Am with you here.Which parent would stand watching for over 5 hours waiting for a rescue team.
Yes rains were heavy and risky but standing aside and watching is not the natural thing for a parent to do.
It gets worse when you hear that all they did was wade through and no other life saving skills were applied.Waiting for Serikal is what will finish us.
that was the first thing that occurred to me on reading that post by kisero. a parent would have been the first person to wade through that water and not stand around seeing their kids possibly dying. but maybe given his influential address book he may have thought he was better off being alive 'co-ordinating' the rescue than dying in carrying it out. or maybe he didn't have gumboots. or he had other children to think of.
Anyway, his child and other children are now safe and that is what matters.
Brother Tycho, he should leave theatrics to politicians. He ought to have fussed over his child, probably taking a day off to be with him/her, considering the agony and discomfort the child went through the whole night - while he watched.
His being 'forever grateful' to Mr. Mbuvi (honestly I don't understand for what, sending in water waders, maybe) shows ,,,, arghh!
Then he lectures and pontificates - to 'us' perhaps - ati "We must improve our ability to deal with whatever nature throws at us."
Anyway, it is his opinion and Mr. Mbuvi his preference. I exit and wish y'all a pleasant weekend.
Hooray! It's Friday evening!
