NAIROBI WOES WORSENS

THE FALL OF NAIROBI COUNTY
With the inception of county government in 2013, Kenyans, specifically the over three million nairobians, had extravagant expectations from one man Dr. Evans Kidero who was to be the first inaugural governor taking on an elephantine task of steering the most crucial county housing Kenya's capital and national headquarters. It was an uphill task but albeit with the competence and management proficiency he had, the son of Asumbi was poised to achieve a lot and mitigate Nairobi's problems.

Unfortunately Nairobians are an impatient generation. They wanted everything sorted in one year. What a hypocrisy? Without structures  foundations making remarkabke progress in two years could not only be described as a pipe dream but a daytime reverie. Kidero needed time to achieve transformation of the city. His second term would be a critical opportunity to enable his government execute his ambitious plans after fixing structures and rudimentals,too bad his reelection was rigged.


Ever since Dr. Evans Kidero was robbed of his bid to bring to completion his blue print for Nairobi, Nairobians have been faced with a more pathetic state of affairs courtesy of an  incompetent, not up to snuff half-arsed leadership.

I don't want to think about the mugging in the city centre that has necessitated an Anti-mugging squad, the bodaboda riders fiasco and the return of hawkers on the pavements of the CBD. Am not crying foul over the spate of insecurity at Muthurua and the entire Nairobi county, nor am I pegging the sorry state of insecurity to the newly amorphous Nairobi business community. Though, I believe these people constitute the greatest number of hardcore criminals in Nairobi. In fact they only swing into action only once there is a civil protest

The most intriguing social insecurity upheaval I have seen happened a few days ago in Nairobi. A criminal gang alleged to be The Forty Brothers ambushed some church in industrial area, codoned the area and took charge of the church premises. For over one hour the church was under siege by the 40Brothers(as is alleged).

The worshippers both within the church house(Temple of God), within the compound and those trouping in were frisked of valuables in a rough manner. Once they were done they flee leaving the worshipers counting their trials and tribulations within the holy ground. Should I liken this to the destruction of Jerusalem by emperor Titus or King Nebuchadnezzar in the 6C BC? I don't know.

MONEY MAKES MAN MAD

Money is the exact opposite of the Holy spirit. Money changes people. When a poor person finally gets money, the person changes like a snake that sheds it's exo-skeleton or like a caterpillar that becomes a butterfly or a moth. The moth can never remember it's Caterpillar life.  Wait! Almost everyone who was not borne in a flood of money. Some men immediately start to think, they can be sponsors or even to the extreme end, add onto themselves more wives and concubines. Some men all of a sudden fall out of love with the women who stood with them at their lowest height below poverty level.  The worse though are women. when a woman who had not known money comes to find good money in the palm of her hands. Immediately she compulsively feels, " I don't need a man. Where can I take a man. I am independent. I can pay my rent, buy any clothe I want, I can buy a car and do everything I want. No I don't need a man."  That is when a married woman stops ...

WHY GIVING TITLEDEEDS DOES NOT SOLVE HISTORICAL LAND INJUSTICE

HISTORICAL LAND INJUSTICE. Sometimes I pity the common unlearned citizens. You know how in the spiritual realms they tell you. The Devil is a lier. He comes to steal, kill and destroy. Then they postulate, the Devil will deceive you and seduce you. I am talking about something else. Not spending my energy and bundles talking about the Devil. I hardly mention the Devil in my prayers and if unknowingly I do, then albeit once or at most twice. It is because it's a complete waste of words. There is this dogma called, HISTORICAL INJUSTICES, particularly land injustices. When talking about historical land injustices. We are not talking about private land or individual inherited land. We are talking about communal land and public land. Well am not writing a paper on this subject. I'm merely pointing out that historical land injustices is an elephant a queen ant cannot carry using it's limbs. You cannot solve land injustices dating to colonial era by dishing one or two titl...

HOW ATTACKING YOUR OPPONENT WORKS AGAINST YOU

HOW JUBILEE CAMPAIGNS FOR NASA Duale has encouraged a majority of Kenyans to send money to pay bill  991444 and your ID number as the account number. It takes men of resolve to stand on the side of truth, democracy and burry the culture of bungling presidential elections. All first and second liberation was never on a silver splatter. The third liberation even if it does not come through Raila will be the most contested compared to the former two. A new Kenya is an expensive venture, Kenyans must be ready to go the extra mile.  Kenyans will brace every hardship to the confines of  their pockets. Remember Some people like Samantha Pendo who knew nothing about elections paid with their dear lives. Many people have paid the price with their blood, it can't be equated to sending ksh 10 free of charge courtesy of Safaricom. I pity majority leader Adan Duale, he thinks he can take on Raila as his equal in a duel but every time he speaks about Odinga, the latter gains...
