It is not in our nature to discuss issue to do with the government or politics. However, today we felt compelled to address on e issue of which we think the govenment as the headman of leadership a country ough to do. IT is a clear message out there that HIV/AIDS reigns amongst people of the society. These men and women and inevitably children form part of our general population of this country. Talking of men and women being infected with HIV on grounds of knowlege, we want to belive that when these people embraced this mean way of life, they were in their rightful senses.
They vividly knew what they were getting into.Today, a government is left with the burden of shouldering the victims who could correctly choose to shun the disease had they had time to deal with their insecurities, selfish pursuits and proper reasoning as mature people. All in al, something happened and now we have a challenge which is dumped to the authority to cater for in the acting in the best ineterest of citizens.
Take this, that in Kenya, close to two million people are living with HIV infections. The exact and identified figure is one point five million people are suffering under the pandemic of Aids. Out of that number, only a paltry of four hundred thousand are accessed to antiretrovirol drugs to ensure their longevity of life. Meeting such a demand in terms of budget is a huge task to the government. The ministry which is responsible for health spends a large amount of the allocation into buying such drugs thereby hampering other sectors that are subject to the ministry of health.
In that regard, we felt obligated to adice the government to speak to its citizenry to stop risking their lives and therefore offer a word on moral life style issues. Let the government tell kenyans to stop engaging in petty habits that ends up jeopardising their lives. Aids is an expensive disease to treat. We cannot wats money on carelessness. As a responsible you as an individual, you owe your life good guidance as the head. Many people cannot afford to deal with such a misfortune given the many countless challenges that a common person encounters on a daily basis.
There exists a gap of lack of objectivity and clear authoritative word on morals in our society today. We understand that morality is not a law but we cannot just remain silent and watch everything sink because they're not law. We cannot afford to grow a loose society that thrives in vulgarity void to think about the burden bestowed on other people based on their cheap ways of indulgence. We believe a message levelled on this angle could come handy from the government and can cause things to slow down even if it might look absurd to certain quarters.
