Where is Kenya Headed?

Sometimes I have to wonder if the President, the Prime Minister, and all their underlings are aware of how absolutely disgruntled the general Kenyan public is. How long do they think they can keep looting, pillaging, scamming, lying, and not doing anything for the country before wanainchi start to take action?
Can the not read the warning signs? Do they ever read the newspapers and see all the articles criticizing them? Do they ever read the letters to the editor from wanainchi crying out for change and repentance?
Perhaps an unplanned visit to the heart of Mathare or Kibera would change them. Then again, I doubt it. It seems to me that their hearts have turned so cold and so hard, that no matter how much pain and suffering they witness, right before their very eyes, they'll never soften and feel remorse.
How can they possibly ask for more money, when they are pretty much the highest paid government ministers in the world? What service are they providing for all their high salaries? I haven't seen them actually accomplish something, pretty much since half way through Kibaki's first term. Since then, all they've concerned themselves with is who will run for and win the next elections. Why not actually work towards fixing the problems that the country faces?? Why not show the people that you actually care for the country you want to rule? Well, quite simply, because they don't care. That's why. They own real estate all over the world. They have their offshore bank accounts full. They have their brand new Hummer. What more could they want?
Just like a man cannot serve both God and money, he cannot serve both his country and money. All of them are slaves to money and power.
And when they come through town, all the traffic is swiftly moved to the side of the road, all the street kids miraculously disappear; all the problems with the city or the country just don't show their ugly little heads when the big boys are around. SIP's. Self Important Pigs.

There are many people in this country with money. There's no doubt about that. There's no doubt that there's a huge gap between the rich and the poor. But most of those people are not paid that money with the view that they are supposed to serve the country. Most of them earn or steal that money for themselves and their families.
THE GOVERNMENT IS THERE TO SERVE THE PEOPLE! Why then, are the people serving the government. How is it that government officials can just raise their already bloated salaries on a whim, without even having to pay tax? How is it that even with these massive pay increases, they are still unable to aleviate poverty and hunger? What makes them think they have the right to ask foreign governments for money to help them "aleviate hunger?"

One MP's monthly salary could feed pretty much everyone suffering without food in this country for a week. And he probably wouldnt even miss that money. Its pocket change to him. Besides, we all know it's not his sole source of income.

WHAT IF EVERY MP TOOK TURNS TO GO WITHOUT ONE MONTH'S PAY FOR A YEAR?
I think that would generate enough money to solve the current hunger problem. Judging by the figures I've seen concerning how much they are paid, how much allowance they receive for entertainment, vehicles, travel, etc, I don't think that's too far off the mark.

Which brings me to my next point. What the hell are we doing giving land away to Qatar for farming and food generation when we can't even provide enough food for ourselves!!?? What ever happened to sovereignty of land between set borders? We're whoring ourselves out for cash. Except its not us doing it. It's not the wanainchi. We're the cheap, powerless whores, and the politicians are our abusive, greedy pimps.

I don't know where Kenya is headed at the moment. I do know that no Kenyan that I know is happy or satisfied with anything the government is doing right now. I do know that after such long drought the country is under alot of strain. I do know that people can only take that strain for so long before they break.
Whether Kenyans will unite and fight against the corrupt, selfish, greedy leadership, or whether they will let themselves be bullied into tribal clashes again, I do not know. Let's hope its the former. Lets hope the bastards in power aren't able to divide and conquer again.
