dream and let dream; Any on can dream themselves into Kenya's Presidency

Dreams are an important part of human existence, become the bridge between the possible and the not so possible, dreams fuel the human spirit and make life worth living. In-fact that dreams are part of the reason I publish this third rate blog dreaming that some pays attention and gives me a job. So when this past week two very likable gentlemen and a hitherto unknown fellow throw their heart in the ring and announce their candidacy for president come 2012 we can only wait and see whether their dreams will come to fruition.
Mutava Musyimi and Peter Keneth are what one might call outsiders to Kenya’s political equation, expendable variables that can be done away with without adversely the political dispensation of this country. Conventional political though in this country uses ethnic algorithm and inept matrices to determine who becomes president in this country. So Mr. Mutava allegedly lacking ethnic Constituency is derided as an outsider to the succession debate and Mr. Kenneth a man whose ethnic constituency depends upon others namely (Uhuru Kenyatta) is also shrugged off as an outsider, a man without ethnic clout. Enter Isaac Jaffer a little known Kenyan from a minority ethnic group and we are almost pissing on ourselves with laughter when he announces his bid to become Kenya’s president.
We need to ask ourselves some pertinent questions. As a nation we blame the government for mismanaging the country, yet we are the same tribal ass-h*les that vote less on principle and more on ethnic bigotry. Who are we as tribal ass-holes to put a cap on individual dreams.
As a nation we have to dream and let dream. We have to change our wanton ways and give everyone explicit opportunity to express to politically express themselves either through voting or having their names on the ballot paper.

On a lighter note how on hell does your lecturer call you at 5.00 A.M in the morning? I understand though he is calling from a different time zone; the county of United Kisumu (UK).

Until we let an Obama dream, a Mandela dream or an Ellen Johnson Sir-leaf then forever we will remain shackled to our unfulfilled dream
