It is baffling how Kenyans do things the other way round. I suggest that the country be put on spot on that matter in international news. Recently when fire broke at one of the largest supermarket store, citizens (mostly Kenyan native ) took to their heels to witness the event, oblivious of the potential dangerous events that might follow, and most of them going too close to obstruct rescue operations. Indeed, it is a strange behavior; a sound mind would be thinking about safety. Anyway, many strange things happen in Kenya.
On the night of Saturday 31st, when an oil tanker overturned in Molo (in Kenyan Rift Valley) a flock of residents scampered towards the tanker in search for the black gold. Unfortunately - and I must pause to mourn and apologize to bereaved families --- a fire explosion ensued killing several people, including young footballers at the site. One guy notes that Kenyan needs civic education more than the 5 days of mourning declared by the government. Indeed, that is necessary to avert such horrible occurrences, but also to learn legitimate ways of improving our lives through. There are several untapped opportunities, which leaders can guide the citizens on exploiting.
Some rumors reveal that at some point along the Machakos-Mombasa road, a river exists that flows against the gravity; what a good tourist attraction. I am yet to visit the spot. Elsewhere, it in a small village in Kenya that boasts of producing a man who has become The First Black President of the United State against all odds. Did you hear what a man his father was?
