Over the past 50 years the tunaomba Serikali (we beseech the Government) mantra has been most loud from Northern part of Kenya. This is one of the saddest refrains of post-independence Kenya. It is hugely unfortunate because it is an expression of utter despair. When a non-northern Kenyan uttered it on TV primetime news, the country sat up and listened. Serikali actually rushed to her aid. The lady from Kano Plains stood knee-deep in flood waters and told my fellow broadcaster and scribe Willis Raburu of her family’s devastating losses following torrential rains, capping her appeal with the northern Kenya plea, tunaomba Serikali.
