Robert,
Let us not be too critical of ourselves. We have indeed done good even
with the procurement of land. Land is an emortive issue in Kenya and any
time the words Land and Politician appear togther, there bound to be
controversy. The Land we are buying was owned by 2,500 farmers. to get
the minds of all these people together is not easy. We now have the Title
and the project has started. How come we focus mostly on the negative?
Inspite of all our negativity, I love my country Kenya and its opennness
and the growth of democratic space. That a poor farmer can complain in
the media and the Government responds. This is not true in some of the
countries you praise. Whereas we have gone past "this is the order from
above", some of our brothers in Africa have not and this has its cost in
the midist of calm and perceived order.
I am shocked when some contributors argue that we should be spending such
resources on feeding Kenyans. This is like teaching someone on how to eat
the fish rather than how to catch it. The Government needs to spend more
on infrastructure to facilitate enterprise. We allso must work to earn
our living. We must plan well. For example we should not have more
children than we can care for. Giving birth to eleven children and hoping
that God or our Government will help is height of stupidity. If Jesus
were to meet a Kenyan today, the Kenya will ask "please help me see the
Kingdom of Heaven" yet Zachriah several years back asked Jesus "how can I
see the Kingdom of Heaven". Zacharia new he had some responsibility to
this effort even thaough he had access to Jesus. This where our problems
lie -- taking responsibility for our actions.
Merry Chrismas.
