A Thousand Questions to the Jubilee Government-Governor Joel Evans(GJE)

I start my train of queries at such a high note, trying to care less about the unfolding in the long run, though keen enough not to end up my neck jostled, my teeth gritted, my nails plucked, my hands bungled, my lower limbs dented, and my intestines butchered with some special government spy agencies, or at the very least, by the vulgar hoi polloi, who neither give a damn nor understand the essence of ridicule or criticism! Mysterious deaths of high-profiled personalities still remain being a norm, fifty years down the road, after independence.

What really happened to Mohammed Makaburi? How comes that his death dawns at a time when our national security apparatus is grappling to shun terrorism? Didn’t Makaburi prove to the Kenyan law courts that indeed, unlike what many thought of him, he was innocent? Just like his brother Sheikh Aboud Rogo, who was also murdered in cold blood? And even if Makaburi was guilty as charged, was that the best way to eradicate him? That ruthlessly? That Heartlessly? You have actually escalated the grudge between his loyal followers and you, as the government, don’t you think so? Your hopes, methinks,  is that his subscribers will remain mum and fail to retaliate! Aren’t those false hopes? Empty hopes? Barren hopes? They are a bitter lot seized in perpetual “injustice.” You just jeopardized Mombasa with such divide and rule tactics.

Mombasa town is now no longer the place to be, thanks to the rampant horrific events taking hostage of the City. His Excellency the President, has just given a two weeks ultimatum to all those possessing illegal arms to surrender them to the government. Call it disarmament. I mean, seriously, two weeks? A whole two weeks? Is that not long of a duration compared to the rate at which innocent Kenyan souls are being lost by such illicit fire-arms? I expected him to talk of three days at most, but too unfortunate. My expectations were shuttered pre-maturely. Why is the government so slack anyway? Why continue buying time at such a wake up call of masses destruction? Thanks to your new traffic rules, few matatus are on the road, and a few from opulent social classes too, with their private guzzlers. The majority, are on their feet.

Oh my, at least, we can now conclude that Kenya is a walking a nation. But wait a minute, hallow, Wanjiku and Atieno have now been forced to dig deeper into their shallow pockets in abid to pay the hiked fare prices, yet the economy is unfavorable? Is this a government of double standards? The owners of these matatus must be appreciated for they are potential job creators, but right now, with your initiatives, you literally retrenched thousands of matatu drivers and touts, is that just? But why ? Why so, jubilee government? Wasn’t there another approach for mid-wifing such good traffic rules initiative? Scratching my head! Kenya at fifty, or stoically so, yet we still have bureaucratic red-tapes in our government offices? Until when shall such atavistic protocols come to a stand-still? Or are they still here to stay, at least for another while? Was the standard railway gauge project another ghost project? When you thought of the project, what came to your mind? Am aware of its merits, only if it sounded more authentic, however. Phew! What happened to the Westgate terror attack report to be released for public consumption and scrutiny? So the report also got lost just as the perpetrators of the attack? So such strong vices just disappear like that, with or without anyone being brought to book? Since Rt Hon Raila’s loss in March 4th 2013 General elections, did we, as a state, generally become an “Accept and Move on” nation? Such that with or without the actual details of the mall attack, should Kenyans accept and move on? Despite millions of us still shrouded in darkness? Is the truth that hard to dispense? Just like TJRC, it too, meandered it’s way out without any significant account. Mr President, when are you planning to re-shuffle your cabinet secretaries? Hon Aden Duale, whom to me, many a times than not, sounds like a sycophant as opposed to a loyal liberal, when are the standard one laptops reaching the remote areas in Turkana and Lodwar? The thirty percent tenders in government dealings to be awarded to youths and women, why are they not materializing? We are only witnessing around fifteen percent, where does the other half disappear to? Inspector General Kimaiyo, we have heard enough of your tough speeches on curbing insecurity, but when do you plan to start implementing your plans on the ground? It is so unfortunate that thousands of questions still linger unanswered to many Kenyans. So unfortunate! Until then, have a jubilated week, won’t you?
