In a quagmire of distress

Seated at the office and perusing the publications of Forbes magazine, it dawned on me that Kenya as a nation is very conspicuous among its African peers. Nairobi is recognised internationally as an entry point to east Africa and Africa as a whole. but maybe this time round, we have been on the international media headlines but all for the wrong reason. today i read that Nairobi is among the worst reputed cities around the world. this is a study done and we don't seem to be performing any better.

Looking at Nairobi, our political system is at its worst. the government of the day cant seem to agree on any one thing. the discord and dissension is sending shock waves to our tranquil society and soon our tribal temperatures will burst out the tolerance balloon. word is going around that the two top most government officials might be holding different opinion on the issue of icc. They might be machinations to have the deputy president put into custody in the event the president will not honour the court summon. We are proving to be pivotal in international politics especially with regard to the recent unfolding events at the African Union summit.

Nairobi is now besieged by controversy and discord. it is very clear that alshabab have and still are hiding in our bedroom. our house seem to be divided against itself and soon it might never stand tall again. internationally, it will soon be a no go zone if indeed we shall continue pointing fingers and letting our enemy stipulate and draft our calendar. The suspicion amongst different religious creeds is rising, churches are going up in flames following an event of a slain sheikh. am still contemplating on what the future has got in store for this nation.

with tribal undertones becoming louder, skewed government appointments and excessive corruption within our corridors of power, it is difficult to comprehend if indeed we are moving towards vision twenty thirty. it is impunity for an entire kenyan public to be aware that 300 billion of our taxes cannot be counted for and allow that dust to settle in the sinking sands. it is impunity for an entire cabinet secretary to contravene the rule of law and establish an office that is strange in this constitutional dispensation all in the name of national interest.

it is impunity for us to be silent when the human rights commission is in a quagmire waiting for tribal mobilization to set stage for the next officer holders. and our impunity has now gone overboard, the social media is burning with venom of tribal talk, frustrated kenyans have now resorted to vomit their tribal bile on the social media platform for the sole reason of party affiliations. Freedom of speech and expression has now been undermined and it has escaped the moral fabric and is now reaching the helms of hell where cold heartedness is at its helm. the glory of this great nation is fading into corruption selfishness and an excessive tribal appetite. our sense of nationalism has now been downplayed and going forward, the kenyanism in our young brothers and sisters may never be testified. I do not know what might just happen to us next
