Stressed Kenyan: Impeach CORD If It's Possible!!!

First thing: Kenya is sinking. We are cruising straight to Hell - at an astronomical speed. We know what awaits us at the end of this spectacle but we've chosen to wear a brave face. Of course, as an expression of our usual false bravado. We know we are going to crush and be reduced to ashes. We understand the enormity of this pain. But still, our jogooness won't give way to soberness. We are cooked.

Second thing: We have a contest of egos in place of people-centered governance. We have a government of errors, an opposition of comedies and a citizenry that is inherently off-radar. A nation that happily walks in the valley of slavery; yeah self-imposed, tribal-inspired slavery. Again, add the religious  chama - yes, The Church and their other friends, and you get a delicious political soup for baby Wanjiku. The question is: Is Wanjiku "hungry" and in need of this life-giving "soup"?

Now, straight to my point. Isn't it time to impeach CORD? I know this is a constitutional impossibility. There’s zero kipengele for this in our katiba. So, let's deviate from the legalism of impeachment. All in all there's a solid reason why this question must trouble us - Kenyans. We are cornered and it is quite sensible for us to look for a way out. This is why: When I see CORD sinking, I say Hurray! When I see Jubilee stealing, I say Hurray! Reason? They have awakened Kenyans' collective conscience.

The membership of the two camps is visibly the same. Their guiding philosophy is one and the same. Kenyans are just but clowns in this game. The whole enterprise is owned and managed by a succession of names whose ancestry we all know. 

So, one more question: What is the essence of impeaching CORD?

I will explain. A goofy CORD is an enemy of Kenya. An Opposition grouping that fronts a national harambee in order to pay teachers' dues is emblematic of an extension of a lazy, apathetic government. Surely, how sustainable is this? Couldn't these people recycle other viable proposals to unlock this government-teachers' stalemate?

I think there's something good with this proposal. Its proponents have cleverly demonstrated their incapability to govern Kenya. You see, good move for Wanjiku! She needs not crack her mind peeling back the masks of this "shadow government". 

I tend to agree with Miguna Miguna of the "Peeling Back the Mask" fame. An Opposition that cannot oppose the urge to jump off a cliff is a dead opposition. It has zero oomph! It must be redeemed by all conscientious beings. 

Such an Opposition "indirectly" partakes in the thieving within the governing group. A political squad that breaks into a dance in order to bank on our collective hopelessness should never be entrusted with state power. Hell is under their feet. Worry not compatriots, now you know what you are supposed to know.

Hope you got the drift. If we fix the Opposition, in this case, CORD, we will end up fixing Kenya's cancer of useless jogooness.

Only a liberated, detribalized, "hungry and angry", courageous, conscientious, patriotic Wanjiku can effect this change. Paradise is in her bosom.

First, she must refuse to contribute to the #SolidarityHarambee fronted by CORD. Secondly, she must crucify big, protected, fat, national thieves the way she does to their village counterparts. After all, isn't this the fairness we've always been talking about?

Impeach CORD now!
