KEY TAKEAWAYS
There is too much confusion in your government. You appointed most people from your tribe to various positions. But we accepted. The good thing is, as Kenyans, we have the memory of a warthog. We already forgot about the appointments and we are back to our miserable lives
Dear Mr. President,
I know that you do not read blogs. I doubt if you watch or read the news either because you are the newsmaker. Being a Christian, I doubt if you will watch or listen to a Malaya talking.
I also know that being the President, Kenyans pay for whoever handles your Twitter account. Probably this online letter might not land on your desk. Hopefully, Itumbi will share the link on the Statehouse desk.
Mr. President, you are the President. There is no doubt about that. You and your microphone-loving Deputy President are the leaders of this country. It is a fact, and you have no business reminding us because we know.
Mr. President, of late, you are talking too much. You are all over and everywhere, launching and commissioning anything and everything. We understand you are a “hands-on” person but you just can’t do everything, Mr. President.
The Bible, which you so love so much says that “In talking too much, sin is born”. Recently, you said that you wanted to deduct 3 percent of our meager salaries to pay for your Housing Fund so you leave us with 97 percent. How now? Why would you embarrass yourself like that? You don’t know about PAYE? How about NSSF, NHIF, and other “statutory deductions”? 97 percent from where now?
Mr. President, the same Bible that you so much love says that a wise person listens, and a foolish man talks. You can never learn if you are always talking. You can never progress if you are always the smartest in the room.
It becomes worse if both you and your Deputy President are talking at the same time. Your Deputy President is the worst when given a microphone. If it were up to us, we would have enacted a law that makes it a criminal offense for the Deputy President to be seen near any microphone, or prosecute anyone who gives him a microphone.
Mr. President, you won this election through the millions of hustlers that you promised to protect. Now, day in, day out, for any opportunity you get to move closer to a microphone, you make fun of them. It is like you hate them. You hate the poor. That is why you are always making fun of them. They cry you smile and laugh.
Things are so worse that your Cabinet Secretaries are now demigods. Look at Moses Kuria, arrogant and bossy. You said you fight corruption, but when the media points it out, Moses Kuria calls them Malaya and even threatens to teach them a lesson.
For the first time in history, you gave us one of the lost clueless cabinets. Even your political mentor, Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi never gave us such a cabinet. Each one of your Cabinet Secretary, if he or she is not insulting someone, they are somewhere either stealing or invading people’s homes.
There is too much confusion in your government. You appointed most people from your tribe to various positions. But we accepted. The good thing is, as Kenyans, we have the memory of a warthog. We already forgot about the appointments and we are back to our miserable lives.
Mr. President, please, just shut up and focus on what you were elected to do. I can assure you that if you remained silent, even if you won’t work or deliver on anything, we shall get used to it and move on with life. But every time you speak and make a new promise with many others unfulfilled, you make us start regretting our choices, although I know we shall still vote you in again and again.
Tell your Deputy President to avoid microphones at all costs. Let him focus on fighting Chang’aa brewers in Central Kenya. After all, he has made it clear that he is not our Deputy President. That is why sometimes he even talks in his mother tongue without giving a damn.
Mr. President, you are less than a year in the office but we don’t care anymore. We don’t care whether you promise or you don’t. Whether you will deliver or not. We just don’t care. But we would appreciate your silence at the moment.<<CONTINUE READING>>
