kenya’s problems???
simply put, no Kenyan president we elect in the near future can change much. the mess we are in will take generations to sort out. however, electing in a new breed of hyenas will expose the country to a corruption epidemic never seen before. as in it iss my time to eat…
ama you think Raila and Weta and Chameleon want the seat so that they can end poverty, corruption and improve health services???
they are just as corrupt plus their supporters are just as tribal and bigoted if not more.
lemme break it down to you- they are like hungry hyenas who can see that the hyenas at the high table are gorging themselves to death and they want that high table all to themselves.
now lemme ask you, who do you think the average kenyan would want to see eating his taxes? his kinsman or some stranger in a far away land?
we know wanakula. but i’d rather some neighbour eats than someone far away. at least the wind may blow some morsels to my table too.
hahahahahaha.

The tin god cheered at kasarani in 2002 as Mo1 used taxpayer money to launch UK’s bid until it was evident Tin god was not the preferred candidate. shame on you if you think all these years the man has been looking for power so that he can build you all 3 bedroom maisonettes. :D:D:D
His family collected money from you idiots for the molasses plant but today the plant is in their family’s name. ujinga kweli ni talent
when tribal bigots get spiked they start turning the subject around…I have not seen Cord mentioned in the post neither implied…now why are people flipping here? a Kikuyu just said he has noticed kikuyus are tribalistic why are people targeting cord? just goes to show that you are indeed tribalist.
Wee si ukapige domo na hao vihee wengine? We are embarassed by you having come from central. Kapige kura ODM bila kelele ukiombaga hako kamungu munaita BABA na saa hiyo baba yako unaona akiwa fala because “you are educated and above petty tribal politics” serre.
YES I AM.
swali ingine?
I am kikuyu and i will vote for who I want. so Luos voting for a luo candidate is what? nationalism? martyrdom?
what has Raira done for luos they keep following him? Kibaki opened up the economy, built shit that was supposed to be built in 1980. UK has built SGR, Bypasses and LAPSETT inaendelea plus many others. they are not perfect but neither is tin god. you choose to forget his time as PM and the numerous scandals plus za akina Orengo and Bado Mapambano etc. Weta himself and Tokyo scandal.
people try to make Kikuyu’s feel bad about being Kikuyu but they themselves are proud of being Maragoli or Borana or whatever. plus their tribal leaders use them just as much as Kikuyu leaders use the Kikuyus. I am sick and tired of that shit. I was not given a choice, i was just born that way for ferks sake.
stopped where he said ‘jubilee is a failed regime’ it is not. They are doing something in infrustructure development and uniting kenyans. Cord on the other hand is doing the opposite
