The Kenya We Know Not........

By -
Being a Kenyan citizen is one thing and feeling like a Kenyan citizen is a different thing altogether.
Kenya has over the years been described in different ways by different people some saying its a paradise on its own, a hustlers zone, land of the best evil, and the list is endless. What never ceases to surprise me is the fact that with every new day in Kenya is two hot headlines which are always contradicting, of which one of the headlines is blamed on the poor leadership we have around.... 1.harambee for Hague transport while the IDPS are dieing in Mai Mahiu 
2.looking for better ways to ensure the drug barons stay free while the addicts are dieing in rehabs 
3.MPs demanding salary increments and refusing to pay tax while the northern Kenya residents are malnourished...... Well that's just a selection of what happens around, you and me know there are worse cases but i still don't understand how we afford very broad smiles on our faces, either we are the most heartless people on earth or we just in a world of our own... 
Even then there is a question ave been trying to get answered all this while, those ares where Kenyans are dieing, are there members of parliament? Does the government allocate constitutional development funds for those areas? And if there are funds what do they cater for, coz there are no hospitals, schools, police stations...no nothing......
Someone please help me understand.......

    I guess the saying of old so aptly applies:- "Hear no evil, see no evil!"

    Google® says:- "Don't be evil!"

    And I dare add:- "Say no evil, write no evil!"

Sweet Pain, Dead Peace

My Cousin Job Passed on. Let me rephrase that; My Cousin Job took his life.. - wait, he couldn't have taken his life, he always had it. Let me rephrase that too; MY COUSIN COMMITTED SUICIDE. By Hanging. The Pain... It is exactly 12 days today 12 June 2018 since my cousin hanged himself. It is exactly 12 days since he did what I couldn't do - Get through with it. See I have attempted suicide before, not once, not twice and it's not a pretty thing to live with. Even rape is prettier. Rewind. I write this because of pain. And am from a sitting with some two friends of mine and I told them that my cousin committed suicide and they said "you know someone who has attempted suicide before gets through with it at some point" - I swallowed hard, felt a sharp pain in my chest... Who is this cousin I speak of? Job was the last born of my maternal aunt, and at age 22 it got to him. I am in pain, pain from different sides. I am in pain of loss, for having l

Feels Like a Hot Ice cube

This is my first blog after the suicide note.... I have been thinking about it for a long time, it scares, am no longer whom I used to be. I was a closed book on the shelf, now I am an open book on the street, and many have read me. Being all over the media with ny story is chilling, and it not a good feeling. Most think that it is the road to healing, but no, it is not. The road to healing is quiet and private, inside my psychologist's room and inside my head. This other public road is a sacrifice, a sacrifice I have made for the young girls and boys growing up who should never experience rape. A sacrifice for my cousin who hanged himself before having had the chance to share the pain he felt, and so I sacrifice so that no one has to die the suicidal way. A sacrifice for those who are close to people with suicidal ideations, so that they do not throw them out to the dogs for misinformation. A sacrifice for the Mental Health community, that has been shut off due the invisibi

THE PAINFUL PLEASURE- Confessions of a Mother

It was Friday April 20 2012 I checked myself into hospital, my baby 9 days late already. I was alright, no pains, waters not broken and I felt perfectly normal. Was admitted to the labour ward and they started the routine obstetric check-ups and examined that my breasts were okay. Saturday morning at 10 am the doctors said they would have to  induce me to deliver if I wouldn't have started the contractions by 11. So at 11 they explained that the would break a small tablet into 4 parts, each part to be inserted into the vagina after every 6 hours. The tablet works by softening the cervix causing dilation n with it starts uterine contractions. After the first quarter was inserted I started labour at around 1300hrs and  at 1635hrs 2.7kg baby Precious, the cutest light skinned baby with beautifuly contrasting dark hair was born after pushing thrice. The doctors did their thing and took me to my bed, funny thing after the placenta is out the pain disappears like it was never there and
