More are now concerned with more opinions passing through this messager board on the situation of Kenya as a country.
Everyone is right to give own's opinion depending on any angle on to which you look at the issues.There are people who look at things at bird's view, others worm's view.There could holizantal views or even vertical ones depending on where you are seated. There could be reasons such as to why you are viewing the issue that way or what is your preferred outcome of your interpretations.These ways of ones way to prefer the out comes especially in research are known as methodologies.
The heated debate we have is ''KENYA AS A FAILLED STATE'' I have no view therefore to this as true.I'm not an anylyst on political issues.That does not mean that I have no stake in commenting.
Before we jump into this bandwagon let us in a layman's language list some of characteristics of failled states:
1.No recognised Government or legitimate one
2.Fighting forces within each in need of contrtol
3.Weak currency or none
4.Hugely internal displaced citizens to neighbouring countries
5.High unemployment due to lack of investors.
6.Uncontrollable flow of firearms and drugs leading to crime rates being high
The list goes endless.On the few points we have, where can you now gauge Kenya? There are talks now and then in Northern Ireland on decomissioning of weapons,does it mean it is a failed state?
Words when used carefully can be educative, informative and can be used to agree on diffrent angles.
What we have in Kenya is two pyraminds, one in power (legitimate Government)and powersharing side (ODM). Both sides have views which none is ready to listen.It is these pyramids which are pulling back developments as citizens who voted them watch.This is where it matters when you put someone in Augst's House to bring in developements and all what they can do is just engage in nonesense talks.Nairobi city itself is being taken over in some parts by investors who bring in laundered money from hijacking ships as these pyramid blocks watch.Parts of country are controlled by outlawed sects who make their 'laws'.Parts of country are controlled by vigilante groups who fear that they have no enough protection while both pyramids watch.Police while on patrol are gunned down as it is the rule of the day.
Is this a failed state or a state in control?
