The future is with us, it is in our hands and with an ambitious constitution we should be steadfast in ensuring we live by the contemplations of the constitution and perpetuate the Kenyan spirit of hard work and diligence. The future is an imagination, and so is progressive and success. How we evaluate success is a matter of discretion and contextual, that is why in my previous blog, I mentioned why for sometimes we have been celebrating mediocre achievements.
As if that is not enough, the glory of our developmental journey as east Africa's largest economy can only sound as an insult to the masses languishing in abject poverty and despaired at the mercy of ignorance. Being part of the society and with a keen follow up to the recent unfolding events, protecting our territorial integrity and securing our borders seems to be a matter of priority. Its shameful that we should be reminding our security agencies of such a fundamental measure at such like time when our house should already be in order.
Must our heads be bloodied before we can be vigilant in protecting our territory. Our carelessness has shamefully been exposed to the world thanks to major General Micheal Gichangi and company. should that therefore kill our spirit, I hope not in this season.
Back to business, the elephant will still quench its thirst regardless of the noisy frogs at the river. Alshabab is struggling to be a necessary evil in our society and to kill the Kenyan spirit and make sure our economy is back on its knees. By the way that is achievable, if we shall stick to the current status quo and ignore the call for vigilance of changing and rearrangement of our apparatus. How long shall alshabaab remind us that the enemy is in our bedroom and unless we act, the wounds on our bloodied heads will soon advance towards our brain cells.
Does the recent events at the mall reveal who our real enemies are, sometimes back i was sceptical about president Kenyatta's regional integration and the sudden focus on intra Africa trade. How dare did the American government release travel advisory to its citizens yet such people claim to be champions of antiterrorism. If terrorism is a global threat, since when did Kenya become an alien to the international community to be victimised further by a terror attack. Did this American government walk their talk by selfishly advising their citizens never to come near our town? Now did they do the same when their Embassy in the heart of Nairobi was attacked? But at least we now know who our friends are, do not misquote me, I don't think I have mentioned China, I haven't heard of that name since our streets started flying with ammunitions.
After a period of disguised unity #weareone, the only time Kenyans discovered that they have a common external enemy, the hullabaloo is on, the blame game is now louder and our short period of patriotism was finally and officially called off when reports had it that victory is in our hands. This reminded me of the famous Afro cinema slogan 'Afrocinema continues shortly'. if I were to put down the chronicles that followed the westgate terror attack, then my book would be titled.....'the brouhaha continues shortly,' for shortly, we became patriotic and generous Kenyans, and shortly our social media platform was full of kenyanism and condolences. How sweet and how compassionate can Kenyans be. but back to normal, the tribal propaganda is back to reign our airwaves, the blame game and name calling, as if we expected our sense of kenyanism to prevail, I am shocked that even the military is suffering victimization.
I am Kenyan and I love this nation, blaming Gichangi is human nature, that I must confess for in psalms 127, the lord reminds us that he is the ultimate custodian of our estates. Lets go back and pray Kenya, lets establish a guaranteed safety with the almighty, for in distress our so called friends ' Americans' ran, our self proclaimed friends 'China' were still in slumber land, but God will keep us away from the enemy and like David, he will deliver the enemy into our very hands. Pray hard and work hard too. Shalom
