Kibaki Tosha !!

These days, it seems the sexy thing is to be anti-Kibaki. Before I get accused of being a Kibaki sympathiser, let me confess - I AM. I am amazed how people rely on unverified information, zero data, and conjecture to denigrate a hardworking, compassionate government. There are people who are impressed with what the government is doing, and their voices cannot be muzzled. Firm evidence, not rumours corroborates our stand. Kibaki Tosha. We are tired of the endless cacophonous cackles from biased and agenda driven zealots. Kibaki Tosha.

You see, when confronted with data they contend it's too dense. So pictures are drawn. Nice bar graphs and trendlines. Still they are bamboozled. It seems only a data intravenous intervention will convince them.

Which quickly brings me to my point:


These people are NOT patriots. They are enemies of progress.

It is trivial to show how:

In light of the positive economic trends, Kibaki deserves kudos, and even another term to continue the good work to make lives better and better for Kenyans. If anyone has beef with the economic data, that is okay, but a heavy statistical burden of proof weighs on you:

a] What is your beef?
b] Do you understand what the data says or are you against it because you have no clue?
c]Do you have an alternative set of data that is opposite of the government position?
d]Why are you keeping it to yourself dadi/mami?
e]Huna stats? so why the malice? The only conclusion is that you'd rather see or are willing the economy to flop so you can validate your accusations, huh??????


What about corruption? What about insecurity? What about tribalism? Which is where Gathara comes in with an answer. In his post, Kimunya's Propaganda Train, he correctly observes that :

"The economic decay Kenya experienced over the last 40 years was largely due to kleptocratic and incompetent governance."

They say you cannot walk before you crawl. I say you cannot crawl if you have no legs. Kenyatta and Moi combined to amputate the Kenyan baby, each a leg. How do you suppose you can fix a problem created over 40 years in 4 years? Please ... let's be fair ...

What Kibaki has been doing is surgically reattaching the legs to the Kenyan baby. Second term, he will teach the baby how to walk and the good Lord willing, vision 2030 will see us learn how to walk, then we can start jogging. People should stop treating this race as a sprint because it is a VERY LONG MARATHON ...


Just in case this I am leaving anyone confused as to my points, they are short and sweet:

i] I am proud of my country
ii] I am proud of my president - 2nd term inevitable ...
iii] If that drives anyone insane, I make no apologies, I mean, fcuk you

Music and Sex : Is there a link ?

Once upon a time, when I used to go to Sunday School, I remember us being told about the wonders of creation. I remember being told that even birds of the air give praise to God through "song." I remember believing that story ...

Now am not too sure. I think its booty call. There is something about music and getting the groove on. Even the ugliest, and horrible noise-making animals always step up "music wise" while trying to get laid. Granted, they may not have developed complex notes but their noises come as close to music as they'll ever get when it's that time ...

Maybe it's the same thing with human beings. Maybe music is nature's way of telling us we are going to reproduce whether we like it or not. Darwin's thoughts on this subject are very interesting indeed:

“... it appears probable that the progenitors of man, either the males or females or both sexes, before acquiring the power of expressing their mutual love in articulate language, endeavoured to charm each other with musical notes and rhythm.” (Darwin, 1871, pp. 880)

Do you guys agree?
