Let's Be Clear

March is coming. A lot can happen in march as history can reveal. As happened to one Julius Caesar, who believed he had no capacity to fear anyone, the august house and the other one 'on the hill', in Nairobi are begging for respectable occupants. The contenders need to fear us, the voters, for as in the nursery school rhyme, 'Ngunyî-îrî maara-î', we can sing it (and we will) and pull out all those thirsting for our blood and public resources.

Ngunyî-îrî maara-î, nîikunyanaga-î, ta mwana na nyina-î,
Kunyûkia kagîo.....

The lineage of masters as inherited from the colonialists by our fathers and grandfathers is still plaguing us today in the poor disguise of reformists. They would want us believe they have our interests at heart but we now know better where their hearts lie- in the interests of their bank accounts. Their fathers told our fathers that they would eradicate poverty, disease and ignorance, these ills still hold us in bondage and their sons and daughters don't seem to notice it. They are in ignorance of our plight.
