THE PAIN OF BEING KIKUYU (GEMA): It is fashionable for some people; politicians, bloggers, idlers and comedians to hate; bash, ridicule and make snide remarks against Central Kenya (read Kikuyu/GEMA) Community. Such fellows live in the illusion that if this community was somehow decimated or forced to emigrate from Kenya the country would become very democratic, peaceful, harmonious, just & prosperous. I have no problem when such a belief is held by riff-raff & renegades who derive ecstasy from the attention they attract in social media for such absurdity. But when the same creed is espoused and propagated by professionals; Lecturers, Teachers, Doctors, Lawyers and Journalists et al, I get very worried, for very good reasons. You see, I am a victim of ethnic discrimination. At one point after the promulgation of the 2010 Constitution I was denied a public appointment merely on the basis of my ethnicity. The chorus against me was led by some very highly educated people who had no regard to my own personal circumstances or peasant origins. After that experience I made a personal decision; to never initiate, participate or promote ethnocentric discourse. I would not want another Kenyan to suffer the prejudice and public humiliation I was subjected to just because I am Kikuyu.

Apparently, the ODPP & NCIC do not seem to have a problem with people who express hate; bash, insult or make snide remarks against the Kikuyu/GEMA Community. But woe unto you; if you are from Central Kenya and you say something similar about other communities, the NCIC, ODPP, Social & Mainstream Media will make mince meat of you. You will be pilloried; tried, convicted and crucified at lightning speed.

My message to you my friends is; do not fall into the trap of ethnic bigots. Do not be like them! Refuse to create, engage in, promote or disseminate materials, including social media updates which promote ethnic bias. Unfollow, block and ignore people who do such things. Make them feel small and irrelevant! To professionals who engage in negative ethnicity; I refer you to the book: “Rwanda: Death, Despair & Defiance. To partial Media Houses & Journalists who propagate and broadcast ethnic hate, please the read about Hassan Ngeze & Ferdinand Nhimana of Kangura Newspaper & Radio Mille Collines respectively. To my professional colleagues who work for NCIC & ODPP; your prejudice against certain groups and communities is too obvious and your “work” is a disservice to Kenya.

Why Central MPs are unhappy

The use of "These People" is deliberate as it is a derogatory wazua Lingo referring to Agikuyu.

That is why they are high every day from alchohol created by "those" people.

You know I think education is overrated.

Don't you know its fashionable to talk badly of a Kikuyu? If you ain't talking trash about the Kikuyus, you are soooo outdated.

People...you need to learn to take it in stride! try and grow a thick skin and enjoy the ride.

I sincerely we (meaning gikuyu) will not get into this totoish victim mentality.
You are doing something right if you have haters

Very true. Sticks and stones are only thrown at fruit bearing trees. If you ever find someone stoning a cactus, then that is a nigga out of it's mind.

Central province.

Thank you for your sobriety. A pal of mine recently remarked that Alcoholic drinks were introduced in Central by Moi to finish kiuks politically.

Moving on swiftly....
