People really want a lot of noise, big English and "new airport in Shamakhokho" type of talk from presidential candidates.
We off that.
Rule of law, Intergrity and Respect.
If it's not simple for you to understand, it's not meant for you.
After watching the interview, I have no doubt in my mind that I will campaign, fund, and vote for David Maraga as the next president of Kenya. I will work for FREE if needed ๐ค๐คโค๏ธ๐ The great reset ๐ฐ๐ช #MaragaForPresident#Maraga2027#RutoMustGo โ๐ฝ
From a surgeonโs eye โ The Problem With my Country Kenya.
I have been thinking lately- where do we want to see our country in 10 yearsโ time? Or perhaps more precisely, what type of a country do we want to bequeath our children and ourselves in latter years?
To begin with we have to admit that we are a country now at the bull-point of a crossroad. We have a situation where the citizens are increasingly demanding for not just good but good enough, near perfect. It is no longer just about reduced prices of Unga, fixed roads, reduced fertilizer prices, comprehensive medical cover that works etc. The citizenry is intimately romanticizing of a country where โthe howโ also matters and is questioned. Accountability and governance structures.
This is not the first time we find ourselves here, a quick reminder is that one of our best Presidents yet โ H.E Emilio Mwai wa Kibaki found it hard to earn a second term. That was despite the grandeeโ projects. Roads snaking through our villages and embracing our thatched huts. Education at the primary level dished out like snow- flakes in a Hawaiian Christmas. Food prices within the reach of our arms even though shortened by the inequalities of socio-economic setbacks. His ultimate near-rejection (arguably) moment in the heat of the disputed 2007 polls must surely be our guiding compass as to what really our people are asking for.
I sit here writing. Methinks the issue is more moral that it is economic. Just like Emilio era, people are demanding for socio โ governance justice. An equal society not necessarily economically but in terms of social umbrellas of justice, access to critical services, being equal under the prisms of the law and as a prominent judge once put it โ strict fidelity to the rule of law.
How then did we miss this opportunity in 2007? What then should be done this this time around learning from the lessons then that even after bloodshed and cacophony this concept still eludes us so easily like wet liver.
The situation is not made any better by the rumbling noises of some political leadership class who still hang onto the ideation that Kenyans are what they were in the years gone. That a show of power through cascading motor-cades creates admirable power โ no it nauseates. That Bwana Mkubwa syndrome shows might and can intimidate people to submission โ no it hardens their resolve to deflate your balls. We are replete with many such examples.
Whatever it is that we are clamoring for as a country, I pray that we find it. That we collectively heal the disease afflicting us. That we bounce back tenacious and hopeful. The intersecting wisdom though as it is always through my eyes as a surgeon is that the remedy should not be worse than the disease. We fight to take the disease away from the patient not the patient away from the disease.
Pray tell.
