Kumekucha's Impossible Dream?

I would like to appeal to readers to ignore the increasing number of comments in this blog trying very hard to discredit this blogger by linking him to certain groupings or comparing him to certain discredited news sources. We have a pretty good idea where they are coming from.

So who pays the bills for Kumekucha?

I can assure you that certainly, no interest group does. Basically I finance my own operations from other online businesses that the Almighty has blessed me with. So I do not support Raila or any other presidential candidate currently in the race for State House. We have our own candidate, a person who has never been in politics before but whom we feel understands this country enough to drive forward the only agenda that matters to Kenya, that of the ordinary voiceless, long suffering ordinary people of Kenya.

My personal political views are rather radical and should be obvious to regular readers of this blog. We urgently need brand new political leadership in Kenya and the best thing would be for us to get a brand new set of 210 new faces into parliament this time round. People who have never been in the August house before. That is our best bet for ensuring a genuine new beginning. It has often been said that the best thing for Kenya now is for us to concentrate on one term presidents from different parts of the country until we find the leadership we are looking for. I agree with that view and believe that it should also be extended to MPs as well.

These views clearly mean that this blog is NOT supporting Raila for president nor any other currently-seating MP.

These views may also sound very far-fetched and an unattainable dream. But so did a local indigenous government back in early 1960 when Tom Mboya and company were in the final stages of haggling with the colonial government for a bigger say in the running of things. In fact at one point Mboya's father wondered aloud whether he (Mboya) really thought he would win against the white man who had invented something like a plane, a machine that flew in the sky. Did Mboya really think he had the brains to outsmart and defeat such a clever person?

In the same way, I assure you my impossible noble dream for the people of Kenya will come to pass sooner that you ever thought possible. Who in their right minds in early 1960 would have thought that Kenya would be independent by as early as 1963?

In this blog we have a policy of listening to anybody and everybody. The danger of that is that some people attribute the comments made by readers to me. It is important for readers to learn how to make a clear distinction between posts made by me, like this one you are reading and the comments that usually follow below. Mainly because in many cases some comments are made with a hidden agenda that is clearly contrary to what we are trying to achieve here.

Finally I would like to appeal to all our noble readers to rise to the occasion and grab this chance to make history and create a better tomorrow for our beloved country. Many of us who read this site have been privileged all our lives to have gone to very good schools and Ivy League universities. A lot of the cash that went into our education was corruption money. We can't change that. But we can certainly change the future by displaying more empathy to the ordinary folk and the daily struggle they have to go through to survive. To do this we will need to abandon all support for the current ruling class and known politicians whom we know deep down will only ensure that the status quo is maintained. We honestly cannot expect change from them.

We the small percentage of Kenyans with access to the Internet should use this amazingly powerful tool as a voice for the voiceless masses of Kenya. We should also raise our voices selflessly on behalf of others less privileged than ourselves. I always say that if you want to get a glimpse of what most Kenyans go through, just skip your lunch and supper today and drink only water until tomorrow. Then you will begin to understand.

Apart from fasting frequently, I also usually try very hard to use a pit latrine regularly; it helps me stay sober and on course when writing about this great country of ours (did you know that the vast majority of Kenyans have never known any other kind of toilet?). I will not dare suggest the same for you, some of your knees would buckle under the sheer weight (I kid you not.)
