10 REASONS WHY I LOVE KENYA.

Najivunia kuwa mkenya – this is because Kenya is a very special and unique
country.   Many things that happen in Kenya have never been witnessed
anywhere else in the world.

Sample this

* Kenya is probably the only country which insists on being called a
democracy while it definitely isn’t.

* Kenya is probably the only country in the world whose Electoral
Commission boss declares that he doesn’t know who won in the presidential
race – yet statehouse continues to be occupied.

* It must only be in Kenya where he that wins in two provinces defeats
he that wins in six provinces – isn’t this interesting?

* Kenya is surely a country with a transport network that is simply
unpredictable and just can’t be explained.   Sample this – results from
Wajir, Funyula, Budalangi, Isiolo, and Lodwar take a just day to reach KICC
Nairobi, yet results from Kiambaa (just past Muthaiga-Kiambu) take more than
three consecutive days being transported to Nairobi.

* Am sure Kenya must be the only country in the world where 95,000
votes are realized in constituencies with only 70,000 registered voters  -
truly Kenyan         ama?

* Kenya must be the only country in which a presidential candidates
name goes missing in the Voters register in his own constituency on polling
day.

* It must only be in Kenya where the winning party has its deputy
captain (vice president) and 20 ministers swept away by the opposition’s
tsunami. The most “popular” party then gets only 35 MPs while the
“unpopular” one scoops 100 parliamentary seats.

* Kenya must be the only country whose citizens don’t learn from the
mistakes of others. The KANU-LDP MOU was dishonoure by Moi,          the
NAK-LDP MOU was trashed by Kibaki   now  ODM-KENYA  trusts PNU to honour
their recently signed MOU – how naive.

* Kenyans are a very interesting lot. The words GRAND COALITION or
PARTY CHAIRMAN means absolutely nothing to the Kenyan voters. Sample this -
all the party chairmen in PNUs Grand Coalition lost their seats to the
opposition.

FORD KENYA – Chairman Musikari Kombi – OUT

FORD PEOPLE- Chairman Simeon Nyachae – OUT

NARC KENYA- Chairman Raphael Tuju – OUT

TIP- Chairman Kalembe Ndile – OUT

NEW FORD KENYA- Chairman Mukhisa Kituyi – OUT

SAFINA- Chairman Paul Muite – OUT

AGANO-  its Chairman – OUT

MAZINGIRA- Chairman Wangari Maathai – OUT

FORD ASILI- Its Chairman stood no chance

CHAMA CHA MASIKINI -Chairman Assitant Minister Koigi Wamwere – OUT

* Lastly,    Kenya must be the only country which insists that it has
a free press,  yet if media houses are not being raided    then they are
being BANNED from live broadcasting.

You see why I love my unique country?

Wanakazi,

I want to make a special request. Can we have a peace vigil of the highest number of people we can manage? Can someone propose a location where we can have lit candles all night in a church or preferable an open space where we will have not less than 1000 people attending and praying for all those who have lost their loved ones in the violence?  If you know anyone who has died in the violence pliz just you can write his/her name somewhere and lets have each and everyone of us carry a candle for a friend who might not have any.

Anyone for the idea to link up with me. No payment. We are going to have the peace vigil preferably on a weekend at night. What do you guys think?

It didn’t start today.

While we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr birthday, let’s remember our fallen heroes like Ronald Ngala, Robert Ouko, Pio Gama Pinto, Otieno Mbayi, Argwings Kodhek, JM Kariuki, and Owiti Ongili -  whose death was blamed on Kibaki because he was to take over the VP spot held by the man from Othaya. These are some of the patriotic Kenyan Leaders who died under mysterious circumstances.

In my interaction with God’s children in almost every country that I have been to,I have come across people with either inferiority or superiority complex.

While I do not claim to know all that’s involved, from the look of things,this is what I have noted,but again as always, I stand to be corrected:

1. Both do anything possible to be recognized.

2. Both speak when they are supposed to be quiet and
remain silent when they are supposed to speak.

3. Both believe that only their views are the correct
views.

4. Both end up loosing friends due to their view of the
world.

5. Some live a life of denial for a long time if not
for ever.

6. Both blame everybody else but themselves.

It’s possible that I am suffering from one or both.

What I am praying for, therefore, is to “let the mind of Christ” be in me in all that I do. If that were to become a reality in my life, then all other kinds of complexities will not have a part in my life. How about you my friend?

Just a thought.
