The 166th reminder.... to the PERSON/S CONCERNED

While sitting in a hospital's waiting room for some tests, I couldn't help noticing the t.v. footage of Citizen's t.v. which was showing that Mombasa and Kitale were having a severe water shortage. This is no big news. We NOT been getting water, anyway, since YEARS! No reason given for this state of affairs, as usual, of course.

This is the usual insolent kind of notification that we get in this country. Nairobi, also, is in the same 'boat', too!

Of course, these so-called water shortages started decades ago. Soon after our so-called Independence and have been getting worse since then. Officialdom, seems to be under the mistaken impression that this is the price we have to pay for 'development' and 'Independence'! What crap!

Our so-called 'service providers' seem to be under the impression that they are doing us a favour when they give any of these 'services' (IF, they do), and that they are doing us a great obligation. As if, it's free of charge.

The truth of the matter is that they charge us heavily for every 'service' that they supposedly 'provide', and don't! Hence, we, the public end up 'paying twice' or even more, for nearly everything imaginable. Not to mention also being taxed heavily, which in turn, mostly goes into paying salaries and perks of these 'parasites' and the story keeps perpetuating itself, ad infinitum. Why? Why should we pay and be charged so much, so many times? It's a complete and official daylight ROBBERY and totally unacceptable!

We, in this country, are so FED UP of this state of affairs that had it been at all possible, the entire population of this country would migrate to greener (literally), pastures and left these horrible crooks to live here with each other!
