ON OUR KNEES FOR KENYA

George_MainaHello friends. Let me take us back in 2007 when the whole world held it's breath; Kenya was in flames. Two weeks Before the 2007 general elections Njenga Karume( defence minister) John Michuki( minister for internal security) Hussein Ali(police commissioner) had made alarming statements on how they would respond to any post-election unrest. Did they have any intelligence that their would be civil unrest in the country after the election. Certainly they knew. The election faced many malpractices and was heavily rigged. Remember Karume had warned Kenyans to remember that he was the defence minister and was quote saying 'kibaki cannot lose this election' What we are mostly now saying that our candidates cannot lose. We are very sure they cannot lose. What makes us think so? What if they lose?....interestingly most of the leaders by then are in the grave. Who perpetrated violence! Lucy Kibaki had even warned Ida Odinga that she would not enter statehouse! Friends today I was reading the papers. The headlines were alarming. Police will arrest anyone who reject election results... I have no words. I identified my home town Thika and my neighbour county Murang'a as hot spots for possible violence. In 2007/2008 I never witnessed any violence near my county. Many regions have been blacklisted. Friends as you pray for peace mention these parts of the country by name. Pray for leaders. Pray for their speeches and public utterances. We say NO to VIOLENCE, No TO NEGATIVE ETHNICITY. Nobody is safe. No region is face. This time round it's not easy in all seats beginning with mca , w/rep, governors etc. Followers of each are crushing with each other daily. Imagine what would happen in Kiambu if there were rumors that Waititu had been rigged in favour of Kabogo Or Dr. Mishra kiprop has been rigged in favour of speaker Terer in Kesses constituency? Friends Time is now. Don't say that you'll begin praying in July. Time is now. Stand for Kenya. Refuse slogans like that one in Murang'a 'maitu ndacenjagio' or that one in kisumu when mammoths turn our for Raila's rally in meru 'hii kitu tumesachukua' and many other slogans that may propagate violence... Time is now. In our knees for Kenya

DEAR JANE LETTER.

Hi, I don't have to know how you are or how you've been. My main concern is that this letter reaches. I finally calls it a day. Matters our 2 month-long relationship. That day I remember it like today. The day I met you, the day our love flourished. I don't know what brought you in my life or rather what brought us together. But of course it's emotions and affections as my love doctor tells me. On that line when we were being admitted in first year. I can't tell how we had affection on each other in such a short time. Finally we were admitted and promised to look for each other thereafter. That time as a first year year in campus I think I had contracted the bandwagon syndrome. Was I your ilk? I still wonder. What brought me in your life. I'm just lamenting for letting me in your life. Yes you're beautiful my beloved. Your complexion is becoming. Your body is flattering but more is needed to that for a life partner. I'm saddened that I got attracted t...

CONQUEST OVER TERROR; FADING MEMORIES

Image
Two years down the line victims of the Garissa University terror attack are yet to heal. To them triumph over terror will take time. On that fateful day the world held its breath. The terrorists attacked us on our own soil. To many it remains to be recondite. Many were left flummoxed. 147 lives were lost during that gruesome attack. The rescue mission was conducted higgledy piggledy. For the survivors their stories are those of blood, anguish, infuriation, helplessness and shock. It's a dark day to remember for the victims whom the dark side of life paid them a gruesome visit. Many were left maimed, crippled and handicap. Two years on their stories have changed. Yesterday during the 2nd memorial service it was evident. Their determination to live and excel in life. The victims of terror today are gallant soldiers of life. Their determination with life is incessant. As they narrated their ordeals cascades of tears were inheritable. Many tried to hold them but they could not stand...
