Dear Mr.President

I vividly remember standing under the scotching sun for 8 hours on the 4^th of March , it was the first time to ever exercise my civic duty; I did not sleep the night prior to the election, no one at home did, we sat up painting a successful Kenya under your government what had confidence in your leadership. I was sure of job security upon finishing campus or the prospects for facilities to help my small campus business to grow. Like mother always said you are your father’s son and had no doubt of your delivering in your term.

It is now a year since and, let’s admit it, you had a rough start, rolling out a government with a new constitution which involved the office of the Senate and Governorship (many of whom are either busy chairing senseless commissions or starting fad projects in attempts to buy Kenyans, add weight to their CVS for future prospects or just to milk the taxpayers’ money) , dealing with the MPs whose first agenda in parliament was to raise their pay not to mention the state which retired President Mwai Kibaki left the teachers among many other weighty issues. This was not your usual life on a silver platter, then it all went to the dogs with the teachers’ strike that lead to a ripple effect with the rest of the civil service and then the Westgate Siege , Mpeketoni attacks;  man  your trials in leadership beat the pauper life, such is the making of leadership.
