SABA SABA IS A DAY ANY RATIONAL KENYAN HAS TO PARTICIPATE

On the 7th day of july,1990 Kenyans got out in thousands to protest against oppressive one-party regime that continued to rule rule Kenya, perpetuating  impunity and rewarding then that sang praises to infamous nyayo regime. The police acting on state order arrested and detained all those accused of calling on unlawful demo, among accused was Raila, Rubia, shikuku, wa mwere among others. Kamukunji grounds become a battle field as police engaged citizens in a fierce running battle. Hundreds were injured and deaths reported but this marked a beginning  of a new era. A era of zero tolerance to an insensitive government. 2 years down the line the Moi regime gave in to demands of time, allowing repeal of section 2A.

More than a decade later, here a call by the opposition on sabasaba, rekindling memories of this historical moment. Why again? someone may ask :- this call draws our attention to real issues that we have been deceiving ourselves that time is providing solutions. I dare use the term "deceiving ourselves"because these issues are long overdue. They raised their ugly face in 2007, but we quickly forged peace. Assuming that this will never happen again. We ignored TJRC report because it never went down well with aristocracy that runs this country 50years,down independence lane. In 2013 scholars of time forged the term "tyranny of numbers" to blind masses on the invincible hand that determines election and safeguards this aristocracy. Today, many kenyans are feeling it and many still are victims of circumstances of this system maliciously established by one Mzee kenyatta the first president of this state.

Let me clarify this, unlike other champions of panAricanism, kenyatta layed foundations of this state on tribalism, nepotism and negative ethnicity  which are fertile soils on which corruption blossoms. Moi followed "nyayo" and perpetuated it. Kibaki  was a victim, we cried foul in 2007 missing and opportunity to correct the system. It is a system which comprises of fossilized evils that its perpetrators form a council of elders and cartels that directs political and economic state of this nation.You will ask me how?

• They are behind all basic commodities consumed in this country:- OIL,you will be surprised we refine and export oil in Uganda were it is cheaper than here.Maize,sugar, energy and all key economic sectors of this economy.
• They run corrupt state tenders costing poor kenyans billions every year
• They are unseen faces behind drug cartels and you dare investigate, you die.
• You will be surprised how tightly they hold security and intelligence apparatus in this country and ensure their puppets enjoy security of tenure. Let us blame politics, Alsha bab and what have you for insecurity but it will take an critical eye to tell it is the rot in this system of command that mskes us vulnerable

• The cost of living is biting the common mwanainchi but no bill can be passed to cushion them. Reason, the unseen forces behind these essential commodities. 

They do all they can to hold tight to their oppressive antics and you dare challenge them, you get finished socially and p[politically.  They pedal state funded propaganda every time the nation faces an issue of national concern. Soiling the innocents and increasing the number of those justice will ever be illusion. Mark you, we have had police officers killed in cold blood in attempt to unearth vices like drugs syndicates,  we can name leaders who have died in unclear circumstances wherever they spoke against evils they see maneuvered  by unseen hand, a character of the godfathers of this state.

Kenya has grown to state whereby truth is non-existant. Lie rules and anything fabricated in favour of those close to aristocracy. Sycophants are are being highly rewarded to cheat the masses of equal opportunities for all.  Tribal animosity has grown and only God knows what tomorrow holds.

A call for dialogue is a call for all citizens to start being realistic with the reality that things are not all well. Democracy is entitles majority have way and minority have a say, but this never is. Sustainable economic development will remain an illusion not until we shall talk and be sincere with each other. Failure to dialogue will mean a country much more divided and any conscience kenyan must realize this is not sustainable in long term. We are quick to sweep under carpet deaths of kenyans who we consider insignificant but quick to pedal state propaganda whenever "some special" people are victims.

Owe unto you who ignore call for dialogue, quickly dismiss threatening leaflets because we don't want to talk of those who are behind them. Refusing to talk, simply implies we embrace for tribal on-slaughter, if not a genocide. Let not our spiritual leaders lie to us, the Bible even warns against claiming peace where its none-existent. God forbide, we ignore dialogue at our own peril.
