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

President Uhuru Kenyatta is an excellent leader and a great friend of mine. Meru should FCC d not blame the president but should instead vote out the political brokers in Meru who are blocking Uhuru's developments from reaching Meru. A few days after my election as an independent M.P. for Buuri, President Uhuru Kenyatta invited me to his home and I shared with him my vision for Buuri and since then he has been very supportive in helping me achieve the big vision. As Buuri M.P., these are some of the direct benefits I've brought from President Uhuru Kenyatta to Buuri since 2013. GOD willing as Meru Governor I will bring even more goodies from Uhuru Government to Meru County:
1. Tarmac road Kisima-Kibirichia-Kiirua-Ruiri Road which is under construction by China Aerotec Ltd with total length of about 50km.
2. Double number of title deeds to help title deed coverage in Buuri reach 95%. Kiirua Nkando title deeds in Buuri were issued by President Uhuru Kenyatta himself at Kiirua centre. Sirimon title deeds were issued by his lands cabinet secretary in December 2016.
3. National government funding on water especially the giant Ex Lewa borehole which yields 33,000 litres of water per hour out of solar power
4. Land mark educational projects from President Uhuru Kenyatta national government especially Timau Technical Training Institute whose construction is about 50% complete. I requested him this project when he visited Timau in 2015.
5. Personal donation of President Uhuru Kenyatta of Ksh.1,000,000 to help construct Upendo Children's Home when he came to my wedding.
6. Key high level government appointments from Buuri including chairlady Public Service Commission, commissioner Teachers Service Commission, Ambassador of Kenya to Netherlands and Hague and several other ambassadors, County commissioner Nakuru and several other county commissioners, Ceo Higher Education Loans Board and many other top level government appointments from Buuri.
7. National Youth Service employment of 1,000 youths from Buuri.
8. Making access to the National Women Enterprise Fund by Buuri women much easier. Since 2013, Uhuru's government has issued more than 4 times the money that had been issued to Buuri women in the past. This money has been brought to Buuri by Uhuru's top government leaders including the ceo Women Enterprise Fund and in 2016 the Cabinet Secretary Cecily Kariuki came herself to Buuri Mitoone Primary grounds to issue cheques to thousands of women in Buuri to begin their own businesses.
...and a lot more.
Thanks and GOD Bless.
