The Mau, The Hague, The Water

I lack words to express the feeling that accumulates up in my throat making me almost choke on the disappointment and anger when I hear careless comments from the political class. The kind of incitement is just the same used during the election that has led to the scourge that befell this mighty beautiful nation of Kenya. On the contrary I must commend the Prime Minister regardless of his intentions for making a decision about the Mau saga. He stated categorically in parliament that he is ready to pay political cost for ensuring that the Mau is restored. Now before his foes come out gun blazing that he has an agenda I would say all of them have an agenda but whose agenda befits the nation interests, must be commended...

The Mau issue, well personally I see no cause of discussion, hold its ok we are human beings thus we ought to take diplomatic stands since we got straight thinking civilised people. What amounts to civilised talks and diplomacy? As it stands we have illegal people occupying reserves meant for water catchment which has adversely affected natural resources. So critically is that paramount to discussion or immediate action. If I were the president [I know am not] these discussion would be done when we have the 'Vijana kwa kazi' planting trees to the reclaimed land of the Mau. The sickening part is the revelation of the same fat cats who claim there people be compensated from before eviction. Where is the former president to comment on this issue apparently there is allegation the son owns huge chunk of land there. That is the case of where my people [Kenyans being used again]. I want to believe deeply that there is no vindictive motive when they say Mau has to be restored unless ofcourse its a detour of agendas from the Hague...

Speaking of the Hague, been listening to them speaking carefully listening to them trash others. Some not even sure know what they are saying its amazing the way they all were scared ranting around like little scared rabbits. Just a fact we gotta get the perpetrators the atrocities that occurred. The innocent blood that poured cries for justice the longer we take the longer it will anger them and the great nation will suffer. Look at this, how do we explain the short rainfall, the persistent lack of water in the tap in Nairobi especially given the fact ironically Nairobi is a word derived from Maasai thats supposed to mean a place of cool waters...

The water issue is a thorn God knows... Why isn't someone taking a firm stand I dont think just having guys digging up wells thats enough. Where is the supposed Minister for water who supposed to be taking care of the issue? The whole city is left to few cartels who are fleecing it of moneys by supplying water at the door step for an exorbitant amount. Where is this water that is supplied to the doorstep coming from why not pipe it. Actually in the first place water was and I tend to think is supposed to be supplied for free by the council because thats an amenity the City is taxed for. Then I never understood how water was privatized because that was the beginning of the water problem. The person involved gotta step for sure...
