What Happened Now.

Well the real story actually is that the younger president of the republic of Kenya did direct the minister in charge of land and so forth to revoke a stinging 500 000 title deeds!

This in all manner and activity is the boldest move the government of Ouru or if you so must insist Uhuruto, has executed since they cursed and swore to leave not even the smallest, little  stone unturned when it came to matters Kenyan heart.

But is someone saying stuff like thank you? No, everybody is about too or overly busy either objurgating Kamwana, the younger president’s move, or screaming achomwe to the land stealers! And at the rate that things are unfolding, Kenyans will be left with the bitter tasting question, (what happened?)…as usual.

Thing is, and this is really where the jigger found the toe, the choppers of the rich, and soon to add value, Lapsset wise, beautiful Kenyan coastal Lamu are literally being hidden, protected or if you so wish held for a ransom by the mighty opposition that tells all evil but sees, no evil!

Don’t ya love it when they say we want every culprit brought to book? And then it turns out that the culprit was actually their love whom they can’t, oh no, give up? And so the talk turns into something like, it’s just a political gimmick from the G.O.K? But do I say?

And you like, if we can’t start here then where, good Jehovah!? Then where shall or should we start putting things in order?!

It has not been a Friday for Kenyans of late.

Because some of the last few Sundays have been polluted by bloodletting. And that dramatically deletes our Fridays.

The youth’s frustrations, misguided by religious and/or political losers(you may read leaders if you want) have found Kenya a football field fair for a bullet, a grenade or a bazooka and Kenyans, all the same Kenyans, are the sitting ducks!

And we all thought that Westgate would never ever happen again! Or rather, the G.O.K stood with the opposition and said “never ever”!

“We are invisible as the lions on our shield!” Said the younger president; those thin cowards …wataona. We will hunt them down in whichever hole they hide and…watashikwa, watatandikwa, na wafungwe huko huko tu! And the last part was if they will not have died in that “lawful” process.

Needless to even try to mention, then came Mpeketoni, not to say the hapa kule grenades just before, after which the world cup joy was messed all up or all messed up; whichever way you choose to look from!

As if that was all.

They came back the following night and did their thing and left as they came, in no hurry. Like it would end there, they also gave uncalled for visits to the neighbouring parts within that Lamu County seeing every visible lion on the Kenyan shield!

Now, it seems, it’s a bit of a calm in the coastal breeze and we keep our fingers crossed that that is somehow, through a miracle or real work(also a miracle) done by those commissioned to, going to hold and the hyena will cease stealing the children of Kenya!

But what is to be beheld, if it isn’t the son of Jomo on a plan to America!? Flying majestically to the same land that told him, or Kenyans for the sake of the matter, that choices have consequences!

Has the first ever not-pink-president, the first ever president of the states of unity whose name also starts with an O, started to smell the coffee from his father’s homestead? Tell me, has he?

Anyhow, we still can not for sure put too many eggs in that same basket that the younger president took with him as breakfast and lunch while in those states of unity. Even after a successful journey over lakes, seas and most probably oceans, we still can not leave behind trustingly or testingly, a baby or a wife in faith of safe keeping by the same called states and/or our begotten son.

That’s how far things have actually gone a part. I mean what do you say of a son who say’s stuff like; ng’o! Huko sikanyangi! It was a stepping stone, I went I saw, I smoked a joint, and won the presidency, but tha dust..ma(e)n…tha dust!  Like I should go back to that village, eh eh eh..you know, where my grandma lives…ko what? Cowgetlow? No..Kogelo…..yeah that’s in Kenya you know y’all? I mean hey ma(e)n..I mean,,,he..

That’s what happened, whether I know it or not.

But besides this our lost son, we have a lot to look forward to. I mean like the referendum thingy. Like the G.O.K actually living up to its threats and arresting Orengo for being a minister when the land was chopped and grabbed. Just picture these things happening. And CORD spilling whatever beans it hasn’t spilt yet. And above all, Moses Kuria winning the Gatundu South parliamentary seat, against who again?

There is a country called Kenya.

There is a country called Kenya where everything you think wouldn’t happen, actually happen.

Last week a mother fought off a hungry hyena that had invaded her home with intent to chew on her kids! And that, armed only with a piece of firewood! According to her, she beat the shameless beast so bad it scampered away screaming in pain!

Like things would end there! The beast went on to attack two men sleeping in another house before villagers who had by now had enough of the otherwise “unthreatening” creature brought it to its miserably hungry life’s end through a mob justice; also common in Kenya.

But good people, that’s not nearly the best. The best that Kenya has ever pulled was when a lion or lioness, one of the two but not both, brought up a baby gazelle as its own after feeding on the little thing’s mother.  Protecting it from hyenas, fellow lions and even sheltering it from the rains!

That’s when we really took the world by a storm!
