It really came as a shock to me at how Kenyans can relish the opportunity to see a fruitful day go to the drains in senseless drinking as one of their ’sons’, thousands of miles away, achieved his dream! Well, the win was quite a dream for most us who could not get any sleep! I see it as a shameful act to try and tell the world how lazy we can be in celebration.
Americans Voted and went to work the following day. They celebrated this historical milestone and no public holiday was ‘gifted’to them. Back in kenya the government declared a day off . The economy in kenya is in turmoil and people are getting public holidays when they should be at work! Anybody with me on this? In as much as people want to celebrate Obama’s achievement, Kenya will never be like the country he leads because of institutionalized laziness and poor leadership -what in the world was kibaki thinking -you cant buy obama’s support with cheap holidays -the man supports Odinga for crying out loud. At least Raila should have made the announcement.
Picture this, November 5th after his victory, Obama took his two girls to school and trust me, they will not miss even a day of school. While in Kenya the opposite is happening. Millions of Kids miss a day in school, factories closed and no business conducted.
How foolish are we !
Congratlations to President-Elect Barack Obama and VP-Elect Joe Biden from cribarworld. Good work in picking Rahm Emmanuel as Chief-of-Staff designate, he brings the kind of blend the new administration needs.
