*sighs* you read my thoughts! Well done… tuko pamo…?

Tuko pamoja? Really? Bwana Kenyatta, count me out.

Being pamoja is nt necessarily being 2getha on the same class bt ideologically,and who understands wat u going thru.i’m pretty sure you also hav told sme1 of a lower social class ur 2getha.it’s obvious u dont expect him to board a Matatu or Shop at Downtown,it can neva happen bt thats my opinion,doesn’t justify his ‘Tuko Pamoja’ slogan.

Bingwa, umenena! Tuko pamo…sorry yuko pamoja na wengineo!

Bwana Uhuru ako mbe.. mbele! Therefore hatuko pamo.. pamoja!

Tuko pamoja, as in “I f*cked it up and now WE are in trouble”.

mhhhh… u forgot….
15. Few of us have our fathers portraits on the Kenyan currency note.

16. Few of us own land the size of nyanza province

he heard people are dying of hunger and asked why the don’t get food from their fridges and eat.

Dude, you have a point, tuko pamoja my ass!

Vintage M tell it like it is without pulling punches. The truth hurts and many people don’t like to hear it. Others are shy to see it – like seeing naked bodies…the naked truth. You will find that Nigeria is burning because someone has said “tuko pamoja” or that “our people” are being finished.

Kabsaaa. On point.

Lets put it this way Uhuru Paark, Uhuru Highway are purely named after the act of independence not the person of Uhuru Kenyatta refer -The Renaming of Kenya as captured in the book Branding kenya post Independence by Greegory Litafer.

Two We cannot make anyone pay for the sins of their father, especially when we believe in the concept of democracy.

Three, He does not pay taxes? Brookside, Five Stars hotels in the Coast, Homegrown, last i checked the KRA website i saw them listed as taxpayers, lets not criticize for the sake of it.

Four, The fact that people are born into the family of the Bishop, does not make them bishops. the fact that he was born in a wealthy family does not mean that he is to be sidelined if he has thoughts and ideas for this country. I rest

THE DRUID – the crowd that showed up in his rallies cannot constitute a sizable sample frame to conclude that this dude is universally acceptable. Debe ndio huongea.

Uhuru has shown us what he is – a politician who can survive.

Dear Kenyan (Thinker),

Thanks for the well wishes. I am sure there are a lot of people that “meet” but never get to know each other, but since my face is easier for you to recognize, make sure we say hello this time.

I would like to answer some of your questions and I will be brief.

When I say “tuko pamoja” I mean my friends, family and I. I am sure that when you say “we”, you have certain people in mind and they know themselves. It certainly does not mean 40 million, or 6 billion, but feel free to interpret it the way you see fit.

When you say “unwashed masses”, you have crossed the line between a simple question and a political statement. As you undoubtedly know, I do not get into personal political exchanges whose outcome will not help anybody. So, again, feel free to identify yourself as “unwashed masses” but I wonder if you checked with everybody else you presume to represent with that statement to see if they are fine being classified that way?

“You don’t pay taxes”

I do not pay taxes on my parliamentary salary. Neither does any of the other MPs. I certainly did not personally pass that motion and would be more than willing to contribute may fare share if the motion is brought to parliament. And since we are talking about this, I might tell you that I proposed that all government vehicles, especially for ministry officials including myself, be downgraded to less fuel guzzling vehicles. Ministers refused to return their cars and so the files were forwarded to the Justice Department, while all government action goes to die.

I will not talk about family wealth or anything that I think is extraneous. I was one of the very few public figured that declared their wealth before assuming office. Should your question not be why the others refused to declare themselves?

“Few of us have airports named after their fathers (JKIA)
Few of us have highways named after us (Uhuru Highway)
Few of us have parks named after us (Uhuru Park)
Few of us have streets named after us (Kenyatta Avenue)
Few of us have universities named after us (Kenyatta University)
Few of us have conference centers named after us (KICC)”

I fail to understand where you are going with this. Kenyans decided to name all these institutions and streets. I will not hold brief for them.

“Your home is palatial. (And absolutely awesome sir. Very well done!)”

Thank you.

“How then, sir, are we ‘pamoja’? On what possible fronts can you relate to the common man who has been crippled by the 9 bob rise in kerosene prices?”

You sound like a bright guy. Your questions are however, rhetorical and baseless. Nobody asked you personally to be “pamoja” where you do not want to be. I have every right as a human being, Kenyan and national leader to use that word. Like I said before, feel free to disown yourself from togetherness.

Lastly, the Good Book says that the “sins of the father shall not be visited upon the son”. The kind of questions you are asking are ones which are peddled by idle people too lazy to engage in facts. In any case, what was done before me I will not answer for. Ask me about what I have done. If you are asking me to be ashamed of my father, the man I know spent the better part of his life laying the groundwork for where you are now, you will be disappointed.

Be blessed and Best Regards.

Few of us studied abroad or even had those types of opportunities.
