Call me naive or a political infant, and tell me to ask myself what I can do for the government, the truth is I wish they could do a whole lot with the taxes I pay.

We have been let down by our political class right from independence, they have failed to take up their responsibilities, like a parent with an unwanted bastard child, going about business as usual and forgetting their responsibilities. They have lined their pockets with ill gotten gains, failed to fulfill the mandate given to them by us the "naive" electorate.

This whole bunch know something about those who led our country through the bloody civil strife, they know who pit our people against each other while they enjoyed the comfort of their palatial homes ready with visas and air tickets for their families. The rest of us were turned into hermits, protecting our soft and vulnerable selves and hoping our homes were deep enough to protect us and hoping all the while that our little legs would help us scurry off to safety when things got worse

They will not speak out and are probably too nervous to say anything, anyone they speak out against might reveal something about them and so they stay mum, but why am I defending them they are a greedy and selfish bunch.

I wish our people would stop showing up for their rallies or bazaars and listening to all that nonsense, I wish they would shout them down and ask them to get realistic and not laugh or jubilate at their stupid and stale jokes, I wish they would refuse to turn up and let these leaders speak to empty seats and their boot licking entourage.

Let us love that which is ours, that which we inherited from those who fought for for it, let us safeguard our sovreignity, we have too much to loose if we sit back and do nothing. I think its time that we as a people need to stepped up and fought for our rights. I do not mean that we tke up arms, or go down the bloody road again. We need to find new avenues to get our views heard and get our leaders to step up to the plate and speak out on our behalf as they should. We need to champion a new cause, its time for them to do their job since we cannot kick them out of office, we need our politics to mature, at our age we should be wiser and more ambitious, our responsibilities have grown so are the worlds expectations of us.

We need to make the right choices and educate the "illiterate electorate" we as an electorate need to like really think of the leaders we choose let us really get to know who they are and what they stand for. We need them to brign back knowledge from out there, things we could adopt and help us come up with home grown solutions for our problems. We need to borrow great ideas that have worked elsewhere and bring our economy to new heights, improve on healthcare, do more for our enviroment, improve our infrastructure and get all those things that will make our country a great nation.
