You have always come across as a man with a background in the press sector. As such, you would likely celebrate this brave individual who chose to ask on behalf of many, voicing what is often said in hushed tones. The truth, no matter how uncomfortable, cannot remain hidden forever. Yes, Bush, at the behest of Baks and Mama Lucy, provided us with free ARVs, which Trump intended to withdraw and might fully rescind along with other benefits if he resumes office.
There's something about you older folks that reminds me of those who never stood up to abuse, reminiscent of house neegaz of the past. Why choose to remain in mental slavery instead of emancipating yourselves from it, as Bob Marley suggested?
I am also sure you have traveled widely and seen how countries that care for their people operate. It's ironic how we "benchmark" in such places, and I'm not talking about the ultra-rich countries. What irks me the most is how we are disenfranchised as a people, fighting over meager resources and crumbs from the powerful, not realizing we have the power to end this nonsense. It enrages me to see the wanton misappropriation of hard-earned taxes while some of you are so enamored with the powerful and white people that you can't see how shameful this entire charade is.
Or shall we once again blame breeding like rats?
Yours sincerely,
A chicken-brained, poverty-mentality ridden Kenyan.
I honestly find this diatribe incredibly unbelievable coming from you.
Not only does it contain unnecessary ad hominems, but it also accuses me of misrepresentations I did not make.
So let's be clear. Ruto is not an angel. If you read my comments over the last 24 hours you would note that I am not a bootlicker.
Two, as I have said, journalists are paid to ask hard questions. The fact that a question is asked does not point one way or another on the veracity of its basic assumption.
As for Pepfar, the ARV programme introduced by GWB, it was for the entire sub-Saharan Africa, not a deal struck with Baks. Get your facts right.
Then there's this outlandish and rather juvenile accusation that you entitled brats keep making - that we older folks have messed the country. That all we know is to lick butt.
Is that so? Show me your Shikukus and Kimathis and Matibas and Orengos and Gamas and Tom Mboyas and Jomos and Ogingas and JMs and Oukos and Matibas and Kibakis and Mulinges and Kipchoges.....the other day you made a national hero, Kipchoge, weep on international TV with your pettiness and small-mindedness, what pathetic little people you are!
Fact is, you are just entitled shits who just vote in thugs like Dimples, Sudi, Ruto, Waititu, Babu, Sonko et al - because you are the majority - and then turn around and say we messed up the country. You whine every moment, giving hair-brained criticism as you sink deeper into a miasma of porn, suicide, homicide, needless accidents, unsafe sex, drugs, etc, all the time blaming serikali and your fathers for your woes. Because of your myopia and endless navel-gazing you would rather use your smartphones, technology which we didn't even dream of, placing bets on Odibets instead of raising capital to start a small business.
I won't even bother with the cad about taxes. Suffice to say that in some jurisdictions that give us aid, they collect above 30pc of GDP in taxes. Here we are doing less than 14pc because entitled brats have not even registered for KRA PIN, and less than 3m people out of a population of 55m pay direct taxes. The rest just scream serikali saidia in-between breeding like rats.
Is Ruto corrupt? Yes. Is our govt inept? Yes.
Ask the same questions of any state. As you say, I have travelled widely, and the answers will be the same EVERYWHERE!
