  We voted for these MPs. We placed all our aspirations on good governance on them. They have let us down. They have failed the test. But how are we going to break 5 years waiting period to punish them? I think we should hit the streets not as ODM and PNU, but as Kenyans united against hunger!

  It is sad that while there is enough for all, few amass as the many suffer. A meal should not be a luxury but a necessity. While MPs fly around the world to shop for their lovers, an exhausted Omondi is sipping his sugar-less tea having just returned from the construction site (owned by an MP). Sad.

  The economy needs to be improved and up to now we have not heard how the government will create well paying jobs. Last year was the best economically in recent history and if we had continued that way many people would have been lifted from poverty. Note that even banks no longer hawk loans. The day Kenyans will stop politicking on each and everything will be the start of prosperity.

  Someone needs to donate a heart to our MPs becuase they have none. They have not even bothered to fight for mwananchi. Why do we always elect useless people?
