All these challenges are rooted back at history, and the most common phenomena
that derails the process of reform is greed and corruption from all frontiers from
ologarchs to reformers. I remember tribalism well back during mois time it was
quite conspicous, where majorly all arms of governments and security forces were
converted into nandi fiefs. mouths were not running then because people were blind
to these facts or rather there were deals agreed on in board rooms (the need to
deploy activism to popularise the common man's needs had withered to dangourous
almost to forgetable levels as a result). The activism in kenya is hypocritical because it only seeks to give gratification to few rich families/individuals who may have access to gorvernment grants, educational sponsorships
or are relatives to persons with or have had influence.
That is the trouble, in kenya, we have a few rich men that feel they can represent
the poor at the national level; and in the end act as highly politically conscious
robbers snatching away even the little they possess. They take advantage of the goodness
of the poor and utilize it to gain their selfish ends. This ideologically is a form of slavery.
The issues of cattle rustling/irrigation for the arid northern kenya and its environment
only surfaces during the elecion cycle. If we are looking for development or satisfaction
of the Kenyan/wanjiku, then an uhuruto government is the solution to all the ills that has
befelled this nation from the past. The battle against tribalism can never be one by one man.
keep on referring to nyerere and TZ, you forget there had to be the ordinary TZ present
themselves to make detribalization process in TZ successful; afterwhich TZians were never
rememered in the process neither to date are given the credit, all credit in history however
went to nyerere to the point that he's idolized decades after his death. The war on tribalism
can only be won through collective effort.
The theme we are discussing even wthin these pages are tribal divisions but from actively polarized zones.
The luo do not mind having the nandi take over all institutions but will cry loudly if kikuyus take virtually all institutions.
That is the biggest hypocracy and hard yet to get rid of as a country.
Right away as a common man I am happy because the foundations or ethnic comfort
zones that politicains had constructed to consolidate themselves are beggining to
be shaken by the process of devolution, and also a new generation has taken over
power that will restructure everything. Leaders with a history of corruption cannot bring meaningful
development to the peopleTalking about abject poverty in the areas specified,
it will only take a change of guard to make the economic situations in those areas you have mentioned
change to the better. One cannot guarantee the success of those areas if they still have the
same old faces trying to manovre their way to leadership using the six-peice ideology as a means of survival and desperation.
Now the people of kenya have a new constitution, and it is only beneficial if they get new faces alongside to implement it.
The meaning of democracy is accepting what has been agreed upon by the majority, we move on and achieve growth together
Perfect script, if i add a word more i will dilute the intent of the message. Kudos
