Kenyans have mastered the art of over-emphasizing on what doesn’t matter leaving what matters hanging. We behave as if something is very important when it’s not and totally leave hanging those very aspects of our lives that need to be taken care of.
A case in point is the story about Wanjiru; he even deserves a statue along a major street in Nairobi because it would not take some people a lifetime to achieve what he did. The details right now are not very important but we’ll talk about them anyway. Just because he was a young man with man it didn’t mean that the elders could not talk to him. May it have been suicide or malice, as I have said it doesn’t matter. All the people around him must have realized that he was at one point or another troubled young man. How much does it cost for an elderly man worthy of his dignity to give a much needed advice. But since we are all very good at being “vigeugeu” we let a man who was a source of inspiration go down in self-destruction. To be honest I still haven’t come into terms with the fact that he is gone. When I do am not sure whether I will be able to prevent myself from C.O.L (Crying Out Loud).
And now the elusive part, people don’t even want to ask what happened but they are very much interested in how many concubines he had. Now lady’s who’s the next to claim wanjiru’s estate? When did you cohabit for three years to even consider yourselves for such a position or was that clause a typographical error.
That reminds me of one Ruto, I can’t believe he says that Dr. Mutunga is not a right candidate for the Chief Justice’s post, all for what because he wears an earring? Would we rather have a leader of Integrity who wears one or another who doesn’t and full of favour for the political class. I trust the way the interviews were conducted and I believe that the two names forwarded will go through and be our next Chief justice and deputy. Until then I will keep vigil on whoever wants to derail the smooth running of the process.
