It goes something like “This politician said this”, “watch live here” and much other waste of corporate bandwidth that I’m yet to understand. Thank God tweets are limited to 140 characters otherwise we would have had to view lengthy articles with full speeches from some of our overzealously political media houses. Ohh. And I’m yet to find a Kenyan internet speed that streams live TV loud, clear and comprehensively. Of course sijajaribu fibre .
However, outdated and irritating their way of advertising their live stream is, I eventually got myself watching live, not really live but I set my PC to record both rallies to be watched later. Those who have better things to do other than sit around and get polarized by hatred charged rallies like me don’t prioritize these rallies. If they have something important to inform us, why not do it in writing, distribute their manifesto and let the citizens judge.
At least with written copies, we would have solid evidence of their promises should they fail to deliver. But the gullible and unreasonable mwananchi would attend anyway and yell their voices hoarse. (Are you paid yelling and shouting allowance?). Don’t tell me you cheer your leaders, actually you should know the difference between a leader, literally one who leads and can lay down his life for the sake of his flock or followers. A politician, one who tries to protect their interest and would lay down their life just to get into power. (This paragraph is so long, let me break it)
Stand in the sun for hours on end waiting to hear what you already know. Surely you got loads of time to waste guys. Why not find something that will empower you economically. Really, find something important to do.
You all have predefined perceptions on your leaders. Just hang them on the title there and lets have some reasonable here.
You watched the Cord rally, let’s head there first.
It was boring just the normal talk and some sort of lineup (I wonder if those men can actually run around the field for just 45 minutes) but if you enjoy watching lineups being announced, definalty that was the place for you incase you were too broke to pay your electricity bill and watch Real football at home.
But at least these are leaders, no one hurled insults or tried to provoke their main opponent, the Jubilee alliance. Kalonzo accepted publicly to step aside for Raila which is characteristic of a potential leader, all this I agree is for the good of the country. It is not very common for a leader to step aside for another. Actually, I forgot. Every five years, somebody gives up their bid to support another, at least the few selfless leaders do. Unleashed a few promises but when it got too boring, I stopped watching and played the Jubilee rally.
So shall we have some Jubilee here?
Noice, flashy, ‘digital’, ‘youthful’, sheng, did I forget something, add it to you list and lets continue. Actually if I were to attend this rally, it would have been to see Mwakwere move about his limbs (what makes it funny is that the guy believes he’s dancing) Why not have some real body shake like Shakira’s or Size 8’s. Hiring these professionals will save you the disgust of not acting your age.
If this meeting was to be named properly, it was the Jubilee attack. All they were doing was attacking and rubbishing the Cord presidential bid on age grounds. They never told us about their ‘ideas’. How they will implement their grand plans. They only want to be president because they are young. A bit of sheng to try and play around with the youths’ mind. I just hope that the youth are not foolish, illiterate and desperate enough to elect a politician just because he struggles to cobble up amorphous sound in the name of sheng. What the youth should be telling these rich and selfish boys is that they have to act their age and designation instead of trying to fool us around.
Okay, let me be straight here. These Jubilee guys are after presidency to protect all the property they have amassed illegally, forget ICC, that’s a tiny issue. They want to protect the land they grabbed from wananchi (a few months back, you got this mwenye-nchi vibe) I wonder how you will be a mwenye nchi if you can’t even call the tiny plot you plough your own while some rich boys owns half of Kenyan land.
This is their battle plan, beat Cord, tear apart the constitution, grab more land protect ourselves and families. Throw in a little sheng and digital to fool the youth and let’s rise to the top. If they believe that they are modern, digital and any other rubbish that they’ve made you to believe, why do they practice the same politics that have threatened to rip apart this country time and again. Are you that stupid fellow youth?
They make you believe that it is a battle between the youth and the old, actually get this through your head, this is a battle of ideas which they evidently lack, otherwise they would not be transforming every public rally to an attack against Raila and the Cord alliance plainly on age grounds.
If you elect these boys simply on age grounds, you will be defying the very constitution that is supposed to assist you in acquiring your rights.
As far as I’m concerned, nations are never liberated by selfish young boys who want nothing but self protection. Rather real liberation comes from mature men and women who put together ideas for the good of their nations.
Have a sensible day, digital, shengy and youthful if you like.
