What are my interests? kuzuia watu wanao toka kwa maBank na magunia za pesa and coming into the market with that cash and making my life difficult! NO!!!
A luo person's interest may be 'to have a luo president' - na ni sawa! Mkale anaweza taka kurusha kura ndio watu wa'revenge' 2020 - ni sawa... interests ni za mtu binafsi and kura ni siri! mimi nimechoka na wizi and flooding the marketplace with those proceeds making a person trying to build a future for his kids to struggle harder... my interests are not Team_Wild_Dog... yangu ni binafsi! sijui uTeam_Wild_dog imefika wapi! No @masukuma. Issues of the 50's are significant, at least for many of us who have yet to figure out 'niwapi walitia blunder otonglo time'. And not just otonglo time, but in the most critical issue of humanity, which I suspect you may take too lightly, because as per your confession you are about your personal interest and food which is more about the animal nature than the human one of the ancients. But maybe freedom isn't for all. The curious thing about this alienation from political autonomy and into absolute selfishness is self destructing. Then one day the human masukuarader discovers that he's in fact a mannequin. Issues of the 50's are significant because that's where Kenya went wrong. Instead of giving the squatters employment opportunities we gave them tiny pieces of land which have been sub-divided over the years into plots among sons and as result you have rural idlers that you call farmers. Most survive at the comfort-level subsistence farming which means their economic productivity can't be boosted. China and other Asian countries got their peasants through factories boosting their productivity. The problem is a selfish leadership which has no single innovative ideas from the 1960's. For you @masukuma as an educated elite to just think of your own interest that's truly sad. I posted the kenyan demographics in another wazua thread which shows the median age of kenya is around 19 years. Think about them as they will spend their productive years in alcohol and peasant misery the 50's won't change!!! they were sad... they were all that but they won't change! nothing you do with your vote now will change them... accept it and don't over rate your vote's power! it cannot undo time! Secondly, 'educated elite'? kwani sina 'interests'? VOTE FOR YOUR INTERESTS! THAT'S WHY IT'S A SECRET VOTE! If voting for your interest was bad we would rule by consensus and committee. Again, your interests do not need to be 'yours personally' but they have to be something you care about at a basal level... that is how you build society. you need to own this thing! sio kutuambia team wild dog hapa. The point isn't and can't be changing the 50's. The 50's can help inform what our interests are or should be. Right now you may think you know and understand your interests but that appears to be false. A blinded person still has interests but they may change when he gets sight. They obviously change...
