I am tired

(All photos courtesy of Google)



I am tired, extremely tired. I am officially tired. I have lost hope, I do not see anything or light or good. It has reached a point, I wake up in the morning and try as much as I can to avoid anything on our media. I don’t know if you are tired. Do you like what we are watching in the media? Is it entertaining to you? Maybe I am getting old. Don’t get me wrong I am not saying the media personnel are doing wrong, no, they are doing exactly what is expected of them. But, I wish they could spare me the politics.

On the 20th of October 2015, more than 150 minors were found a club. Drinking, in possession of ‘weed’ and having condoms. Condoms for what? Some of them were younger than my small sister. My sister is 12. A child of 9 years is at a club, drinking, and smoking and has condoms in his or her pockets. Did that sink in? A child of 9 (NINE) was caught at a club, in the evening after having stayed there since morning, drinking, smoking and having condoms in his or her pocket. Are you tired yet?



UNEP with its headquarters located in our country has had the misfortune of one of their employees using his title to receive immunity for using his wife as a boxing doll. This man went to the lady’s parents and asked for their permission to marry her (I am speculating here) so that he can go beat her as much as he wants because he is a diplomat. Being a diplomat has got to be the best job in the world. You can do whatever you want, and nothing will ever happen to you. That is the life.
Even writing this blog is making me tired. I don’t even want to touch on the political situation.


PLEASE NOTE: Any remarks made by a politician who comes from my background does not expressly mean I support or agree with their ideology. I do not choose tribe and love everyone equally. I will not harm a soul because of elections. We already passed through enough in 2007-2008, no more.

I am tired extremely tired, are you? There are some stories I won’t bother writing, I am just too tired. I don’t want to repeat it, because I will spread my tiredness to you.


Maybe, just maybe if I sleep, tomorrow will be fine? Maybe things will be different? Maybe I will stop being tired? Maybe I am old?

It is my child

(all photos taken from google.co.ke) (www.clipartbest.com) Gerald is seated sipping his drink slowly. He is admiring the house, trying to remember the many graceful memories he has had the past two year. However, it is time to call it quits. He has to move on, somehow. Sally comes in and seats besides him and notices something is off. “What is wrong Gerald?” Gerald breathes in and out. He picks up three papers from the table and hands them to Sally. “We need to talk Sally.” He looks at her trying to be as gentle as possible. “I am sorry Sally. It is over between us. I need to go take care of my baby.” There is a brief pause. “Ati, what? What did you just say Gerald? Am hearing you right? You want to leave me? Why?” Gerald can see she is becoming hysterical. He was not sure how to break it to her, but he felt telling it to her face would have been easier, how wrong he was. “It’s Milly. She was pregnant when I left her and now she has my son; one year old...

It's nothing new

(Bully Fanon website) It is quite a shame that Alliance has to be in the news for the wrong reasons. Usually they are in it, shouting and praising the form fours who had left the previous year for the ‘ A ’ s they brought to the school. To some it is a new phenomenon that students are beating students, but to me it is not. I went to a so called ‘ bush ’ high school. It is however famous in the part of the county it hails from. Here, beating of students by fellow students was a common thing during my time. It was almost routine. To make it worse, once you were beaten by the prefects they took you to the teachers who also beat you. Of course they were not using sticks only to beat their fellow students, but anything they found. Those who were forwarded to the teachers were usually those who had resisted the beating. The teachers also found out that sticks were ineffective and felt the need to use their fists to correct the errors of the student. I am not writing th...

Men, we need to wake up

(all photos courtesy of Google). The world is evolving. Time is changing. Women are gaining power. Men are seated, watching, waiting for their turn. In the 90s and early 2000s all campaigns were directed at ‘empowering the women’ Do not get me wrong, women were mistreated and suffered under the tyranny of men and their egos. UNICEF created the International Day of the Girl to help end the circle of violence against adolescent girls. It is celebrated on the 11 th of October annually. Education was the major concern and center of debates, and the United Nations felt that it had serious impacts on human and economic aspects of society. Girls worldwide were forced to cook, clean and do other house hold chores while their male siblings went to school and received care and attention from parents. Girls were seen as a curse while boys were seen as a blessing. Men felt proud having a boy while mistreating the poor mother for having a girl. Something needed to ...
