Brothers and sisters,
Migingo is a Kenyan issue,just like the gang problems in central Kenya and previously in Mt. Elgon.
The leaders know these are Kenyan problems. But they also know how to do their thing for political reasons.
Now having said that,we at SK are actually dancing to their tunes in a fashion not distant from how marionnetes swing (brainlessly) yet in sync with the machinations of the 'marionater'. Nisamehe kizingu ni kigumu.
Lakini kwa nini iwe hivyo.
If cyber smart people like us turn into cyber goons,what should we expect from that multitude that you will always see snaking into the industrial area every morning...point here is a good proportion of them are not as educated as the better proportion of Skerians.
Let's get tribe out of Migingo. M7 would laugh heartily and probably have an orgasm if he read how tribally whipped we have gotten over this thing called Migingo.
@ Jaina,why say things like luos like free things? Doesn't it occur to you that this could be your marginalised prejudice which may have come from your interaction with one,two or maybe 100 persons who coincidentally happened to be luos?
Doesn't it occur to you that someone else could be harboring a similar or even more marginalised opinion about your tribe or another Kenyan tribe?
If you took your time to understand issues,you will realise that fishing in Lake Victoria is the same as in Uganda,Tanzania,River Sagana,Lake Naivasha or Turkana or if you have travelled Japan,unless the issue of fish farming is in the mix.
Secondly,if you understood the economy of the region around this Migingo,you will realise that agriculture takes place; maize,sorghum,groundnuts,e.t.c but the production can not be compared to Kericho,Trans-Nzoia or Kiambu,mainly because of climatic circumstances but also due to 'political socio-economy'. Now for supplement,the lake exists. Allow me to let you in on figures of Kshs. 2.4 billion which was the value of landed 'lates niloticus' in only one of Kenya's districts bordering Migingo last year. Do you also know that this catch supports fish processing industries in places as far as Thika? And mind you,very little of the money (I don't have the actual figures now) actually remains in the Lake region. (think of the chain from the wooden boat at Luanda Nyamasare or Muhuru to the dinner table in Tel Aviv,Moscow or buffet line up at the Safari Park Hotel.
So just this far,you may or may not appreciate that it isn't a luo problem.
This thing is madness right,But it is not luos who are mad. Rather the madness is about the resources and if we were to assign madness,M7 would score highly,though he would be second to our leaders who are not only joking with the Migingo issue,but are actually the joke itself.
Where would we ( Kenyans represented on SK) rank in the continuum of madness?
Everyday!
