Our Kenyan Men!
Women/wives/mothers in Kenya are burying men/husbands/sons everyday, young old and in-between. How do you explain what is happening in Kenya; to our men! Why are they drinking so much? They are drinking to their deaths and women are being turned into Super-Superwomen and Widows over night.
Young men in Kenya are spending their times drowning their sorrows and insecurities (or thats my view), as what could make you drink so much. They usually use meetings as excuses to meet business associates or their friends, to drink! I have had meetings which begin with a bottle of wine or beer offered to me before we even get started. Someone needs to find out what is going on.
Cirrhosis of the liver, Anemia, Cancer, Heart disease or stroke-Cardiovascular disease,Dementia, Depression, Gout, Blood pressure, Pancreatitis these are some of the diseases that heavy drinking causes. Some of the these diseases caused by drinking and are prevalent in Kenya, and in our Kenyan men.

Why is it that in Kenya, when someone in power does something good for the country they are quickly removed from office? like Mututho….. Where are our white hats? The dark side of the world rules Kenya too hard, we need some good to come through somewhere. Politicians are burying their sons from this same issue every year, whether they want to admit it or not! Why wouldn’t this cause them to care or do something? BUT they do nothing. Corruption is the order of the day. Drink driving? What are the consequences? Illegal levels of drinking allowed by bar owners; What’s up with that?
I actually thought that with Uhuru coming in to state house that we had some hope of change, but we will just leave it there… !!!!
I just feel we need an intervention into our mens behavior in Kenya.
BTW – I am not talking to those men who run their lives with honor and grace. I am talking to those men who need saving. I see you and please know this comes from a place of love! We need you…more than we let on..
God rest our Kenyan men in peace and for those men who are still alive…. I am praying for you always. That God may strengthen you and change and renew your minds to manage this new world and its pressures. May you run to God rather than the bottle. One kills and the other saves!
