Nurses strike



One of the dailies yesterday reported death of a mother and child due to excessive bleeding as she could not be attended by the striking health workers. But this was not Minister Nyong'os wife and child or of any other of the ruling class or business elites. In this a case a person has not eaten a dog this is no news. State insensitiveness to various striking workers' groups is at its peak, this goverment is broke when is workers are on strike but still bloated with non-perfoming minister and assistant minister(42 minister and over 100 assistant ministers) all earning over a million kenya shilllings). You can easily tell the place of kenyan worker in the 'busy' schedule of kenyan politician, who neither nor his family requires the services of a peasant health worker. In real sense the services of a peasant health worker are only required by another peasant a farmer, a mechanic, a boda boda operator, house wife,a helpeless child and of the nurses household members. The media an ally of the ruling class has not made it easy for the striking peasants making them look bad from the ailing peasants eye while the real culprit seats pretty in their luxurios offices.The very result the ruling class want to see , the peasants despising each other instead standing united. Have unity filled day people.

Gakunia

Gakunia a gikuyu word for a small sack was name given to the colonial Special branch agents who were dressed in sack hoods with eye holes. And every one picked from the reserves as a suspected mau mau freedom movement member was filed slowly past the ghostly figures who would suddenly say 'Take him' and you knew you were headed for a detention camp. The gakunias were simply professional betrayers. Selling their patriotism for a meal.Today the Gakunias dont need to be hooded they are in so called the august house,they are in ministries as corrupt ministers and PSs, they are greedy investors who underpay their workers, they are all over each day morgaging kenya..But we keep the hope that one day of days we will slay the dragon that sack our blood and swim in the comfort our sweat. As malcolm X said by 'any means necessary'. follow the link for more reads on kenyan history of independence and the maumau movement
