Migingo

Railway lines have been uprooted, the local electrical company's staff have been attacked and have retaliated, but all it takes is for one "leader" to callously state that the 1 km squared patch of land may belong to Kenya but the surrounding waters are the preserve of Uganda. Meaning, the kenyans can’t fish in the waters! The man has successfully thrown a spanner into the works. In all honesty, with leaders of his ilk, how does the rest of humanity expect US the youth to follow his example.....these are not leaders,no word in the entire english lexicon can describe these people. There's a commission that's been set up to investigate the Migingo Island issue...but his highness also needs to remember that his is a landlocked country, Kenya may never have fought dirty in the past but there's a first time for everything. Hopefully the commision won't take years to investigate and will make it's findings public unlike others I can name. We may be Crazy Jaluo, crazy kikuyu, crazy whatever but above all we are Kenyans, let us, each one, remember that and what exactly does it mean to be Kenyan?
