THE EXPLOITS OF THE NINTH PARLIAMENT AND KENYAN RUNNERS
There are over 3 million Kenyans starving but our distinguished (not!) Members of Parliament are frustrating a Government motion seeking 20.7 billion for, among other things, the purchase of relief food. They want the exchequer to dole out over 3 million dollars for increased and then backdated mileage allowances.
Harrumph.
You’ve got to hand it to Members of the Ninth Parliament: at least they’re consistent. After all, they got into office on a pledge to improve the lives of Kenyans. Since they’re Kenyans themselves, and they’re once again raising their own allowances they may actually be deluding themselves into thinking that they’re keeping their pledge.
Double Harrumph.
Hardworking, taxpaying Kenyans are privileged to be improving the lives of all of 222 Kenyans.
Hurray.
I declare, it’s time for Lucy Kibaki to climb out of the woodwork and demand to know who their mother is.
But hey, there’s also the good news. We’re winning marathons all over the place.
I can’t believe I just used ‘we’ and ‘marathon’ in the same sentence.
Me.
Who hyperventilates at the thought of anything faster than a brisk walk.
Oh well. Don’t tell anyone.
All anybody needs to know is that I’m Kenyan.
Hurray to us.

Hurray to us!
I will vote for the first presidential candidate who says MPs should take a pay cut and pay taxes.
Yes, incredible! While other Kenyans are starving and most simply managing to survive - these guys are thinking of allowances and making more money! After already looting billions and some only resigning; will any be prosecuted and jailed? Most unlikely!
When Kenya wins marathons and medals; I too, always celebrate and rejoice. Even after leaving Kenya years back, when it comes to Kenya - I am a part of the 'we'. I too, will always be a Kenyan.
Keguro:
You are less cynical than I. Or should that be, I am more cynical than you.
Every time a Kenyan politician's lips move, I find that I space out.
It would be all the same to me if a presidential candidate said MPs should have their pay doubled.
I have no reason to believe any of them is serious about any pledge they make.
