breaking news!

moi yesterday said that torture, disappearances of people, violence, nyayo house chambers, disemployment of people, crackdown on non-nyayoists, the architecture of political buffoonery etc ad nauseum was for the good of the country.

want to know who was sitting next to him and clapped?

KOIGI wa Wamwere.

amen.

sing with me: Keeenya, nnnnchi yetu, tuuuunaipendaaa saana!

just a moment!

sisters and brothers,

ever asked yourself why we have not had a constitution so far despite the many efforts we have put (i mean a 24yr call is no mean time)?



i discovered yesterday.



we in Kenya behave like a bunch of spoilt children!



NO ABUSE INTENDED.



Imagine this: if you said something that was right, and i see you are glorified in it, and i see you have a point, i will do all i can to take you down a peg or two, just so that you feel my presence.



some of the christian clergy say that this constitution allows abortion, and that Art 26 (4) should have been written thus: "Abortion is not permitted." in their view this would stop abortion.



Prof Wanyande yesterday in a KARA meeting asked; what does the sixth commandment say? "Thou shalt not commit adultery"



Kenyans, Christians and all: Do you know anybody who has broken that commandment? If so, why did she/he do it? what encouraged him/her? or is it because it panders on adultery on demand.



I then knew why we have not had a constitution.

your date with destiny

We have come such a long way, such a long long way away.

But here we are, negating stasis, propagating positive motion of both mind and body, sacrificing ourselves along the way, all the way.

From the blood in the bushes during the Mau Mau to 'blood on the runway' (as one famous book on Wagalla massacre is known) during the height of dictatorial rule, to blood in the holy church (reminiscent of Njoya's renown beating), to bloody hands in the 2007/8 violence (all of us had blood in our hands, having murdered or watched murder or abetted murder: no Kenyan was spared), to the present where we have voices everywhere: shouting in the wildernesses of Kenya: vote no! vote yes!

we, indeed, have come along way away.

Phew! At least, everybody says that you must vote.

And that is the important thing, Kenyans must prepare to vote in the coming referendum, and vote for a position they can defend (without being hysterical about it) to the death.

I mention hysterical because all people who do not have good reason to do something, or people who have an hidden agenda - especially of self preservation-, or people who are maniacal, or people who are outright liars in a hurry not to be caught; all these people tend to shout, to yell, and to threaten.

Blessed are the truthful, for they shall not have to shout to make a point.

August 4th then is your date with DESTINY!

Vote for a new Kenya or vote for maintenance of status quo.

Tukutane kwa debe!
