When the basket has no oranges, we will eat the bananas therein

Sometimes blessings come in disguise, albeit, hardly realised when they do.

The issues affecting the masses have been subject of debate and politicians have used that as bait to hook voters on their noses. I entirely disagree when politicians refer to a part of Kenya as a “Party-Area”. We only have one nation, Kenya and Kenya belongs to Kenyans.

A Politician who cannot withstand good done by someone else to his people is unfit for the narrow gate of ‘leading’. There is proverb that suggests clearly ‘good ought to be praised’.

If time is ripe for our blessings to come, let not any voice speak against it. A sane person, with goodwill sprouting deep-down from the soil of his heart ought to acknowledge every good thing done to his people—and accept it in good faith. Finding sin in good just because it has been done by your political enemy is unprogressive.

Leadership at its core should be inspired by willingness to obscure evil and praise good. It’s high time for Kenya to embrace progressive political ideologies. Politicians overtime have taken support accorded to them for granted. They think that is supposed to be ‘them’ doing—not someone else.

What I think is that they don’t understand the pain of being called a squatter or landless. They do not understand the discomfort of riding a bicycle on a road with many potholes. They do not understand the pain of waiting for a time of relief that seems never to come.
