Am a proud citizen of Kenya. Asking why? well just imagine that once in a blue moon ,
after 50 years of independence, we have this one guy who has proven that it is possible to drink water where everyone is drinking wine! Dr. Fred Matang'i ,currently serving in the ministry of education as the cabinet secretary, has shown exemplary style of leadership that Africa has been yarning for.
From over 7000 cases of examination malpractices experienced in the previous leadership of person x, the cases went down to 21! May be am dreaming, but i think this is a good move. In the previous years before he took on the throne, atlest 4000 students were susceptible to missing their results for engaging in examination cheating.To him, the students were too innocent to miss results after couple of years in schools, and that curbing examination malpractices was dependant on the administaration and the ministry at large. Indeed he proved it right by reporting zero case of students missing their results. If only we had 5 leaders with the same ideology like this guy, Kenya would have been a beautiful girl. Well let us get it better in the poem below.

YOU THAT IS MISSING
Wishes and fantasy,
are my portion,
Set in a race from my brain neurones,
down my spinal cord,
to my thin feeble feet,
If only we had many of you,
you that is missing,
May be only 2 of you,
you that knows that,
leadership is not everything,
but the only thing,
that leadership ought to be ,
and is sacred,
you that happily drinks black water,
when all the others drink wine,
you that sheds tears not for pain,
tears for the plight of this mama,
the hungry mama in north eastern Kenya,
where firewood is the carcass of the ,
herds of cattle,
that have succumb to serious dry spells,
where collecting rain water,
is an act of romance aimed at ,
getting a baby ,
for a man who was totoured in a
vasectomy,
There it rain once a year,
and the water hardly fills a mug,
You that sits on the same matatu after Job,
with she that knows not the fuel price,
You are the you that Africa misses.
