To Uhuru Kenyatta. President Of The Republic Of Kenya.

Dear Mr President;

Sir, I write this since as it seems, everyone is writing to you. First Mohamed Ali and quickly following Raila Amollo and many others there after, so I thought why not. Why not write a few lines to the same president who has made it so easy for anyone and everyone to address him anyhow and everyhow.

Dear Sir, I am not writing this hoping to be one of your adopted kids, no. Not that I would mind being under your wing as your little brother, no, I do need a big brother of your calibre, and boy wouldn’t that do good! But rather because Sir, I think you are losing touch.

Of course I know that you have DP Ruto there 24/7 but sir, Ruto is one with you. You still need a little brother who can complain. Ruto is a bully, we need him because at times you are too soft. We need Ruto because like Wayne Rooney he is not afraid of anything. We sometimes wish that you were like that.

But we understand that you have to be the gentleman in a country that never had nobility. You have to be the voice of reason. Like the terrible Mpeketoni ordeal. What really happened Sir? Because we know that Kenyans were killed by a blood thirsty gang of Godless Cains who somehow could distinguish Kenyan tribes.

As the story is told, the killers of Mpeketoni called their victims by name. This was not only the government's version of the tale but the witnesses and survivors of Mpeketoni's as well. Persons, businesses and families were sought out particularly.

When you read your speech, you told as clearly that the hand of the opposition was in business and with time Sir, we have seen your see in it. Now we know what you were talking about.

Sir, before I go further, let me take this opportunity to ask you with all due respect to let Ole Lenku go. Not that I hate him, not that Kenyans hate him but because Mr President, no Kenyan has faith in him. Please take time and let that sink in.

Mr President; and please don’t get bored by my repeated reference to you by your authoritative tittles, someone, it seems, has to in order for you to grasp the reality about what/who you are. 

Kenyans elected you, and as we believe, you won by a big majority. So Sir, we fail to understand why you have made it part of your manifesto to play soft.

The Al Shabaab is not there to dance to some Kenyan zilizopendwa. Tax payers moneys, millions worth, need to be seen right and about. Millions of Kenyans' Shillingis mpesad to the security system has to already be accounted for. You Sir, you are one steep behind. Because you told us about the homegrown political threat, which your company did nothing about it. 

So let's for a moment forget about Al Shabaab and cross our fingers in that you are dealing with that ethically.

Your dilemma stands. You won’t be more loved by playing soft. You won’t be more loved by being Mr Nice President. Learn from you predecessors Kibaki and Moi how to handle one Raila Odinga. You are already a good president, but you need to be a firm and a decisive one.

You are armed with this knowledge: Al Shabaab is there to stay until you smash it; Raila does not fight for the people. Al Shabaab is bloodthirsty, and Raila fights only for Raila and he will suck you dry the minute you play into his hands. (Listen to Lucky Dube’s song Dracula uki chill na Ruto.)

Raila will suck your blood for as long as you let him to. Don’t you buy into his national dialogue rhetoric knowing very well what a snake he is. Remind yourself at all times that the opposition is willing to treason and swear him in as president, and that will happen when you as the president fail the powers bestowed in you.

That said Sir; there is the question of insecurity. The whole of Kenya is looking up to you. And by the way Sir, that means the whole of Kenya. I know it might be hard especially at a time when some Kenyans have seen the red lights (red lines closed) sent forth through the so called “peaceful rallies” but you have to somehow include everyone (but the rotten apples (persons)) of the 42 tribes of Kenya. Find a way to reach their hearts.

The prayer thingy is good, really good, and the most believing Kenyans are with you on this one. But don’t let it look like you are afraid of one Mungiki supporter by the name Raila Amollo. I have met him and as a lesser entity I can say this much, the guy is just a mouth.

Not that I don’t respect him, Amollo has gone miles for Kenya. He has been there for Kenyans and actually, he is always there when disaster hits Kenyans. Of course apart from the Mpeketoni massacre. That is the one time he was not the first person to visit the scene.

El Presidente, on a lighter tone,  Kimayo, Gichangi, Muhoro. Are you happy with these people? Really? And if you are, what is it that you are not telling us, Kenyans? There has to be something that these guys have done or are doing that makes you love them so. Kimayo to head KWS and KYS, how did you get to that conclusion?

Mr President I am not at all trying to question you, but Kenya has bled while these guys stood at attention. Is it about loyalty? Or do you owe them something?  What is it that makes you hold them tight in place when every Kenyan shouts sack them!?

President Uhuru Kenyatta, you are a good president at a time when Kenya demands a better president. 

We need to see actions not words and just to remind you, your words were kusema na kutenda. Words and action. That is all we want Mr President. God bless you as you lead Kenya in it’s times of hardship, trials to prosperity .
