Kenyans seem to underrate the situation we are in. Most witnesses of failed states have noted the advanced stage
Going back to today’s topic, Kenyans have failed to address the genesis of the problem we are facing.Mungiki without justifying their existence have raised fundamental issues which must be addressed. Their methods sometimes have been barbaric to say the least but that does not illegitimize their demands.
Oscar foundation has been at the forefront in trying to create a forum for those who have no platform. In a more civil way they had asked the same issues raised by Mungiki.If I was to turn myself to the devil’s advocate just like the Oscar foundation may I ask what’s wrong with organising Mungiki widows to demonstrate against the killings of their husbands? Don’t we pride ourselves as a democratic society? What options are left for these people if they cannot be allowed to vent their anger in public?
The many topics Oscar foundation raised touch the centre of our failures. By so doing he challenged the status quo.The powers that be felt it was just a matter of time before Kingara and GPO become a force within the poor masses. Their dining with the Mungiki gave them the chance to finish them once and for all.
Mutua without echoing Raila must eat the apple pie.Okondo did the same in 1990.GPO and Kingara’s deaths remind us of Muge’s road accident!
In today's nation Jecinta Mwatela is asking the Kenyan women "where do we go from here?"The same question seems to trouble my mind.What do we do?How can we stop the decay that is our country today?How do we change the many Kenyans who have grown up thinking their tribe,eating their tribe,sleeping their tribe etc.How can Kenyans debate a national issue without protecting their tribal interests?
These and other pressing issues must be dealt with so to have a common ground for our struggle.
