Brilliant article.
silas nyachwani’s rant loses structure when he decides to cover everything…He should have focused on one area…say the rot in varsities or kiraithe’s Chinese moment then next week focus on another issue…say, tenderprenuership.
To an average Kenyan, self-actualisation means joining a government parastatal, looting it dry, building some ugly hotels or resorts and then walking around telling the youth about the value of hard work.
I have previously decried the moral bankruptcy of the men who are presently running this country. But I now think that what they need is sympathy, for they don’t know what they are doing.
More than half our GDP is a huge debt that we will pay until kingdom come. Half of the proposed government projects are merely conduits to generate money for few government top cats.
The Sunday Standard revealed two weeks ago that Kenyans are being treated like crap by their Chinese employer at the SGR. Guess what the government’s response was?
The official government spokesperson defended the racist treatment of Kenyan workers as a drill to make them mentally and physically strong and excused the killing of wildlife, saying it was not intentional.
Eric Kiraithe is a poster-child of men from that generation: no sense of patriotism, no sense of responsibility, and cowardly to say the least.
There were a million ways the statement would have been worded to appease Kenyans without offending our colonial masters, the Chines. But that is asking too much from the government.
The rate of unemployment is tittering towards 50 per cent. Half of the goods in circulation are contraband, unsafe for human consumption, despite having so many well-funded multi-disciplinary agencies for checks.
The Kenya Revenue Authority constantly misses its targets because of their laxity, but the solution from Treasury is more borrowing.
We are now building infrastructures of little value to our livelihoods so that some men can steal for the 2022 elections.
And talking of 2022 elections, we have hardly recovered from last year’s bad elections, yet we are already in campaign mood.
Idle politicians, schooled sycophants are hopping into helicopters on Sundays, attending churches and spewing political nonsense afterwards about political debts that are being cancelled by a vernacular song.
And speaking of churches, they have become so materialistic, we no longer have preachers who can speak against the excesses of our leaders. I feel ashamed even calling them our leaders.
We are breathing the most polluted air on the continent. The number of street families is growing. Our universities are impotent, many having intellectual menopause and no longer produce anything, not even a single academic paper, or conduct any meaningful research as dons are constantly on the streets complaining about perks.
Free primary education has lowered our education standards, and high schools are ripping off parents despite the education being subsidised. Our public hospitals are dead, and private hospitals are so expensive that without insurance, getting healthcare service is next to impossible.
Parliament is useless, the Judiciary ineffective and the Executive asleep
—you rarely feel anything coming from them.
That is why small traders are having their businesses demolished without due process. Small traders are being forcibly kicked out of their premises, with arsonists on the loose to clear the way for greedy developers.
The excesses of the powers-that-be in this country can drive you nuts. But we are too powerless, too cowardly as a citizen to raise our voices.
The much we can do is celebrate on social media when any perceived evil person dies or is diagnosed with cancer. Then every Tom, Dick and Harry, especially Dicks, will say, it is comeuppance. Come on, man!
Every day, I wake up knowing too well that we are a failed generation, and it will be another three to four decades before we can undo the greedy and incompetence of the current regime.
We are going to waste so many years, surviving mediocre leadership, mainly because they took us through an education system that teaches us never to question anything, bora uhai!
Makes me wonder where our soul is. We teach our children about Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, which is a very selfish model.
We should teach the better theory of Four Kinds of Happiness that are less individualistic. The lowest kind of happiness being food, clothing and a nice house. Second form of happiness is achievement, the pleasure we get from earned and recognised success, not stolen, as it is common here in Kenya.
Thirdly is the pleasure we get giving back to society. Not what we have stolen, not for political mileage. And finally, the happiness of moral joy, when we surrender ourselves to a noble cause or unconditional love.
With that, we won’t have people who steal even as families sleep hungry or mothers lose their babies to preventable diseases, all the while accumulating debt that will burden generations.
Either Africans are stupid or we are bewitched.
mind opener . most of the things tumekuwa tukilia hapa
Another senile talker would still blame high population.
Kenyans hawajachoka.
The day they get tired they will do something.
In the meantime they do what they do best… Vote for the wrong candidates and then spend the following five years whining and bitching about it like little pussies…
Watu bure kabisa!.. kikikikkkk
True we are one huge shit hole country that has entered to the Chinese debt trap
It is the fault of the british!
