Are we Destroying our Motherland - Kenya?

I had a dream. This dream made me wake up so exhausted and with a heavy heart. Apparently I was at a function can’t remember the details but I remember the incidence that woke me up. Some Youths started taking photos taking a foreign brand of alcohol. As they did this the foreigners from whose country the alcohol belonged were clapping and smiling. Actually the young youths were doing a live video.

It was not the taking of the video or foreign brand  that ticked me off to a point was taking the microphone to address the attendees of the meeting, it was the comment the youths made when I spoke to them. I have never been a person to shy away from speaking what I feel is right and against what I feel isn't right. I asked them if they have ever done a video with a Kenyan brand of alcohol and they told me to shut up. Kenyan brands are whack ! 😡😡😡Now that deeply sliced my heart and well yours faithfully went to the podium to address every person attending the meeting. 💁💁💁 

Unfortunately again, one youth who was the DJ of the meeting decided he was not going to tone down the music. 🙉🙉🙉 I forced to speak competing against the music which exhausted me because I was shouting too much. After I was done I went to talk to the Young DJ and these were my words which I need to share with us all. 

Next time a youth tells you they are unemployed or looking for a job, turn to them and tell them I closed doors for you to get employed. Yes that is what it means my fellow citizens. We need to embrace Kenyan brands more than foreign brands. It is quite unfortunate that as a country we import even what we produce of can produce. Probably the reason why we would rather take photos taking a foreign brand of item than one of our own. The sooner we start consuming more Kenyan than less foreign the sooner we shall create more jobs in our country. The sooner we shall start visiting our own Parks, Museums and Hotels the more jobs we shall create. We need to realise that a country that does not have its citizens market for the goods and services it produces is bound to do poorly in terms of job creation. 

I hope we are all challenged enough to find the need to buy a Kenyan product or service. Go watch a Kenyan movie or visit theatres when there is a play going on. Well yes the Kenyan products & service have a lot of improvements to be done . But it shall not be done when we don’t create the market to enable producers improve their products. 

Proudly Kenyan for Kenya.
