An Open Letter to Uhuru Kenyatta on The Celebrations That Will Cost Kenya Kshs.50 Billion

wallpaper04.jpg

Dear President Uhuru Kenyatta
Forgive me son, this 50-year celebration costing us billions, forgive my ignorance, but what are we celebrating?
Regression,despondency & backwardness?
Some of these things need a reality check son,let me give you a brief–in your home town just a few miles from Nairobi, poverty & backwardness is not just a reality but a TOGA the people adorn.The face of poverty is women & children, walk over there.
Instead of these celebrations–lets seek an introspection, instead of inviting presidents to celebrate with you in that false island of comfort, son, invite a serious war on jiggers in Kiambu, a serious war on drought in Turkana, a serious war on food security in Kiambu, a serious war on rape in Naivasha, a serious war on joblessness on the youth & finally a serious war on runaway food prices on Kenyans.
That way we will celebrate in our hearts & history will be kind to you.Celebrating this so called 50 years will be a preserve of a few.
For example your children went to the best schools in S.A whilst William Samoei Ruto’s kids attend the best private schools in Australia & Kenya. Why don’t they attend public schools now that you are the heads of the State & Government? Doesn’t it mean you also don’t trust your own leadership to deliver in the public sector?
With this psychosis, I challenge you to deliver that way we will celebrate a real victory, not a victory for a few privileged re-hated as a Kenyan victory.Tell Ruto to visit Sugoi where people still dress in blankets like the stone age aborigines in Steve Mukula’s adopted Australia, whilst in Kiambu,I reserve my comment.
What will these people celebrate while in Baringo the njemps still live on tree tops like OTENGA(a kite which builds a house big enough to accommodate you & your Margy)?

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Mulolongo is not just a place.

Mulolongo is not just a place. It's a whole syllabus. And deep within its curriculum is a tiny street called Zambarau where meat is sold both day and night. By day, Zambarau is a heaven of nyama. Smoke rises like prayers as meat sizzles on grills. You can find it in stew, dry fry, grilled or even boiled for the toothless. But when darkness announces its arrival, the meat form changes. It’s still meat, yes, but this one is served somewhat raw. Colourful, tender and priced depending on texture, origin, and freshness. The most popular evening meat here is called pig Porko. Everyone in Zambarau street and its tributaries knows pig meat, Porko. It is well supplied, comes in different packages and is available all night till morning. On a certain Friday evening, Katomo walked into Mulolongo feeling like a tycoon. After working for three solid weeks smoothing walls in Kalangaita, the foreman finally remembered him. He was paid a full Ksh 790. Not a coin less. That evening, Kat...
