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?
