I,m one Kenyan who can state without fear of contradiction that 'I am proud to be Kenyan.'My heart swells with pride in the knowledge that I am one among many beautiful people,who have been blessed to reside in this part of the globe with all its rich heritage.
Having stated the above,I think part of progressive thinking lies in the ability to subject oneself to periodic self-introspection. The Catholics call it an examination of conscience. We(Kenyans) have this uncanny obnoxious trait of playing victims( myself included ).This manifests in our sub-culture of whining,fault-finding and complacency.We epitomize the adage Damsel in Distress (P.G Wodehouse)in most of our circumstances.Why? Fellow brothers why do we retreat to this helpless estate?If its not the politician,mungiki,police,the constitution,the census,the thief,traffic jam,the landlord,its the wife,the hubby,the girl next door or even Obama and his wife and kids.Is it really that bad people that we've actually run out of options?

Come on people we can change.We can take charge of our own destiny.We can take on any and every challenge life throws our way without taking cover in the safety of such ignoble traits.We can lead our leaders,lift ourselves from the shackles of mediocrity and haplessness to take our rightful place in the globe- which is at the top. A great people are not defined the abundance of their material content but the content of their attitude towards themselves and others. A quality that we possess in good measure but one that has been clouded by the negativity in our lives. Lets soar like eagles fellow Kenyans,na kwa kweli tutaendelea kujivunia kuwa Wakenya.

This aint nothing new,i hear it all the time when an election topic pops up.... so what is it this time?? new roads?? new schools?? maziwa ya nyayo?? ..... man its only a few who can honestly say wanajivunia kuwa wakenya. the rest of the population do not even have a clear idea whether they are in kenya,somalia,ethiopia or even uganda...

Its just me
whatever choice you make in life make sure that you can live with it.

Good thinking like Mr. Tea's is what we call progress. The attitude of kujihurumia etc is shortsighted and only benefits the politicians who thrive on making you feel bad,small and in need of rescue by them.
