About Me

I am what you would refer to as a dreaming realist(if ever there was such!)...I believe in the power of dreams and hope and hard work and hanging in there. Above all, I believe that sometimes strength is found in standing alone. I am a work in progress. I sometimes work and sometimes breakdown but I always manage to stand up and try again.

politicians drama part 1(waki report)

you know i think the joy of voting is found in that hope that the leaders you are voting for are going to put your concerns above their own.

Well in Kenya you would think wrong!

the politicians got the positions they have by outright if not outrageous lying and then once they get into the positions they want they shed all sense of decency and honor.

i mean i am sure that there are a number of politicians in Kenya who do not fall into this category but as yet they are unknown.

the latest in the politico-drama season one, other than then refusing to get their salary taxed because they sponsor chicken fight or whatever in their constituencies or really do not want to be as miserable as those they represent, they have decided to reject a report that they themselves sanctioned and advocated for.

you would think the drama ends there and again you would be wrong, the story line deepens.

this report has not been rejected because it is found wanting i mean they would have to read it to find that out, but their rejection is based on the names that have been inserted to further investigated as regards their role on the post election violence.

i mean i answered the whole one can not persecuted unheard and that is why the names are to be investigated and not just hanged unheard.

oh and did i mention the English twist, the European union are threatening to pull aid from the country.

i mean this would be a great idea if it actually worked i mean haven't anyone learned from that lunatic in Zimbabwe.

you deny aid to the country so you take away a little bit of that money from some of our dear corrupt politicians but more importantly it hurts the poor innocent mwananchi who already is battling with hunger, disease, unemployment and much more of the worlds sadness.

so i ask what are we to think or to do because the only sure thing is there is an upcoming part two to this drama!

Insightful again! what's happening with our leaders?
only recently two government ministers here were acquitted of corruption charges involving workers funds. What's sad about it is that the president did take part and influenced a parliamentary decision and a report which had implicated them was thrown out.
Wanna know wat is at stake? over $5 million of workers money was lost just like that!! its sad!
