Kenya ni Kipenzi

 


Kenya ni Kipenzi

Kenya ni kipenzi, nchi tulivu
Amani kaipa Mungu, daima milele
Natujivunie wana wake, tumpongeze
Kila siku, tuwe wakushukuru.

Kenya ni Kipenzi, kweli yapendeza
Tsavo, Amboseli – mbuga za wanyama
Kericho, Limuru – chai tamu sana
Kilifi, Kisumu – fuo zenye kung’aa.

Kenya ni kipenzi, nchi tulivu
Amani kaipa Mungu, daima milele
Natujivunie wana wake, tumpongeze
Kila siku, tuwe wakushukuru.

 

Pale Turkana – chimbuko la binadamu
Bonde la ufa – muujiza wake Muumba
Mombasa sawa– kisiwa shwari raha
Historia yetu tukufu – Amu (Tamu) Lamu.

Kenya ni kipenzi, nchi tulivu
Amani kaipa Mungu, daima milele
Natujivunie wana wake, tumpongeze
Kila siku, tuwe wakushukuru.

Wakenya watu wa bidii, sio wakaidi
Ukarimu pasi kuigwa, roho ya utu
Wanariadha wake sifika, ulimwengu
Kilimo, utalii, uvumbuzi, na mengi zaidi.


Kenya ni kipenzi, nchi tulivu
Amani kaipa Mungu, daima milele
Natujivunie wana wake, tumpongeze
Kila siku, tuwe wakushukuru.

Hata katika wakati wa dhiki, Kenya kweli ni nchi barikiwa na teule. Mandhari yake ni yenye kuvutia na wananchi wake wakarimu ajabu. Ndiposa ni vyema kujiuliza, ‘Nini naweza kuifanyia nchi yangu ili iimarike zaidi?’

My Once-Molly (Political versus Business Ethics),

  Dear Molly. How are you? As always, I hope you are well. You know, there is something about you, something that made me inspire for better. Was it that rich smokers’ laughter of yours? The daring twinkle that flashed in your eyes when you were angry? The tight curl in your lips when you were about to lash out? Anyway, Molly, I continue with my business training. I am now thinking of business as warfare – the honourable kind of warfare; chivalry, observing the rules… not the Machiavellian 48-Laws-of-Power warfare where there is no honour, but only winning. Politics of deceit, our president calls it. Well, these past couple of days have been chilly… a precursor to June’s biting cold? Anyway, I am more often sad than happy during the cold months of June and July. I totally blame this on Sam Kahiga’s short story, ‘The Last Breath’ – if my memory serves me right. Off the ‘Encounters from Africa’ anthology. There is a way he made June and July sad. Pretty much like you wouldn’t tai...

My Once-Molly (The Job To Be Done),

My dear Molly, how are you? I hope you are good. I am well as well can be, with the flooding, the inflation, and all. Anyway, grapevine (or maybe, I am a stalker) has it that you are nowadays into the beauty business. Very soon, I too will be emulating you. We may be compatible at all, conquer the world together as business icons. My dear Molly, it may interest you to know that I am doing business training – my bank, UBA, and its founder, Tony Elumelu, is that special. Always seeking to empower African entrepreneurs. The excellent thing about the training is that it is very practical to today’s and the coming future business needs. As a matter of course, we also are directed to additional reading to widen our entrepreneurial minds. The Job To Be Done. Clayton M. Christensen. In the words of Johnny Nash, ‘I can see clearly now that the rain is gone. I can see all obstacles on my way…’ What a beauty this is! It is something you should look up, understand what is it you are selling to...

My-Once Molly (Praying for a Rainbow),

Dear Molly, I hope you are ok and are keeping safe in these floods. As for me, I am heartbroken. I am in pain. My mind, my body, my spirit aches. I am numb with grief. As is the nation of Kenya. The picture just won’t get out of our minds – the father, trudging stoically, his dead, muddy son slung over his shoulder. It’s a devastating image… the screams, elsewhere, as a boat capsizes, the swollen river swallows a lorry… Izrael has visited the land. Dear Molly, a while back, the nation faced drought. Then, images of dead livestock, emaciated men, women and children, parched, cracked earth, haunted our screens. Elsewhere where there was a glut in food production, the farmers cried for their fellow starving countrymen. They demanded for lorries to traverse the rutted roads and take the produce to their brethren… collectively, we prayed for rain. Dear Molly... will we ever catch a break as Kenya? The Covid-19 pandemic that paralysed lives and livelihoods in 2020 as we recovered from th...
