Our African culture allows us to keep quiet, and not speak ill of the dead. we try most of the time to console the bereaved,not to shout to the world how the dead was bad.
That cd explain why the former prezzo moi did not speak a word on the late prof wangari maathai.
After all saitoti was not the only one connected to Goldenberge, why choose to talk about the scandle now. RIP Georgie, Joshua et al

Between honesty and whitewash, I choose honesty.

What is wrong with us kenyans?

I am not 'mourning' like I would a dear member but I am mourning the fact that I knew him as a leader and he had work to do for me as a citizen of this country. Unfinished biz he's left behind.

Thieves die and so do saints everyday but how do u expect us to mourn them when we only come to know them when they lie dead?
If you live a public life,whether clean or not, the very fact that I follow your progress every single day is enough reason to make me 'feel' the loss.
I feel the loss because you have been given the responsibility to look after me as a citizen.
Look at it this way,the pain the family is going through is equal to the pain felt by the poor family after the loss of their loved unknown fellow.
But diff. is,one carried a nation's responsibility while the other did not!
Gauge urself between the two ,whom d u expect the public to mour for more? To whom much is given much is required.
When the chinese president died people were 'forced' to mourn.And all manner of tears were shed. He may not have been the best but he carried a country's responsibility and it was just a proper thing to do.

I dont think am that that stone hearted.
I felt sad when they killed gaddafi cz I know no human being is a saint.

@essyk; have a mug of tea to fight this biting cold. You have written wise words...

Thank you.
Let every clean kenyan raise up their hands.

Can't we just appreciate people for the positive and little they did?
Is there anything like a clean leader?
If HEAVEN itself suffered a revolution when lucifer tried to overthrow the goverment! how much more the earth?

An no am not condoning evil.Just being human.

Good day to y'a ll
