Eye opener

Lumumba's story was an eye opener
An opinion By Eric Sindabi

The story carried by The Saturday Nation of 22nd January of this year a bout Patrice Lumumba was quite fulfiling and an eye opener to up coming leaders not only of this country but Africa as a whole.
Lumumba's political life as a young aggressive leader was a real inspiration to many Africans and to our young leaders it should be a big lesson. It calls for selflessness and a burning desire to liberate the masses from injustices and slavery being subjected upon them. At the age 35,Lumumba met his death in the hands of people who were opposed to his political philosophy. He had plunged into politics at a mere age of 20 to fight for the liberation of his country Congo.Lumumba adamantly gave up his life as martyr for his country after a long struggle to bring freedom to his people.
When some leaders in kenya claim that they deserve to be in top leadership simply because they are young,it makes me think of Patrice Lumumba.His story should be an eye opener to the so called young leaders in this country. They should pose and ask themselves what they have done for their country even at their advanced ages as compared to Lumumba.A course to liberate Kenyans from political domination by a few that brings about socoi-economic sufferings by Kenyans. Corruption and impunity has been the order of these so called young leaders as history shows and they have little they can do to improve the lives of Kenyans. Theirs is to protect the corrupt means of their political godfathers but they have no other better agenda for this country. They should learn from Lumumba.Let them tell Kenyans what they have done for the nation if not stealing public resources and dividing citizens on tribal lines and war mongering hoping to get to power as to continue protecting their corrupt ways. Shame on them!
