JIPANGE!!!!

There was a time in my life, in fact for most part of my life, I have been a patriotic citizen. I have always been proud to be Kenya. Well, that was a long time ago... An awfully long time ago; but not long enough for me to forget that feeling; the feeling of patriotism. It was a great feeling. To pride yourself in something is a great feeling! To pride yourself in your country, your heritage, your governance systems; that's the kind of feeling that makes (wo)men volunteer their lives in times of war. Kinda like Osama and his jihad extremists peeps. *Sigh* I miss that feeling.

I was utterly disgusted, to put it mildly, yesterday! But, I have generally become a disgusted Kenyan. Everything disgusts me. Our transport system totally irks me! I cannot bring myself to understanding why drivers are so reckless on roads that have traffic police; I cannot see the logic behind paying Kes. 30 to town when heading to town and then Kes. 100 back home, in a span of twenty minutes. I do not understand why I would pay Kes. 40 to Nairobi Hospital and someone going to Kawangware will pay the same damn amount! ITS RIDICULOUS!!! That is transport.

I cannot understand why buildings collapse every year yet the City Council insists on increasing rates on everything. I cannot understand why a new car I just bought has been rid off its side-mirrors yet the car parked next to City Council. ITS BY FAR THE SILLIEST THING!

I could go on and on and on about the things that disgust me about Kenya. But of all the things; our "LEADERS" effortlessly take trophy home. I mean, they do it with such ease I'm left to wonder if they live the same lives as we do. *SIGH*. What has triggered this rant you ask?... Other that the normal childish and silly behavior of our politicians e.g. Waititu publicly throwing stones with demonstrating chaps or him telling Nairobi City Council that he will get gangsters to stop them (NCC) from demolishing any buildings in his constituency; never mind this building could eventually collapse and kill the same constituents he is OBLIGATED to protect... This has not  been triggered by the fact that we have systems that allow drug-lords to be our MPs. Nope. This has everything to do with MPs &TAXES. Apparently those two words cannot be used in the same sentence unless the following words appear in between them: SHOULD NOT!!!

I delve into this topic with a little bit of grace and after having asked the God Lord to give me self control. I listened intently, but with utter disgust, as they effinfools gave  multiple reasons why they cannot pay their taxes. Dear God!

Madam Minister of Water & Irrigation had this to say about the issue: Asking them to pay taxes is disorienting them because if the pay taxes, and they have no businesses on the side (yeah right?!?) we will force them to "JIPANGA!"

Gwasi MP, John Mbadi said the move would violate human rights of MP's because they have a five year contract..."I am not against paying taxes. What I am saying is that you are going to inconvenience me, because when I came here I had planned my life around the money but now you are telling me that I am going to earn Kes.195,000 less" 

I will not even dare indulge the Gwasi MP on this blog! Its an exercise in futility. As for Madam Minister of Water & Irrigation... I will indulge. I choose to indulge her because she is a corrupt woman who has over the years gotten away with her ill activities. I will indulge her because I am disgusted by the fact that she is a WOMAN  involved in corrupt activities  who shelters herself in the wings of her pretentious dictator boss! YEAH I SAID IT!

Madam Minister of Water&Irrigation: KUJIPANGA is a way of life in Kenya. It is what US Kenyans do! It is what we have been doing for the last God-knows-how-many-years! Forgive us, if we are asking you to be Kenyan and get in touch with your citizens and their plight! KUJIPANGA Madam Minister of Water&Irrigation, is what the lady in Kibera with five kids and is making a mere Kes.10,000 per month does! From that, she pays her rent, feeds her family, buys clothes for her children, pays her transport cost - which is not a necessity - and saves some little money. That is what KUJIPANGA MEANS!!! 

We have a different kind of breed of leaders, the kind that doesn't give a rats ass about Kenyans! They just don't give a damn. There is a saying of sorts that people get the leaders they deserve... The leaders of a nation are only as good as the citizens of that nation! That's a truck-load of horse crap! We are not our leaders! I refuse to believe that and be content with bad leadership (leaders who are full of crap) because I am allegedly as good as them; I am not full of horse crap! 

In the words of the KRA boss Mr. Waweru: "If MPs pay tax, they’ll gain the moral authority to talk about tax, to use that tax and to even determine how that tax is used... No one should be exempted from paying tax,”

This post was me being a pissed off Kenyan, because Madam Minister of Water&Irrigation thinks its a crime to ask her to JIPANGA and her idiotic colleague thinks him earning Kes.195,000 MINIMUM is a crime and him paying tax is a violation of HIS HUMAN RIGHTS, yet I am unemployed and the last I checked, I HAVE RIGHTS TOO!!!! 

With an exception of JEREMIAH KIONI & JOHNSON MUTHAMA, ALL THE OTHER DAMN POLITICIANS SHOULD GO TO HELL!!! good-for-nothing-.................

*SIGH*
