I wonder if he had a book on the Maasai in his library. I really hope he did...
Ole Ntimama may be one of Kenya's heroes.

Ole Ntimama may be one of Kenya's heroes. Quote:Ntimama (a government minister until the recent cabinet reshuffle) has written
in the journal Cultural Survival Quarterly: βFor about ten years (1890-1900) we resisted the British colonialists ... By 1901-2 we were a defeated people. We were killed by the thousands...β

I drill my own caves (Najitegemea). I will never inherit or ask for assistance to acquire one. Many people call me Maasai......may be because I am un-adulterated by the modern vanity and vices.

Yet a man aged 86 yrs led his tribe to statehouse on 9 August 2016 then died peacefully in his sleep barely 20 days later.
How does a man with one foot in the grave lead his grandchildren, great grandchildren and get to determine their future?
Other examples abound. A certain Governor has been in hospital 3 yrs out of the 4 of his term so far. He leads his county from his hospital bed as his MCAs scram and fight to take advantage of the leadership vacuum. Why can't he just step down?
Let us not go to Zimbabwe where a similarly youthful population is led by a barely conscious 92 year old. An old man who is not in control of his bodily functions leading his great great grandchildren.

This is hard-talk, but the truth nonetheless!
