There I was standing in the corridors of KNH starring at nothing as it stared back to me. If only I had
uhuru's number so I could call him and ask him unataka nifanye nini? I heard the president asked
the same question to a room of important people in state house. Important people are supposed to
be smart that is why we pay them big salos so they know what to fanya to reduce graft. But when
important people don't know what to do, mnataka tufanye nini? So there I was with mama
wondering nini tufanya about this, wondering how life could be so unfair to such a hardworking
woman.
Our mothers go through hell to bring us into this world and God gives them the grace to handle our
pain. Yet there is no tomemnt on earth that can equate to the pain of watching the one who brought
you to this world suffer. A storm was brewing inside me by the time we left that office, I was ready
turn off that humanity switch that keeps me on the right side of the law. Mama was ready to throw
some un-Christian words to an employer who had betrayed her at her hour of need. You see Mama
has been working in KNH way before I could sit or stand. She has not only given her best years, but
also given her heart to KNH. This woman loves her job, I have seen her go 3-5 days without sleep just
to make sure that her patients are okay. She is one of those health care professionals who took the
care part of her job a little too seriously. Yet when one of her little cubs was in need they turned
their backs on us. The hospital and Insurance misled us to believe that they would cover the cost
only for them to back out at the last minute. Now we are stuck with a bill that makes you wish your
last name was gates. (Insurance, story for another day, when calmness finds its way back). So mama
is in a fix, she goes through all departments to get a grace period of paying the bill and gets some
forms from the legal department to be filled in the finance department. (Here is where the level of
madness escalate) the Finance department see it fit to tell Mama that they DO NOT offer any credit
even to their own...this is a LIE! Why would the legal department have forms for undertaking if there
are no undertakings? I ask. Then comes the question "what do you want me to do"... *blank look*
And I feel many things, sometimes all things that everyone around me feels. And the feelings are
visible! I see them pacing inside my head! They have conference meetings without my consent! They
make decisions that not even the body can object to!
So when My president asks me 'anataka ni fanye nini? ' these words sting! my heart breaks a little
more! The state in which this state is in, breaks my heart! When I hear 5 billion has been stolen from
the healthcare sector it makes me want to take care of someone with my healthy fists of furry. I
think we all worked our way to mediocrity! Mediocrity in all areas is the "cool kid" and we (yes, we,)
want to be 'with it'.So we make mediocrity part of 'our culture'. I have had it up to here *touches
temple* I am done with having deep waters faith in the shallow end!
So what will I do? I will put on my big girl's andies and go do what needs to be done! No more
passive aggression that finds courage at the comfort of the keypads! No more Que sera sera
attitude! I am enraged!
Mr. President you know I have nothing but utter ,respect for you and the authority you have over
this nation so feel free to go be the PRESIDENT! That is what I would like you to do!
