OIL DANGER
It is a new dawn in Turkana county.Oil has been discovered. Turkanas now have something to smile at as oil now is in their hands. The Ngamia -1 well yielding Barrels is a hope to the host community, host country, and of course the drilling company. This is according the Kenya's Minister for energy, Kiraitu Murungi. It is now up to the government of Kenya to set up appropriate infrastructure in the area to make tapping of the resource easy and enable transit to the market and to refineries due to the present adverse geographical placement and conditions of the roads in existence. The most valuable resource in the world has been discovered in a place that has suffered marginalization and all forms injustices since colonials time to following successive governments. Many thanks to Mwai Kibaki , Baba has given a deaf hear to what the colonial powers left behind in regard to people from Turkana positions in the Kenya Government.Turkanas also can. Baba Jimmy long life. The rest of Kenya will now stop questioning Turkanas as to why they live in an area that nothing growth on it. Now it will flow honey and milk, sweet fruit will growth on it , it reserves gold, silver and mercury apart from oil and gas.If the county resources are well exploited , Turkana will change its image and outlook from being the poorest to being the richest in the country. It will serve economic safe heavens in the region. Turkana as a region has several others minerals deposits apart from oil.The government has knowledge about this. The existence records were handed over by Britain , the former colonial power. The presence of gold, mercury and other precious stones is there available in archive in Kenya and elsewhere Europe. These minerals in Kenya and Africa at large have been looted in 'name and word of God' for so long. Prove me wrong, recently , a man of God tried his luck or did what he used to do , to smuggle diamond from the neighbouring South-Sudan, through Turkana county border to Kenya . Good enough , he was caught by a south- Sudanese soldier and suffered beating and go free because how you can jail a man God ? Myself failing to understand how he afforded a beat. ' You claiming yourself a man of God and you are steal from our country ?' said the furious soldier as he prepares and positions to give a man of God a proper beat. As if to tell him to differentiate between the word of God and diamond trade. My question is how much have we lost as Africans when we always close our eyes as we pray ? I rise my hands in heaven opening my eyes and ask Almighty God for a blessing just like that mannah that has landed to Turkana land.i will never close my eyes while praying. For so long the clean and pure name of God have been used to loot African since Pre-colonial times because even vehicles used by missionaries and church organizations normally go thorough police check point without proper inspection in the believe that they are in African to help the suffering and spread the word God. Police sometimes assume anybody driving those vehicles is holy .Missionaries employ some people to drive their vehicles while the priest are absent or on other jobs. These employees may have even an ill intentions ! This has made me think of how gun get into cities in the wrong hands ! Kenya police should be on a alert because it is not true that every milk-white substance is pure or clear water is clean and not every mention of God is genuine. it is not my thinking is there in religious books. The feeling in the heart is different from the thoughts at the back of the head. Good deeds are different from the intents of the doers. If it were myself , even vehicles belonging to Honourables should not go through police checks without inspections because that is where drugs and criminals manage their ways through police check points .
