To continue with the article I was writing above on US-Kenya politics, the point I was trying to drive home is that there is really no "goodwill" so to speak of coming from our crop of leaders. Now whether it is a generational -gap problem or whether the issue has to do with the inherent so-called evil-nature character of the uncouth, unbridled, uncivilized man is up to any logic-reasonable fellow to conclude.
There lies very huge tracts of virgin-undeveloped land areas in Kenya. A good example is the North-Eastern parts of Kenya specifically Turkana where oil was recently discovered. The director of the drilling-exploring oil firm could not put it more aptly when she correctly referred to that oil-rich area which has now caught the special attention of the country's government as "comparable to the terrain of the moon's surface." Indeed, all I can add to that is that that was just a glimpse in to the state-of-affairs of the larger fraction of all land of the square area of Kenya.For example in Turkana the would welcome visitors from other parts of Kenya with greetings asking them "How Kenya is doing." What in essence that means is that they are far flung from any infrastructural structures and facilities that would give even the remotest inkling that their territory is part and parcel of Kenya.It is a sad tale that these people marginalized since independence have had nothing in connection with the rest of Kenya; that they have to walk to neighboring country Ethiopia's shopping markets when going to take the month's stock for no other reason than that it is nearer their habitat and would only take a day's journey compared to the three or four day's it would take connecting to the nearest Kenyan shopping markets.That in the outer-most interior parts of this oil-rich Turkana Land,we still have members of the tribe walking around in nothing but sisal strings tied around their waist with some-kind of leafy covering on their reproductive organs.They are that marginalized from civilization. The same scenario of backwardness is repeated in multiple regions all over the country.
I think, albeit the governments slow reform pace, it finally dawned upon them, the-powers -that-be of the day, either due to formal agitation or shame that they finally took it seriously, picked their tools and hence formed a new ministerial portfolio namely " ministry of metropolitan development.... blah,blah,blah" to look specifically in to the affairs of marginalized-hardship areas and peoples. Nevertheless, it is not a pressing priority for who will take care of the public coffers given that the elected leaders have only a mere five-year term tenure.Worse still going by precedent of following in the footsteps of the old home-guards who were handed self-governance and independence on a silver platter, once elected, these sly highway-robbers-club a.k.a. legislatures make it a rule and a sport to out-do each other on thieving the lay public in broad day light.
Multi-billion financial dollar scandals are the order of the day fueled by ethnicity and the infamous " It is our time to eat" syndrome.You see, Kenyan politics are divided and guided between, amongst and by the tribal chiefs' power baron-brokers who exploit the laity of the uninformed Kenyan-mass majority. Later virtual s.
Seven earth-like exo-planets in terms of size, density and solar-radiation orbiting their dwarf-star (sun) in TRAPPIST-1 Solar System 40 light-years away whereby three hang in the 'habitable zone' {in relative proportional-dimensions to earth from its sun} indicating they can support 'liquid'-water on the surface making them potential destinations for technogeneticultural anatomically-modern postranshominization civilizations to colonize for habitation should a catastrophe threaten us.
