A Letter from Mt Kenya Voter to President Uhuru, Reveals Deep Concerns

Dear Muthamaki witu,

There will come a time we Gikuyu will wish we never had you as President of Kenya, and that time is nigh!

That time will be when when all the other 42 (43,44?) communities will stand united against us based on your arrogance.

We are living like squatters in Central Kenya, no land (your family has 11,000 acres), no water (your family is diverting it to your new pet project the Northlands City on your 11,000 acres) and in shacks since “independence” while our leaders are busy alienating us from the rest of Kenya led by you.

You take our milk at 35/= a liter after nurturing a cow for years, giving it seed, nurturing it to giving birth, milking it and delivering the milk yo you… extract ghee, cream, butter, cheese, add water and sell it back to us at 60/= half a liter or 120/= a liter. The shop keeper only makes 5/= and juala packaging costs less than 50 cents a packet.

Am too tired to speak about your M-Swari, Sportpesa, Pambazuka Lottery and other extractive ventures (from our pockets to yours) including your media empire that keeps us hypnotized using Hitler style PRopaganda that feeds Gikuyu’s siege mentality against the rest of Kenyans.

We have businesses in Mombasa; You insult Joho & the coastal people. We are trading and working for oil companies in Turkana; you insult Nanok. W have biasharas in Kisii, Migori, Homabay, Kakamega, Busia, Eldoret, Bomet, Kericho, Baringo, Laikipia, Wajeer, Garissa, Mandera, Kwale, Kilifi, Malindi, Lamu, Marsabit, Narok, Kajiado, Taita Taveta…Name it! All over this great country of ours. You go insulting all and sundry in the name of campaigning for a second term!

To make it worse, you go campaigning among our cousins in Machakos, Makueni, Kitui, Kisii, Embu, Meru, Tharaka and you insult them and our other national leaders…you say you don’t need their votes!

While trying too woo western votes you go to Bungoma where Gikuyu own most of the properties and businesses, especially many of us who were evicted from elsewhere in western Kenya in 2007 and they welcomed us with open arms, you insult them!

Urenda atia Muthamaki?!

99% of us own nothing in Central Kenya Mr President! Can you please unite us with all Kenyans please? That’s the only way Gikuyu can thrive!

Kenya is bigger than any one of us!

We either rise together, or die alone!

Is it too much to ask for you to be President of Kenya between today and 8.8.17 instead of the tribal chieftain you’ve been unsuccessfully trying to be last four years?

Reke tumanwo!
