Morality Thermostat/ Insecurity

   We are forced to begin our new year on a sad note. The level of insecurity in our country is very perturbing. The extent of senseless killings witnessed in Naivasha Yesterday is a worrying trend in terms of security for this nation. Everywhere seems insecure these days. Security of an ordinary person is so compromised that their deaths every day seems a far cry to the concerned personnel. Security management issues in Kenya seems to be falling out with the defence of this nation. Lives are falling off carelessly everyday. We can't take it given the blood shed of ordinary people.

     No one has the capacity to give a life to a fellow human being. It is even pinching to think of it that another person somewhere has the audacity to commit murder and get away with it. The innocent lives lost in cold blood has come to a shocking level and needs to be tamed if at all our government cares about the citizens. It is the responsibility of the government of Kenya to take care the well being of citizenry including providing a secure environment that can enable people to carry on their daily activities without anxiety and worry about their security. Everyone needs the peace of mind to think better and enhance the conditions of his or her life.

The families of the fallen persons are left with a void that is too big to fill. some are the sole bread winners and as a result, their families are left dis arrayed on way forward. The sleepless nights and gruelling pain notwithstanding is an immoral scar that criminals are treating citizens to. The aspect of innocent bloodshed is our main concern on this issue. Who will account to that blood.? What kind of explanation do these vicious criminals have to just the blood shed? And when they incur this kind of pain, whom are they punishing? The country's leadership needs to wake to this reality and assure the citizen's security.

The fact that their lives are well protected with an arm and a tooth doesn't mean the same thing for the common person on the street. The river between that is seen in security administration needs to improve. It is a right of every human being to be treated with dignity no matter who they are. This is a constitutional mandate that the government of Kenya have to ensure is carried out regardless of whether they like it or not. It is the duty of the state to punish crimes to protect people and country from being tossed here and there by criminal gangs. We therefore appeal to the state to ensure that the careless manner in which life is lost in the hands of crime is tamed. The immoral effect of hacking people to death is running out of hand and must be controlled regardless of the state of equipment available to provide security in the country. It is not in the interest of citizens to know whether the Government is well equipped or lacks competent security skills to control crime but all we want is a clean environment where business and life can exist without looking paranoid.          

poetry; War after war

by John S. Mbiti

We are tired of scandals and cases of senselessness in society. We don't have to experience these wars of moral uprightness. Change is what we want. Just listen to this poem and think for yourselves.

We are tired of waiting for and war.

Our trees their leaves have shed

The writer has come and gone

Spring flowers have blossomed and withered

And here we are.

Still waiting for another war

Our atom bombs have rusty grown

And bald are the heads of those who made them

But we

The ugly martyrs of another war

Do not fear

We have seen wars

We know their taste is sweet 

And their smell is good 

Smoke from the guns is all we dream about

"Choice of attention- to pay attention to this and ignore that is in the inner life. What choice to action is to the outer. In both cases, a man is responsible for his choice and must accept the consequences."

                                W.H. Auden.

OFF CHANGING CLOCK STICK

"Today is the first day of the rest of your life. So don't dwell on the past mistakes because that will get you nowhere. Instead, focus on what you can do and will do today, tomorrow, and the rest of your life, and all of the great things that will happen because of your action."

Editorials/Morality Thermostat/Male person

This week we branch into a tricky issue and look at a male character with his thinking credentials. Why is he always portrayed as a weak creation on pertinent matters of sex and women? Talk of house girls; what of common sense? where is a Male's principles and values? And we dare ask, are male people weak or stupid? Listening to a talk show and at the same time reading, similar topic plays out again.  It is about men and their wayward way of living and thinking. Matters of sexual behavior seems to be too much on their plate such that some is falling off unawares and in the end creating rapturous discussions in the society about their character.

Men appear weak in the face of every passing skirt. Elements of values and morals on their part looks like a far fetched idea. They are falling off and stumbling sooner than expected. Self control has been thrown out of the window and in its place mediocrity has been edified and worshiped. Common day common sense is no longer practiced among these species. They take advantage of availability of some privileges so easily as if it is about pouring water in the glass. Sex for sure has turned out to be a Male's killer practice. How come men cannot exercise sobriety and personal discipline over such critical issue? Are men cows or goats? Why have abased their thinking capacity? Where is the difference between our modern man and a beast? It is so amazing and shocking at the same time how great men have been axed down with small action that has destroyed dignity completely in the eyes of the right thinking members of the society.

Talks of husbands and boyfriends walking away with their house girls are so rampart that one could be temped to think that our contemporary world lacks sensibility and respect. Many a male person have fronted their personal interests at the expense of guiding and running their own families in justice and maturity as expected. Instead they have perfected the art of creating scandals every other day. Girl child today is so endangered in the hands of a father. Where did all these nonsense begin to fall on us to experience such a weak and baseless men in society as the ones we have currently? What happened to common sense and decorum? Why are some boundaries being carelessly being crossed ? Must all these immorality and licentiousness be happening blatantly as we all watch? What of our future generations well being?

Who will actually stand and defend their right to a clean environment and justice? Do men lack brains? Let us be sincere here. Is it stupidity or weakness so we ask again? And if weakness, why can't people seek help to have their legs remain together? Cases of scapegoat lambastes this society in every turn of the eye.  You cannot you as person in your right mind blame the taps when you let water pour down carelessly. You have the capacity to control the water. Man just like any other mature person must exercise good judgment and responsibility. There is a lot of precariousness in families and life in general because of this kind of thinking and acting cheaply. We cannot just commit mistakes left right and blame it on something else. Let men learn how to be reasonable and be accountable to their failures if we are to progress at all. There is nothing like weakness when it comes to sexual affairs. People engage into such lengths well aware of the repercussions in the future. What we want to suggest is for men to style up and come back to their right senses. Their behavior is not serving well in the community.
