Contentment and Happiness are bossom budies

Contentment is the beginning of true happiness and love

If only mankind could focus more on what they HAVE, that others do not have, rather than putting more emphasis on what others own that they DON'T have, life as we know it, would be different. There would be contentment. And contentment is the beginning of happiness and ultimately LOVE.

The folly is in our perception that our colleagues, friends, relatives and total strangers have better careers, better homes, prettier wives, good children and loving families. While on the surface, this could be true, but in such perception, we ultimately begin to think little of ourselves. And once we think little of ourselves, we become unable to be happy, to constantly yearn for more while ignoring that which may be working well for us. And if we cannot love ourselves, how then can we be able to love our spouses, our children, our families?

Uhuru and Raila are not anti-corruption champions

This is why I keep saying Kenya lacks someone clean and steadfast enough to slay the dragon of corruption. We do not have any such person in our political leaders. Not in the Jubilee Coalition. And definitely not in CORD! We all know Jubilee is a corruption cartel. That's a given. We don't expect them to yap against corruption when they are its chief architects and direct beneficiaries.

CORD, on the other hand, has been known to make a lot of ruckus about the existence of corruption in the Jubilee run government. However, when the monster of corruption rears its ugly head within its ranks, all of a sudden, the public noisemakers have lost not only their voice, but hands with which to pen pieces castigating the vice. As Kidero gets deeply embroiled in the thick of 200 million shillings bribery saga, the purported anti-corruption champion that is CORD has gone dumb. No public rallies to call for his resignation. No shouting from the rooftops to call for investigations. No promises to deliver this Country from the monster of corruption!

If CORD was to believed, and if their honesty to rid this country of corruption was earnest, the obvious thing would have been to have to immediately act against Kidero even as the Supreme Court moves to act against one of their own. Because Kidero is a member of their ranks and they are in a position to institute some sort of action against him.

If the noise made by CORD was enough to send Waiguru home over allegations of corruption, what then is to stop them from acting against one of their own who is not protected by the corrupt Jubilee Coalition? However, because the party badly needs Kidero's deep pockets, I'm certain no action will be instituted against the Governor of Nairobi.

In the fight against corruption, both Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga are not genuine. The twin corruption cartels that are Jubilee and Cord are not genuine. Contrary to what the duo would like us to believe. The hyenas in these parties, including the ordinary supporters of these parties, are not genuine. Kenya, as the Chief Justice appropriately said, is a bandit economy.
