i just quit my plush, ministerial job......am I a hero now too?

For those of you who dont know what im tryng to talk about and who Im calling out....well let me first introduce myself...Im young and black. Now that that's over with, lets get ourselves into the murk that is kenya's political scene...Up and down we've gone, see-saw style, through our political hisory, so you would think we've learnt a thing or two....we'll we have. At least some of us....

The most recent major political event relating to Kenya is the resignation of a once-thought hardliner, from our dearest demi-god's demi-angelic cabinet. That once-hardliner: Hon. Martha Karua MP.Gi....something.

I guess most of you are cheering her right now for being a tough nut and doing what the system finds blasphemous. As did I....then I woke up and thought: Wait, we had a botched election not too long ago....and its botched results were massively supported by....ummmmmm....wait I seem to forget....Charity Ngilu....NO,ummmmm Michelle Obama......NO! Oh yeah...Martha Karua....Who then told ANY opponent or anyone with a problem with the results to "go to court...we have a system in place".

Now now now...is it heroic to support a system, say the courts work, then quit because the method of appointing judges (a court process) is flawed? Is it only flawed?Would she have rsigned if she didnt want the presidency? Before y'all begin to throw darts...just think about this....take out all emotion and keep only reason...you get a system in place in a largely suspicious way and then get upset when that same sytem bites you....?Wow I wish we could all get away with that..

Martha, yes what you did a couple days ago was heroic. Honestly it was. I personally feel that there is a grand succession scheme within your former party, PNU, that is taking even the executive away from focus. I feel the Hon. Prime Minister should do the same because if your work is to supervise and co-ordinate government functions, and everytime you give an order, someone else gives another and it is that other order that's followed, then you should realise that your position IS indeed untenable and therefore a waste of public money...The people, rather than the system should get to choose their leaders....power inheritance is one thing that some people don't seem to understand, only happens in monarchies... and for that I give you my applause. Keep THAT up and I might actually begin to like you.

But in 2007, regardless of which side of the election you fell, everyone who voted and watched or listened to tallying, knows that there was a problem with that election. Some didn't care that it was wrong, some knew and loved it, other knew and regretted voting, some lost, some won....some.....DIED!Maybe if you'd have spoken up then....even just to say...'stop,listen and think'...slowed down a bit and listened to opposition, maybe just maybe....YOU'D HAVE BEEN A REAL HERO!We are waiting....I am waiting, there will be another election...we'll be watching. PEACE to Kenya....LOVE to all people.
