After a local meal for lunch, I relax for sometime before getting back to my normal duty in building the nation. In the 30 minutes break my mind is filled up with many questions about making my life better but this one strikes them all. The gap between the poor and the rich in Kenya, will this end or will the poor have to work hard to get their? what can be done to neutralize this gap? You will first think that the gap is not their or it is just in your village until you think about the things surrounding you in the city. For instance when you get to a big hotel, your access to it depends on how you are dressed, what you got their with and more surprising some guards even judge you with your body to let you in.
There are many things that can make you realize that this gap exists. This weekend was the most proving weekend for me on the issue through electricity blackout in two parts of the city. Part one was Kangemi whose transformer faulted last week on Wednesday but up to now it has not yet been repaired meaning that the area residents have been in blackout in the better part of last week. In Westlands a tree fell on an electricity pole on Sunday causing black out in the area but it took less than 12 hours for situation to be addressed and electricity was back in the area.
Something should be done to end this gap but before something is done we should start it ourselves, Lets make those who are less fortunate feel they deserve living, not making them regret the live they live.
