WILL THE HIGH PRIESTS OF GREED SUPPORT NAMWAMBA’S MOTION?

Pigs lick blood outside parliament in Kenya (14th May 2013)

It is very crystal clear like the biblical ‘Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin’… it is audible to the deaf and visible to the blind, that our greedy MPs popularly known as “MPIGS” will pooh-pooh the ambitious motion filed by Budalangi MP Hon Ababu Namwamba, seeking to reduce salaries of public officers. We need to feed ourselves before feeding the nation has been the modus operendi of our Members of parliament and other public officers….Leaders in name only. This gap must be closed. I dare them to prove to the people that they are not as avaricious as we have always known them to be by supporting the bill.

If the motion by Budalangi MP Ababu Namwamba is passed by the national assembly, the President, Deputy President, Cabinet secretaries, principal secretaries, MPs, senators, governors and their deputies, the two speakers of Parliament and the clerks of the houses will immediately have their basic salaries slashed by 50%.

The motion also pursues other drastic austerity measures including reduction of the number of counties and constituencies to cut down on the bloated figure of elected representatives drawing hefty perks. Indeed the motion is good and should be supported by every compos mentis or otherwise reasonable Homo sapiens. Somebody needs to explain to jubilee folks and any other legislator who may want to oppose the motion why this motion is of national interest, why they should rise above party parochialism and support it. I beseech the lawmakers not joke with the future of Kenya. The soaring wage bill must be tamed. I support the motion.

 

TANA RIVER COUNTY: “THE KING’S ARBITRARY DISPOTISM”

Essential liberty is being eroded simply because “some people” want to show us who is boss. And guess who the sacrificial lamb is? It is none other than Kwaraa recently referred to as Mandela. Accused 6 days ago for “undermining a public officer” which public officer? Who is the complainant(s)? Who are the witness? What evidence do they have against him? A case of intimidation? Most probably.





This is how shameless and “Principled” our “bosses” are and because the matter herein is a case without a complainant, you can take this to the bank dear “bosses”, you may kill the messenger but not the message. Your subtle approach has failed. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced.





I put it to you that the confluence of the rivers of dictatorship from the heart of the “bosses” drowns any gain principle they purport to hold. However, I will leave that to the court of public opinion to judge… As for the most of our analphabetic police officers, they might not do much to protect Tanarians when it comes to security but they do a great job of intimidating innocent citizens.









Anyway, this fascist bullying must stop. Free Mandela Now.

TANA RIVER COUNTY: WE ARE YET TO ENJOY THE FRUITS OF DEVOLUTION

The members of the Facebook group "Tana River County Kenya" have seen unpleasant posts directed against the governor and his counterparts….and despite the preponderance of despicability, not all are a vile. As much as I castigate the insults fashioned against the government officials of Tana River County, I congratulate positive or otherwise constructive criticism fashioned against these leaders in equal measure.

I will not waste my energy asking what the governor and his counterparts have done in terms of development for this county so far, because it is an undisputed fact that nothing much has been done. Since the Governor assumed power in 2013 we have not seen any commendable developments in the county. We did not have to wait for the World Bank report for us to know that our leaders have failed us, no, we have seen for ourselves.

H.E. Amb. Hussein Dado – Governor
County Government of Tana River

The County Government of Tana River is fashioned on omnipotent and imperious executive, sycophantic county assembly, timid opposition and subjugated people. These tyrannical regimes are premised on the four pillars of endemic corruption, lamentable incompetence, gross violation of human rights and negative ethnicity. Yet this problem of incompetence and failure to perform to the people’s expectations is vile, nauseating and perilous.  Resultantly, this has triggered the long quest by the people for positive change in the county.

This impotence in leadership has resulted in loss of public faith and confidence. Regardless, we the people of Tana River County are still hopeful that positive change will be realized in Tana River County in the near future. We are always praying and hoping for better days. But every day we crawl out of bed into reality that our government has not done much… and then worries start to add on…did we vote in the wrong leaders? Regrets are quickly replaced with fear, fear of the unknown.

Did we elect the wrong leaders or did we elect the right leaders who have deliberately failed, ignored and/or refused to deliver to the people’s expectations? Do we have a chance to redeem ourselves? Phalms 30:5(b) provides and I quote verbatim “Weeping may tarry all night, but joy comes in the morning” Yes, we keep falling but never defeated to rise again, come 2017 come, we the people shall elect performers and not people who have been vomiting on our shoes by sustaining the eating culture. The main duty of elected leaders is representation…we voted them in to represent the people and not their stomachs!!!

The executive arm of the government is composed of non-performers, egotistical, callous and incompetent leaders. However, the leaders of Tana River have two years to redeem their legacy. In the meantime, the people of Tana should remember that some of the people who vie for elective posts are good, some are bad and some are truly dreadful. Choose wisely come 2017…not on the basis of gender, or religion or tribe but on the basis of capabilities. I digress!!!

Freedom is coming tomorrow.
