I keep on saying we need public executions the “China way”

We are just dreamers if we believe our jails will teach our corrupt lot anything. Our courts have been conduits for corruption. Our politicians are the source of our divisions. 95% of us outside Kenya have been turned to a welfare agency to subsidize for our government’s negligence and failures in provision of basic services to our people.
The system our country clinches on is rotten and today the world is on the verge of economic Armageddon for believing that unchecked capitalism is the panacea of the world’s malady.
In a country like ours and Africa as a whole we must be prepared to make a break from the past. Only “informed revolution” will save us from the kind of life most of our people find themselves in. The kind of politics that cut across the plains and valleys of our land can only equal poison being administered to a starving body!
Our youths have agreed to eat from the crumbs of the corrupt lot. The educated and especially those living abroad are just as guilt. They live and dream wealth. To them the end justifies the means. They care less when their brothers back home have no fees for their children. They see nothing wrong when they can educate their children in private schools while majority of their nieces and nephews attend makeshifts schools. Or else how will they displace their new found status?
As no night is too long not to see daybreak believe you me a day is coming when the slum dwellers, squatters, poor farmers and pastoralists will say enough is enough. As being witnessed in parts of Central province, Rift Valley, western, Nyanza and mostly Nairobi slums we are headed for a bloody revolution unless those with brains and human feelings join hands to manage the changes. The gang culture taking root in our society is a social phenomenon reflecting dissatisfaction within the society.
To let criminal politicians hijack this change is to abdicate our role as citizens. We must be prepared to sacrifice for the common good. Kenyans wealth belongs to all Kenyans wherever they are.
A system that will redistribute the little we have and ensure each child has enough to eat is the only acceptable solution to some of us. The current system that each day fails to punish the economic saboteur cannot be allowed to continue.
Therefore we advocate for a Chinese-like penal code. We want to see blood of those economic suckers. This is the only language they might understand!
We must engage the youth to become part of this change. Just like Gaza the youth must rise and fight for justice irrespective of the price they and families must have to pay. It will be in their interest to liberate themselves from the shackles of those who want to reap where they never plant.
