JM KARIUKI parliamentary ideas (1969-75 Hansard) show a vision for egalitarianism - warned of Kenya of "10 millionaires and 10 million beggers". 1968 he sponsored HIRE PURCHASE ACT that to-date helps many access goods to uplift lives. Enabling proPoor policies, ending graft key.
2007/8 PEV was mutating to class warfare esp in hotbeds. Today, many leafy neighbourhoods are isolating and many kids from these rich estates don't know of "others". Often TV comedies feature these differences firming the contemptuous demarcations. We have a very serious problem.
Solution to redress marginalisation is to end corruption. When thieves are protected by those with influential power, then creation & spread of criminal enterprises and mass grievances will grow, thrive. But to expect culprits to end vice is to be naive. Looting sadly now 'legit'
Instead of escalating the “dynasties” vs “hustlers” suspicions, we need urgent NATIONAL CONFERENCE to resolve how to live with confessed thieves and to holistically tackle the evil, and RECOVER the loot. This can prevent spiral of robbery. Or we head to a cliff into precipice.
Oppressors and thieves are trembling. Yet we ALL should be very alarmed coz class warfare is a snowball - it’s rolling downhill increasing in speed and size. The paranoid rebuttals by crooked minority perceived as filthiest "shareholders" in LOOTING KENYA only worsening things.
Beneficiaries of state-sanctioned CORRUPTION in neo-colonial Kenya are so fidgety. They'll plot any evil to remain crudely dominant. Contrarily, rising poverty + resentment amongst marginalized masses is creating relentless insurgency. We MUST dialogue for bold, enduring remedy.
Haven’t we seen what control of politics by SPECIAL INTERESTS is in America? If ‘Uncle Sam’ is so shaken, how can vulnerable young fragile nation that’s ours stand if pillars on clay soil get shaken? Allover, the affluent are coiling. But robbed masses only have chains to lose!
A NATIONAL CONFERENCE can RESOLVE mechanisms to end corruption. We must change culture of creating billionaires by misusing public service privilege. If true enterprise is to prosper, we MUST find a BOLD WAY to redress past transgressions and redefine a different future EDICT.
Big donors to Kenya are Scandinavians (eg Denmark, Sweden). These small nations have true $billionare investors. They cushion ALL less privileged. Basics - Education Health, Transport Food guaranteed. Quality life highest. It is what KENYA needs. Can’t happen in BANDIT ECONOMY.
South Korea just jailed Samsung CEO for 15yrs due to corruption. Britain jailed IEBC chickegate culprits while Kenyan accomplices sanitized and are now being reset for 2022! ONLY a RADICAL approach :- offer a concessional amnesty but RESET RULES securing corruption-free future.
KENYA let's talk. It is the sure way out of the prevailing impasse and danger. As of Katiba, and as of multiparty democracy: NATIONAL CONVERSATION on STATE CAPTURE, IMPUNITY, CORRUPTION. For it is coz political power gives a HAVEN of LOOTING KENYA that barons spoil to reign.
I find "dynasty/hustlers" a dangerous path. It's ideologicallly blurred, is threat to security, stability and wellbeing of all citizens. Dynasties (MAFIA) sacrifice countries for their illgotten wealth. "Hustlers" easily mutate to militias of criminal enterprises. Lets REROUTE.
Beyond din and notoriety of hatchet-men’s intoxicating squabbles of Ruto/Wheelbarrow-versus-UhuRao&surrogates, we surely can afford a decent conversation bereft of insults and bigotry. If we sober-up to REASON, we may still have country to call home beyond 2022. Otherwise........
WE citizens who elect leaders, and WE who seek to represent the public good must realise that what is happening inside the schemes for beyond2022 rule will break our SOVEREIGN. If escalating anger of mass deprivations crash with a despair power wielders, Kenya will surely break.

Yet, MOST IMPORTANTLY CORRUPTION, IMPUNITY must FALL. KENYA OUR ONLY HOME mustn’t, won’t fall! This we must ensure. Herculean task though.

RESPONSE over REACTION. CONVERSATION over ALTERCATION. Admission of PROBLEM over Ejection of REALITY.

This a call for CANDID #REALITYCHECK. It is a lobby for INCLUSIVE engagement & dialogue minus fireworks of ‘Countdown2022’. #TWAWEZA for our COMMON GOOD. #RESCUEKENYA
