My Vote still goes to Uhuru

The thing is, I don’t like what my current government is doing. Clearly, nobody does. At the same time, I love what Raila is doing, or can do, or would do, especially being a whistle-blower. But I still will vote for Uhuru! Why, because of this… “One who thrives in disorder may not survive in order”!!! what am personally worried of, or about, is the consequences of the good changes that Raila might bring, or (…because we are not sure yet…) the kind of bad changes that Raila might trigger. One very specific concern is his followers, the so called “children of baba”. For sure, many of them are very good, starting out with my girlfriend, however, there are few of them that talk and insight trouble. Perhaps I would be in the same position had Raila rigged the 2007 election, so I will not entirely blame them. However, I don’t want to personally suffer neither do I want the “children of baba” to suffer. Retaining Uhuru will be good for those that have made peace with corruption and developed adaptation to it, and at the same time, it will give us, the guys across the river, some time to adjust to change, as well as accepting it. Am personally not happy with the economic status of my country since last election, if anything it has deteriorated. Uhuru is doing quite a “fair” work in maintaining the economy. He should have been a leader sometime between 2077 and 2087, not now. At that time, hopefully, the country would have been ready for a fast speed railway, better airports and sea ports. What Kenya need now is equality, education, health and food. I don’t know how or what Uhuru has done to ensure proper medical care other than threatening teachers and doctors. Like come on… for goodness sake…our doctors are the most qualified in the whole of Africa yet you want to import doctors from china? These Chinese are starting to softly colonize our country. Am not trying to claim that we should swear our allegiance to Europe or U.S.A, am saying we need independence. Raila has some very weird international relations, including the land of Hitler, Germany and Russia. Kibaki new the balance… don’t beg, don’t tolerate, and don’t chase away!!! Uhuru is tolerating China, and at this time and season, we should align with any country that is ready to offer nuclear technology, like Iran, countries that help us maintain stronger defense, like Israel. Israel owes us a great deal after former president Moi sold soil to them to captivate horticulture. Now Israel is exporting more horticulture that Kenya. We really are stupid. We have power rations while we are located at the exact equator of the world were are assured of sunshine from January to December, we don’t have jobs yet we don’t have a single nuclear plant. The government is helping a lot in creating jobs through technology by going paperless and putting in place Huduma centers, but it’s still not enough. Water rationing is still a theme when we are surrounded by a sea, and have several lakes. If we can import oil from Nigeria, purify it, and pump it to Kisumu, why can’t we pump clean water from Kisumu to Kisii? Or from Mombasa to northern Kenya? Inadequate to exploit these very fundamental opportunities is what results to companies, big companies laying off its workers while other close down business in Kenya because the people cannot even maintain the economy, we are feeding on the economy, we are being sustained by the economy instead of us sustaining the economy. Am very thankful we had visionary leaders like Kibaki and Michuki. People who have brought change. Had Kibaki not declared that a president can only be elected for a maximum of two terms, am sure some people we know would have insisted to remain in power. That being the case, am more worried of 2027. Am not sure Mr. Ruto will take the seat for a second term. Given history, blood shed might be the next thing we are awaiting…

And here is my proposal, instead of importing oil, why can’t we dig out our own? Instead of building railways, why can’t we maintain and build  more and better roads? Instead is teachers and doctors striking now and then, why can’t we just give them what they want, exactly the way they want it? Because clearly, we don’t expect a doctor to be contented when he/she can’t afford his own services. A doctor works at an “A Level” hospital but goes to a “C Level” hospital when he/she is ill. A teacher can’t pay school fees for his six children. What is wrong with our common sense? Teaching and medicine used to be king careers, but not anymore. Well, amidst the thickness of confusion, Matiangi appears, to make education “great again”. And we can make education great again! Students who score a straight “A” are the genius, smart, and hard-working ones. Processing a lack in one the three qualities should put you in either “A-” or below. And where did arts and craft go? What about music? And where did they take drama and acting? I can’t remember anyone telling me that they did home-science. No wonder we have problems everywhere even at homes. Equality is not substitution, so am not saying women are equal to men! Go to heaven and back, even go to hell, men can never, and will never be equal to women, period!!! Unless women are willing to participate in the men races at Olympics, unless women are ready be make up more population of the prisoners, unless women are ready…anyway, the point is, men and women are both humans who have the same need, wants and rights, but women are better! Better at cooking, better at making homes, better at emotional judgement, better at all aspects peace-making, and better at installing hard-work and discipline in the minds of a generation…but when it comes to acts that need moderation, acts that require logical judgement, men fair!

In conclusion, I am asking all people to play their part in building Kenya, if you are a teacher, do it well. If you are a farmer, do it better. If you are a shop keeper, promote peace when buyers come. If you are sales person, tell your clients the truth about what you are selling. If you are in government, nature local talent and exploit locally available opportunities. If you are a leader make peaceful and sane decisions. If you are a dad, be a better father! And if you are a mom, be a role model!
