Pope visit a blessing for Kangemi businesses

This is very encouraging. Kenyans coming together to welcome the Pope who visited the poor and the low class citizens in Kangemi. Kenyans are indeed very enterprising and hardworking too. Given an environment, they can advance their dreams to actualization. As advised by the Pope, we all hope that our political class will unite and fight against tribalism, corruption and uneven distribution of resources. We all need to educate our young children and equip all hospitals as a first step to having a healthy nation. God bless Kenya.

SERVE AND SUFFER: Unearthing shame of Police life - part 1/2

Time has come for the Kenyan leaders to address the plight of the middle and lower class of Kenyans. Politicians have for so long taken Kenyans for a ride. After getting to Parliament, they raise their salaries and allowances at the expense of our police officers, Nurses, Doctors, Teachers and other Public Servants.
This is just but one case of shame that has brought down morale of our Public Servants who are expected to deliver yet with no facilities or salary.
Corruption will therefore remain top in our country since this officer will look for other means to educate his/her children or pay for house rent. The people who give this assistance will in return receive favor in other areas.
With the new political and administrative dispensation under the new constitution, all people must be treated equally. Our politicians must stop taking Kenyans for granted and make laws that deal with wealth creation and distribution, remuneration of Public servants and equipping our public servants.
This is now responsible journalism with an intention to bring change. Congratulations. 

NCIC PROBE 3 KIKUYU SONGS.

To the people of Kenya, politicians and political parties will come and go BUT Kenya will remain. Commissions and commissioners will come and go BUT Kenya will remain. These politicians and commissioners should not drug the country to their mess. We must as Kenyans be aware of our common enemy. Poverty, ignorance, lack of good health facilities, poor market for our products etc. Let us not allow politicians and their appointees divide us. There is nothing that puts hate against the common Kikuyu, luo, mijikenda, kamba, kisii men and women. We live together, intermarry, do business together and even worship together. When politics come in, we look for negative things in all of the other tribes...  We must be proud of our ethnic backgrounds. Let us build on our diversity.  A kalenjin in Nandi will grow maize, a kikuyu will buy the maize and transport to a luo who buys it for ugali.  A kamba will perfectly apply his skills in making sculptures and rubber products... Mzalendo Kibunja should join the KIE for better lessons in primary schools so that we can educate and kenyanise our children from baby class. We must learn to live together. We must prevent the political class from dividing us.  What tells of a culture includes, a language, a song, a mode of dressing, artifacts, food etc. A tribe is not known by the names of politicians or rich people. Let us as a country be careful as we approach the next general election. If we start with a wrong footage as far as tribal insecurity is concerned, then we are in for a rude shock.  

Law makers or Investigators?

It is interesting how parliamentary committees have become a crime investigation unit. How competent are the mps to do these kind of sensitive job? Aren't we trending on dangerous grounds as a country to let Mps some of whom have never gone beyond secondary school to do the work of the professional CID unit? Some Mps have been accused of being corrupted by interested parties so that the reports from their work can be favoring a particular angle and this is not the way to go. There may be a mistake or may be a crime was committed during the whole DE LA RUE  saga but the Mps are the wrong guys to do these investigation. I wish the media of which i am a member to ask where the investigative arms of government are. What is the work of the fraud unit? Why do we have the anti corruption unit? Where are the CIDs? and all the others... I think the Mps should only receive reports from these units of government and table these professional reports in parliament and parliament to make laws that will prevent such mistakes from happening. 

 It is also a big mistake to have professionals who have been given their work by Kenyans and especially under the new constitution taken to task  by Mps whose professional background is in question or is not known at all. 

Last week, the commissioner of police was told in the face that he is incompetent by an Mp and yet it is the same Mps who have made it difficult to have them investigated by the police... These laws should be amended and only the Mps can do that. Why should an MP think that he is a know it all just because he was elected to parliament. They should allow professionals to run different sectors for us to achieve the vision 20/30. An MP should listen to an advice from a police officer in terms of security, a teacher in terms of education, an agriculturalist in terms of farming, a Doctor in terms of health etc. It is so weird to have a minister of health who will think he/she can handle health issues yet he/she has no medical or health history.

 Kenyan Mps must rise up to the occasion and  let our country be led and managed by professionals and for the Mps, theirs is to legislate not to interpret or enforce the laws. Thus the need to quicken the full implementation of the new constitution to enable the President hire professionals who will manage our government and professionally drive the country to achieving the vision 20/30.

Can someone tell the minister for trade to tell us why there is a ban in exporting meat to Dubai? Can the minster in charge of foreign affairs tell us how many Kenyans are in deportation jails in Saudi Arabia? Can the Minister in charge of immigration tell us how many Foreigners have acquired land and IDs in Kenya and how? Can the minister of medical services and health tell us how many dialysis machines are there in Kenya and in what condition are they and the cost a Kenyan in Isiolo pays to get that services?

These are the issues Mps should be handling not campaigning and doing investigations.
