Wrote this a while back and lost it in storage, i hope its not irrelevant as yet even though we burnt their coffins just the other day.
I am so pissed right now I do not know
where to start but i will have to address it, because the only way i am able to
get rid of the rage building up inside is through writing. Actually, this is
like a sign. Whoever supported the bill should not even be re-elected to parliament
or be any leader for that matter! You have no idea what Kenyans want. Just go
home! We don’t need you and your greedy self to represent us.
Each and every single Member of Parliament
wants a send off worth 9.3M after doubling up their salaries somewhere in the
middle of getting bored prioritizing Kenyans needs and wants. I’m lost. Have
you heard yourselves asking that? Are
you out of your minds? You want a state burial.
Because you are what? A hero? You delivered us from slavery in the 1900s
and you’ve been with us through the journey? Some of you are way illiterate to
know the meaning of that. And just so we are clear, you earn it, you don’t just
demand it. And expatriate passports for you and spouses? Or is it with your
concubines? You want to rattle us then leave the country with orders for us
to fight against the neighbours we have known and lose the only homes we have
known our entire lives as you embezzle the funds you have stolen from us.
Do you know that there are people who lost
their lives and those who survived putting you into power are somewhere in a
camp: with nothing but the hopes? People don’t have basic needs; they have
lived in torn and tattered tents for years! Besides that, how many civil
servants are living on hand to mouth budgets because there’s too little to save
for essential things like medical care. I forgot you have time thinking about
that while you fly private jets to India and the UK and God knows where else to
get first class treatment. My bad.
Have you also heard that while you are busy
praising yourself for being the cabinet that took two weeks in Naivasha to
discuss the current constitution nurses were taking longer shifts to tend to
patients that are in hospitals that have never smelt maintenance funds since
they were built. Has it occurred to you that the most important people who are
teachers- they instil knowledge in all, are underpaid? Do you happen to know that you work for us
not the other way round? And you refuse to pay taxes anyway!! You have to stop
all this shenanigans and use your brains not your stomachs to think.
I also forget that you take credit for
giving the outgoing president a party!!! I can’t even shake my head because I’m
trying to figure out what type of folly has swarmed your brains. Of course you
didn’t have popcorn, biscuits and juice; you used state money for the finest
cuisine the world has to offer. I bet you even asked a foreign chef to do that.
I won’t be surprised. We wouldn’t be mad if you channelled those funds to build
roads like normal people with functional drainages not those you blind us with
fake drainages and then when it rains like it did over the Christmas season we
are left with potholes all over you won’t even know we had a road to begin
with.
Kenyans do not want perfect leaders; we
just want to see the people we elect be our voices! We want someone who
understands where we have come from and knows where we are going. We need someone
who is in this by heart. Show us you got our backs and we would’ve earned
yourself all the state burials and expatriate passports we can offer. We don’t
mean speeches and empty promises, action speaks louder than words.
Tell you what? It’s been real. If you did
not invest well with your hefty salaries, too bad for you because we have been
enlightened and we are not going to vote none of the vulture back. We will be
just fine with the people we will see fit to lead us through.
