Scandals

It has been from one mishap to the next. I’m telling to be a Kenyan at the moment one has to be made steel. There is always a twist in even what seems to be something that would otherwise not be an issue. At the moment there is fuel shortage rumours are rife that it is artificial (problem started as soon as fuel prices started going down). This after the problems with maize meal ‘shortage’ and who can forget the famous ECK debate. It is like we are stumbling from one crisis to the next
So we all know the last elections were grossly flawed – each side of the political divide know who stole what. But we have chosen to turn a blind eye on what is bothering us and instead. I am against the trend – and it is in Africa where elections are held something happens and then coalition governments are formed. So for the time being to avoid anarchy we sweep our issues under the cover and somehow expect life to be
Is it me or are we living in a bubble?

By the way I have no solution of what has to be done all I think is there is a class war already underway. Ordinary folks on the street are simply tired and disgusted by the way the rich seemingly get away with murder. Should paying or not paying taxes be something to debate about in public? We are talking about huge allowances.

You know sometimes you wish we go back to the basics – I mean when scandal was about sex and related gossips. Now ours is about lives of seemingly powerless people. Anytime give me a Monicagate in the White House just leave the rest of us to be!

Lest I forget I’m not suggesting Kenya is unique in the sense that other countries are any better. But it says quite a lot about the leadership here – they have a government communications department yet very poor PR. They cannot read the public mood before introducing a bill in parliament.
