The wise men said; 'Charity begins at home',
Why then do Kenyans expect Hon. Charity Ngilu to start it elsewhere. The ones pointing fingers at the iron lady are those who come from the greener parts of the country. I grew up seeing women from Ukambani walk long kilometers without food and water...and with malnourished kids on their back...come to our place to beg for food. The day I saw some eat ugali that had already gone bad made me realize that something was truly wrong somewhere.
We are tired of seeing our fellow people seek the help of Red Cross and USAID. When one of us comes and helps them...its termed as tribalism. Where were the water minister supposed to initiate these projects; in Kibera, or is it in Kitale? I'm totally behind this lady. What she has been able to do cannot get a reward from this country. We will only acknowledge her efforts when she wins an International award; or during her funeral.
It's been years since I last saw people from Kamba land in our region. Not that we have broken the ties...but knowing that they are now independent makes me feel good. As for those baying for Ngilu's dismissal, only God can understand you.
