Kenyan politicians can make you angry

When i was working at Kapkatet District hospital towards the end of the year 2007, it started to emerge that it was no longer tenable for someone from the central province of Kenya to be working in those areas.i started experiencing some hostility, even suspicion as the date for the elections in December approached. one day my car was involved in a small accident at Litein town and the people who gathered there were siding with the other driver ,uttering snide and rude remarks about how Kikuyus were not even supposed to be using the local roads and wondering what we were up to anyway and that we should leave before we were pushed out.
we were able to sort out the issue with the other driver by pulling him away from the menacing crowd. we finally had to leave early for Christmas and what finally followed after the disputed election is well, history.
The crimes committed during and after the elections were horrifying,people were murdered, women raped, houses and churches burned down with people inside them: patients were left with no one to take care of them- whole towns were destroyed to get rid of businesses from outside and finally revenge missions were organised by the other side.
It therefore comes as a great surprise when all this is made to look like a comical and badly scripted play by our politicians, one wishes that they would just shut up and let nature take its course. The people who were affected by the violence will never even recover and are watching miserably when their suffering is made to look like a bad dream that never actually happened.It always amazes me whether all politicians are like this the world over or is it just in Kenya where you can commit murder,rape and theft and still walk around free and committing more crimes with an eye to public office ?
Unless something is done in Kenya right now the world will again be caught napping when the next bout of violence ,erupts as it is being engineered now.LET the world not be deceived that violence can be spontaneous ...it is always made to look that way by the architects, most of whom are politicians or well, -Kenyan politicians.

MR SHARDRACK

Mr.. shardrack There were many things i did not like about Mr Shardrack. He used to talk too much and create big issues out of small ones . Even when he had said nothing funny or amusing to anybody he would laugh loudly and start another story about his antics when he was drunk. “I remember one time back home , we had taken two full cups of sham each, then added a few bottles of tusker, man i was walking from one side of the road to another…… singing circumcision songs vigorously” he would say “ You should cut down on sham mister “ i tried to venture “ you know that is the night i swam in bad water by the roadside” he went on Shardrack never ceased to to talk about his crazy drinking escapades, he really liked his brew  than any thing else and his talks were usually sprinkled with politics. he could make good enough analysis of what was happening in the country although not good enough for someone with a degree in agriculture. may be what he did best was to teach mathematics to hi...

Karanja irungu magutas blog   Beloved Nyandarua ranges burn The burning Nyandarua ranges l ast week was not a good one for Nyandarua as the ranges famously known as Aberdare were on fire casting a smoky shadow over the county side. It is believed that the residents or more appropriately the ranges neighbors usually light this fire annually during the dry spell to insure that the rains come. Ironically it has contributed to scarcity of rain as the forest is never allowed to grow the ranges are a the source of several rivers notably River Malewa which gives a lifeline to Nyandarua residents and those of Nakuru. Its therefore a sad story viewing the mountain burn f ire on Aberdare ranges I did not seem to notice any one attempting to put off the fire despite a few calls by local leaders for the national government to assist. The ranges are a national resource so it beats comprehension why the national government should be persuaded t...
