Huyu mbuyu ni wa power. Kuna vile anaweza improve Kenya mpaka @guka a-landing mara ka ashu kwa mwaka sio mambo ya ku-land tu chrisi na birthday ya wifey!

Are we better ?

Remember we sang 'yote yawezekana bila Moi'

Kumbe yote meant different things for different people.

Better.. for me means one thing.

The men/women in power serve the interest of the
so called common man.

This has not and i dare say will never be the case.

Glass half empty ? ..... Yes.

@Mtu Biz;

Are you suggesting that we are worse off today than we were in 2002?

The only way you can hold that opinion is if you were not in the country during the final 15 years of Moi, or you were too young to understand what was happening, or you were a direct beneficiary of the rotten Moi government {kind of like Sally Kosgei who cried uncontrollably when Moi boarded the presidential chopper for the last time}

But please note. I am not in any way saying that all my expectations have been met. All I'm saying is that we are MUCH better off today, than pre-2002.

While I don't understand what is meant by the term "common man", I can attest to fact that it has serve MY interests.

It took me 10hrs to drive down to Mombasa for my annual holiday in October 2001. It now takes me about 6hrs - including two stops for snacks and relaxation.

Before 2002, there were no beddings in the wards at KNH. Today, patients sleep on clean bedsheets that are changed regularly {I have visited three relas at that hospital in the last 12 months and was amazed)

Before 2002, it used to take "for ever" to get a passport. Today, the process is simplified and you get the document within 14 days.

I could go on and on.

But like I said, not all my expectations have, been met; for example, before 2002, we used to get shortages of sugar, today, we have one.

On balance we are much better off. And if we want to improve things even more, we must vote for people who have a good track record.

Not the Rutos, Railas and Uhurus of this world!

My best christian newpaper in kenya carries a prophecy at the backpage that raila will win in twenty twerof erections. Its discouraging bt it made me consider the fact that thou i do nt like the man, its good i leave space for God to guide us.
