POLITICAL COURTSHIP THAT DOESNT SERVE THE NATION

Dear Kenyans,
I applaud any measure to bring peace and normalcy to beautiful Kenya. I welcome the two principals working hard to navigate the delicate balancing act that would be required to make this happen.

I am ashamed though, as to the price tag of reaching a political settlement. We now have the biggest, bloated, wasteful cabinet since independence!(yes each minister will drive around in $100,000 mercedes benz). Clearly this cabinet was designed more for ethnic balancing than any other useful purpose. Other than the two principals(President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila), we probably needed twenty key ministries at the maximum.

We didnt and got 40+a retinue of useless assistants per ministry.... despite the growing chorus from Kenyans, and inspite of the tremendous challenges the 600,000 plus IDP's face in our country.


A day of pride, strikes me again as onother day of political, and institutional rape of the people.

I am reminded that it could be worse, were any political solution not found. True!!!

I also know better. Most people will die not sensationally(hollywood style on CNN, that midwifed this unjust settlement), but a more , slow, silent death occassioned by the continuing travesty of onother game of musical chairs.

To those true poor patriots, my continued prayers......to those who will survive, dont vote next time...
