THE NEW GENERATION THAT WILL REVOLUTIONISE AFRICA…

I

 Read somewhere of how an attorney husband was always fond of saying, “when the facts 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 here in Africa when neither facts nor law is on their side. Since I am a patriot with charisma, I will pound 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 men and women provide an alibi. Look for a copy of one of the Daily. You’ll be shocked to find there is 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 while on the other hand; 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, Trans -national organizations, public servants, high and low men and women.

The only difference is that 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 to 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’re doing it.
