Uhuru Kenyatta, not School Boys, should meet State Wrath
Well, Kenya has a
really interesting character as its President. Very interesting indeed. Especially,
if and when high. So these days the President of the Republic of Kenya (PORK)
has turned the security apparatus to haunting down and “teaching a lesson” to
some teenagers who have become some sort of a "national security
threat". Those boys may have been captured on camera insulting government
Ministers. One of the big insults, I hear, is that they called the Cabinet
Secretary for education, the honorable Amina Mohamed, “malaya” (prostitute). This was
so bad an abuse tantamount to a national security threat that the President had
to personally intervene to ensure and assure the security and safety of Kenyans
and their property.
In
fact, we do have more pressing matters of national interest including very
serious security threats such as the kidnapping of an aid worker by Al Shabaab
that the President should be more concerned with and briefing the nation about
as opposed to being too bothered by and preoccupied with some misbehaving
adolescent boys who actually can be sufficiently disciplined by a village elder
in the unlikely event that their teachers and parents fail do so. Pettiness is
one of the reasons I have a problem with Uhuru Kenyatta.
By
the way, if government of Kenya finds it necessary to descend, including with
the full force of the presidency, on some unruly village teenagers who insult
the Ministers what about unruly informed adults who insult the Chief Justice?
Between adolescents who call the Minister a prostitute and Uhuru Kenyatta who
calls Supreme Court judges “wakora” who is the actual criminal? Shouldn’t Uhuru
be the guy to be “taught discipline”? It appears to me that a President who is
capable of telling this to a citizen; a bereaved parent, whose child is a
victim of security lapses that he (president) is principally sworn in to guarantee
is not only an undisciplined, spoiled chap but actually a cruel person who is unfit
to hold such a high office and one that, for that matter belongs where discipline
is instilled on mortals like him.
And
then, it appears that it is only in Kenya where teenagers are taught discipline
by a President who tells the parents of a girl who has been raped that “your security
starts with you” or who tells a nation whose funds have been plundered “mnataka
nifanye nin jamani” (folks, what do you want me to do)?! And so, who between
Uhuru and those boys actually need nationally-focused discipline? Uhuru is the
answer.
