This is not 1992 to mistake duty for favor,
Government fundamentals are not ornamentals,
We will not romanticize infrastructure.
The president has not built roads, our taxes have.
The president did not pay for Talanta stadium, loans that Kenyan will pay for have.
Every time the president says ametenga,
You need to remember,
Huge spending doesn’t mean service delivery,
Especially when every project costs way, way more than it’s supposed to.
We do not call that development..
Everywhere in the world they call that embezzlement.

For some reason, I have never looked at these things & felt that I was missing out. I have my small joys that mean a lot to me. I recently discovered an eatery that grills marinated chicken necks. Sells them at 30 bob each. I cannot tell you the profound joy those necks bring me.
I pick almost 20 at a go. I Keep them in the fridge. And I can't wait to get home. Everytime To prep some ugali. And get to work. I didn't sleep at home yesterday because of some work commitments, and all I can think about even this morning,at 5 am, is what I will do when I finally get my hands on those grilled, juicy chicken necks. I'll probably sing a hymn. Like I did last time. Probably do a little dance.
That side of Nairobi may never get to experience the joy of a juicy, grilled chicken neck with a bowl of steaming ugali, and salad. When you are finally alone, without the cameras, and it just feels right. Complete. Alive.
