It’s the kikuyu who invite hate upon themselves.

I have tried my best to be patriotic and against all odds tried to love this tribe called kikuyu. My take has always been that people should consider themselves as Kenyans before thinking about tribe. My belief has always been that individuals should be judged on the merit and stereotyped as belonging to a particular community. 

During the PEV, I and my wife hid a kikuyu woman in our house for the length of the skirmishes. My college sweetheart Regina was kyuk and my current girlfriend supu and lovemat have kyuk blood. But from what I have seen lately from the political arena, it is the kikuyu who invite hate up on themselves. From their utterances, these are people who think they are superior to other human beings, they think they are the best thing to ever happened to human kind.

They are quick to call Jakom Kihii while forgetting that they are beaten by women day in day out! they boast of being wealthy while the king of jiggers resides right in their midst. To me, a person beaten by a woman should not even open their mouth to utter insults against other communities. The kikuyu have entrenched themselves into all spheres of government and economy. Perusing through the list of permanent secretaries and parastal heads leaves a sour taste in the mouth. You begin wondering whether only kikuyu mothers can give birth to leaders.

To add insult to injury, they are now trying to push this Uhuru Kenyatta down our throats. You hear some people shouting how Uhuru has very high leadership qualities. I have watched how he speaks and behaves and came to a conclusion that he doesn’t even qualify to be a village elder. This is a guy who loses his cool like an adolescent boy and allegedly has human blood in his hands. That’s not my president.

It’s a high time the kikuyu started thinking beyond Mt.Kenya and try to integrate with other tribes. The freedom they are enjoying now to speak profanities against other was brought about by patriotic Kenyans such as raila, matiba, njeru gathangu among others. They should thank Raila for dismantling that KANU gravy train. It is so sad that KANU has reinvented itself through G7 and the kikuyu are in it up to their necks. Do these people ever learn? What remains is for Mudavadi to join G7 (that’s where he is headed) and KANU will be full house.

I am very patriotic and has many kikuyu friends, my good boss is kikuyu too, but these people as a community have to change their mindset if people have to respect them. It is only sensible that we do not have another kikuyu presidency any time soon; other tribes also need to feel recognized as potential leaders. 

Even if we are to get another kikuyu president, it should not be Uhuru and his friend Ruto holding the reins of power. I cringe when I imagine the Uhuru/Ruto axis holding power; we will be a doomed nation.
I will always try to be neutral and non tribalistic but Kikuyus have provoked my primitive senses beyond tolerance.

The bottom line is; if the kikuyu want others to like them, let them climb down from that terrestrial cloud and consider others as human beings. And before they call anybody kihii, let them stop this embarrassment of being beaten by women. A whole man with makende mbili being beaten by a woman!!!This should come right from the top office, that office needs to stop nepotism in appointments to senior government positions.
