I am aware that my posts today will cause plenty of controversy (and irritation), but I will not make any apologies. Most of you readers come here every day to read the truth presented in a way that it is not presented in any other media. We must be brave enough and mature enough to accept the truth even if it is not palatable to our personal selves.
It is only when a girl looks at the mirror and accepts the fact that she is ugly that she will be able to move on with her life and make the best of the situation. Only then can she look for cosmetics to mask her ugly skin and work on her dancing steps, jokes and smiles. But woe unto her of she continues to pretend that she is beautiful and has no problem.
Let us not get defensive either. With the classic denial stance many have taken in this blog pointing to Adolf Hitler's annihilation of millions of Jews and saying that our discussions here are headed in that direction.
In my opinion we need national healing and this can only start when we boldly face the past and the great injustices that were committed against some Kenyans. It would be advisable for those who see far and belong to the Kikuyu tribe to help organize a healing campaign where the Kikuyu can for instance publicly apologize to the Luo for the great injustices committed against them since independence. They should tell this generation about the deliberate propaganda that was peddled, not even for political reasons, but to enable corruption and the rape of this country to continue without any obstacles.
Kikuyus and Luos are both Kenyans. We love them both and we cannot do without either.
I am a son to both communities because not only was I born in Kisumu, (my parents were traveling and I couldn't wait to get into this world) but I also met my wife in Kisumu (she was traveling like I was). Many other wonderful things have happened to me because of sons and daughters of the Luo. I am also a son of the Kikuyu by marriage and some of my closest friends are Kikuyus. The blood flwoing through the veins of my children is Kikuyu. I have learnt a lot about business and entrepreneurship from Kikuyu mentors. I also love them the way they are because I understand them very well. Some of my favourite songs are Kikuyu songs—heard of a guy called Kamaru?
As Kenyans we badly need the business acumen of the Kikuyu (and their beautiful women—at least I do). And we also need the intelligence of our dear Luo brothers as well as all their other many unsung good qualities.
As the popular Eric Wainaina and company advertising jingle goes—which always brings tears to my eyes although I don't drink beer. Many musicians from many different tribes came together to compose this classic, including the smelly fore skins or jaruo, the kyuks etc.;
Feel the rhythm
A nation on the move
Feel the spirit
Feel it shining through
We are Kenya
Forever Kenya
We are Kenya, we are
One country, One PEOPLE.

Government Forms Special Police Unit To Deal With Mungiki
Following the brutal murder of a matatu driver early this week in the hands of the dreaded Mungiki sect and the bloody aftermath in Kiambu, the government has now established a unit to specifically deal with the blood-thirsty sect that seeks to control the transport industry.
For the past five years, the sect has grown monumentally as the government turned a blind eye on their activities not to mention that majority of them belong to the Kikuyu community.
The sect which is said to have originated from Nyandarua has hundreds of thousands of followers including women and children and make money through extortion and running protection rackets in slums. Remember the mafia in the United States during the 40s?
They have also made a fortune by controlling matatu routes where public service vehicles are forced to part with between Sh 100-200 per day failure to which the crew is threatened with violence and even death.
The slain driver whose body was mutilated and beheaded, had refused to pay the extortion money hence the slaying. In a revenge attack, matatu drivers and touts slashed and bludgeoned four suspected Mungiki adherents the following day before police stepped in to patrol the routes.
Mungiki is probably the largest criminal gang in the country involved in organized crime and has a well-disciplined force, mostly consisting of zealots who will not hesitate to kill those perceived to be against the organization even if they happen to be policemen.
With the government forming a special unit to battle the sect it is obvious that their activities have created a security crisis in the country and they have to be stopped at all costs.
The government knows a lot about the sect including its leadership structures but has previously not taken any interest as the sect was not involved in any illegal activities and were simply considered religious zealots.
Now that the sect has reared its ugliest side, the government has chosen to move fast and
stop these butchers who deal in human flesh as thet have wrecked havoc in several towns in the country but seem to have a stranglehold on Nairobi and Nakuru.
It will be interesting to see how the crackdown goes considering that both Mungiki and the ruling elite belong to the same community and now need each other more than ever before since this is an election year.
