Strong women

She is loved and hated in equal measure. Whether we like it or not, she is the only woman who can hack it into Kenyan presidency come 2012. I knew this when I listened to some old drunk men on my way home the other day. They are Kikuyu men, and old. I would expect them to defend the state of affairs in our country and to protect the political class of the likes of Kibaki, Uhuru kenyatta, Saitoti, Mudavadi and Raila. But nah! They said that they are going to vote for her, that woman, Martha Karua.

I agree with them on the pointbthat she could be the something different taht this country needs. Women bicker alot. they fight, rig each other out of elections through malice, hate each others gus, but women, will never descend to the levels of grand corruption we see in our country. Their chamas will never get to the same point as the gold buddy league we see.

There may be injustice in a woman's tenure. But it will not be the gross injustice againt the mwananchi. it will be instead be against the man who opposes her, or the woman she never liked. Injustice all the same but petty.

Do they have the guts to lead this country? we mean, do they have the guts to command the armed forces and sack corrupt Central Bank Governor? Yes. Are they bold enough to blatantly steal from the masses and condone both high and low level corruption? I dont think so. And I bless them for that.
