    Madaraka Day: As we celebrate...

    By Jerry Nguwa

    As we all unite to celebrate Madaraka day throughout the country. We seem to have forgotten and bury our differences and feud. This is a way of life that every single Kenyan would wish to witness for the rest of his stay on earth.

    So many things have happened to this country since it attained self rule from the United Kingdom on that fateful June 1 st 1963. Politicians have come and gone. Political parties like their founders, lived and died but Kenya has remained Kenya .

    What more do I have to say? You have the all message right on your television, FM radio speakers, computer monitors etc.

    Kenyans should come together, forget what has happened to us since December 2007 and face the future with confidence.

    It's practically impossible to pick a single Member of Parliament out of the August House who postulated for the sake of the society. But that should not deter us from putting things rights for our beloved country.

    Whoever stands today and sits in the cabinet for his own sake would change his mind if he knew that his constituents will put him to task and make him accountable. Voters should not complain.

    It always makes me sad to hear a Kenyan voters complaining about the political situation in this country. They act as if aliens came to impose them a political class that will never change because power rolls from to son, uncle to nephew etc.

    Fellow Kenyans, you are kings makers. You make leaders and only you can dethrone them. Use the strength of your single and lone vote.

    ODM, PNU will pass but Jamuhuri ya Kenya itabaki, so make a change.

    Happy Madaraka Day.
