DO U FEEL MORE KENYAN

"Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, non but ourselves can free our mind" i need not to quote the author of these words because you dont need to be a jamaican or a reggae fan to be complacent with these tenets. More than recent, kenyans made a choice, a bold decision that not only signified the passing of time but also symbolised the advent of a new dispensation that comes with a generational change.
It was a pivotal season on the arc of our history. It was a turning point from the order of mediocrity and servitude, to the times of self realization and empowerment. It was a decree suppose to consecrate our territory with authority and sense of responsibility. We were sending a message to the world, that Kenya as a nation has come of age, our democracy is maturing and our sense of responsibility is the the motive that propels our response to the call of duty. We as a people have sailed through the dynamics of history, amid delicate electioneering seasons, heart-breaking political assassinations, hard economic unfoldings and delicate tribal relations. we have endured corruption in our institutions and ignored the wet blankets who stereo typed Africans as a brood of mediocre without ability and the necessary aptitude.
Ours should be a testimony of resilience, perseverance and tolerance. We as citizens of this great nation, we have sacrificed more than we received, we have served more than we have been served, that is loyalty, and that too, is solidarity. Maybe its time to say enough is enough, and break away from the past. a past that is synonymous to ugly. A past that only ignites emotions and regrets, but also that which we would rather forget than consult, because our future is begging and demanding our vigilance.
it is now time, to rise to the occasion and attend to the missing links. it is now time to walk the contemplations of our constitution and live by its spirit. it is time to meditate and recite the tenets of this great doctrine in our hearts. Kenyans, its time we shall practice what we preach and reap where we have hard-fully sowed. It is time we shall rediscover our sense of direction and strategize on how we can bridge our aspirations with the material fruits. It is that time, Kenya, we should emancipate ourselves from mental slavery.
