Our Immoral Kenyan MPs Are At It Again

This time its' much worse than Koinange Street

Our politicians in Kenya are really ahead of the world in all the wrong things. The latest controversy where Ministerial perks have been dramatically increased and MPs (whatever excuse they are using) also "want something" is nothing short of immoral when you consider the hardships and great difficulties that Kenyans are currently going through.

To this blogger there is really no difference in both sides of the house as Kenyans will find out if they make the mistake of shifting their votes to the other side of the floor hoping for genuine change to come from the nice rhetoric we are being treated to.

It is amazing what short memories Kenyan voters have when it was just the other day, early in the Narc administration when several top Narc officials including cabinet ministers were caught literally with their pants down in the notorious red light district that is Koinange street at night. (Is it any wonder that some are suspecting Gomorah-like hail and brimstone in the jinx of deaths, accidents and bad luck that has dogged this parliament and which started before they had even sat down for business?)

For the uninformed the sort of girls you would pick up on Koinange street in Nairobi at night are mostly under the legal age for sex – with consent or not. In other words it is a serious criminal offence to have sex with this poverty-stricken youngsters (whose equally-young mail siblings are usually out at about the same time carjacking and shooting innocent motorists dead).

One would be tempted to ask what the MPs are going to do with all the extra tax-payers money that they are eager to line their pockets with.

This bloggers answer: Members will of course patriotically pump it back into the economy via Koinange street.

Anybody who has illusions that the spending habits of most MPs will allow them to save the cash for the upcoming general elections should have their heads examined.

You will excuse my getting very upset and being on an extremely short fuse when discussing the conduct of members of the august house. Many readers of this blog have never been inside a cardboard house in the Mathare slums. Nor used the toilet facilities in the slums (nothing more than a polythene paperbag of your choice which you then hurl into the garbage heap nearby and thus increase the pollution which your nose can no longer detect if you've lived there for a couple of months).

Many readers of this blog also do not know what it feels like to go hungry and become so desperate because you have a family to feed and you have no idea where the next meal is going to come from.

In this kind of environment it is not only immoral but criminal for a cabinet minister to take home a million Kenya shillings. Fellow Kenyans prepare your voting cards and let’s vote in a new generation of Kenyans for better or for worse because things can surely not be left to continue the way they are.
