Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja yesterday distributed foodstuff worth more than Ksh20million to more than 900 families of Mathare fire victims.
He urged the people of Mathare to work with the current leaders irrespective of their party affiliations.
The Senator was accompanied by Mlango Kubwa MCA Hon Mutheu Musyimi.
“In addition to the support offered today I shall stand by you and help you rebuild your lives. Asante Mlango Kubwa MCA Mutheu Musyimi for also standing with your people. I want to ask you to stay in peace wth each other. Don’t be divided because of politics. Disasters know no tribe. When they hit, they affect everyone. They don’t know Jubilee or NASA”

God Bless SAKAJA for understanding Democracy not like Uhuru and Uthamkai who thinks if you are in the opposition you are an enemy who deserves to die. May God Bless Kenya with such leaders not EVIL HEARTED LEADERS.

I’m not buying into Sakaja magnanimity.

Sakaja is undermining Sonko, most likely he has been tipped on the postion. Once home and dry it will be a different Sakaja, thank me later

The economy for the lowly placed Kenyans is in tatters. Our leadership is aloof and can’t understand the poor person’s predicament. While some parents have committed suicide for not being able to meet the cost of living leave alone take their children to school, the DP yesterday threatened those who cannot afford to take their children to secondary school with a jail term without regard to their circumstance. Not all children are brave to pull the altruistic stance of the girl who walked on foot to school and got reported by the press to win support of sympathizers for fee. Some genuine desperate shows of poverty can’t even be reached by the press. We can’t also use the press to advertise personal poverty to the detriment of childrens personal esteem. Remember that we have heard recurrent crop failure due to bad weather, fall army worm, diseases and being exploited by corruption cartels selling fake fertilizer to farmers only to turn around to import maize. When there is corruption at the top echelons of the society with the Kaburas and Ngunyis carrying stolen cash in gunny bags as if they are taking waru from their farms and stuffing the money in safes in their fortresses, such money is not let to flow freely back to the economy to be able exhibits of the theft. The poor person down here is really struggling as there is no cash trickling down from these rich thieves who focus on buying imported goods including sukuma wiki from South Africa. Where do these poor parents being threatened with jail get money to educate their children? Which parent in Kenya would not want their child to go to school if they can afford to take care of their education? Do we now realise what the reported lost billions the government can’t account for or lost through the inflated sgr contracts could have done to support the economy or that poor child get education? Can we be that too aloof and cold to the suffering poor to the extent we blame the victims of our own greed? Which part of Kenya was the DP addressing? Was it Marakwet, Central, Nandi, Kericho and Bomet or Nyanza or Western Kenya where main cash crops have been frustrated by politically connected commodity import cartels? Where do we steal to take our children to school?
