Kibaki sinking Kenya

I have just been doing my usual round up of Kenyan news and it is depressing to say the least.
The latest Grand Regency saga is just pathetic. We all know that Kibaki and Kimunya and a pack of friends who belong to the same tribe went in and did a deal. They negotiated and sold a public asset to Libyans at a throw away price.

Now what baffles me is the inability for certain Kenyans to call a spade a spade and invoke morality when it is needed.
We do not need an expert , a committee or god - forbid another one of those expensive circuses that they call commissions of inquiry to find out what happened. But knowing Kenya that is wxactky going to happen. Despite the great disappointments that the Kibaki government has upheld since its inception in 2002 there are people who fail to see this and in many of the blogs that I read and participate in . There were many people who lauded Kibaki for brining about economic development, free primary education and a host of things that he was indeed supposed to do as his given his mandate.

To put this straight- a group of us Kenyans have sunk so low - in our integrity and deep in our tribalism such that we would never condemn one of our own - whatever it is they do.
The Government has made several mishaps and misspoken a gazillion times on issues ranging from the IDP's to 'justice' for post election violence perpretators
But what the this section of Kenyans that I am attacking fail to see that this is what the rest of Kenya - who opposed Kibaki was fighting for all along
A new different team that excludes cronies like Kimunya, Ndung'u , Ringera and the rest of that inner circle who more often than not are members of the same tribe.

This kind of thinking is not unique to Kenyans - it is embraced by some in the other countries such as the US.Scores of people who keep on blaming immigrants for their jobs while their jobs are been shipped abroad by the same corporations who are run by people who are ethnically homogenous to themselves

I don't know what it will take for certain people to see wrong as wrong and right as right .There trully is a deficiency of morality going round the world
