Let’s not allow mortar & steel progress to destroy humanity

It is said the family is the smallest unit of the nation. And away from what Jubilee and CORD politicians have been saying on the economy, cost of referendum, East-West relations and other such matters that don’t increase the number of sufurias in your houses in one day, I feel the best way to analyse our progress as a nation is by critically looking at the state of the Kenyan family.

If you listen to radio call-in programmes, some of which we blame for holding the mirror right to our ugly faces,  you can tell the Kenyan family is under siege. There, you hear horrific tales of single ladies proudly thumping their chests how they have become socialites surviving on handouts from rich married men, as young men regale us with heroics on orgies with sugar mummies and married women, old enough to be their mothers. There is also the occasional, bizarre case of a man, or woman about to get a baby with one of his or her children, and is blaming it all on the devil, evil spirits and other invisible night runners from the occult world. It all has to do with our rather devilish worship for money.
