I DREAM

                                                                                                                                                                                           
Someone  once told me that  cemeteries are the  the richest places on earth . do  you know why? because there a lot of lying dreams in the same place and environs.  but that's not even the point, the point is I dream of a Kenya that is heaven and earth different from the one am seeing today.


I dream

i dream of a country that is devoid of tribal antics than development records, a country where a common Wanjiku & Otieno  will afford a three course meal without strain in an average day, I look forward to a state where security will be the least of our worries, let alone the recent rape cases am hearing of, will this Kenya come ?

I dream

I dream of a Kenya where media will be having better headlines than the ones am used to, you probably know the usual Uhuru vs Raila headlines, the headlines that are always catapult by a tribal school of thought to say the least , the headlines that have always plunged our country into a skewed way of thinking that "our tribe is the best mindset"

I dream

i dream of a Kenya where the civil society will be fighting for the common mwananchi without serving partisan interest or malicious intentions therein. a civil society that is not affected by the usual 'gun for hire syndrome' but rather , one that is always having the human interest at first sight.

I dream

I dream of a Kenya where people will bre judged not by the spellings of their second names but rather what they stand for in ideals, a Kenya where tribal political gimmicks $ rhetoric will have died a natural death paving way for a sober leadership that is always idea based and issue based in thoughts and deeds

I dream

I dream of a political landscape that will be conversing on issues[not characters] and canvasing regions[not political tribal strongholds] in this country to market their ideas in a much better refined platform.

I dream

a Kenya where terrorism will never be our cup of tea but a thing of the past, where our police force will be more equipped and made more versatile and kept up to date with the changing dynamics of crime, i look forward to seeing a Kenya where walking at night around moi university and all the other places will be a matter of option rather than caution, a Kenya where ills such as rape, banditry and what have you will only be a subject of imagination and history

I dream

I dream of a Kenya where jobs will be granted on three major accounts and that is mainly : merit, merit and merit.  A time when corruption offices will be contemplating on closing shop allegedly because the society will be sober and devoid of crime

I dream

 I dream of an education system that is going to nurture generations into how to deal with real life as opposed to the current one which of course is just exam oriented and bakes students quarterly let alone the usual half we know, a Kenya where a huge chunk of the populace will be learnet enough to realize that our leaders have never been up to any good by assembling us in 'tribal tables'  oftenly branded as political parties. How do we explain political parties founded on a tribal skewed way of thinking anyway ?

EVEN then guys, dreams , am informed cant be a reality until one wakes up and does something about it. Are we really alive to these thoughts?  Are satisfied with the raging status quo ? I rest my case

SENETOR MELLY'S CONDUCT UNBECOMING

I am really appalled by the naivety of my fellow students at #UOE, ..So naive have we become to the extend that a senator whose political fortunes are dwindling is trying to earn a name out of the issue. First of all, who doesn't know that #university of eldoret is a national institution? who said its a kalenjin thing ? who said that being in ELDORET means that only kalenjins should get jobs ? 

Senetor melly should be told straight to the eye that his leadership style has never been that fruitful ever since he came into office . Its so wrong for him to incite students on tribal lines when a jury is out there that Eldoret is among st the volatile areas. It therefore should klick to every ones mind that our actions as leaders depict and portrays a different message to outsiders, investors and even employees. It taints the image of the institution , the county and Eldoret town which of course has not settled down from the injuries it got in the #PEV. 

I am not in any way saying that the Vc is a saint in this but i think the approach to this issue is wanting and totally out of order.  For instance, who has reported the issue to the relevant authorities such as the EACC?  Has the senator launched a formal complaint in the senate ? Isn't this a ploy to reinvent a political career that is in its dying days ? why are students being divided on an issue that's really not for them ? who amongst the students , senator included , qualifies to be a #vc ? Why are we invoking the tribal overtones at such a time as this when the country is healing from the ashes of 2007? Why is Melly trying to put a tribal agenda in a cosmopolitant county as Uasin Gishu ? 

                 TO MY FELLOW STUDENTS, THIS IS A FREE ADVICE.....

You are being hoodwinked, you are being used , you are being taken for a ride, you are doing yourselves more harm than good. Take this or leave it , i just told you for free. How can you as the elites in the society be used to propagate a tribal agenda?
