The moral of the story that I have told in the previous post is that motto wa nyoka, pia ni nyoka
In 1963 when Kenya got independence, Johnstone Kamau, the first president felt that there was no need for an opposition in parliament. He felt that for the sake of strong unity, everybody in parliament should belong to the same party. In other words we should have a one-party democracy.
Another tall guy from the Rift Valley who spoke English haltingly and was in awe of Europeans (Jaramogi Oginga Odinga’s description of him) felt that it was best if the country had a strong opposition from the outset.
Well, Kamau prevailed because that tall Kalenjin man in fact ended up being the man who succeeded his as president and he too radically changed his views on this matter. That other man’s name was of course Toroitich Moi, later widely known as Daniel Arap Moi.
The fact that Kamau prevailed is the reason for so many of our problems today.
Many decades later Kamau’s son entered politics and for a while it looked like he was very different from his father. Hi brand of politics was admired by many.
But the thing most Kenyans forgot was the wry Kiswahili saying; Mtoto wa Nyoka sio Chui. Bila shaka ni Nyoka pia.
Last week push came to shove and Kenyans saw the true colors of one Uhuru Kenyatta.

Chris kwani UK amekula mbuzi ya nani? Leave the son of Ngina alone, you don't surface on this harsh planet with a GOLDEN spoon on your lips to end up soiling your hands in the opposition. Or would you? I fear and suspect you are only envious now that we are in the history books of setting presidence. Economis growth, stupid.
ReplyDeleteChris, i have stopped consuming tea&coffee beverages from today. this is because i've suddenly realized that tea&coffee will not stand a chance of winning in the liquids war against fruit juice
ReplyDeletei hear you saying that tea&coffee are not meant to win the liquids war they're meant to simply provide an alternative?quite simply put, that is balderdash Chris!
I ask, what good is the existence of tea&coffee if everyone in the whole world does not drink them&only them, and immediately and all the time?we don't need an alternative, if people are thirsty fruitjuice will satisfy all needs. you know the economy has grown and not meagerly, so more kenyans nowadays can afford fruit juice.if Mungiki consumed more fruitjuice they would be cooler and stop beheading people. Tea&Coffee makes us hot Chris, too hot
Besides, who wants to live in a Kenya where there is more than one alternative? if we don't have alternatives in politics, we don't need it in our food! that's why "hoo ndee em" and ODM Kenya should unite, and GNU and KANU should unite and mungiki&criminals et al should unite and just wipe out all kenyans with one blow!tribalists should join witchdoctors and hex us all!and Kenyans should unite and elect neighbourhood Governments, to rule over each village and neighbourhood and estate.
please, let us all by the same, no competition, no diversity. Tribalism is there because of diversity, who wants to be different so you can hate? let us unite and copy UK, in his admirable abdication. Looters united is stronger than corrupt apart
From now on in this blog, please refer to me as watu wote-i am taabu,vikii,derek,PKW,Jeff,Phil,Kalamari,Sue,Chris,Marianne Brinner,Kioko(unfortunately)-let me set the precedence by emulating our politicians. we are all one and the same. we are Kenyans

Hey Watu Wote Luka (WWL, almost WWW) that was a painful sense of humour albeit true. And the cirucular ride continues as we enjoy the beauty of every floor oblivious of the had surface waiting to kiss our skulls. Oh Kenya yetu who will stop the bleeding?
