New Laws of the land.
Nothing has
brought much bigger debate to the land than the controversial new laws that our
president signed into law last year. Apparently these laws infringe on so many
of our personal rights that experts claim them to be the worst move by a Kenyan
government yet, I mean these laws make mututho likeable.
However that
being said, I think we are all concentrating on the wrong things as a nation,
we have mps fighting for salaries, MCA's becoming the new pigs on the block,
teachers on the other hand are back to their regular intrigues (I mean
seriously, why do they even go back to work if they know they are going to
strike over the same issues each year?!!... this time just don't go back to
work unless you get everything handed to
you and not as an "I owe you", if not then do not go back on the
streets again). oops, I veered out of topic, sorry for that.
State Of The Nation
I am all for the
idea of people working hard and making money, hard work should and needs to be rewarded,
humanity cannot be equal....those who study hard deserve better pay and , there should be a gap between the rich and the
poor. We are a growing nation, oozing with potential, our GDP grows every year,
we are the envy of the world, we have room to grow and be the best yet. In all
honesty I couldn't be more proud of being Kenyan than I am at this very moment.
But I believe with great success comes an even bigger responsibility.
Opinion
In my personal opinion, I believe there should
be a base, a level that no Kenyan should be below, no child should go without a
proper meal, nobody should live on less than a dollar a day, we all deserve
access to proper healthcare, we deserve and have every right to security,
nobody should be living out in the cold. We all see those children malnourished
living in poverty stricken areas, not even capable of shedding a tear,with no energy to even cry,completely given up
on life. We all see that man who waits for the rest of civilization to retire
into their homes and get into their cozy warm beds so that he can pull out his
little carton box and sleep in the cold streets of Nairobi,no meal,no warmth and at the mercy of mother nature.We all had that classmate who came to school in torn uniform,hand me down books,chapped lips and a certain smell that clearly indicated their clothes were not completely dry. We need to ensure
every Kenyan is above this point, proper meals for everyone, proper shelter and
access to affordable healthcare for all Kenyans. If we can dedicate ourselves to ensuring that every
single Kenyan is above this cut off point, then we will have achieved a far
greater feat than any dual carriage highway, standard gauge railway or port we
could ever think of building.
Think about it,
it isn't illegal yet.
