Killed......Murdered...Died.. Melitus Mugabe Were
I dont know the name you give to what happened to the MP for Embakasi......... but one thing I dont agree with, is for ancestors' sake you can never call it, NORMAL. But normal is what the men in blue call it, and to add into all the mediocre things they can come up with, they add that investigations will be done, to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to book, why would they want to do that, if its so normal. The only thing they fell short of doing was to say it was computer generated!!! I applaud them for having some sense this time.
I am more inclined to blame our past governments for the mistakes and strategies which were meant to protect them, but finally they are coming to haunt us now. The same song we are singing now, should come to pass, we need a change in our constitution, this constitution was made for one person, and to protect one person. It has too many loopholes, that we are yet to be covered. Am so lay, not to undertsand what the whole constitution talks about but just like Aunt Nera, I know whatever they call the constitution is a double talk that ends up protecting the wrong people, for sky's sake which law says you can be remanded in prison for two years, and dont tell me you dont know that,- happens here.
In my own low opinion, I think Mr. Mugabe's demise can be attributed to just what he was, his character was the biggest contributor to his death,
[Humble. Principled. Focused. Reserved. Quiet. Humane
Mr Were’s seat was crucial for ODM over its fight with PNU for the control of the city politics.
"He was principled and once he believed in something, he stood by it,” Mr Wathika said. " {Nation excerpt}]
If this is what the defination of "normal" is in Kenya, then I fear for myself and the rest of Kenyans. For once as Africans can we call a spade a spade, or are we so far from the truth or are we such cowards that we accept to die too many deaths before our time. We have inherited the the art of whispering, that we let the walls talk?

TRUST: Not the Condom!!!
I beg to blame our past and recent governments in their endeavors to destroy the trust and the confidence, the public has in institutions. Even though the last office tried to layer in artificially of course, public involvement in the transparency in running some institutions, and I cannot forget the endless exhibitions I attended, either hosted to educate the public about certain arms of gava I still think, those were scripted performances. To be honest I still wonder why customer care desks are found in some areas. The corporate world endorsed the beauty of customer care, but I think its yet to sink in. We are good fabricators, good at giving the much needed public opinion and keeping private opinions to ourselves, which I find pathetic. That is how we become good at setting up commission of inquiries at every turn, how good we become in remanding suspects for two years and beyond, how good we become at releasing death row prisoners yet denying freedom to petty offenders. That is how, even in times like this…… the much needed TRUST in public institutions cannot come to our rescue. We no longer trust the ECK. We no longer TRUST the courts. We QUESTION the Media’s hold of timely and unbiased information.
We derailed our own support systems, that can bring us together us KENYANS, we have worked to kill what Kenya is supposed to be. If music was to bring us together, we have pirated most of the artists original work, that for them to produce, and even fund charity courses is an extra effort, we have fought in recent time, against our own national football teams, sport would have brought us together, we never even recognize most of our athletic teams, never receive them back home with shouts and parties, hence even now their victory out there cannot be a distraction in our current political situation. I love this country, I love it so much, that every travel that I have made, I always want to show the people out here, that there is something good and wonderful that Kenya has to offer…and good people too. The good places that Kenya has, will not change. However the ugly truth, is as Kenyans, our number one lesson is one rotten fish can spoil the whole package. We need to solve our political problem without leaving a bad taste in our mouth.
Lastly democratically, our East African neighbours still have so much to learn from us , how we emerge in this turmoil, like I have always insisted……. Will just determine how high or low our country will be flying soon. It might be the birth of a democratic baby, that will go so fast before our neighbours democratic seeds get to be watered!

Credible Unreasonable Mediation Talks?
Lets face it again and again...........my poetic talents cannot capture the irony that we are yet to witness in our political arena, and that is where my brethen dont fail me. Now who in his most sound mind would put the V.P in a team to handle mediation talks, the V.P was a presidential candidate in the contentious election results, does he have a stake in the talks, what role will he be playing...... in this talks! For heavens sake , we all know we ask for money to build roads when we keep returning that money to treasury at the end of a financial year, because it didnt work out. You tell me, why would money be sitting around somewhere waiting to be returned, I would be smart enough to use it, let it build me some profit then just before the financial year ends, Walla! I return the money. Am lay remember...so dont ask for proof, but my Aunt Nera runs a fishmongering business she wouldnt sit even on anyone small change, for an evening why would I expect the big shots to sit on millions, I would be mad to think so.
The appointment of the mediation team by the so called government is dissappointing, and it undermines the seriousness that this talks hold. This is not a fight to host the African Cup of Nations, or like the team they had to go view how the City council abroad works out there...that made me laugh, when the minds dont change, no amount of educational trips will develope this country and the highest form of hyprocrisy is what they are demonstrating right now. Well if it pleases the E.U, and the rest of the guys out there, to see them co operating probably they are not using the same Bible as I do! Democracy has taken root, it should be growing now, and whichever way the coin falls will, as I always insist determine our direction....forward or backwards.
If it will help the country let us support both the supposed government and the opposition to set our country on a path to democratic freedom and growth.
As we pray for the fallen brethen....today in Kisumu......... let us also pray for the rich and the comfortable, the ones who didnt and havent seen the need to fight for democracy in Kenya, lets pray also for those who have offices to go to..and those who dont....have anything for a livelihood, because somehow.......titanic didnt sink on one part alone finally it went down the whole of it!

