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?’

The Seven Deaths of Mr. Steven Akumu: The Five Death

  ‘Curiosity killed the pussy.’ This is what they had forgotten to tell Mr. Steven Akumu. ‘Bang!’ The house shook, smoke filled the compound, shots rang out. Azrael was come. But how did we get here? Mr. Steven Akumu, a man of big ambition. He had thrown his hat in the ring, intent to unseat the reigning Member of Parliament for Mashimoni. That is before he shifted his residence and his political base. Now, Mashimoni is a placid place. A placid place, on ordinary days. The people – courteous, friendly, going about their bustles fashionably late, lazily, even. But come election time, the waters are stirred and trouble reigns in paradise. Then, gangs of marauding youths, with machetes – brandished and concealed – are employed to control the electoral outcome. The lingo – ‘to secure the bases’, and on election day, ‘to guard the vote’. Their leaders, they supplement these efforts with a pistol or two. Mr. Steven Akumu began his campaigns innocently enough. He had not gotten the memo

Ok, some of the lessons when scaling up: Ask for help; Believe in yourself; Resilience; Change of Mind-set. What’s the share of Bill Gates in Microsoft? We are asked. We throw figures around: 30, 90, 50… the percentages…

Angry Nairobians

  Nairobians are angry. Very angry. Perhaps, I should do a song, or some poetry piece, so that I can fully convey this: Nairobians, angry, hungry Nairobians, relatives to poverty Nairobians, has become their enemy – money Nairobians, no longer can access – honey. Nairobians, in their leaders – no hope Nairobians, unwashed – can’t afford soap The government, has lost – goodwill from the people No longer cute – the SG’s and the Governor’s dimples. Nairobi, despondency – hangs in the air Doing business, feels like living in the lion’s lair Taxes, more taxes – women can’t afford pretty hair Angry, hungry, for Nairobians – there is despair. It’s around 11pm. Nyayo House, recently declared a Corruption Free Zone. Hang around in a group outside, and some administration policeman will enquire of your business. I am here on some business. It is full house, majority seeking passports to get a breather outside the country… the National Youth Service have been seconded to assist s
