It is not a secret that politics brings out the worst in human nature – that makes it religion and politics as the worst thing that ever happened to human nature. For that reason I have always avoided politicians like a bad a habit – to cleanse oneself and maintain some level of sanity just keep off!
The problem is politics is part of life and one cannot dissociate himself from it – trust me I’ve tried to ignore anything done by the honourable men and women. Not just in Kenya, although we have a rare breed here.
Someone once said that if you are not moving on in life then you are backtracking – so I cannot say that Kenya is stuck in the same position. The world over things are moving on yet we are still dealing with the same issues.
The only reason the opposition are complaining is they are jealous of the ruling party’s opportunity to be corrupt.
The Obama election was historic feat during the last few days of the election I had this bad feeling that maybe it would turn ugly, you know people voting on other matters other than issues at hand. Formidable just how he played it cool to the White House; McCain had little to offer with the desire for change. I arrived in Kenya after the elections and everyone up to now are still singing Obama praises. But it has been a hard act to follow the politicians would rather engage in rhetoric borrowing ‘Obama phrases’. I was in Djibouti for a few days and once using my little French language skills I introduce myself and say I’m from Kenya, everybody thinks now we are part of the US.
So as I rejoice I hope Obama is not a politician they have continually disappointed me.
Talking of dealing with the same decisions – I need a ride and I keep mulling over getting one waiting for ‘the perfect time’. Previously I had a good excuse the public transport system was perfect hapa, it is a different song when it comes to public transport. I’m not even going to mention the traffic (OK it is horrendous most of the time) and it is like being in a war zone fighting other motorists.
