A one term 10 year Presidential regime in Kenya

A one term 10 year Presidential regime in Kenya

I have witnessed what we as a nation can do during adversity and as recently depicted by our politicians while serving as guest of the state. Now I turn the television to CNN and get trump with his usual bantering and abusing of everybody he does not like, a more forceful character reminding me of our own Moses Kuria.

Meanwhile Hillary of the Clinton's is making history and charming the purse string holders. I think the gods and history are on her side, America is ready for a woman president, but that's a story for another day.

I reflect back at the post election violence, the ICC cases, the massive corruption and all the government excesses, tribalism, nepotism,not to mention IEBC crinkum-crankum,then look at this politicians continuously politicking and as law abiding tax paying citizen start to wonder.Did we all migrate to Ibiza or have we won a lottery thus in cloud nine?

I find we Kenyans as very forgetful almost like Lot's wife in the bible and are living in Sodom and Gomorrah. 

Then it probes my mind into looking at the word word democracy-*a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives*, its fascinating and does not reflect  our African nature.

As I continue my scan through news channels I land on BBC and the British are doing their thing; call it Brexit or Bremin, sometimes its shocking the level of freedom these people have to chat their destiny, but they deep down I know they have had their own struggles.

Then it probes my mind into looking at the word word autocracy-*a system of government by one person with absolute power*, and wala we Africans cherish this system of government, so I ask my self why can't we have the same in Kenya?, but then again am reminded of our progress and hope of reaching the middle class economy.

I see what the Arabian gulf and Asian tigers are doing and am left with egg on my face. To imagine that 40 years ago this countries GDP could not come close to Kenyans, is traumatizing to say the least. The transformation that this countries have had can best be described as a miracle. Or could we be dreaming? If so please wake me up, I want to taste if not see the reality.

A friend of mine in the middle of a story as we discussed politics which we tend to do very often indicated that we could be practicing as Kenya a system of plutocracy*government by the wealthy* and to some extent it looks more like it.

Imagine a Kenya where we do elections once in ten years, I long for such a Kenya. I see the way people get exhausted every five years after an election with the pettiness , tribalism , nepotism, corruption, electoral incompetence and malpractice. I honestly think as a nation we have way more important things than to politic every given chance.

Judiciary in turmoil, everyone suing everyone, it will soon be difficult to present your case in court, but that's what make us unique, we are Kenyan like that. The land of Julius Yego, we are the people who lent our son to the Americas. We demand respect from our leaders, we elected them to preserve and protect our sanctity, not demonstrate our barbarism in public.

A ten year one term presidential system of government will enable the holder of the office have humble time to implement his/her manifesto without constant guilt of time constraints and free of political interference or sideshows.
