TO LIVE OR TO DIE

By Dr Paul Bundi Human beings are endowed with remarkable resilience, which can only be broken when they choose to give up. Says Viktor Frankl in his seminal book, Man's Search for Meaning; ''it is a peculiarity of man that he can only live by looking to the future-sub specie aeternitatis. And this is his salvation in thd most difficult moments of his existence, although he sometimes has to force his mind to the task.'' Man's life is primarily driven by the desire for future, the unshakable belief that the future holds promise. We invariably cease to live when we think we have hit a dead end, or that there's nothing more to be had by living.

NOTE TO MAINA NJENGA OF MUNGIKI

The notorious genocide suspect and dictator Uhuru Kenyatta is trying to cover his tracks related to 2007/08 post election violence as his Crimes Against Humanity case approaches in October at the ICC. Needless to say, you, Maina, know too much about Uhuru and his association with Mungiki should it come to spilling the beans.

Make no mistake, I don't approve of what you did to Kenyans with Mungiki. I only want you to tell the truth about Uhuru; don't take secrets to the grave like George Saitoti, Mutula Kilonzo, or Juja MP George Thuo. These are your options: start making your coffin or run fast to the American Embassy in Nairobi and request for asylum. Your bullet proof vest may not protect you next time.BY Albert Waiganjo