KENYA: I BLAME AMERICA FILM INDUSTRY!
Lets face it, am lay, my citizenship category might be lay too, but I have the prospects of not shutting up and closing up my eyes to all this still waters canned , waiting to go boom, anytime soon. My reasons for saying this are as lay as I am, we need to address, the source for all the toads in the fish pond to go croak...croak...croak.......
I insist on bringing up questions that I expect no answers to...(1) Are we going about all this fracas the right way! You are probably not in some make shift camp praying that it wont rain today, that the food will arrive on tyme, still i wont assume that the pot in which you are a chip from is not some old geezer, 'I dont care to the bone attitude' holder prized with been over 70 years of age at the time of writting this post! Because those are the goons left with the great choice of deciding where this beautiful country goes......left or right we need to remember for all the small people like me and you we will be left to pick up the pieces, and get back together, somehow it will get back to us...somehow it will......
Now after been the proper African am expected to be, whining about this situation and in the same tone doing nothing about it, am amazed at the GOV. guys love for inquiries. For Ancestors sake you see a policeman hunt and shoot an unarmed protester, in Kisumu, and their mouth tub comes on and go........ "I TOO HAVE SEEN RAMBO?"
Whom do you expect a layperson like me to blame, I blame hollywood, damn they created that movie, they have us all brainwashed, even those of us who have credentials, and educational certificates from the so called ....VARDS..., where the hell was a movie in that!!!
Education was supposed to get us out of our uncivilised primitive minds, now ICT is turning true evidence into hypthetical movies, how good can we be doing in RIVERWOOD?
My laymind insists that you cannot appoint a Commission of Inquiry to decide if there was crime committed, I said it and am going to say it again, the Police must decide...who WOTE is, and what is it that they are just doing for WOTE, it took some sleep away from me to think, that a man in uniform is reduced to the devilish level of raising a gun at an unarmed fellow man, shooting him and kicking him in his final moments, I am blogprotesting against that.......you dont need ICT knowledge to codemn that , you need a conscious! To call that a movie, you must surely be the devils advocate.
REST IN PEACE BROTHER, the Spirits cannot sleep....not in this one!!

KENYA POLICE! KIFO KWA WOTE
A new wine from the cellar cannot be stored in an old wineskin!
The archaic thoughts of the old geezers of this country is mediocre in every sense and quite unfortunate for the men and women of this country. Have said it over and over, poverty is like sin, look at us...look at Africa, drowning in poverty, as if its not enough we have our cursed resources to blame for everything from high mortality rates to failed political governments, the worst of all is our knowledge of anything almost lies in imaginary thoughts of intelligence.
We are driving our country mad!
And we have a few sons of the men and women who betrayed us during our fight for independence, doing it all over again.......only this time they have become black colonialists! Lets get it all straight its not ethnic clashes that is killing us now, its the injustice and the crazy minds of a few goons in our system which is holding Kenya to ransom, and for what?
My heart cries out to the women, and the children who are victims of circumstances, victims of men at war.
The sight of a young protester unarmed shot at close range and killed by a policeman shown live on TV yesterday is just the height of evil, and the government usage of men and women of cloth against its own people. I couldnt sleep, images of that young man, minutes before joking , then gripping his chest, then he attempts to stand up and went down, then the last kicks of death as the policeman kicked his sides is just horrific! Who is against who now!
Let the truth be told, the M.P for Othaya is in office Illegally. I cannot blame him for that, I blame the so called Kivuitu, the ECK for selling this country to the highest bidder! Neither can I blame the M.P for Langata, for his cries for justice, I blame the ECK. We trusted them, and look where they got us. House arrest, media blackouts, hunger, and soon a Police State!

