Good values at all time, and a vision. That will make you a victor, never giving up.

Florence, Moris:

Do not give up at all – just do something. Start a conversation, a discussion, a group, a movement. Get some momentum, infect others. It’s our country, and we can’t let others ruin it for all, just for their own gain. That’s how change happens – you need to give it a nucleus. The important thing is to adhere to good values at all times. Florence: you owe your children a better country than this. All ‘somebodies’ were ‘nobodies’ once…

Dear Sunny,
There are many adjectives I could use to describe what I think of you. But let me limit myself for now. I think you are brilliant. I love your articles, you have become the reason I buy the Sunday Nation (Mutahi comes a close second). I love your book too, Crown your Customer.
I, like millions of Kenyans am frustrated. A few weeks ago, I wanted to give up. A sense of helplessness engulfed me. But then, I have three little kids. All under four. Actually my first turns four today. And because of them, I will hold on to hope.
Your article yesterday was what I needed! I have so many ideas but each time I ask myself, whats the use? Who will listen, who cares? Who will help those of us without the political clout, or financial muscle to make a difference?
Last month, on one of my low moments ( caused purely by our leadership), I thought: what would it take to organize a march for Mau? ACtually, I even had a poetically inspired name for it: MIllion Man March for Mau (!) yes! And My idea is to mobilize one million people to registerat a minimum of 20 bob – so everyone can actually be part of this, no matter where they belong in the soci-economic strata. So each one gives 20 bob and together, we march for 2 or so kilometers for mau. This way, we raise a minimum of 20 million for the reclamation of mau, and two we make a statement to our leaders. That we can do something. WE, unlike most of them, care enough to try! So I tried to get in touch with Wangare Mathaai but was unable to reach her (again, who am I? ) you see? A lot of us have ideas, we really want to make a change, but even the media, who should be in the fore of giving the voiceless a voice, do not want to listen if you are “nobody”. All ideas must be endorsed by a “somebody” to go anywhere!!
I musn’t speak too much. But if anyone out there reads this, and feels it, lets get together and do this!! We need to leave our children something. At least some rain! Not a desert.
Sunny, Ahsante for keeping us inspired and hopeful. God bless you!

we must admit that our country is under stress. i take time to make interactions with people at the grassroot levels. the masses are talking but not out of joy. they are wondering why the leadership of this country are asking questions they should be answering! when the prime minister talks, he shows frustrations, the vice president is elusive, nobody can understand what he means, the president ofcourse is silent apart from the migingo comment he made in parliament. we expect our leadership to uphold values in the way they are dealing with this country. when kibera residents uproot a railway line and go ahead to prevent its repair, we wonder where our leadership is? those people are just waiting for clear answers, if they are criminals, then why can’t the law take its course? kenyans, lets take kenya where we want, there may be no option but to rebel against this confused coalition, lets begin from our villages.
