AWAY WITH IMPUNITY IN OUR HIGHWAYS

This ugly monster of corruption and impunity will not just go away, simply because the common citizen has made a decision to banish it as much as possible verbally and tame it as much,action-wise,talk about the proverbial old woman who decided to hide leopard fleeing from hunters in her cloak, and later the leopard ate her. The highway police, despite constant exposures by the media,wont just stop taking bribes from corrupt conductors and drivers, at the expense of the life’s of innocent commuters, but the moment the vehicle leaves and nobody raises any question concerning the illegal transaction that has just happened to sell their lives everybody, including the commuters becomes as guilty, of corruption

Is it too hard for KACC to plant their officers in matatus and arrest the culprits of this annoying habit on the spot? Or for the passengers to pounce on the police and the conductor and frog-march to a police station, remember that case in which search an incidence occurred in 2005?is it too hard for Kenyans to say to the police they are not ready to part with bribes they are ready to face the judge? Is it too hard a task for the Kenyan police officers to say they don’t want any bribe, that is equivalent to buying the lives of fellow Kenyans at a mere fifty shillings!

Kenyans should start the fight on corruption from grass root level and that starts with individuals, they should raise alarm at the slightest suggestion that they part with a bribe. Integrity in the police force must be restored and impunity nabbed at the bud from our Kenyan roads and the careless loss of lives will end.

THE PRETENCES AND INJUSTICES WE LAY ON STREET CHILDREN..

As Kenyans go raving and ranting on the much publicized drought, I beg to direct their sense of philanthropic nature closer to their homes. There has been a crop of Kenyans that have been neglected for so long, we intentionally carpet the cracks on the wall for the sake of international relations and public relations when we ignore the street children starving due to lack of not only food but also the gross famine of lack of love which mother Teresa at one time said was the worst kind of famine affecting the world citizens.

It beats logic to donate a lot of money to the cause,(which is okay)and go bragging to your drinking pals by showing the transaction you sent, while on your way out of the pub, you spit or curse the street child who weakly begs you for a cup of tea or a meal which would cost less than a quarter of the drinks one has been handling and buying to faceless strangers just because your cars are sharing a slot in the parking lot, many don’t have any idea that the child could have been a result of that one stand during your crazy campus parties!!

In short my fellow Kenyans, street life is dirty, violent and short. The street children’s rights are constantly violated by the same adults who are supposed to be their custodians, they are subject to sexual exploitation in return for food or clothes, they are beaten by police and detained without concrete reasons, just as we have held hands up together for those affected by the drought, how about we pull a list on the next initiatives starting with a quick one titled, ‘KENYANS FOR KENYAN STREET CHILDREN!!”
