Homa Bay hamna mchezo wazae! Mumeamua ma office zote ni ku shut down na ku turn kukuwa hustle mpya. Karachuonyo wanasema hardware ndio form!
Sunday ni kuimaliza kabisa, Form Ni Kumalo!
I always call-out idiots on both sides of the political divide and I'm measured in my condemnation of both. In addressing the political elites from Mt. Kenya, I address them taking cognizance of their education and general outlook. After all, i met many in University of Nairobi as a student and a teacher. I always take judicial notice of their political awareness and education. The rare moments i address Hon Sudi and his ilk, i address him as I address the herdersmen who look after my camel in Bangal...slowly, carefully, a calibrated mix of multiple languages here and there, few sign language, draw images on the sand, show photos from phone while gesturing and nodding...hopping and praying the message will not be lost in translation. It isn't easy but we have a cardinal duty to breakdown difficult ideas and simplify it for the less fortunate members of our community who were born before President Mwai Kibaki introduced free compulsory primary education. Both Hon Sudi and My herdersmen in Bangal are smart, good and decent men. Unfortunately, both just didn't have relatives to take them to primary school. It will cruel on our part to treat my herdsmen and Hon. Sudi as children of a lesser god. I for one refuse to do so!
Kenyans shouldn't begrudge Sen Sifuna for his meteoric political rise. We should instead celebrate it. It's always a good thing when a young man gets a break in politics or any career for that matter and thrust himself into the national limelight. Remember, Sifuna hasn't elbowed anyone. He simply claimed a space that was empty since Hon. Kijana Wamalwa died two decades ago. For too long, Western was bereft of a political heavyweight that sat at the national table as of right. Sifuna seems to be the new kid on the block. And to be fair to the young man, his appeal goes beyond Luhya land.
