The ‘big day’ is a few days away
and The Dread is yet to make up his mind on which Thief-in-Chief to (s)elect to
lord it over me over the next five years.
The available options do not make
it any easier for me. We have people who have been in government or leadership
in a general sense since I was born all those many years ago but still think
they represent change. Then we have those who think leadership can be bequeathed
hereditarily. We also have those that think gaps in leadership need to be
closed, we have chewing gums that think it’s all about looks, and even a
religious zealot guised as representing the common man’s view has his hat in
the ring, among a host of others. It’s all good. If I need to close my eyes and mark the first empty space my eyes land on, so be it. The most important thing as a nation of diverse people is making sure we exercise the so called democratic right peacefully. The memories of five years ago are all too painfully vivid and I’d hate to think any right thinking Kenyan would want us back there.
If you happen to wander from the
more popular blogs and land your eyeballs here, please make sure you select
your thief in peace and please do not hack me to death if my thief is different
from yours. Remember they may be different but the victim of their impunity is
always common; you and me. Plus you won’t get to read this back page blog when I’m
gone.
Rastafari Bless!
