all about the Kenyan idiot

Okey let me be totally honest about my motives for starting down this path. I have always been better with a pen in my hand.

I begin this voyage into my mind with you out of the sheer frustration with the local papers for not publuishing my oppinions in their pages! I chose the name KenyanIdiot for two reasons: 1.To poke fun of politicians / people & the situations around me and 2. and most important as a refrence to myself as just an ordinary person with something to say: I am the Idiot.

The tittle came from a conversation with my sister about the crazy world of politics in this country. You see like many avarage people we like to talk about our politics, politicians and their latest shinanigans, but make no mistake this blog won't be just political!

Enjoy.

    Well well well. Kudos on starting you own literary journey (or journal depending on how one views this) and I really do think your words should be published so that our incompetent government (well most of the leaders we have dont know what they're doing in office!) can learn from a bright young mind like yours! Hope this wont eat up all your time though, for I still need a constructive critic for my poetry! Lol! Keep it up my dear! :-)

    When there is something to be said, there will always be an outlet (even if it is not the one you think it should be at first :-))You have always been great with the pen and I am so proud. Looking forward to hearing a lot more from you. As hubby said you are off to a great start!!! It is amazing what a little chat can lead to...

The Big car syndrome

Everyone- at least here in Africa has an ongoing fascination and a never ending love-affair with big four wheel drive cars. If you have one everyone else assumes that you're rich, this is in many cases an over assumption because most people who have large cars have loaned money from their banks to acquire not only the car but also the sense of status it brings. This syndrome is so far in-bread within us even our MP's refuse to drive smaller more money saving cars calling them 'school boy' vehicles. These false ideas are irritating, and, more importantly drive many who can not afford them to the brink poverty and possible bankruptcy just for the show of it. We seem to be drawn to the flashy things in life like moths to a flame, it seems we all love to show off to our would be friends. It seems like, some of our politicians and super rich wouldn't be caught anywhere in small saloon cars. They are so attached to their four wheeled friends that they are no longer a

Rain comes from the sky

I have been meaning to write this for days now but have found ways to put it off. I was trying to sort it out in my mind as well as maintain a level of objectivity... Well, technically it does, the clouds absorb water from lakes and oceans, which fills up the cloud and down comes the rain. But that is beside the point; the point is that because of global warming- the increase in the average temperature of the earth's air and oceans since the mid 20th century-the rivers and lakes are drying up so there is less water for the evaporation process necessary for rain. Forests like the Mau are very important because trees do away with greenhouse gasses by using up carbon dioxide molecules. Once the CO2 is removed from the atmosphere oxygen is released into the air. Chopping down these trees as is seen in the Mau nullifies this process. Furthermore the trees in the forest prevent sunlight from reaching the ground, when trees are felled their stumps decomposition is hastened resulting in
