in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and early-mid 50s - who were born and raised in the Middle East, Europe and North America, that are not any different from the way son of Obama has behaved due to political expendiency or other reasons.<br /><br />These are people, only Kenyan by name, who will travel with their families and seasonal friends to nearby places like Zanzibar, Madagascar, Seychelles Islands, Reunion Island, Comoros Islands, and South Africa, where they stay for days or weeks without ever bothering to step foot on the land or in the waters near their so called ancestral lands, or <i>land of their fathers.</i><br /><br />Anyway, let the son of Obama continue to make his huge sociopolitical blunders for whatever reasons known to him and his disgnated crew of wise political advisors.<br /><br />As for those of us who kind of end up feeling disrespected, spited, treated as stepping stones and wet rags by our very own so called flesh and blood, we always take refuge in a question that is usually asked by many Kenyans living in the country and abroad, which is, <i><b>how important (beneficial or development wise) are their calculated trips to neighbouring African countries and islands in the Indian Ocean?</b></i><br /><br />At the end of the day, all people in my father's former village would rather only one daughter in the name of <b>Mrs Theresa Bonoreri Olwenyi</b> who cares more about her people, rather than have fly-by-night children - with PhDs or whatever political/professional clout - who do not have the heart nor will to pay homage to the remote "African" villages that birthed their their fathers and mothers against all odds.<br /><br />Regrets we have had them but there will be very few to remeber, because of Africa will continue to give birth to more future daughters and sons like <b>Mrs Theresa Bonoreri Olwenyi</b> of Ushin Gishu.<br /><br />The kind of daughters and sons who have mastered the art of going beyond talking the talk, and settled on uplifting many people in order to walk the walk along with them along the path of development for years to come.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-57790997639076217922013-05-21T11:38:00.057-07:002013-05-21T11:38:00.057-07:00The voices of reason, heads of wisdom, eyes of for...<i>The voices of reason, heads of wisdom, eyes of foresight and all members of the inner cycle of 'Wavinya Council of Women' should do everything in their power and prevail over Keith Kilonzo's undisclosed move or intended pronouncement before she ends up making any perosnal blunders in the next couple of weeks.<br /><br />The aforementioned should let the daughter of the late Senator Mutula Kilonzo know that any form of political inheritance should be a thing to be frowned upon in this day and age, especially in a post-2010 Kenya.<br /><br />The guardians of all shrines of Makueni and rest of Ukambani, including the gate keepers of all closed and soon to be opened political doors in Ukambani of 2018, should be courageous enough to let Keith Kilonzo know that she will be better off staking her rightful claim in the realm of legal matters rather than end up being bogged down in the murky waters of political by-election in Makueni.<br /><br />In the meantime, the majority of the people of Makueni should be respected and left to decide who among who among them will be suitable to be their next representative to take over the vacant senatorial seat that was vacated by the late Senator Mutula Kilonzo due to reasons and circumstances beyond his control and earthly imagination.<br /><br />When all is said and done, there must be some other well educated and highly qualified women from Makueni who are willing, ready and able to duel it out one campaign punch after another in their bid to represent Makueni in the Senate without any shadow or pinch of political patronage from regional godfathers who usually issue their so called blessings with so many strings attached.</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-53345144515190281352013-05-21T11:15:25.442-07:002013-05-21T11:15:25.442-07:00Murderers in Bungoma, Thugs in Thika, Prostitutes ...Murderers in Bungoma, Thugs in Thika, Prostitutes in Mombasa, Chief Injustice (Kenyans love me judiciary),100 Millions Air-Craft to visit Africa for their own cases, 500mill house for fence sitters, Free milk from own farm, Pattni off the hook, Tribalism Scandals and scandals.

Why don't you go ahead and provide some of us with a preview in order to prepare those of us who will be left shocked and awed, on how to deal with its effects once the bombshell of a story has taken its toll?<br /><br />There are those of us who are expecting surprising news rather than the sudden upsetting kind that always leave some of us tailspinning for several minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months.<br /><br />Otherwise, it is always a very sweet pleasure to savor whatever particular breaking news that ends up shattering our collective <i>mzee kobe</i> shells of complacency.<br /><br />And any particular news that is about to break is good for public entertainment as long as it does give some of us a terrible shock, let alone precipitate a sudden disturbance that will cause instability in our country's ragile economy.<br /><br />C'on break the news and let it shatter those of us who are prone to suffer from post traumatic <i>story</i> disorder.<br /><br />After all, public consumption of breaking news that is shattering does come with all sorts of labelled risks where mental health is concerned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-16372406610367843132013-05-21T07:13:10.868-07:002013-05-21T07:13:10.868-07:00The issue in question is about Kibaki's 500 mi...The issue in question is about <i><b>Kibaki's 500 million Mweiga home that was built with taxepayers funds.</b></i> <br /><br />A <i>palatial home</i> that will remain underutilized or unused due to the fact that Mzee Mwai Kibaki has other mansions in Nairobi and Mombasa that have served him so well in the last forty-five years (45 yrs).<br /><br />Further, he does not have any personal nor social desires, whatsoever, to convert the Ksh 500 million mansion into another one of those Mweiga's version of Valhalla, (the rest is history as it will forver be known).<br /><br />On the one hand, <i><b>Kenya ni Kenya,</b></i> and all the patriot daughters and sons of Kenya understand what has been entailed upon them since December 12, 1963.<br /><br />So, wonder why a rational person or people would yearn to fly out of a frying pan - that has already qualified to be classified as a "banana republic" by all accounts - of their own making and land into a perpetual bonfire in a neighbouring country where <i>matoke</i> is a culinary staple of the nation?<br /><br />Anyhow, if "Nyanza si Kenya" then certain misguided elements from the region must be dying to become part of - attach themselves to - a neighbouring landlocked country (with a never ending "bonfire") that is just as enthically and culturally diverse as Kenya, the so called unwanted political "pan".<br /><br />Unlike Kenya, a fifty year old nation that is still struggling so hard, thanks to the new constitution, to wean itself from the unpalatable political diet of self-inflicted growing pains, impunity, corruption, naked greed, poor governance, mediocrity galore, and the dreaded endemic <b>DEP</b> - divisive ethnic politics. <br /><br />The other former British protectorate with an estimated population of 32,369,600, a geopolitical region where the Luganda language is widely used to the point where it is now the de facto national-cum-official language, is a country that still finds itself under the watchful eyes of one East African stateman.<br /><br />On the other hand, let them - whoever they are - feel free to hold a regional referendum at their own convenience and costs, if they still feel so passionately about crossing over to the other side of the geopolitical divide of their own choice.<br /><br />While at the same time being conscious of the fact that whatever land(s) that has been part and parcel of the republic of Kenya since December 12th, 1963, will remain the same and be left behind intact at all cost.<br /><br />For their information, the surrounding areas and especially the portions of Lake Nyanza that exist within the national borders of Tanzania and Uganda are not part of Kenya, however, the portion bordering on Kenya is within Kenya's official borders.<br /><br />Kwa hivyo, Kenya ni Kenya na eneo hilo la Ziwa Nyanza ni Kenya pia kwa vyovyote vile.
