There nothing ‘posh’ about supporting a government that kills your people. You are not the first Luo to drive a Mercedes Benz and fly Business Class to Siberia. You aren’t the first to be mentioned in a Benga track throwing expensive rounds in marble-floored villas in pristine Nairobi. You aren’t the first Luo to have a gold tooth, you will not be the last to have a convex-shaped belly that resembles my grandmother’s traditional ceramic water-cooler.
Jimmy Wanjigi is a dollar billionaire, his private residence sits in the same quadrant with that of the American ambassador, the World Bank Country Rep and that of President Mwai Kibaki. Jimmy Wanjigi has a private helipad in his Nairobi home, and takes off to and from his home laughing at you stuck in traffic as he does his business around town. Jimmy Wanjigi is the dictionary definition of a baller. But Jimmy Wanjigi’s home is currently under government siege.
The special crimes unit have been camping there since morning pummeling it to the ground with sledge hammers and terrorizing his farmhands for clues on a non-existent rifle armoury that was supposed to have been smuggled into the country. His expensive mansion is about to go down under a pile of rubble.
Keep sitting there rubbing your beer-belly driving a choking Datsun thinking you are vaccinated from state brutality. Keep sipping contraband vodka puffing Muthurwa cigar thinking you you are shielded from this rogue government out to eliminate anything that moves. The day they will arrive at your mkebe door, and ask whether you want them to kick their way in or you do it the easy way, that’s the day you will regret having taken a lukewarm position on the current state-sponsored terrorism going on in selected parts of this country.
