Jubilee Scorecard

Remember the good old days when Uncle Dan was at the helm?Good,at best, they were.Good here was relative cause they are hordes outta there who dread at the thought of that man.

Its' been a whooping twelve years since we saw the last of Uncle Dan at the apex.So far,we've got troubles and tribulations pouring from all corners.Terrorism is of no exception.Daily,I've become used to seeing boards being converted into splinters in a rubble.As if its not enough,the assailants are walking their asses free,casting into mockery a country's security apparatus.

Jubilee administration is having its more than enough share of problems.And the have escalated a notch higher,making the citizenry panic.The recent happenings within the  jubilee mantle is making waves,and the two principals should be bracing themselves for yet another tumultuous ride.The Mount Kenya mafia,I'd fondly call the sick man of yester years came calling again.As curtains closed for yet another casualty of rapid changes within government institutions,as Waiguru termed it,yet another saw green and grim to embellish in state rides.
Dissent and political insolence towards the government is vast at the rift.Many argue that Mr. Ruto was handed a raw deal, the justification being the recent acts of devolution CS.Others have no qualms  about it.But as the political horizon closes in,the most astute of politicians and the game changers are likely to reap big.The youths are likely to take a shot into politics and suppose tribal cards won't be exchanged then the country is at pole position to experience unique leadership.

Notably,today's youth is like a time bomb,ready to explode.The establishment of Uwezo fund was an initiative to offset this dire problem.To achieve the objective for which it was set up for, the government must quickly combat the problem of information asymmetry to enable every other youth and less privileged persons know what is necessary to access the fund.The vibrancy of the youths about the country should be tapped into productive ventures that will not only boost growth in the economy but also bring to an end social evils such as crime and prostitution.

Kenya's political colossus,as Luopeans would call him jetted from the states to a rapturous and cordial welcome at Uhuru park.Need for dialogue was his preamble.But in a quick rejoinder,Mr Ruto dismissed the former premiere remarks as uncalled for and out of context,only for Mr Kenyatta to affirm to the former's.That they'd have a chat over a cup of tea at state house.Good call.The oppositions' threat to impeach the president and his deputy will not augur well to most Kenyans even though the two have not walked the talk like they had promised at their swearing in ceremony the year before.Their scorecard is not up to the billing yet.Well.time is running out for them

Honestly,I expect my president to clear up the mess he created and the mess created by his predecessors.I expect to see a terrorist-free Kenya,a safe haven for people of all walks to rest their heads on and also a corruption free country as well.My expectations are high-will you make me proud?Before I get going,tell those friends of ours from the East(the Chinese) that's its gonna be 'Hands off our jumbos'...........or we face west!
Pens down.Lets meet here in my next post

The Duke of Londiani

  From Kisii, the road winds up and forth, across a panorama of green trees and sunbathed sheets of peasant homes, and beyond herds of livestock bellowing in their hundreds; alive and chewing cud. Further, Tegunot lies at the summit of hills and ranges with its nonchalant grace yet; Londiani lies west and is a vast jungle of brick and tarmac. Tegunot is at the edge of the hilltops flaunting the Western Mau. It is home to a deranged forest complex; a lush belt of eucalyptus, cypress and oak trees, brimming springs, and a robust peasant economy. The locals here farm corn, and cereals – and rear cows, goats, sheep, donkeys, and poultry. A cup of milk goes for a paltry ten shillings. It was in this sleepy village where he grew up and made his cut. Beyond the great mountain ranges, and the alleys that iterated below, a river snaked downstream from the tip of the Mau. It was in this river where, as a boy and in the company of his peers he swam, fetched water, and watered the animals. But...

Note to Self: Que Sera Sera

 My brother Nick- was my greatest source of strength, and amplitude. I still think about him often, more than I should. I can't go a day without having him on my thoughts. I sometimes wish he were here, even for a moment, so we can do proper farewells. Sometimes, it makes me sad though, cause Nick being gone, a certain waft of sadness creeps in. The man was not good, he was great. Everyday, I think how great an uncle to Maya he'd become. He met her once, in her infant gear and I knew they'd get along. The girl was full of  sleep, cry and play. They'd definitely get along. One day, I might get to show her a picture of him, watch her curiosity grow and ask her what she thinks of the man.  Maybe she'd look into his picture frame and wonder, what made the man tick. He would seem peaceful, and besides they'd be some quiet about him in the picture. Some sort of tranquility, amidst the weight of the world on his shoulders.  Maya and I will roll down the years. I hope t...

The Nurse

May had the feels - of a sojourn, some fickle light, some laughter, and coffee, and deprivation. It was a perfect balance of good and better, and moments almost clandestine. Some situations you could reel about, be mad about, and get excited about, but in your inner self. There was always that moment that had you thinking about your life, the wrong choices you probably made, the bills you had to settle, and the horrendous battle with adulting. With adulting, only your parents care if you live or die, if you eat or starve, if you go to church or not, if you have a job, and if you have a roof over your head.  They are the perfect weapon against egregious spirits. As if their supplications do not repel all troubles furnished against you, those humans ensure that your cup is filled with overflowing grace, and your basket is full of bread, greens, cabbages, beans, tomatoes, and maize. They make sure that you are set for a couple of days. If you are happy, and you have eaten to your fill...
