is it that we find it convenient to send of people silently.. or it is due to our own personal shame that we could have done what they did if we were in their shoes...
or can we blame culture for our exceptionally 'good manners'
Michuki's travesties as a colonial D.O are known. a guy unafraid to finish african villagers supporting the mau mau..
and in recent times willing to forcefully evict his neighbours using government money to expend his shamba in Kangema
i will not forget to mention the stranglehold he and cronies have on coffee returns to the
farmer..
hapa ni wazua..
some half-truths there..
It is true, he terrorised the mau mau fighters and championed for the course of the colonialists.
Its true, He was called kimendero (crasher)
Its not true that he forcefully evicted his neighbours. They were paid for their land,......Did you know that after baba jimmy became president, a few neighbours were handsomely paid to vacate their land?
Bring on the good deeds of the mzee now....you seem to be from his backyard.
He achieved in:
Mungiki menace
matatu madness
nairobi river
development in the constituency, especially this term
water connectivity in the last term 2002--2007
employment connections to constituents
and kangema is more recognizable because of this mzee. Most constituents now brag they are from kangema instead of using muranga to describe where they come from.
