I read somewhere of how an attorney husband was always fond of saying;”
when the fact are on your side; pound the facts. When the law is on your side;
pound the law! When neither is on your side, pound the podium.”
The podium pounding is usually for our leaders when neither facts nor
law is on their side. Since I am a patriot with charisma; I will pound on the
facts.
Robbery is antisocial- a proven determination to break the law. But just
so you think of the many men and women who are busy breaking or bending the law
in all coasts of climes.
After all these; these so called man and women provide an alibi. Look for
a copy of one of this daily. You’ll be shocked to find there a story of the
government official who stole over Ksh. 7M cool. But that’s not new. Such stories
make splash headlines all over our African continent. Stories of how people are
making a difference in our poor slums only get a caption.
The government official was antisocial, but how many of his type do you
know? And how many more go undetected? I say, if my avocation was antisocial,
then thank God, I’m in good company. And that company consists of countries,
transnational organizations, public servants, high and low men and women.
The only difference is that; while I’m prepared to pay the price for it
all; the others are not.
It’s about time well- endowed and well-trained people took to it. They’ll
bring to the profession a romantic benefit of the society.
No; I’m not mad! On the contrary, my heart is at peace. Time was when
the running and ruining of African nations was in the hands of half-literate
politicians. Today, well-endowed and better trained people have taken over the
task, and look how well they are doing it.
