The current predicament
prevailing in Kenya is one that does warrant some scrutiny in detail. The trend
of conditions indicate that though several players are pushing their interests
and trying to create the advantage for themselves, the outcomes are really
beyond all of them. The current global mood of intolerance does not favor
strong international relations. In this environment every country is to fend
for itself as everyone concentrates on their own business. In these
circumstances I strongly recommend that we re-examine our national values and the
spirit of our personal commitments to the land God has entrusted to us.
We know that drought is an
(unfortunate) environmental phenomenon that man may bring about, but is
certainly not in control of. Only God can right that wrong. Man is not in control
of the elements and therefore his destiny is in the hands of God. Indeed, there
are areas with no water; no crops and animals are dying in the fields. The
people affected in these areas cannot vote in a government that will produce
rain, nor will the award of higher rewards for striking workers produce crops
in the fields.
There is a misplaced belief that
politicians have the answer to the nation’s problems, but any set of politicians
that will inherit leadership will be saddled with a government and a country to
lead. I would be very careful in these circumstances and consider the fact that
leadership at this time in the nation’s destiny would require divine
intervention.
The case of striking workers is
one which entrepreneurs look on in pure wonder and amazement! No entrepreneur can
go on strike. His or her livelihood depends solely on his or her own
initiative. Save for the grace of God the entrepreneur has no recourse to his
future. Employees, for some strange reason, entertain the privilege of unconditionally
determining their pay. This is a most unfortunate circumstance in which no one
benefits, people die, industry suffers and workers compromise their personal integrity.
Whether it is drought, politics, strikes
or corruption the victims are the people. To my mind, these set of
circumstances cannot be solved by any one man or even group of women. I beg you
my people that it is time to seek the face of God.
