DON’T GIVE ME THE SUPREMACY BULLSHIT



The impeached and reinstated Embu governor Wambora could just have opened a Pandora’s Box. What is the import of the constitution if the institutions it establishes do not abide by the law? It beats wind out of the air just to stare at the Kenyan elite tearing at each other with supremacy talk.
Did we establish these institutions to check on the excesses of each other or did we establish supremacy debates? There should be a way in which we can reach consensus or else we be done with the current constitution and go to the former tattered constitution.
How can a country progress when every score is vindictive whence settled? We cannot allow Kenya to be sacrificed at the altar of greed and foolish outbursts. We cannot sit and observe the senate of foolish idiots grit its teeth to the county executive. We do not want to see the county governors, on the other hand like intellectual idiots lash out at the senate.
Such scenes are retrogressive and irritating. Are we so dumb that we cannot make institutions that can marry into each other and at least live happily ever after? Are our individual differences so promiscuous like teenagers that they cannot be quenched by compromise? Voices of reason and interpretive harmony are tools of progress. Selfless and control of personal emotions are key ingredients to cohesion. Accountability and responsibility are the only things that can send Boniface Mwangi into peaceful retirement.
We have become a society of constant wining. We have moved from man eat man societal to man eat men and still goes down under. We are no longer a nation. We are a jungle where, even in the real jungle, there is more reason than in ours.
As citizens, we need not protest for good to be done. We are tired. We elect in men into our offices only for them to turn wolves. What beats is how easy it is for a man to become a wolf and remain a man! Is leadership so inept that it breeds cannibalism instead of reason?
We need not find excuse for our disarray. Our current clamour for supremacy is born from our egotistical selfishness. It stems from colonial orphanage and poor or rather inadequate intellectual awareness. Our education is mottoed on the adage that the roots are bitter and the fruits sweeter which every interpretive African educated idiot on the seat of leadership takes to mean human oppression and greedy repossession.
When the new constitution was promulgated in 2010, every Harry told Tom that Dick will conform to it. It turns out that, the senate wants the constitution to conform to its wishes while the institution of governors is afraid of what the senate can do! Lest we forget, the National Assembly, which is supposed to be independent and check on the executive sits like a satisfied rabid dog as the executive squeezes the last of juices from the common mwanainchi.
Why then did we vote them in?

POSITIVE ASPECTS OF NASILIAN CULTURE IN BLOSSOMS OF THE SAVANNAH

SOME ASPECTS OF CULTURE ARE BENEFICIAL AND OUGHT TO BE MAINTAINED. USING EXAMPLES FROM THE NOVEL, BLOSSOMS OF THE SAVANNAH, WRITE A COMPOSITION TO ILLUSTRATE THE TRUTH OF THE STATEMENT Culture defines our identity and social relationships within a certain setup. Sometimes, some cultural aspects come off as bad while others can be looked at as good. However, culture only becomes bad when compared to another that seems superior. Many African communities found themselves at crossroads when the ‘superior’ European culture was thrown down their gullets. Nevertheless, many African cultures have grown into what they are today while some have retained what can be perceived as negative cultural practices. In the book Blossoms of the Savannah, H.R Kulet presents a boiling pot of cultural confusion within the Maa community specifically the people of Nasila. As we can see, some of the Nasilian cultural practices can be beneficial to the wellbeing of society and, therefore, should be maintaine

NEGATIVE CULTURAL PRACTICES AMONG THE PEOPLE OF NASILA IN BLOSSOMS OF THE SAVANNAH

The book Blossoms of the Savannah explores both the positive and negative cultural practices. H. R Kulet describes intimately those cultural practices he believes are best and on the other hand, lets us in on some of the cultural practices he believe were injurious. Interestingly, the negative cultural practices are aimed at women. The most poignant cultural practice that negatively affects women is Female genital mutilation. Although according to Parmuat, the practice was started by women to resist the evil Ilarinkoi, it continued to cause wanton pain and torture on women. Taiyo and Resian are determined to fight it. Resian manages to evade the brutal practice however Taiyo barely makes it having been forcibly cut. FGM is a global menace affecting millions of women in Africa and Asia. Although its benefits are only anthropological, its effects are very damning and could lead to death.  Second among the negative Nasilian culture is early marriage. Resian still has goals to fu

THE THEME OF INHERITANCE IN THE PLAY INHERITANCE BY DAVID MULWA

Inheritance refers to what is left by the deceased to the family in material wealth or sometimes power. However, the word could have diverse meanings when applied to works of literature. In this respect, David Mulwa looks at inheritance in various ways. The play revolves around a three decades old Kutula under its new leadership. Having achieved independence from colonial masters, Kutula is now governed by Lacuna Kasoo-the son of pre-independence King Kutula XV. Lacuna ascended to power after the death of his father. Although the King has adopted Princess Sangoi as his successor, he dies mysteriously thus handing the power to the greedy, self-centred Lacuna. As it were, Lacuna conspired with the colonial masters to assassinate his father King Kutula XV. Having assumed power with the help of colonial masters, Lacuna runs the government under the influence of Kutula’s former imperialists. He receives hefty loans aimed at ‘developing’ the country. However, the loans are meant to make Kutu
