Kenyan Politicians And Footballers Resemble

Politicians are like a national team, when they play for their respective clubs, they appear to be enemies attacking each other and hurling abuses at each other in the field of play. But when on national duty, they hug and celebrate a goal together.
When our politicians are in the public arena, they abuse and abuse each other,making us actually believe that they are enemies indeed.However, when seated in parliament they agree on issues such as salary increment and send-off packages. We, the fans, on the other hand can even go to an extent of comitting suicide once we hear our favourite team lost.
We can initiate violence because politician X has lost to politician Y. Yet, just like footballers we praise, they dont know that you even exist. We go ahead and butcher each other for holding different political ideologies. We are the fans at the terraces, we pay the gate fee(Taxes) to pay the players, yet the players(Politicians) can deceive us to fight each other unnecessarily.
As campaigns heat up, it is saddening to see Kenyans stooping so low to worship politicians because they want a token, a token stolen from the public coffers. Our youths should learn that the country we call Kenya can only exist if they resolve to peacefully vote and keep off from violent acts. One stone can turn into two and then thousands creating a massive loss of property and wealth. Our economy was crippled after the 2007 elections, because we resolved to engage in violent acts after our preferred candidates, who by the way, are now 'enemies', lost 'unfairly'. The normal lifestyle was paralysed, we went to the streets chanting the "Haki yetu" slogan.We forgot the brotherhood, we forgot our pride.
The same memories may be rekindled if we continue with this trend. We should guard our nation like an egg. Our nation is so fragile that it cannot afford to be hurled with even one single stone. Forget about politics. Take your voters card, elect a mature and responsible leader and go home and continue with your daily chores. These politicians' families live in mansions abroad. When we will start fighting and shedding blood, he will fly away and join his happy family in Australia while your torched makuti house remin stranded in the hills of Gusii or in the lowland of the Coastal region. Pray for peace and prosperity for our beloved country and let us choose peace. Use your voters card, not stones.
