Recently the people of Kiambu county in total mockery of their intellect fronted an idiot for the post of governor of that great county.
Without coercion nor much prod the most esteemed citizens of Kiambu elected Waititu something as their best son,a man poised to deliver them from chocking poverty serenaded by jiggers and the spirit of mundu wa nyumba.
And now in the most bizarre twist of events, the governor fire breathing son of the soil with penchant for kicking walls down and appetite for maandamano,is accused by same voters of neglect, myopia and being brain dead-dead as wood.
But whilst fronting the man christened baba yao,(loosely translated as their father)the esteemed people of Kiambu said he is the best suited for the job brain dead or no brain dead.He was the njamba,a man of modest education but with a vision of the owl. And in the heat of the moment-degree kitu gani.
While others may be of ungracious opinion that the people of Kiambu should sit still and let the monster they created devour them in peace, me thinks that the devil you know can devour you completely-at least they eat your brain and leave the rest of you with a mouth to cry before the press, and call the world to see how bad a man our son of the soil has become-and how he has not furnished our hospitals with panadol to take care of our headaches.Headache? Haaa!
So when Kiamburians complain of shortage of medicine in their hospitals and inadequate bed capacity to the extent of citizens sharing ward beds, the good governor, baba yao, son of a pauper and now governor, implores the citizens to be gracious about it and thank God that their hospital is so good that it attracts so many people to the extent that bed capacity is questioned. He even offers that the people complaining are Masaais complete with shukas from the neighboring Kajiado county, who having not been blessed by leaders like him have come for medical tourism in the county.
But we need not to draw too much lesson from this, Kiambu has been the backyard of two president,people with good education but they still ate their own people. So when the son of a peasant without education nor good moral sense eats us, does it matter much?
