Of CHANGE and Wanton Political Mantras: Not Yet Uhuru

Now that the presidential election has come and gone, friends are once again becoming friends while erstwhile enemies are now looking for and getting newer fraternizations. People who once belonged to one camp are now quickly re-adjusting and re-aligning themselves in order to be better positioned for the next four years and beyond. For the first time in my country, a ruling party is about to become an opposition party. I watch my kids throughout these events happening before our very eyes, and I wonder how they will appear in their History textbooks and eventually how their own teachers will coin them as exam questions. I just can't help imagining that we are today living our nation's future history. Am so glad am a part of it. I am not glad because I am overwhelmed by the CHANGE mantra. Not at all! At least, I am old enough to know that my country's specie of politicians talk from, not only both sides of their mouths, but from all sides of their bodily orifices.
