Lawyer Donald Kipkorir donates 50K to KOT4Conje!!!

ot be a photo op. They can and should come up with more comprehensive policies of helping our heroes. Not go dump her in a hospital and leave.

I'm one happy b*gger!

I also hope it's a genuine need to help and not siasa ya votes!

@Bwenyenye Those points you've raised are absolutely true. Because there is a danger of raising funds soon for the wife of Wanjiru simply because he was a great runner.

But this is all about what we stand for as a country and as a people.

There is no giving without emotion. If you give without emotion, you are a politician in a funeral. There has to be emotion to give.

It's a question of what we are telling our children. Issues arise here that are important.

1. The state of mental health in our country
2. The state of gov't services to those that need it
3. The state of a nation where we dump our heroes and cling to our sonkos.
4. What you are going to tell your children about success and failure when you grow up.

I won't belabour any of those points. Take your time and think about them.

Most of us are parents here and we want to tell them that they live in a country where if they work hard enough, they will succeed and do better than us.

But is that the case?

I think the story we hear is that if you take advantage of someone else's misfortune and steal from others, you shall be successful...Heck, we shall elect you as MP, Senator, Governor, President, Prime Minister.

Here is a story of a poor young lady who had no education and insisted that she will not fail but become the BEST IN THE WORLD.

She did it.

Her story should be echoed all over this country. In every school, in every shamba in every muratina den.

But no!

KissTV decides that they will do the story coz its sensational. Bloggers decide to hate the gov't. Corporates which used to give her money dump her and say she's mwenda wazimu. Everyone looks and says, but she had money.

What we are doing is laughing at Kenyans who work for a living and are the best in what they do.

We must change that as a country.

We must fight for those that are the best and demonise those that fail.

I said yesterday that it is more important to start something than think and say you will do something.

After we started this here on wazua, Robert Alai has moved it further and they've raised enough for her rent for one year plus more on twitter.

So yes, Selah and Collapsable are right. more can be done. But we had to start somewhere.

Conje has been a role model in this country of success even without money, success even without political power, success without an education. Success because you want to be the best in what you want to do.

Conje can now be the role model for the youth of this country where we say. We shall support and appreciate those in this country that work to be the best in THE WORLD.

We won't watch you and laugh at you as you disintegrate into oblivion as Waititu becomes Governor.

We are a decent nation and people and we take care of our own whether the Raila and Kibaki gov't like it or not.

For those who've written to me. today somehow I don't have electricity in my office. I will try and call you later today to talk with you and chart the way forward.

Kuga na Gwika was always the best policy in this country.
