Well it’s simple. I am matured, a bit too late. I have realized that there is so much wrong amid our lives and its time to act. The truth is it’s too darn late. I wish I had the strength and the resources to have addressed poverty sooner! But what keeps me on track is the saying – it’s never too late?

I believe we have serious problems in Kenya and we desperately need to start chatting – honesty being the key word. We need to chat to the point where it (our honesty) comes out. We are a self destructive nation that believes going to church every Sunday or to the mosque or temple makes it all right? And when that is done we are back to being who we are until the next hour with the Almighty which I call living the big lie…amid all the wrongs. We also have convinced ourselves that we are great and everything is great too and all the problems are the colonials, our politicians, the donors, or just someone else’s problem to fix? It’s called passing the buck!

So why this blog? Poverty is our problem to fix! And if we don’t address it with the urgency it deserves then I liken the post election violence to just a tip of the iceberg or rather a trailer to a horror movie that has yet to begin! At this point I want you to take a deep breath and read the words of a great man:

“The mother of revolution and crime is poverty” by Aristotle the Ancient Greek Philosopher.

A point to ponder; look around you…Is poverty on the decrease? Is Vision 2030 working? Are we truly on course with the world leaders pledge under goal No. 1 of the Millennium Development Goals that is – To eradicate extreme poverty and hunger by the year 2015?

Maybe these questions can make us examine our individual roles as Kenyans in addressing these issues by brain storming and coming up with solutions. This is at least a start to our proactive stance!

Welcome to my blog. You might know me from Facebook but I have decided to start my own website and alongside it this blog where I can interact with my friends, discuss and brain storm about many issues, personal and political.

This will be the place where I’ll put my thoughts, projects and hopefully speak about me candidly. I am very passionate about many issues where injustices, discrimination and other unfair practices are meted on us. I also have very strong views of where the political direction of this country is heading.  Politics need to be merged with good responsible and accountable practices from our top and low politician to the simple citizen of this country. We cannot expect much to change if we as Kenyans don’t change by saying NO to corruption,  theft, lies, and by reaching out to make a difference in our communities.

Hope you enjoy it as much I enjoy sharing this with you!
