'Kifo Kisimani' n 'Betrayal in the City'....two different books, two
different authors, two different languages...but they have striking
similarity! True stories indeed which I undeniably think will stay with
us until that time we will have true Mwelusis and Adikas. We will not
afford to let history pass by if we do not have genuine Ategas, Nyalwes,
Jusper Wendos, Reginas among the few reformers. Not until we citizens
realize the true meaning of unity no matter the ethnicity magnitude, will we be
able to fight the Bokonos, Batus, Mulilis and Mr. Bosses of this
generation.
Betrayals are the order of the day setting alarm bells ringing and
urgent formation of 'Commissions of Enquiry' ('Tume ya Uchunguzi ya
Butangi'). Just like Kithaka wa Mberia puts it, we have never seen
implementation of any commission's findings; not the Ndung'u report, not
the assasinations', not the post election one, not the numerous
scandals...just to mention but a few. Once again do not forget the most
recent one from the TJRC...enquiry indeed!
No issue can be concluded without passing through the political
battle field. I clearly remember Mosese, the senior lecturer (Betrayal
in the city) found himself in the wrong hands just after conclusion of
Adika's funeral that had been turned into a political rally instead of
mourning. If you are clever enough, you should have spinned your memory a
few weeks back to get the true story.
Just as the illiterate Mulili got his job in the Kafira police
force, I have seen it happen where I live and I believe I will continue
to witness it.
It is a matter of who you know or how cowardice you are
and not what you are nor how cynical you are. Mr Tumbos and Mulilis
have denied chances to genuine candidates!
For how long shall we live in this cold blooded Kafira and brutal
Butangi? We need to change which calls for sacrifice...
CHANGE is as a
good as dying and resurrecting as a new being, fresh blood, new body
full of synergy and rejuvenation and most importantly, forgetting you that
never existed before.
