The decadence observed at Masaku 7s albeit exaggerated should
serve as an indicator of the collective moral decay that the country is faced
with. There is classy and trashy and if the photographic evidence stands, then
we are in trouble. But we have chosen the Kermit the frog's route; it's none of
our business. Instead we leave our ingenuous young daughters to learn through
experience as we busy ourselves with politics. Instead of addressing that which
is directly in our control; morality, we are busy fueling the careers of
acrimonious political leaders whose sole concern is their profligate lives.
They hit us with egregious actions and what do we do in return? Do we censure
them? No!!! We worship them, we fight for them, we serve them, then re-elect
them. We are very quick to vindicate our 'beloved leaders' at whatever cost
simply because they are of our tribe; they are our brothers and sisters.
"Who cares what he did?", "Money has been poured." "He is our ticket out of poverty." These are but a few of the thoughts that we harbour come elections. One year down the line, "naomba serikali itusaidie (I ask of the government to help/intervene) as we languish in poverty, as we are slapped with yet another electricity tariff increase. We must be the most amenable crowd there ever was. This is a reflection of how much our education system is wanting. If even our learned brethren fall into this crowd, then how qualifying is our scholarship?
If we are oblivious to the fact that we error in the same manner term after term, then we are innately parochial. If we can't understand how detrimental selling our vote is, then I maintain, we are in this poverty for the long haul and vision 2030 is nothing but a mere statement. If you watched soccer and celebrated 'our Origi' who by the way chooses to play for Belgium and did not question why he wouldn't play for us or why we are losing our talent; If you did not demand that we appreciate our talent and remunerate them as they deserve, but instead ironed your suit for Uhuru park to support one of the two sides, then you ought not to complain that your salary increment has not come through since 1900. You ought not to take to the streets at any point because clearly your priorities are deeply equivocal.
If only our passion for our leaders was commensurate to our zeal to build the nation (not hanging your coat in the office and leaving only to pick it up at 4), to offering moral counsel to our young ones or even to innovation, we would never languish in poverty; we would not be faced with such moral aberration. Instead, we would be spending more time discussing a science project to elevate hunger in Turkana as opposed to going on and on for hours about Vera's life choices. We would have a PLAN and not living the one set out for us. If today your plan involves either: waiting for your godfather in government to get you a job or deal, someone's plan to reap big so you are a beneficiary or waiting for that huge inheritance, then again I repeat, GET A PLAN. I do not apologise if I come across as impertinent, I'm simply being veracious!!
Rant over!!
