Moral Responsibility 101.

After going in circles, we are still NARC i.e. northing actually really changes. The Mgingo issue is still unresolved and now has a twin called Ugingo. Kenya faces a famine the likes that have not been seen since the 70’s and larks at our doorstep like the images we see on the television concerning Ethiopia, Somalia or Eritrea but everyone other than the government can see it. MP's or as I like to refer to them, mpigs, are still avoiding paying taxes yet the Mungatana's of this world are issuing bouncing cheques worth Ksh. 4 million and the police say they can't find him. If it were a kawaida mwanainchi i.e. the Wajikus and Otineos, you would have been hunted and locked up at Kamiti by now. The high Court the other day issued a warrant of arrest for Garsen MP Danson Mungatana for his magical cheques but as I overheard, sometime last week, he walked into one of the judge’s chambers after the allocated work hours to maybe ask for leniency for his crime. Word of advise, reduce your overheads and, if you shit more than you eat, then you better make sure you got a lot of shit entering.

A lion does not concern himself with the opinions of sheep, so goes the saying and the government spokes man clearly showed us that last week. In my opinion, confusion reigns in the government as it grapples with the reality of the food emergency ravaging parts of the country. Not only this but the cabinet has approved deployment of the military and the NYS to distribute relief food. This comes as spokesman Alfred Mutua claimed the government has no reports of people dying of hunger. The Darwin award for stupidity goes to Alfred mutual. How can the government spokes man go on TV and proclaim that there is no drought in Kenya and no one is dying within the borders of the republic of Kenya due to hunger? My question is this Mr. Mutua, the photos that were shown to Kenyans by the media last week, do you think they were created at your studio where you script and act out cobra squad? Atwoli once said Alfred Mutua is a very young boy who does not know the colour of the shirt he is wearing! Maybe he was right! Those very pictures have spurred Kenyans and helped corporates like Safaricom, KCB, Uchumi, etc., and a host of other corporates to step up and do the governments job by raising 20 million in one day with an aim of raising 500 million and to date one week later, have raised more than 90 million. Well in all Kenyans who have taken it upon themselves to contribute and give what little they may have and be a brother or sister to their fellow country men and women. I know it's exploiting children using those pictures as was pointed out to me by a friend of mine but it worked and the necessary action is being taken to remedy the situation considering the governments failure. As someone said, it's like our leaders and planners lacked the intellectual capacity and aptitude to comprehend and avert the crisis.

Kenya Paraffin Lanterns Candles KPLC, are saying what we all knew and expected, that they are a bunch of tossers and inept idiots who after borrowing and not realizing the country requires more power in the grid than it has been using in the last few years, have in their wisdom decided that the answer to the problem in rationing. First question Eddy Njoroge, has it occurred to you and the idiots employed there that when you ration you cannot in good conscience raise that rates for the electricity. How do you persuade me to pay higher for a commodity that is not available in this harsh economic time? It’s like daylight robbery in light that you are the only company providing the service and thus enjoy the monopoly. Second with Kenya talking about vision 2030, what is the rational of your company going 10 steps backwards and taking us to the Stone Age era? We require electrification to run our industries and create work. Third Mr. Njoroge, every month I get my electricity bill and it contains a section that has mundane taxes that you recently tried to justify and tell us it is money raised to do rural electrification. Well said and done but if that is the case, why are we not seeing the effects of that money being used for that purpose and why are people in rural areas still being charged exorbitant fees to electrify their premises or pull electricity to the nearest trading center? Lastly, I think your whole board and management should be summarily dismissed with immediate effect since you spent a shit load of money to rebrand instead of fixing the current glaring issues and the fact that you provide services when it is appropriate for you and immediately it rains, most of the country is always plunged into darkness. The money should have been used to repair and buy new equipment.

Social media has been rife with condemnation of the government; it’s spokes man, mpigs and our so-called leaders. To quote one fellow, “Even though I am not affected directly by the drought, I would like to see people like Mike Sonko and his unga revolution, Harun Mwau, Kabogo, Mary Wambui, William Ruto, Uhuru Kenyatta, all land grabbers and money bags splash millions in North Eastern. Margaret Wanjiru and the numerous get rich quick churches that have buses to take stuffs to the North for free”. Churches have tax-free money, what is the money used for? As someone quickly pointed out, kwani it’s used to upgrade their Range Rover Vogues?

Nothing good comes from sugar coating things in life and that's why morals are being eroded in Kenya. Stand up and be counted, or forever shut up and remain irrelevant.
