Kwame Nkrumah's infamous quip of ‘Seek ye the political kingdom first’ must be drilled into President Uhuru Kenyatta's head.
As many have observed, he could be the most lame-duck president Kenya has ever had.
What happened at Kiambaa and earlier at Juja is just unacceptable. Kenyatta has failed in managing both the economic and political spheres. Under his watch, the country has sunk into an economic abyss and we are heading towards political oblivion.
It is clear that the people of the mountain have lost trust in the scion of Kenya's founding father. They loathe him. His people have found a safe haven in the hustler movement.
For starters, it is worth noting that the so-called bottom-up economic approach is just a decoy to lure gullible Kenyan masses into voting a fox to occupy the house on the hill.
What better bottom-up economic policy can we get than devolution? With proper public participation, what else would Kenyans wish for? The much-publicised bottom-up economic approach is a mere ploy to confuse and convince masses into electing bad people back to government.
Jobs will never be created through giving handouts to boda bodas and mama mbogas. Let us create policies that would attract an avalanche of Foreign Direct Investments.
Let us encourage government policies that will make it easy for Kenyans to establish businesses that can employ our people. Let us eliminate the plethora of bottlenecks and unnecessary bureaucracies entrenched in our government agencies.
To move our economy to the next level we must have zero tolerance for corruption. The public must get value for its money. Let people exhibit real patriotism and dedication towards making Kenya great.
Leadership should be all about service delivery. It should not be about the highest bidder, as we celebrate thieves who steal from us.
We are so gullible that we always cheer our oppressors and jeer our emancipators. It is high time we demanded our pound of flesh. We must keep our leaders on their toes.