KENYA PARLIAMENT ..ON, SPEAKER NOT YET!
As at the time of writting this post, we are still on a media black out on what is going on in parliament right now............... how can I have anything when roads leading to parliament are closed off and with a heavy presence of police in the city, there is no doubt we are on the road to a Police Sate.
I think the message is quite clear, put the lid on everything, create a false state of calmeness, and let us live on, isnt it better to close our eyes off, than face all this ugliness, I mean we want peace ........we need to put food on the table, we need to sell our fish...we need to get potataoes to the market, our lives need to move on!
That is the cry of the poor masses, when all is lost, hope is a great thing to holdon to,isnt it?
The artist in me, is burning up. Art reflects. Art portrays. Art releases. Art elaborates, Art celebrates. Its hard during this times to do anything other than to watch. War makes nothing out of professions, neither do I expect my artistic abilities to capture anyone right now.
The decision to control people using the forces is a prediction that was made sometime ago by the long time founding member of n-g-e-m-a, the use of Militia prphesy is yet to pass. Am mad, that when I was happy delivering Aunt Nera's small time dagaas, someone already had a plan for the post election events. Next time save us the energy , and the time,
I like the song that everyone is beseeching us to sing..PEACE, and after watching 8 members of a family wiped out, I want peace too, delivered as a whole not in pieces. again it brings us back to the concept that I have as an African born and bred in Africa, towards what peace really is.
We need to define this word, please brethen.....stop the killings,
We need to correct a mistake, at the altar of human sacrifice.......???
As we await whats in store later on today, just one more thing it aint pretty watching all those muffed up riot police payed by the tax payers money turn around, and hit the public. They have done it even during peaceful demonsrations,.........what in the Ancestors name do they put in their tea, at breakfast? GANJA!!!

KENYA NEEDS NATIONALISTS!
Am not of good political judgement, and oh yeah a layman at that, give me a hard shot I wouldnt make a great guess about anything, but give me a break here, I know that Kenya right now needs men and women, who will put themselves above all, and everything, except be Nationalists.
I dont need a degree to know, that which ever way the political life in Kenya takes it will either be a great stride forward or backward in the overall democratic and well being of Kenya as a country.
We are at war here, only this time its for the second liberation of Kenya from the colonial black boys left by our colonialists. The nyaparas of the yester year, they cheated the brotherhood then, and they are cheating it now.....making us scared, real scared, it has been talked about but we have never agreed on it have we..... ukoloni mambo leo
The good thing about the genetic make up of Africans is there capability to endure, its unique to them endurance and acceptance. No wonder our belief in God is so Great, the things that would turn man from God is the richness of this world, alas! Our acceptance makes us endurers, so we think its better now that what we dont know out there.
Kenya needs men and women who look beyond personal gains, people who just dont say we need peace, but they move on to implement the peace they are talking about........common knowledge bet me who will be the Speaker tomorrow!
Whoever that will be, we will answer the question of just How many Nationalists we have in that parliament! Trust me equation isnt long enough, nor that tough!
I will give it a break for now , parliament resumes......and as we know starting tomorrow things might not be that fine, a police state we are becoming.............if we let it be!
Kenya needs Nationalists...I INSIST.

A Kenyan Piece, Peace for Kenya
And vote I did, but maybe that is my biggest mistake, voting, in return I have not slept for almost two moons now.....there is no winking ither, all of us no sleep, if we do we do it in shifts, and even if we sleep, we dont breathe normal, its low...very low...so that no one hears , on other hand it gives us the chance to listen to any anomalies outside.....and outside men keep vigil. Everyone fears something, but the thing to fear most is the unknown. There was so much hatred out there, we hate them, they hate us, we hate each other......but it come to know good ather than fear goes up, we fear them, they fear us, we fear each other...yet I knew Mama Mboga since I came to live here, I know Mama Fish, I know Aunt Nera, I know Maich wa Makaa, I know Kalonzo wa Duka, and this madness going around all becoz i vote, I refuse to vote again, I refuse to choose, i refuse to decide........... if only to prevent all this madness, coz all those people at the top dont know our neighbours..........
We have not sold no fish, no thing, hunger bites, and Aunt Nera says we all have to lne up for relief food.
I come from village and everyone guess is that village life is the lowest of them all, but lining up for that releif food and fighting for it, is the lowest have come, its demeaning, humiliating, and pathetic, if not for lack of choice, I wouldnt line up, but this is how far we have come, almost to nothing, yet we can still save this Nation......... Peace , a Piece for us!
