Re: Religious and incessant other noise - the 22nd reminder

Yes, I'm sure that's exactly what they might be thinking. You could have hit the proverbial nail of the head!

Yes again, to the 22 reminders. In fact, they are more than that. I started the count like for the water reminders, just to see, how many, if any, it will take for these people to apply their law/s.

These 'reminders' are an indictment of their own, don't you think? And a voice for the 'silent' majority. Btw, I was recently told by a very reliable source that in Nairobi there were two different 'reactions' to officialdom's don't care attitude and at least one involved noisy church 'services'.

In one case, the neighbourhood got together (which is more than what my neighbourhood is capable of), drove in their cars and surrounded this offensive venue which was playing loud something, and they all collectively started hooting! I think this got the message across, one hopes, on a permanent basis.

The second case was more 'tragic' but fortunately, nobody was in the church at the time. The neighbours got together and set fire to the offensive place!

One wonders how fast the cops appeared and what they had to say, then.... Normally, they couldn't be bothered. It's such attitude that results in the Wananchi taking the law into their own hands out of sheer desperation.

Yet, in this country, all these so-called officials ignore the many reports which in turn then lead to further lawless acts. That adage about 'justice delayed is justice denied' is so very true and still applies in this country of ours, unfortunately.

Razia.
