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. Theoretically, there is no limit to man's achievement, and that is what drives men to wake up and strive day after day. The opposite is spiritual, psychological death, which manifests way ahead of physical death. Lesson? Losing today doesn't mean losing always. You can lose 10 times and win the 11th time. Or, you...

Dear Uhuru, this is what will happen if you arrest Raila – Koigi Wamwere

Something tells me that UhuruRuto may be
Raila’s biggest campaigners for 2017.
Arresting Raila or even attempting to arrest
him is in other words confirming that he is
right that the €bond money has been
stolen. Let CS Rotich give the list of the
projects that €bond financed.
My friends President Uhuru Muigai
Kenyatta and DP William Samoei Ruto, you
have a country to run. Don’t get distracted.
Kindly ignore Raila but if you two insist that
you must engage him, at the end you
would wish you let him be.
Arresting Raila will earn him immediate
national sympathy. There will be immediate
eruption of violence and demonstrations
across Kenya that may result in scores of
people losing lives and property damaged.
Yet we expecting 7000 visitors attending
WTO meet.
That will also be the reaction of DP William
Samoei Ruto supporters if ICC convicts
him. It is your business as the CEO of
Kenya to make sure that does not happen.
Letting all or one of them go to jail will not
be good for health owing to the attendant
chaos that will ensue.
Raila and Ruto supporters believe in the
the duo, most of them are poor people who
have nothing to lose dead or alive and
therefore they can give it all to defend
their leaders . In fact most of the
supporters would love to die especially with
the biting economic hardships but fear
committing suicide but may love getting
killed by other people on political matters
because they will have died for a course.
President sir, am freely volunteering this
advice, don’t wrestle with a pig in the mad
or a crocodile in the water. Taking Raila to
jail is like wrestling with a pig in the mad.
It will leave you looking very dirty. Raila
loves Prison, prisoners love him and your
Prison Warders love his heroic vitendawilis.
Remember, Raila had been put down by
Obama but our Jubilee Coalition
resuscitated him to where he is now.
Arresting him will make his popularity
rating shoot exponentially.
Secondly sir, I’d like to point out that it is
the business of your government to make
sure that Raila and Ruto stay safe and in
good health. Even fainting by either of
them after eating like it happened to that
Narok Deputy Governor may bring problems
of monumental proportions to the country.
So make sure they don’t even die of
natural courses because their supporters
may not believe it or know the difference.
Their being alive and walking freely in
opposing political circumstances is what’s
keeping this country together. It is also
your business to keep them apart for you
to continue being President. If something
happens to either of them, before a proper
explanation can be offered, many bad
things would have happened in the country.
Sir, what does the 48 Laws of Power say
about your enemy?
Happy Jamhuri your Excellency. I and my
family pray for your good health, excellent
leadership and a peaceful Kenya.
