I still love you

Its in times like this

That when you worry about something constantly

That you suddenly realize

How much you love it.

 

When they threaten it

With withdrawal of aid

They even suggest coup as the only way

And we know we will  pull out of all this

We will work it out

With/out their help

 

Look at where we are from

Look at where we are going

There is a whole many hundred's of years

 

Now we know

That you my country

Are the most precious

And we shall treat you like an egg

We shall endeavour to get out

Anyone or anything

That threatens you

Our Love

 

We cannot be without you

You cannot be without us

We are One

Kenya our country, our love

 

R.O. MAKES A GOOD STATEMENT

. Watching R.O speak on National Television was a good one. And he quoted one of the finest ones "Violence begets Violence".

 

It is inevitable that attacks on any community will prepare that community for revenge and must be highly discouraged.

 

HOWEVER, there is one thing i don't understand. That of Ilegitimate Presidencÿ. Is there such thing? Rigging an election does not make a president illegitimate. And thats the plain reality. Rigging elections only exposes the other party to contesting it. Rigging is supported/argued against by facts not law.  

Legitimacy of the presidency is determined by Section 8 of the constitution thus;

A person assuming the office of President shall, before entering upon the office, take and subscribe the oath of allegiance and such oath for the due execution of his office as may be prescribed by or under an Act of Parliament.

And as one of my commentors said

My biggest disappointment has been the justification of the initial killings with a wave of the hand and the qualification that they were 'spontaneous' .I was not aware that killing in the name of spontaneity and anger somehow made it justifiable. The 'look what you made me do!!' is a cope out.
We could have done better.

 

We could start by stopping being emotional about issues and look at them as they really are. Only then can we move to greater things like constitutional review (urgent) & forming peace & reconciliation instead of pussy footing on moot issues.

IF JUSTICE IS FOUND IN THE STREETS! OOH GOD HELP US

Everyone knows by now that a Member of Parliament for Embakasi has been shot, His name is Hon Mellitus Mugambi Were [edit]. Whoever did that killing should be rest assured that he is the greatest enemy of Kenya this today. I don't know that it is not a political killing, anyway RIP Were.

 

However i am deeply concerned at the level of insanity that is prevailing in Kenya. I hear the violence has spread to Thika & Nyeri. People have taken upon themselves to evict others out of their places of living. Dare i ask who is it that was given land for free that could be still alive?

 

Who has shown people that the only way out of their misery is to evict others who have nothing to do with their kith & kin being evicted.

 

It is a sad day we are having. May God help us!
