THE EMERGENCE OF TUMBOCRACY.


A SPATE IN POLITICS OF THE STOMACH.

Tumbocracy is a fairly new term that has cropped up in the midst of stomach politics by politicians who have in one way or another found themselves between a rock and hard place after they were unexpectedly ousted from the Political center stage. Lamenting the money they lost in campaigns, they can't resist the temptation to jump ship in order to fill their hungry stomachs.

Some men are blessed with an undying spirit. Omar Hassan believes he can defeat Hassan Joho to become Mombasa governor in a repeat election. Try to think what our teachers taught us in form one geography. When you see an army of ants across the paths or a flock of birds high in the atmosphere then you know the rainy season is here.

 I think there are so many ways of defecting from NASA to Jubilee without you being noticed to be doing, "politics of the stomach" also known as "jodong aichism". Omar Hassan seems to have been traded at a fair price but he doesn't want to be honest like those other politicians who openly prioritize their stomachs to the will and need of the people. "I was feeling cold and lonely." Ha ha haaa.  Honestly what about the true devolution you've been clamouring for? What becomes of its fate? Poor hypocrites!

It is preposterous for a person who thinks himself a politician - a representative of the  people - to change his political stand at such a critical time when the country is heading to a repeat polls.  It is so shameful politicians tune their minds to their bellies at the expense of the common man. So much that they tell all manner of lame excuses. Mara oooh, Mara they stole my wife. Mara we are tired of being out of the government. How does it even make sense to claim your community is out of the government, when the government is for all and by all?

In Luopene lingo they are called, " jodong such" ; meaning they are those old guards who will not stop at anything so long as they find something for their belly. They engage in all manner of beaurucracy. The kind of Kamba elders purportedly hosted in statehouse to try and win sympathy votes.

Such demagogues are the people who sow the seed of tribalism, negative ethnicity and bureaucracy. The government does not belong to a community and when communities start to think they own the government then that is where the rain of tribalism starts to pour.

A FEW PICKS ABOUT VALENTINE AND BROKEN HEARTS.

I have been following on Valentine's day heartbreaking escapades of what sacrifices guys made for the sake of love, and am left in a reality limbo. The question that rings in my mind is is if indeed love exists? A man braced himself for a two year jail term sentence for an offence which was perpetrated by his lover. Sadly the girl who stole from her father a good amount of money went ahead to incriminate her husband after they had agreed the husband would come in to stand in for his wife in prison. By the time the guy was released from incarceration his love had left him. In a separate incidence a lady boycotted their wedding, broke a relationship two days to the wedding, fled and eloped with a white German man. It happened that two days to the wedding, one of the brides maid called the groom who was far from the wedding venue, telling him the wedding was bound not to be. The groom got concerned,,travelled down south to interrogate the issue one on one. When he found the bride,...

SAMANTHA THE PERFECT GIRL.

With the emergence of sex dolls for men, Samantha's, the striking difference in men and women interns of sex cannot be overemphasised. Sexuality of men and women are diametrically opposed to each other. Men want sex for physical satisfaction( in most cases) while women want sex for emotional satisfaction. Women give sex to men as a precious gift. A proof of submission and sacrifice. Women undoubtedly believe giving sex is the ultimate show of love. "A man can cheat on his woman and still love her but a woman cannot cheat on her man and still love him. I say this because while men do not have sex with emotions, women can't have sex without attaching emotions to it. This is the reason men simply need a place to have sex while women need a reason to have sex. Most women who take their husbands to court for divorce are those that cheat on their men. A non cheating woman would most likely never take her husband to court for divorce, unless the man exceedingly abuses her ph...

The Reasons for the Rebellion of 1837 in Upper Canada

The Reasons for the Rebellion of 1837 in Upper Canada INTRODUCTION There was neither big revolution nor dependence war in the history of Canada. The Rebellion of 1837 was the first and the only one revolt with certain scale, which occupies an important position in Canada history. In The Rising in French Canada 1837 , Joseph Schull indicates that the Rebellion of 1837 is the mirror of the conflicts among developing national and political philosophy, different life styles. It’s a test for the people and leaders of the country. There were two armed uprisings of 1837 which took place in the lower and Upper Canada respectively. In the lower Canada which was ethnically heterogeneous, comprising both the French and English colonialists; the revolt was due to political ethno-exclusivity. The colonial administration treated the two factions with discrimination. It favored the English colonialists and neglected the voices of the French colonialists. However, in the Upper Canada, t...
